Description
This is a photograph of some of the people of Sunwi [now Xinhui] who crowd around to see what the Maryknoll priests were doing. They were extremely camera shy, and the priests were not there long enough to break them down. There were very few Christians here, and the pagans won't let you take their pictures.
