Description
"Shaowu campus" "31. Porcine psychology 7/39" Two young men struggle to get a pig on (or off?) the ferry over a narrow wooden gangplank to the rocky beach. Two men in the boat appear to be wrestling with another pig, while a man in a straw hat stands in the ferry's bows with a punt pole. Hills visible across the river.
Fukien Christian University had a refugee campus in Shaowu during the Sino-Japanese war.
