Description |
English: In 1920 and 1921, China suffered a serious famine made worse by civil war. Between fifteen and twenty-five million people died in five northern provinces alone. In Seattle, people of Chinese ancestry worked hard to raise money for the Chinese Famine Fund.
This photo shows a group of Chinese students from the University of Washington who acted as tour guides in Chinatown to raise money for famine relief. Some of the students wear traditional clothing and others wear western clothing.
