A happy birthday to you.This is part of kuliang.
The house with a cross is our house. And the O is the stone church. About all houses are stone. Our roof now is flat, though the road comes down to the corner.
Love from Adith
We have no road where we are, so this is the way we ride. We go this way or walk or take a boat, for we are on the Min River. These chair men will walk all day, making about 30 miles that time..我们这里没有路,所以这是我们出门的办法。我们这样出门或者乘船,因为我们在闽江上。这些抬椅子的人会整天走路,一天能走30英里。这反映出清末民初,福建交通状况很差,福建多山,地势不平坦,不适合驾驭马车。气候潮湿,有蛇,所以出门搭乘轿子是传教士或者达官贵人的首选,很多传教士甚至在雇佣轿子的费用上和轿夫讨价还价,这明信片里的轿夫赤脚,遥想当年劳动人民的辛苦~
