I’ve spent time editing my photographs during the quarantine. I want to share the pictures I took traveling during my Chinese Fulbright fellowship. They form an interesting record of life in the People’s Republic of China during 1997 and Spring 1998. The internet had just come to Chinese campuses. Also, Chinese students were now responsible for finding their own jobs, rather than being placed by the government. Thus, the China I recorded combined traditional, communist, and capitalist features; interesting contrasts.
The Fulbright program sponsored scholar’s travel to give guest lectures on any State University campus. I traveled to many different regions of China in addition to my posts in Wuhan, Chang Chun and Beijing on this program. I have alphabetized the photos by location. The photos include daily life, natural history and cultural history. Enjoy!!
