I bought the book because the two photos of the little girl holding the doll in the book is my cousin. The photos in the book are exceptionally and amazingly beautiful. I spent six years of my childhood in both Kunming and Chongqing. The photos bring me back to those memorable days. My father had taken over one thousand pictures during those years, but they were all in black and white 35mm negatives. I also bought the book for my brother who, like me, enjoys it tremendously.
