In rural China, summer was a time to prepare against winter. Here, old raw cotton mattresses are shredded down, refluffed and then tied down with a web of threads. Finished examples on the box. #rurallife #China #China1990s
A rare shot of me in China with hair… I’ll tell you how I ended up with a shaved head sometime. 😉⠀ ⠀ This is English Corner, where students could come and practise speaking, and – more importantly – find out about the rest of the world.⠀ ⠀ I spent hours talking to my students and fellow teachers. Talking is a good thing. ⠀ ⠀ #conversations #China #China1990s #EnglishCorner #VSO
A brief stop at Nanjing University, May 1998, on a trip down the Yangtze River from Yibin to Shanghai for @time. We just followed our noses interviewing and photographing spontaneously along the way. Showed up on the campus here. No appointment. Kept moving on a brisk walk through. Talked to students and made the few pictures possible before the window was closed by suspicious security. To kick off the trip we bought a bottle of the best Wuliangye baijiu at the distillery in Yibin.

No obsession emerges out of blue. My ongoing addiction to body painting begins with a series of little red dot. One year of little (hairless) girl (me) was very interested in being an object of camera. Have you ever got such red dots in photography studios? Is it a site-specific tradition or a universal memory of Chinese children born in the 1990s? . . . #reddot #childhood #oldphoto #oldtime #borninthe1990s #borninchina #babyphotography #bigheadchild #collectivememory #china1990s #九零後 #bodypainting #bodyart #source #personalhistory #revisityoungerself

Construction of the Yanan Road elevated highway in Shanghai, June 1997. I often climbed up on the project to photograph it, walk alone above the congested streets and lanes and document views from there of the city. . If you’ve been to Shanghai, it’s likely that you were stuck in traffic at least once on this elevated Yanan Road, which runs East-West and intersects with the North-South Road. That interchange is visible here in the background. . Copyright 1997 Fritz Hoffmann #yananroad #shanghai #downtherabbithole #toanotherplace #highflyingroad #china1990s #fritzhoffmann

I’ve been a very shy kid since young. And I think this was the first time my mom took me to a professional photo studio to take a picture together. But I was too shy to even face the camera. I love how the photographer still captured this awkward but sweet moment on the camera 💞 Happy Mother’s Day!! ♥️🌷 . #mothersday #motherdaughter #motherhood #love #china1990s

This photograph was taken in the 90’s somewhere in China. I think this photograph depicts a chinese opera performer getting ready for a performance. I do not know exactly where or by whom this photograph was taken. If anyone knows please send me a message. #90sphotography #china1990s #facepiant #lookingthroughthewindow #makeupapplication #vintageasianphotography #vintagephotography #pink #chineseoperaface #china #中国 #chinesephotography #chineseopera #atmosphere #green #greenandpink #pink
