Abdul Aziz Rumjahn (a.k.a. Arthur James Rumjahn) (1904 Hong Kong-2nd March 1975 Hong Kong) was a distant cousin of mine. This photo of him in Hong Kong has been given kind permission by his grandson to be posted here in gwulo after we recently made contact as part of my family history reserach.

He lived in Hong Kong his whole life. Does anyone recognise the beach? My first guess is Big Wave Bay on HK island but clarification would be welcome.

How amazing to see this photograph, together with the Weightman family tag! I am a researcher (with family ties of my own to Hong Kong) who's been interested in the Weightman/Hing/Rumjahn connection for some time now -- I'd be so glad to be in touch with you and/or Arthur Rumjahn's grandson to share what I know and learn more.
