Cheng (Chan) Uk, Nam Chung, 1981.png

Taken in December 1981 by Lawrence Chan, who had left Nam Chung since the mid-1950s, working as a seaman around the world and later settled in Australia. The photo shows a row of three houses overlooking a small piece of fenced farmland with winter sweet potato crops. If you look closely you'll see two bare wood trunks on the left, they were used for hanging live dogs where they were cut in the throat and left to bleed to death. Grotesque.

Chuk Tau Ha, Nam Chung, 1950s.png

View of paddy fields at Chuk Tau Ha竹頭下, Nam Chung. The photo was thought to be taken in early 1950s, but unconfirmed. The dogs were said to be mating (but who knows).
