Canton pictures prior to 1960s?
Bit of a longshot, but does anyone have any old images of Canton (Guangzhou)? My grandmother was born in Canton in 1940 and lived there until she fled to Hong Kong aged 20. She described her family home and her grandmother's home. The latter in particular sounds amazing! So spacious. Her grandmother (born in the 1880s) had plenty of land and money before the Second Sino-Japanese War, WW2 and communism destroyed their lives. The entire family ended up living in poverty. My Nana watched several family members die of starvation. My Nana was an incredibly sickly child due to starvation.
