Hi Ivan!
You can try some easy ones (landmarks), or some where you know the location/ address. No hurry.
Best Regards Pär

Oh, that is an interesting idea. I am not sure where to start digging, however!

Hi Ivan!
Thank you for this feedback! :-)
I'm sure the China I experience today is quite different to what you have seen. I would love to see your photos and compare. Maybe we should do a project together? Your photos from a place and direction in Beijing back then, and I'll go to the same place and shoot in the same direction and use the same framing today. Then we can compare the development of the city.
Best regards Pär

I really like your work. I have a sense of nostalgia in reviewing it because of my experience as an international academic/consultant to China back in the early 1980s through mid-1990s. I generally lived in the Peking Hotel near Tienamin Square. In the early 1980s, they still had those huge piles of cabbages at street intersections, and cabbage was still the main/only vegetable in evidence at the Peking Hotel. I must dig out some of my early photographic images (K1000) of the time in China, including a (then) monumental train trek from Beijing down to Guandong/Canton--such scenes of Chinese peasantry, coal burning trains, and so on.
Keep up the great work!
