This is a group of old photos taken in May 1947 from American Life magazine. When the author was shooting in Lintong, Shaanxi Province, he met a fortune teller who was watching people’s lives
The foreign reporter looked very mysterious and was very interested in it. After watching the old man telling fortune for several people, he took 38 photos at a time to record this moment. I was wondering if the voice was not bad. Maybe the author would try it himself
Today, more than 70 years later, I put this group of photos together to let us feel the flavor of the Republican era in 1947
