Released a group of old photos of rickshaw pullers in Beijing in 1946 by Mark· Kaufman

Mark· Kauffman (Mark Kauffman, 1923-1994), photographer of LIFE magazine. He became a photographer at the age of 17. His career has lasted for 30 years, covering the United States, Europe and the Far East. Most of the photos of LIFE magazine in China from 1945 to 1949 were taken by him, who was only in his 20s. Kaufman was only 23 years old when taking this group of photos

Seeing the word rickshaw puller, many people think of a word“ Camel Xiangzi”, Perhaps in people’s impression, rickshaw puller is a derogatory term. Although hard work, it is not a dignified career

But most of the rickshaw pullers shown in this group of old photos are in good condition, often smiling, revealing another mental outlook

发布一组1946年北京的人力车夫老照片,拍摄者为马克·考夫曼。

马克·考夫曼(Mark Kauffman,1923-1994),LIFE杂志摄影师。17岁成为摄影师,职业生涯长达30年,足迹遍布美国、欧洲和远东地区。《LIFE》杂志1945年至1949年中国各地的照片大多出自他手,年仅20多岁。拍摄本组照片时考夫曼才23岁。

看到人力车夫这个词语,很多人想到了一个词“骆驼祥子”,或许在人们的印象中,人力车夫是个贬义词吧,虽然努力拼搏却换不来尊严的一种职业。

但是这组老照片中展示的人力车夫大多状态还不错,经常笑容满面,透露中另一种精神面貌。

晏森的祖先爱新觉罗岳托,是皇太极哥哥的儿子。岳托自幼随皇太极征战,功劳卓著,被列为十二个铁帽子王之一。等到晏森这一辈,已经是第十二代了。

晏森十四岁承袭王位,刚领了两年俸禄,溥仪宣布退位,清朝就灭亡了。从小锦衣玉食荣华富贵的晏森,没有了生存能力,没有办法只好靠变卖家产过活。这位很彻底直接把王府卖给了北洋政府总理熊希龄,听说卖的巨款8-10万大洋。

可是晏森却天天吃喝嫖赌,卖王府的钱很快花光。接着又打起了祖坟的主意,被各家王府羡慕不已的御赐驮龙碑卖给了张学良,张学良把驮龙碑运到关外,摆在张作霖的坟墓前。晏森还把坟地上百颗大树全部砍伐,卖给了木材厂。祖坟,则卖给了宫里老太监崔玉门。

晏森又拿到了五六万大洋,可是他不知道珍惜,照样莺歌燕舞、花天酒地、吃喝嫖赌,这些银子很快又给他败光了。

晏森这一次众叛亲离的滋味,曾经的家人和狐朋狗友全都离他而去。没有办法为了填饱肚子,晏森弄了一辆黄包车,开始拉洋车挣钱。据说当时北京城的人看稀罕,每次他出车,一堆小孩子就在后面叫“车王”、“车王”、“王爷拉黄包车喽”,晏森也死皮赖脸不在意。

据说当时前清的王爷、贵族,看见晏森拉车,都觉得给他们丢人。包括溥仪在内,王爷、贵族们都给晏森接济,让他干点别的营生。溥仪在东北任伪满洲国皇帝的时候还接他去了东北,他去转了一圈回来了,说给日本人做走狗还不如拉黄包车舒坦。

这晏森也是不争气,一旦有了钱,就是吃喝嫖赌,很快就败光了。就这么过着穷困潦倒的生活,没过几年,日军%侵%华的时候,晏森就饿死了。

如果晏森真的死在日%军%侵&华时候的话,那照片里面这位肯定就不是了,本组照片拍摄时间1946年,显然不可能是照片里面这位了。
