Though unidentified by name or background details, this image serves as a powerful testament to countless unsung heroines who braved challenges to provide for their families. It offers a window into Guangzhou's bustling waterways where these strong-willed women played an integral role in supporting their communities. As we gaze upon this remarkable print capturing a moment frozen in time over a century ago, let us honor these resilient mothers whose stories continue to inspire generations today.
