Across-time Conversation

It has been 70 years since World War II ended. How time flies. The little innocent girl has become a white-haired old lady now. Jewish refugees have been thinking of this hometown belonging to them all the time after the war when they left Shanghai. Many Jews come back now to see this place where they had been living and look for those who once helped them. The woman in the picture came back to Shanghai a few years ago, returning to the old home with the photos to recall every detail of her childhood.
