The time swiftly entered the year *, and when Liu Hongqing turned one hundred days old, Ye Huan took him to the photography studio, spending the high price of one yuan for a black-and-white hundred-day photo. She got five prints, sent one back home, and kept the rest in her space to avoid losing them in the future.
In this era, all photos were black and white, and the hundred-day photos were only about two or three inches in size, with white borders. They came with complimentary negatives, the kind you could develop yourself in the future.
Liu Hongqing had a solo photo taken, and about a week later, the couple, dressed in military uniforms, took another photo holding him.
In total, there were ten photos, for two yuan – five photos for one yuan, ten photos for two yuan, which was considered a high price in those days.
