The characters on the inside of the gate say, 'The Gate of the School's Friends' (i.e., Alumni Gate). Notice the local color at the road, the two policemen in uniform, the students in informal summer clothes, and the ricksha pullers, even more informal. This picture was taken before 'the incident'. Now two 'strangers' complete the picture, with rifles and sometimes bayonets." A distance shot of the alumni gate, where the Chinese architectural stylings on top are clearly visible. Some people in Western dress are milling about at the gate, and to the right of the photo is a rickshaw and driver.
