Collection search - Quatre hommes âgés jouant au Mahjong

Titre fondé sur la légende suivante tirée du photoreportage de l'ONF: Shopkeepers and farmers from nearby Lulu Island meet in Chinatown clubroom to play Mah Jong. Strong racial and family ties account for local and national clubs and societies. Each family has its Kung Saw, a family organization to which each member contributes. When any member is in trouble, he turns to the Kung Saw for help. Most powerful organization in Chinatown is the Chinese Benevolent Association which sees that no Chinese becomes a charge on the community, represents the Chinese in dealings with provincial and municipal officials, and is big enough to mediate in differences between tongs and families.
