In this fascinating photo--a virtual Norman Rockwell still-life of wartime life in China--Chinese troops, American troops, and Chinese civilians cross the Xiao river (潇水) via ferry near Lingling, China, during WWII. In the background, on the east bank of the river, is the Huilong Pagoda (零陵回龙塔), which remarkably still survives today, and has been restored.
