Wong has a grown-up son of twenty who will succeed to the bank; he is at present the managing proprietor of a small general store purchased for him by his father.

The son has been taught photography by Mr.Jensen, and has an excellent camera obtained from Paris.

He is quite an enthusiast.

In his shop a crowd is always gathered round the counter looking at the work of this Chinese amateur.
