Many songs have been sung and stories written about the city of Harbin, and this city has gone through many extraordinary times. The builders provided its foundations; after them came the conquerors, then the liberators, later the nationalists and lastly in 1949 its landlords, the Chinese, under the leadership of Chairman Mao. This is a basic introduction; details about who dug up the earth, chopped the wood, laid the bricks and sewed the attire are left at the edges of my story, as I will be looking at those who gave medical treatment to the people of Harbin.

Hello
I had a very close friend named Nina Shudnat, a white Russian that spent severala years in Harbin until she came to Australia with her aunt in 1956. I have a photograph that may interest you. I will paste the comments written on the reverse of the group photograph. Happy to send you the photograph image.

On the edge is my brother’s wife sitting.You probably remember the Polovnevs from Harbin – the heirs of the Chistyakov Tea Factory. The Reds took Polovnyova’s husband to Russia by force and he died there. She came here from Harbin recently - completely grey although she is only a bit older than thirty.
