Note du spécialiste

NOTE:
Mr N. I. Low (1900-1986) was born in Fuzhou, China, and later moved to Singapore to make a living. He served as an education officer in Singapore and also wrote Recollections: Chinese Jetsam on a Tropic Shore and When Singapore Was Syonan-To. These books tell the stories of the Chinese community in Singapore during the first half of the twentieth century. Mr Low translated Xu Beihong’s A Brief Introduction to the Three Scrolls of Chaoyuan Xianzhang. As a return, Xu Beihong sketched Low’s portrait in July 1939.
