Summary

Description
English: Qing-era Chinese political reformer and thinker Kang Youwei (seated) photographed with his Sikh guards in Singapore, ca.1897–1901. Kang Youwei was protected by Sikh guards in Singapore. During the Boxer Rebellion, Kang Youwei was in Singapore. He was worried that the Qing government would send assassins, so he assigned more than a dozen Sikh guards to protect him.

Album/mount caption:

"光绪二十六年五月午节版好于星做

是仍拳西亂吾被重埔英國如心捕十八

護衛心先少印度術兵作在十人靚些

見中国特亨え返美更生"

("The May Noon Festival edition of the 26th year of Guangxu period is better than that made by Xingxing. The arrest was still in the Western chaos of boxing. I was heavily punished by the British. Ru Xin arrested 18 people. Guarding Xin Xian Shao's Indian martial arts skills were more beautiful among ten people. Seeing the Chinese tycoon, he returned to the United States and was reborn.")

Published with the following caption: "康有为(中央坐者)与众护卫合摄于新加坡。" ("Kang Youwei (seated in the center) with his escorts in Singapore.")

Licensing

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise.

Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
