...hobbies-which she delighted in sharing with Witke-were horticulture and photography. She took pictures constantly, not in the socialist fashion of factories and farms, but of the subjects favored by traditional Chinese painters-flowers sparkling with morning dew or mountains silhouetted against the evening sky.
