Original – Hsue-shen Tsien with his family onboard SS President Cleveland
Reason
good quality, good EV. It's a photo of Hsue-shen Tsien, who was suspected to be a communist in 1950, was under house arrest for 5 years, and then was deported to China. In the US he was a PhD student and a colleague of Theodore von Karman, and is often mentioned as one of the founders of the Jet Propulsion Lab. In China he became a father of satellite and missile programs, and eventually of the whole Chinese space program. This photo was made on a ship when he and his family was deported in exchange for American soldiers captured during the Korean war.

    I think its big problem is it's an (undocumented) crop of the original image which removes a lot of the context that makes it valuable for this use. I'll have a go at this. Miss Beatnik I guess isn't on a timescale anymore. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.5% of all FPs. 13:27, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Adam Cuerden, thanks for the comment, I was unaware that this is a crop, will be more meticulous in the future. Here is full photo from source File:Hsue-shen Tsien with his family onboard SS President Cleveland (full).jpg, would be great if you'll get a better crop.
