Mr. Ong's wife in the field they cultivate behind the house of a Hindustani (South Asian Indian) family on the western outskirts of the capital city of Paramaribo. They are from Shanghai, China. The entire Ong family came together to Suriname. The Ong's planned to come to Suriname for seven years, or so. They love the weather, lack of winter in Suriname because they can farm all year long. They have not decided yet whether they will return to China. Moments after this photograph was made, Mrs. Ong said that she was "told not to talk to me", but by whom, it was not clear.
