hi guys,
i am really sorry that i have forgotten to tell you the right answer. sorry!
the man in the picture was a night watchman. he worked in a french settlement, so he was well dressed. the knife in his left hand was used to protect himself. night watchman was a kind of career only existed in ancient China, and their obligation is to tell time at night and frighten the thief by striking a drum or gong.

I am sorry, but... what do you mean? This was the special rule in French Concession or what?

hi,

i don't have the precise answer, but i think that most people living in french concession were rich and of high status, so they would like their servants appear to be superior to those of others'. it is very much like that high standard restaurants have their servants in beautiful clothes nomatter what salary they get everymonth. they are dressed catering to the status of their guests. similar reasons, am i right?
