This donation receipt from the 29th year of the Republic of China has long transcended its original function as a “payment voucher.” It serves as a mirror reflecting the social landscape of a turbulent era: it reveals the hardships faced by underprivileged children, the sense of responsibility demonstrated by national capital, and the self-help efforts of civil society; It is also a key that unlocks the hidden corners of modern China, bringing the individual destinies and social details overlooked by grand historical narratives back into the public eye. For collectors, preserving this receipt is, in essence, safeguarding a collective memory that should not be forgotten.
