Amateur unedited footage, each sequence of very short duration. Smartly dressed men stand around, basketball, views of the countryside, children accept treats thrown by a man in a white coat. A man with a cigarette balancing on his lip sprinkles oil or a liquid on a child's head (could be a children's home or orphanage). Chinese laboratory staff in white coats group outside the Henry Lester Institute and Western men and women organise themselves into a group, possibly for a photograph. The attendees smile and then troop inside. Exterior views. Considerably more people are then seen as a group. More buildings (corrugated construction, possibly shots in the complex). Chinese men in Western suits smile and demonstrate bonhomie, a woman enters the shot.
