This photo of Yung Mei Ling was taken at Lan Xin Photography ("Lan Xin Photography, Lee's studio" is printed at the bottom right of the photo),  a relatively famous photo studio at King's Road.This is the earliest photo of Yung Mei Ling discovered so far.  The use of the round chair for young children was very common in Hong Kong at that time. 

Yung Mei Ling was about two or three years old when the picture with a doll was taken where she sits on a dark round cloth chair . Maybe also taken by "Lan Xin Photography". 

Other information: "Overseas Chinese Daily" on May 29, 1954 "Lan Xin Photo Studio opens early next month": "Lan Xin Photo Studio, a first-class photo studio with the latest equipment on King's Road, will be grandly opened at the beginning of next month after several months of preparation and installation..."

"Lan Xin Photography Company" at the Emperor The house number of No. 338 Road is still there, it has been changed its name. Old photos can be seen on the Internet.

阿翁小时候几个月大的婴儿照片,是在兰心摄影拍摄的,这是目前发现阿翁最早的照片了。可以看到照片左下方印有“兰心摄影,下面是Lee's studio ” (谢谢一枕清蓝的发现)。。。这种幼儿坐着的圆椅子那时候在香港很常见,也有很多艺员拍照坐在类似的椅子上面。。。林迪华坐着的椅子蛮像阿翁的,线条也是深色白色间隔的。。。。。。阿翁大概两三岁抱着布娃娃也在一个深色圆布椅子上面拍照,不知是否也是“兰心摄影”,和陈百强的深色圆布椅子也是一样的,说不定两人都是在此拍照的。。。。张爱玲的经典照片就是在此拍摄(发现张爱玲的名字可以拆解为——张爱玲,张明如爱翁美玲),看来翁爸爸翁妈妈对阿翁真的非常疼爱,拍照还特意来英皇道这个的兰心摄影馆,应该比较有名的照相馆吧。阿翁小时候家在山顶,距离英皇道10多公里,算不上很远。。。。其他资料:1954年5月29日的《華僑日報》〈蘭心照相館下月初開幕〉:
「蘭心照相館,設在英皇道上的一家具有最新設備之第一流照相館,經過幾個月的籌備和裝置,即將於下月初隆重開幕。。。。。。「蘭心攝影公司」於英皇道三三八號的門牌仍在,當然換了另一家商號,這一帶始終沒有繁盛如中環。北角渣華街已易名渣華道,明渠水坑東邊的僑冠大廈(1966年落成),前身是商務印書館,老照片網上可睹,只是兩三層的廠房,佔地極廣。渣華道的廉租屋(1957.12.5~2002.9)在張愛玲離去時,仍未竣工。。。。
