Alley was born in Springfield in Canterbury in 1897 and christened Rewi, after Rewi Maniapoto, a Ngāti Maniapoto leader. Spending his formative years in New Zealand, he attended Christchurch Boys’ High School before volunteering for military service. He was wounded in France and awarded the Military Medal for bravery and devotion to duty under fire.
Upon returning to New Zealand, he cleared and farmed an area in Moeawatea, near Waverley, in Taranaki for six years. Following this short farming stint, out of curiosity he decided to visit China to – in his own words – “go and have a look at the Chinese revolution.” This was to be a turning point for him as China effectively became his home for the rest of his life.
This photography exhibition follows Rewi’s move to China in 1927 and includes his participation in the Gung Ho (Work Together) movement, right through to being recognised for this service in New Zealand where he was made a Companion of the Queen's Service Order for community service in 1985 by Prime Minister of the time, David Lange.
His journey included coming to the aid of Chinese workers experiencing severe job exploitation, opening a school and re-introducing soldiers back into work following various conflicts.
The exhibition is a fascinating look at a remarkable New Zealander and is on until November 11, in tandem with the Suzhou exhibition.

You won't be able to find plastic straws in Countdown stores from October 1 - they're off the shelves! To read more, click here.
Countdown is removing them from all stores and replacing them with a range of alternatives including bamboo, metal and paper straws.
The supermarket's move is expected to remove 11.6 million straws from circulation and the waste stream each year. WOW.
Do you think other NZ supermarkets should follow suit?
