EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken in July 1970, the mighty Yangtze River (Changjiang) in Communist China plays host to a unique training exercise. A formation of men, both soldiers and civilians, brave the cool waters of the river, their determined expressions etched on their faces as they swim in unison. The scene is a poignant commemoration of a visit from Chairman Mao Tse-tung, which took place four years earlier. The swimmers' stoic demeanor speaks volumes about the character-building ethos of the Chinese Communist regime. The mental and physical strength they are honing through this rigorous exercise is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Chinese people. The boats in the background, with their red flags flying proudly, serve as a reminder of the state's unwavering commitment to its citizens. This photograph is a captivating snapshot of a bygone era. The 1970s in China were marked by a relentless focus on building a strong and resilient populace, and this image encapsulates that spirit of courage and bravery. The swimmers' toughness is palpable, as they face the challenges of the water with unwavering determination. This powerful image, taken from the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of a time when the Chinese Communist Party's emphasis on physical and mental fortitude was at the forefront of its agenda.
