China has come a long way. These pictures are in reminiscence of the old days, dirt poor but with undeterred spirits.
I wish her to become a great nation to lead this part of the world into prosperity and harmony again.
Very good photos.
Was this parade organised after completion of revolution in 1949?
My grandfather was originally going to be commissioned as a naval officer under the KMT government. He graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University specializing in steam turbine, and was undergoing his military education. However, KMT retreated from Shanghai so quick that the entire class of officer recruits got left behind. Communists took them in and that class formed the first officer corp of the South Sea Fleet. A year later, he fought at Wanshan Archipelago Campaign against KMT as a gunboat captain.
Funny how fast fate changes.
