EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment during China's Cultural Revolution in the late 1960s. In the image, a stern-faced military doctor, dressed in his uniform and wearing a cap, instructs three young women as they practice acupuncture techniques. These women, known as "barefoot doctors," were an essential aspect of the Communist regime's rural healthcare system. Barefoot doctors were typically village-based farm workers who received basic training in primary healthcare and hygiene, including acupuncture. The program was an organized effort to improve healthcare access in rural areas, where medical resources were scarce. The name "barefoot doctors" came from their lack of formal medical education and their close connection to the land and the people they served. The photograph is a powerful example of the state's use of propaganda during the Cultural Revolution. The image reinforces the idea that the Communist Party was dedicated to the welfare of the people, particularly those in rural areas. The doctor's military uniform and the women's serious expressions add an air of authority and discipline to the scene. The photograph is from the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, a vast archive of historical images that offers a unique window into the past. This image is a poignant reminder of a time when the Chinese Communist Party sought to mobilize its citizens to build a more equitable and healthier society, even in the midst of political upheaval and social turmoil.
