EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in the 1960s during China's Communist era, as a group of dedicated young people engage in a waterway survey in a lush, green field. The scene exudes a sense of purpose and determination, as the students use surveying equipment, including a tripod-mounted camera and various measuring tools, to record data for their project. Propaganda images from this period often depicted the Chinese People's Republic as a thriving, progressive society, where education and practical skills were highly valued. This photograph is an excellent representation of that ideal, as the young surveyors combine the knowledge they've gained in school with hands-on experience in the field. Their focused expressions and determined postures suggest a deep commitment to their work and a strong belief in the importance of their contributions to their community. The photograph is part of the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offering a unique glimpse into the daily life and educational experiences of China during the 1960s. This image serves as a powerful reminder of a time when the pursuit of knowledge and the application of practical skills were seen as essential components of building a better future for the Chinese people.
