The anniversary of the communist revolution in China is in early October; it is a national holiday. Chairman Mao's body was lying in state in the Great Hall of the People. Notice the queue going back past the buses in the street. The map gives an idea of the scale of the event.

1987 and can you see the smog already?

I love you this photo, because I was born in 1987, is also very like that era, it looks great charm.

Thank you for your kind message. China is very different now. In 1987 there was still very strict state control, we were not allowed to visit freely.
