THE 90TH ANNIVERSARY
OF THE
CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY
THE SHANGHAI
CHILDREN'S PALACE
PUTS ON A SHOW, JUNE 1981
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was officially founded on July 1, 1921, and the People's Republic of China (PRC), of which the CCP is unapologetically the ruling party, is in the middle of a long celebration of the ninetieth anniversary.
With the above photograph from my first trip to China, in 1981, for comparison, I was rather amused -- or bemused -- to find this photograph of the current celebrations in the New York Times.
A photograph of the interior of the site of the First Congress of the CCP, the founding Congress, can be found here.
A photograph of the most recent Congress, the Seventeenth, in action, can be found here.
