early dawn in the countryside in heilongjiang province, china, december 21, 1964
photo by li zhensheng, from red-color news soldiers
“…in a radiant dawn over farmland we see two young peasants, presented as both humble and heroic, setting off in search of manure to fertilize the fields. there are also the parades, the patriotic songs that even the children sing, the female soldiers, the posters with mao’s image…” but these pictures are paired with the images of public trials, pillory, placards with insults hung around people’s necks and capital punishment. li, with the red band of a soldier of information on his arm, took the pictures and hid them away. and twenty years later, after one of the longest development processes in the history of photojournalism, he finally printed them.
