almost look like a "red guard"

From 0ctober revolution



October 1st is China's National Day. In 1949 on this day, Chairman Mao declared that "from this day on, the Chinese people are no long on their knees.' ( The Chinese People have stood up now." something to that effect). In 1966, when I was 14, I was a red guard. that was 42 years ago. I looked something like this as a red guard. I don't have my red band on my arm now, but I have the army look cap on and I am in braids. However at that time, wearing sun glasses was "politically suicidal", a no-no, an anti-communist party, anti-socialism act. Now see how much we have advanced towards a universal look. Add a comment
