Large colour poster of patriotic children standing proudly to the right of a medal, text in simplified Chinese characters, 74.7 x 52.5cm. Good copy.

This print, from a highly symbolic painting done in a modern impressionist style by 张长清 Zhang Changqing, would have been a wall poster for use in upper primary classrooms, with the aim of encouraging children to strive to be heroes and to achieve. Behind the children is an image of the 1986 Laoshan Hero Commemorative Medal 八一金星配三色绶带 . The girl is holding a text or notebook with the words Laoshan on the cover, symbolising sacrifice, bravery and usually that the bearer had somehow contributed to the Laoshan war effort, but in this case possibly a textbook about Laoshan and the need to learn from the heroes of that military campaign.
