Revolutionary Chinese Youth
When I first studied about China, the images we got of the Little Red Guards were startling. Well, the images from a May 2006 punk concert in a Bejing music fest are startling to me now. Some of the little emperors (the only children) have joined a global culture. Ask your students to compare these pictures with some taken of Chinese young people in the late 1960s.The concert photos come from a photo blog called ZiBoy (begun back in 2001) by Wen Ling, an artist and photographer in Beijing. I found the Cultural Revolution photos by doing a Google image search.
