   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) apende | Jul 12, 2022 |  (Abstract from introduction by Jonathan D. Spence) Centre_A | Nov 27, 2020 | The collection of photos in this book is simply amazing. Although the internet has made many hard-to-find photos of the Cultural Revolution more common, it is still a challenge to find them. With the late Li Zhensheng's "Red-Color News Soldier," we have 300 photos taken from the same region, Heilongjiang. They show mass rallies, executions, the Down to the Countryside movement, Red Guards, struggle sessions, and other facets of the Cultural Revolution. These are Li's photographs when he was a photographer working for a state newspaper, where Li participated in the Cultural Revolution. Despite taking part in struggle sessions, he was eventually denounced himself, although he did not receive the harshest of punishments. We learn of this from the narrated text that introduces different sections of the book. In addition, there are very meticulous captions to help the reader make sense of what is happening. Unfortunately, the book is very awkwardly designed. The written narrations go right up to the edge of the page, making them difficult to read. The cover is an awkward vinyl. Such rare and interesting material deserves better treatment. (  ) mvblair | Aug 8, 2020 | Before each section (safe the preface, introduction and epilogue) are several pages of Li's own story, including pictures he took of himself, his coworkers and his immediately family. These pages also provide the background (both about Li and that of the photos he took) we need to look at the photographs and to understand them (if we, outsiders, can even do that).

The Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) remains one of the most catastrophic and complicated political movements of the twentieth century. Almost no visual documentation of the period exists and that which does is biased due to government control over media, arts and cultural institutions. Red-Color News Soldieris a controversial visual record of an infamous, misunderstood period of modern history that has been largely hidden from the public eye, both within China and abroad. Li Zhensheng (b.1940) - a photo journalist living in the northern Chinese province of Heilongjiang - managed, at great personal risk, to hide and preserve for decades over 20,000 stills. As a party-approved photographer for The Heilongjiang Daily , he had been granted unusual access to capture events during the Cultural Revolution. This account has remained unseen until now, except for some eight photographs that were released for publication in 1987. Red-Color News Soldierincludes over 400 photographs and a running diary of Li's experience. The images are powerful representations of the turbulent period, including photographs of unruly Red Guard rallies and relentless public denunciations and Mao's rural re-education centres, as well as portraits prominent participants in the Cultural Revolution. Jonathan Spence, Yale Professor and pre-eminient historian of modern China, presents a rigorous introduction. In it, he states: 'Li was tracking human tragedies and personal foibles with a precision that was to create an enduring legacy not only for his contemporaries but for the generations of his countrymen then unborn. As Westerners confront the multiplicity of his images, they too can come to understand something of the agonizing paradoxes that lay at the centre of this protracted human disaster.' This book excels as a volume of both compelling photography and riveting historical record. It is truly unique - in terms of both its artefactual value and its deconstruction - and indispensable for anyone interested in modern Chinese history or the powerful cultural role of photojournalism.
