Figure 1.--This is the village primsry school in Dazhai, a village in a mountainous area of northern China. It was taken in 1966, when the Cultural Revolution was beginning. The pupils were not wearing the characteristic clothing that is often associated with the period. Dazhai is a rural zone. Most of the children are barefoot. We wonder if that became an issue during the Cultural Revolution. We do not know what the signs in the background say. The children do not seem real happy to have their portrait taken. Put your cursor on the image to see the rest of the class.

We have very little information on individual Chinese schools. A reader has sent a image of the school in Dazhai, a small village in a mountainous area of northern China. It was taken in 1966, when the Cultural Revolution was beginning. The pupils were not wearing the characteristic clothing that is often associated with the period. Dazhai is a rural zone. You could not tell that the children were Chinese by the way they are dressed. The boys seem to be wearing varied open-collar shirts with long pants. It is not real clear what the girls are wearing. Most of the children are barefoot. We wonder if that became an issue during the Cultural Revolution.
