Photos of the Cultural Revolution
Tang Desheng, a young Chinese photographer, embedded himslef in the youth movment, when the government closed all the schools and sent the students to the countryside to learn from the farmers and  to spread Chinese culture. For the ten years of the Culltural Reveolution 1966-1976, he lived among the students and  took photos of them at work, at propaganda rallies, studying and in private moments. This personal archive is quite different from the govenrment material recording the movement in that it shows an individual's reaction to the difficult circumstances and reactions of the students to their harsh life.
