Visitors in the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Museum - its sign is just visible through the window on the left. The man in the foreground is probably a Party cadre with his fountain pen and wristwatch. He has a straw hat with the characters 五七干校 - May Seven Cadre School - and takes notes standing by a display case with wicker baskets and a carrying pole. The small sign explains: 一九二八年,毛 主席挑粮上山时用过 这样的箩筐、扁担 - In 1928, Chairman Mao used such a baskets and carrying pole when he carried grain up the mountain.
