A worker teaches three youths to use surveying instruments. In the background a group of young people marches carrying tools for surveying. "Open-door schooling" was a Cultural Revolution campaign to let students learn skills in practice, from workers, less from books.
The sign on the construction site in the background reads "In industry, learn from Daqing" (工业学大庆).
