"Fifty Glorious Years 1949-1999" (光辉的五十年1949-1999), designed by the Museum of the Chinese Revolution (中国革命博物馆) and published by the Zhongguo funü chubanshe (中国妇女出版社) and the Zhongguo dabaike quanshu chubanshe (中国大百科全书出版社) in 1999, is a series of 20 posters devoted to the period 1949-1999.

The developments that occurred after the adoption of Deng Xiaoping's strategy of Reform and Opening Up (改革开放) in 1978 receive more attention than the events preceding 1978. In that sense, the series celebrates the successes of Deng's actions. Jiang Zemin, Deng's successor, takes the credit for these successes as well.

The title reads "13. A new chapter in environmental protection" (13. 环境保护谱新篇).

The text reads "Our government attaches great importance to environmental protection, and has achieved remarkable results in accelerating the treatment of old pollution and strictly controlling new pollution, improving river water quality, and strengthening regional environmental governance. Significant results have also been achieved in maintaining ecological balance, protecting and rationally developing natural resources. Environmental protection policies are continuously improved, investment in environmental protection continues to increase, environmental protection law enforcement is strictly enforced, supervision and management are strengthened, publicity and education are strengthened, and environmental protection awareness of the whole people is provided. Let all of us start from now, start from ourselves, and work hard to have a beautiful living environment!" (我国政府十分重视环境保护工作,无论是在加快治理老污染,严格控制新污染方面,还是在江河水质改善,加强区域环境治理方面,都取得了显著的成绩。在维护生态平衡,保护和合理开发自然资源方面,也取得了明显的成效。环保政策不断完善,环保投入不断增加,严格环保执法,强化监督管理,加强宣传教育,提供了全人民环保意识。让我们所有的人,从现在做起,从自己做起,为拥有一个优美的生存环境而努力!).
