The text under the image: "This painting depicts an outstanding young female worker entering university. As she walks into her dormitory, her classmates warmly welcome her; some help her with her luggage, while others gaze at her with admiration, showing their respect. This illustrates that only today, in the new China led by the Communist Party, do workers enjoy such honor and have the opportunity to study at university."

The poster on the wall in the background: Dedicate your youth to the motherland (December 1954).
