Workers, soldiers and visitors parading near the Xin'an River Dam, with the man-made Qiandao Lake reservoir in the background. They carry all kinds of contemporary slogans on the Cultural Revolution, class struggle and etc. The slogan on the hill on the right may date from the time the dam was built, around 1959: Long live the General Line, Long live the Great Leap Forward, Long live the People’s Communes (总路线万岁 大跃进万岁 人民公社万岁). A Mao statue stands in the middle of the dam. Above the image a Mao quotation, praising the Chinese people's ambition and capability. The title of the poster is taken from Mao's 1956 poem Swimming (游泳).
