Tourists on the balcony of Tian'anmen Gate, having fun and taking pictures. The young man's camera is a Japanese Fuji, on the woman's shoulder bag is the slogan "study hard", in English. They may be Japanese or 'overseas Chinese'. This poster was published in the month the peaceful People's Movement on Tian'anmen Square was crushed by the authorities, at the cost of perhaps 2,600 lives.
