Features: This is a precious historical archive, with the majority of the photographs being unseen before. It presents one of the most thrilling legends in modern Chinese history—the story of women's liberation in China. On this long, winding road intertwined with blood, fire, emotions, and grievances, our story's protagonists have forged ahead, becoming pioneers on this path. Perhaps they spoke without debate, or their voices were unheard, through countless years of earth-shaking changes, and the rise and fall of flowers, they never thought of telling their own stories. On them, there lies a virtue as rare as it gets in contemporary times: that is, the motherly simplicity and humility. No matter how earth-shattering their achievements, sensationalism was deemed base for this generation, and self-promotion and personal glorification were things they abhorred, for they were revolutionaries who believed in "When all goes well under Heaven, all things are in their right places."
