Features: This is a rare book in the history of Chinese publishing, and it is also a previously unseen history of the People's Republic. Half a century of memories of the Republic, hard to describe in one stroke, yet every stroke captures it; three generations of memories of the common people, passed down from generation to generation. On a series of rarely known photographs, the wind and sunshine, the thunder and lightning of the 50 years of the Republic leap. From the 28 thunderous salutes that shocked the world at the founding ceremony to the thunderous applause at the Great Hall of the People at the turn of the century, every step of the Republic's 50 years has resounded like a symphony in the chapters of "The Republic Album." There are the fiery battles of the Korean War; there are the triumphant march of construction; there are the dreamlike and poetic scenes of daily life; and there is also the chilling nightmare of the Cultural Revolution.
