Thanks for the link. A moment of emotion through these great pics from one of my favorite photographers.
Some very strong, impressive and terrible photos which describe very well the still tangible atmosphere I've felt along my first trip to China in 1984, shortly after Mao's death.
The atmosphere was really like that. Black an white. Grey and sad. Almost all the people were still wearing blue or green cloth. People in the cities were like dazed, shattered, submissive...What an incredible change in just one or two decades !
