Never before seen Tiananmen Square photos found in shoebox

Superb! And superb effort. I applaud this. Having done a small bit in the past to help liberate Russia and overthrow the Soviet Union.

Also this reminds me that I saw a film this weekend called Wolf Totem. I recommend it.

The China Girls

It was a black film canister, rattling around the bottom of an old Naturalizer shoebox labeled “photos.” I opened it, wondering if it was a roll of unused film. Instead, I found a twist of white tissue paper wrapped around tightly rolled black-and-white negatives. I held them up to the light. At first I saw…legs.

Tiananmen legs

Then, people with bicycles.

Tiananmen bicycle people

Next, a white form rising above a crowd, holding…a torch?

Oh man, is this what I think it is?
