The image originates from a photograph capturing daily life in China in the early 1960s. It depicts a group of middle school students wearing willow twigs on their heads, dressed as soldiers, performing a show on the school playground. They are the generation of teenagers who grew up alongside with the establishment of the People's Republic of China.
