  • Compare the condition of the Great Wall of China as it appears in its ruinous state in this film with its repaired and renovated appearance in "Great Wall" from videocarter on Youtube.

  • Who made this original film?

  • that is the difference between a socialist dictatorship and a capitalist dictatorship, one kills millions of people and build tanks, the other sells millions of t-shirts and build... better tanks. ; )

  • interesting and rare. Good track for the period.

  • thats was beautiful and graceful, china is so modern, ugly and soulless now.

  • my father hated culture revolution, he had to wait 3 years before going to university.

  • well westerners just want to put us inside some museum and marvel at us like relics. Chinese need to give ourselves a vision to move forward. So, Jiangqin was right!

  • No, they are from 1972.

  • Look a lot like North Korea today.

  • I believe that there is some contemporary footage mixed in with the 1972 footage. Note the colorful Western clothing worn by the group of men walking in a line in the beginning, for example.
