EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Chinese soldier on the streets of Peking in 1969. The soldier stands tall, exuding strength and determination as he gazes into the distance. Dressed in his military uniform, complete with a hat adorned with religious accessories, he represents both the armed forces and military life of China during that era. The soldier's attire reflects not only his vocation but also offers insight into fashion and clothing trends of the time. His traditional Chinese hat adds an element of cultural significance to his overall appearance, emphasizing his connection to his homeland. Through this portrait, we catch a glimpse into China's history as one of the world's most populous nations. The street scene surrounding him provides a view into everyday life in Peking (now Beijing), showcasing glimpses of ordinary citizens going about their daily routines. This photograph by Quilici, Folco serves as more than just an image frozen in time; it is a testament to the resilience and spirit exhibited by individuals like this Chinese soldier. It invites us to reflect on themes such as national identity, anthropology, ethnography, folklore - all within the context of contemporary history. As we observe this powerful snapshot from 1969 China, we are reminded that behind every population lies stories waiting to be told. This print encapsulates not only a moment captured through Quilici's lens but also speaks volumes about humanity's shared experiences across different cultures and territories throughout history.
