Resting Warriors - A Glimpse into China's Military History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the year 1969, inside the majestic walls of the Forbidden City in Peking (Beijing), China. The image captures a group of military personnel taking a momentary respite amidst their duties, offering us a rare glimpse into the lives of soldiers during that era. Dressed in their military uniforms, these soldiers stand tall and proud within the ancient courtyards of this historic landmark. Their clothing reflects both functionality and tradition, with each soldier donning a distinctive hat or headdress that symbolizes their rank and unit affiliation. Even in repose, they exude an air of discipline and dedication. The photograph also reveals intriguing details about civilian life at that time. One soldier is seen wearing gloves while holding what appears to be a religious accessory—a testament to the diverse cultural influences within Chinese society. Another soldier casually holds a cigarette between his fingers, perhaps finding solace in its smoke after hours spent protecting his nation. As we delve deeper into this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes clear that this image represents more than just military personnel resting; it encapsulates an entire chapter of China's history. It serves as a reminder of the countless men and women who have dedicated themselves to safeguarding their country throughout generations. Through Quilici Folco's lens, we are transported not only through space but also through time—immersing ourselves in an anthropological exploration of Chinese culture during one pivotal moment in history. This print offers us an opportunity to reflect on our shared human experience across nations and territories while celebrating those who have devoted themselves to serving their homeland.
