Title	Shanghai (China), soldier of the People's Liberation Army after Shanghai came under control of the Communist Party of China during the Civil War of 1949
Part of Set	Harrison Forman Collection - China - 1949
Date of Photograph	ca. 1949
Photographer's Note	1. This is not a 'Red' or Communist soldier or so the Reds would have the world believe; for now they call themselves the People's Liberation Army. This poster with the hammer and sickle before which this Red soldier stands is there by oversight and has not been removed in accordance with the new propaganda line that is trying to make pinkos of the Reds. The faces in the Red Star on the wall are those of Mao Tze-tung, Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, and of General Chu Teh, Commander-in-Chief of the People's Liberation Army. This was the only poster of its kind found in Shanghai. The Reds Fade to Pink in Shanghai. Forman 2451
