Campaigns in Xuzhou 徐州 (Jiangsu): Thomas H. Hahn Docu-Images http://hahn.zenfolio.com/p782947763 The late 1960s saw many political campaigns all over the country. This small series of images depicts the campaigns as they were underway in Xuzhou 徐州, a large town in northwest Jiangsu province. From what I heard, Xuzhou was a rather embattled site during the era of the CR, with two deeply divided factions dictating proceedings. <br/><br/>These photographs are relevant in a number of ways: <br/>1. They show the public's (forced or unforced) involvement in various mass rallies. <br/>2. They provide details about the closing of a Christian church. Xuzhou in the 50s and until the church's closing was in fact the dioceses of one of China's more active bishops (by the name of Qian Yurong). <br/>3. The last photograph establishes an intriguing relationship between Mao and his followers, wherein the followers appear to worship the Chairman as a demi-god and healer of ills. This is a rather unique image which I have not seen before. <br/><br/>Scanned on an Epson 4990 at 300 DPI to TIF, converted to lossless JPG and processed for b/w rendition.<br/><br/>Note: This series is not from the same Xinhua stock as the other galleries under the same heading. <br/><br/>Thomas H.
