Artist/Maker	Unknown

By the 1980s, China was exposed to a wider range of commercial advertising, not just the Socialist Realist styles that had so far predominated. This poster titled 'Love the People' is an example of the Chinese adoption of more adventurous design techniques: a conventional image of a woman assisting an elderly man is accompanied by a background montage of photographs.
