⁂ One of the grandest Chinese Communist propaganda works commemorating the 10th anniversary of the People's Republic of China.

The work reflects the achievements of the first decade of the People's Republic of China, as well as illustrates fine arts and historical artifacts. It is a unique work, acting as a political piece and art book, at the same time. It was intended for foreign heads of state and national library collections, rather than the general public, creating a productive and happy impression of China under Mao's rule.
