We were visiting Military Museum in Beijing. It was Daddy's idea. Anette was together with Daddy to see what he is interested in. I brought Anja along with me. There was a military art exhibition so I had some thing to see. Unfortunately, it was a not nice one for me though. Maybe I am biased to the word " Military".
The museum was built in 50's . It is an architecture in the style of former Soviet Union. The scale and volume of space is huge, the lighting is tremendous, the materials which are used are spectacular. ...It is so interesting to experience these Communist Architectures coming back to China. The years of living in a capitalist country have given me some new perspective to look at the things which I was grown up with in China. ...not easy to articulate though.
The lady with 3 children in the painting is Mao's first wife. She was killed in the Civil war during 30's.
