Historical photographs of China from Thomas H. Have students do a photo spread themselves where they identify a specific social place e. They should keep a log detailing why they chose this particular place, how they expect the social interactions will unfold, and then present their photo documentation of what actually took place. Did their documentary photo shoot conform to their expectations or did it reveal unexpected results? What photos were most meaningful to them and why?
Stanford University Press, Teach China is a comprehensive professional development program offered by China Institute to provide a wealth of opportunities for K educators to enhance their knowledge of China, past and present. We take an interdisciplinary approach consistent with national and state-mandated standards in order to help educators incorporate the teaching of China into all subjects and grade levels, including Mandarin language learning, the humanities, social studies, and the arts.

The frankness of such images is often startling. They date from the present back to the Cultural Revolution. There are even pictures of urban cadres undergoing "retraining" in the countryside. The exhibition is organised loosely around four very broad themes: Existence, Relationship, Desire and Time.
Existence can be pretty tough. There are the scavengers mentioned earlier and other images of people scraping a living in the face of all sorts of difficulty and hardship, of children sitting their exams in the open for lack of classrooms; or others going to school who have to cross a rope bridge over a deep river that has lost most of its footway and now consists of no more than three bare ropes.
In the summer, town dwellers go to sleep in a subway tunnel to escape the heat. Relationship includes occasional lovers, a couple gazing into the smog shrouding the skyscrapers of Shanghai, for instance, but it also ranges from relationships with nature, those sandstorm pictures, to relationships with God. An unexpected image is a woman praying in a Gothic church for her sick child, but even more unexpectedly Desire includes a group of nuns attending the funeral of a bishop. The confrontation between the glamorous painted model and the old man appropriately comes under Time and sometimes we feel that distance too.
It is like looking back to Dickens' world, or even further. One extraordinary photograph has the wordy title: In the photo a group of blind musicians are walking across a desolate landscape holding onto each other in line exactly as in Brueghel's picture. It is the same scene, but lived, not imagined. There are people in huge crowds peacefully watching some spectacle, or pushing frantically for jobs, or for lottery tickets and bicycles pouring through a wide street like the Yangtse in flood.
You get a sense of the scale of China from such images, but from the whole exhibition, too, you see in all the Dickensian imagery how it is a place in dramatic transition with the apparently timeless and unchanged knocking up against the ultramodern.
