Description

This is one way of getting the news in Guangzhou (Canton), China. This picture was taken in January 1996 and later scanned. Thank you for viewing and commenting on my recent uploads and a special 'Thank you' to those that may have added some of them to their favorites, Sig....

Greetings Siegfried, THere are two thoughts that came to my mind, one is that it is the eastern walling wall, which of course it is not and then I would love to tear down the posters and reuse them for my collage work. Thank you for sharing. egmont

The wall, an institution of early Communism. It seems to have a formal style now.

I have seen pictures of this sort of thing and find it so strange but at least the population has a chance to read the papers...but I also wonder if this is real news or news made to look like news. :-) Great shot!

Immediately I was reminded of the Wailing Wall, I suppose today's news is nothing but things to cry about. Excellent street capture.

I have seen something like this before Sig, now as then I have to smile, with it being all men stood there facing the wall like that. Say no more.#;0) Roflmao. I wonder if new papers are posted every day? or could it be a weekly thing? Saves buying the local newspaper I guess. Excellent if somewhat funny capture. Bravo!!!!!

One of the first use of the wall was to seperate one from the other so that they could be better neighbors then one wrote on it and ever since then its been the place to spread the news. The wall as the place to place and find the news is ancient in application and goes beyond graffiti though it has its place too.
