A parade

For those New Mandala readers who have expressed an interest in the murals at the Dai-Jingpo cultural park in Jie Gao, just outside Ruili, Yunnan, I have now posted more examples of the artwork. Viewed in the context of the previous post, these examples may give readers a fuller basis for commenting on these interesting murals. Unfortunately, none of these new pictures were accompanied by any explanatory Dai or Chinese text.

In this post I also include a close-up of the meeting between Mao and the Chairman of the Dehong Autonomous Prefecture (Image 3) and a photograph (Image 4) supplied by New Mandala reader, Roger P. It shows Zhou Enlai in Sipsongpanna, another Dai Autonomous Prefecture in western Yunnan.

Thanks to New Mandala reader Roger P. for providing this final image of Zhou Enlai during a visit to Sipsongpanna in the 1950s.
