22. Chinese College Students Show Support for War

Chinese college students show their support for the People's Liberation Army (PLA). Remember that the People's Republic of China had been just declared by Mao Zedong just a few months before in October 1, 1949. China has been united as a new Republic for only eight months and now faced a foreign country in a war in Korea. Naturally, nationalism has been raised to a high level.
