Love of Party

Love of Party

We found the Chinese people warm, generous, extremely friendly and, above all, human. In the revolutionary, and tumultuous city of Shanghai, young couples strolled arm-in-arm and hand-in-hand along the river-bank to a serenade of "The East Is Red," the familiar strains of which could be heard from the [unclear: omnipres] loudspeakers. Even the [unclear: cl] chimes in Shanghai played [unclear: pr] verse of this revolutionary [unclear: fo] song—one line for every [unclear: ter] hour.

"The affection of [unclear: moth] and father is little [unclear: compa] to the love of the Party." [unclear: er] goes the title of another [unclear: we] known song.

One is not conscious of [unclear: th] family unit in China. [unclear: Ba] ally a selfish and i[unclear: nwa] looking concept, family life [unclear: fo] we know it has no [unclear: gnat] in the New China. The [unclear: ch] ren, however, are loved [unclear: a] lovable—adequately clothed [unclear: i] bulky, padded jackets [unclear: (bo] sexes alike) and clearly [unclear: fed] and happy. The [unclear: m] and poverty of many of [unclear: U] inhabitants of Hong [unclear: K] made an unhappy [unclear: com] for that classic [unclear: capi] society.
