China of Yesteryear

[shuttler]

hate these times, it represents a time that shouldn't exist. Never look back, already came too far to look back.

you may have your take

but I am just spellbound by the compelling artistry and painting skills of some of the greatest Chinese oil painters and we have so many artists of supreme picture drawing skills!

George Michael's (Wham) music video - Freedom captured China's street scenes (Beijing) in the 80's. Now if you go to websites like skyscrapercity you will see the tremendous advancement the Chinese achieved in 25 years.
