"High Ranking Cadre and Daughter" 1977
gouache on paper, 15 7/8" x 13 1/2"

Parents were reluctant to have their children “sent down” to the countryside to be rusticated and this senior military cadre was setting an example by sending his own daughter. The red plaque on the wall indicates that this is an important historic site, probably one of Mao’s Yan’an residences.
