Note on verso: "Soviet Workers. 151. Communism and spinning wheels may not seem to be an orthodox Marxist picture. To the Chinese Reds, however, every villafe worker is an authentic member of their proletariat. This youthful wool-spinner, who is so proud of his Red-star cap that he never takes it off even at work, is 'tui-chang', or Brigade Commander of his local Young Vanguard unit in Kansu.
