Description
The photo was taken in Beijing. A dense crowd of shoppers navigates the aisles of a large department store or clothing market. The patrons predominantly wear heavy winter clothing, including padded coats, military-style coats, and Mao-style caps. Suspended signs indicate sections for women's and men's woolen trousers, while a banner in the background advertises a special counter where fabric can be purchased without cloth ration coupons. The ceiling features distinctive star-shaped fluorescent light fixtures. – 照片拍摄于北京。熙熙攘攘的顾客穿行在大型百货商店或服装市场的过道里。人们大多穿着厚重的冬装,包括棉被服、军便服和干部帽。悬挂的标牌指示了毛料女裤和男裤的区域,背景处的一条横幅宣传了一个免收布票的专柜。天花板上装着独特的星形荧光灯具。
