Description
Box 08, Slide 35 Dining hall in the underground city, Dalian. Summer, 1973. "Countering the Russian threat was the chief rationale for Beijing's thaw with the United States and the reason why the Chairman ordered the construction of a nationwide series of underground tunnel systems whose scale defied the imagination. In the basement of a hotel just off Stalin Street, Comrade Wu, the 'responsible cadre' from the Dalian civil-defense organization, pushed a small button and the floor opened up. We tramped down a long flight of stairs and entered an empty underground city built in 1970 in response to Chairman Mao's call to 'dig tunnels deep, store grain everywhere, and never seek hegemony.' The tunnel appeared fully equipped to carry on with daily existence: it held barbershops with revolving chairs, dining rooms with sets of chopsticks laid out on the tables, hospital wards, and classrooms."--Chinoy, M. (1999). In China live: People power and the television revolution (pp. 46). Rowman & Littlefield Publishers.
