"Red Newspaper Soldier" is a collection of works by Chinese photographer Li Zhensheng. The subtitle is ``A Chinese photographer's wanderings around the Cultural Revolution.'' A political struggle that lasted from 1966 to 1976-77. There was a journalist who secretly kept valuable records of those times. His name is Lee Zhensheng. Li Zhensheng, who worked for the Communist Party's official newspaper Heilongjiang Daily for nearly 20 years, secretly left behind numerous documentary photographs that the Communist Party would not approve of. Even when his house was searched, he managed to keep it a secret, and continued his secret efforts even after becoming head of the photography department. In 2004, nearly 40 years later, he published a photo book, ``Red Newspaper Soldier,'' based on the negatives he had stored. In 2006, NHK aired a documentary called ``Testimony on the 40th Anniversary of the Cultural Revolution,'' which became a hot topic of conversation. This book is the Japanese version published in 2005.
