The image displays a vertically oriented rectangular display board, likely from an exhibition or museum in Dali, China. The board features a textured, faded yellow background, resembling aged paper, enclosed within a reddish-brown frame. The central subject is a lengthy poem or verse printed in black Chinese characters. The text begins by commemorating individuals who sacrificed their lives "this day last year," likening their deaths to blooming red flowers for the happiness of the working masses. It describes their suffering, including being tortured and abused, and criticizes the "brutal warlords" who crushed their aspirations. The poem expresses a firm belief that despite the oppressors' perceived victory over Communist Party leaders, the spirit of the fallen comrades lives on among the working people. It concludes with a hopeful prediction that the "sickle and hammer red flag" will soon flutter over their graves, and the "Internationale" will resonate around them. The poem is attributed at the bottom right as "(Elegy by Wang Desan for Zhao Qinxian, Chen Zuwu and others)." Above this main board, a smaller, partially visible display board is present, also containing Chinese text. Visible words include "age," "youth," "we," "dedicate," "let me," and "forever," suggesting a similar theme of sacrifice, youth, and enduring legacy. The overall setting appears to be an indoor space with neutral lighting.
