EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph titled "Shanghai. Kindergartners practice gymnastics at the sound of music" captured by renowned photographer Quilici, Folco in 1977, we are transported to a moment frozen in time. The image takes us to Shanghai, China, where a group of enthusiastic kindergartners is engaged in their gymnastic practice. The composition beautifully captures the energy and gracefulness of these young children as they move synchronously to the rhythm of music. Their tiny bodies contort and twist with determination, showcasing their agility and flexibility even at such a tender age. Each child seems fully immersed in their routine, displaying an unwavering focus that belies their youth. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into the early stages of physical education for these Chinese youngsters during an era when China was undergoing significant social changes. It serves as a testament to the importance placed on nurturing both physical fitness and discipline from an early age. Quilici's choice to present this scene in black and white adds depth and nostalgia to the image. The absence of color allows us to focus solely on the subjects themselves - their expressions filled with determination or perhaps joy - while also emphasizing the timeless nature of childhood innocence. As we observe this photograph today, over four decades later, it stands as a reminder not only of how much has changed but also how some aspects endure through generations. These kindergartners' dedication towards honing their skills echoes countless other children around the world who continue to embrace sports as part of their development. "Shanghai. Kindergartners practice gymnastics at the sound of music" is more than just a picture; it encapsulates resilience, discipline, and youthful exuberance that transcends cultural boundaries – reminding us all that passion knows no age limit nor geographical borders.
