EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by REUTERS photographer Claro Cortes IV, we witness a group of Chinese cyclists pedaling past the historic site of the first National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in Shanghai. The image was taken on June 30,2003, just one day before China's celebration of the 82nd anniversary of the CPC on July 1. The photograph beautifully juxtaposes tradition and progress as it showcases Shanghai, once known as the birthplace of the Communist Party in 1921, now transformed into China's bustling financial capital. The cyclists' presence adds a touch of dynamism to this historical setting, symbolizing both continuity and change. As we gaze at this remarkable scene frozen in time, we are reminded that history shapes our present reality. The significance behind this location resonates with political ideologies that have shaped modern-day China. It serves as a reminder that even amidst rapid economic development and globalization, elements from its revolutionary past continue to influence contemporary society. This powerful image is a testament to Reuters' commitment to capturing significant moments worldwide. With no rights clearances or permissions required for its use, it stands as an enduring visual representation not only for historical documentation but also for reflection upon how far societies can evolve while still acknowledging their roots.
