Heart to Heart Tie

A vintage Chinese propaganda poster set against a soft, overcast sky, depicting two young female archers practicing together behind a dense arrangement of vibrant pink and red azalea blossoms. The woman in the foreground on the left wears a bright yellow long-sleeved athletic shirt emblazoned with the Chinese characters for “Taiwan,” paired with dark blue shorts, while holding an arrow pulled back on her bowstring.

Standing closely behind her, a second woman in a red-and-white sports jacket with the characters for “Beijing” points forward with her left hand, gently guiding and coaching her stance. A large, modern green mechanical archery bow is held prominently on the right. Printed cleanly along the lower white border is the crimson title of the poster.
