BEIJING, May 23 (Xinhua) -- The Cathay Bookshop has contributed to the revolutionary theme of this year's Beijing Book Fair by exhibiting 100 antique movie posters and 100 pocket-sized picture-story books created between the 1950s and the 1970s.
The objects on display tell stories from the Communist Party of China (CPC) since its founding in 1921, including some tales that have been familiar to several generations, such as "Tunnel Warfare," "The White-Haired Girl" and "The Red Detachment of Women."
The unique visual show immediately became a hit at the book fair, luring nearly 10,000 visitors on the first weekend, said Zhang Xiaodong, general manager of the bookstore chain.
