Under the artist's carving blade, a scene springs to life showing people's anger boiling over at a rally called to reduce farmers' rent, as they struggle against their landlords and demand that excessive rent payments they have made are returned. Some 80 years ago, when the transformation of rural China first unfolded, a woodcut artwork recorded this historic moment. Created by Gu Yuan in 1943, "Rent Reducing Rally" marks a representative work of the "Yan'an Woodcuts School." In the artwork, Gu Yuan broke new ground by blending European woodcut techniques with China's traditional woodblock prints, presenting the dawn of a new epoch while at the same time ushering in a fresh artistic style in the country's woodcuts and engravings. China Media Group's documentary series "Fine Arts in China" explores this more.
