In 1991, to express his great joy at the CPC 70th anniversary, Zhao Puchu highly commended the CPC's achievement in guiding Chinese people "out of the 5,000-year-long 'iron siege' to open up a new horizon for China". This work, written by Zhao at the age of eighty-five, is one of his best works in later years. In this scroll, the uninterrupted flow and rhythm of calligraphy is manifested in speedy, deft brushwork.
