This photo was taken in the city of Nanning by Robert Daboss, in which this billboard shows Chairman Mao, Deng Xiaopin and Jiang Zeming looking at the modernization efforts underway.

这张南宁的图片是Robert Daboss在南宁拍的,照片里的政治宣传牌描绘了毛泽东,邓小平和江泽民三代领导人展望中国的现代化发展的画面.

“Let’s strive together to revitalize Nanning”, the poster board reads

牌子上写着:”团结奋斗,振兴南宁”.

In China, tremendous progress has been made in reform, opening up and modernization, which was intiated by Deng Xiaoping over the past two decades.

在过去的二十多年里,在邓小平的指引下,中国的改革开放和现代化建设取得了卓著的进步.

Beneath the board, a sanitary worker is also on camera, watering the plants for use in improving Nanning’s urban landscapes.

在牌子下面,我们可以看到一个环卫工人了正在为城市的绿化植物浇水

While many of the National leaders in China have made a deep and lasting difference in the life of Chinese people, ordinary people like him are also performing their service to make China a better place.

很多中国的国家领导人为改善人民生活作出了很大的贡献,而像这位环卫工人一样的普通人民也正在为祖国的建设奉献自己的一份力量

A couple of days ago my girlfriend HuaDi went to He Yuan city, China on a business trip, where she witnessed the first hand beauty of this marvelous fountain known as the biggest one in Aisa. The height of this gorgeous fountain is 169 meters, or 554 feet tall. The giant tall fountain is located in Xinfengjiang forest park in He Yuan.

几天前我的女朋友华Di去了中国的梅州市出差,在那里她看到河源亚洲第一高的喷泉.这座美丽的喷泉169米高,也就是554英寸.喷泉坐落于河源的新丰江森林公园

See the magnificent fountain below

看看下面这座宏伟的的喷泉的图

To get a better view of the fountain, refer to this video I found on Metacafe

想看清楚点的话,下面我找到个在Metacafe的视频,也是这个喷泉的.

An update for new readers and a reminder for long-time fans: we regularly publish photos from our readers and group members who want to show others the interesting, curious, creepy, unusual, mysterious, elegant, odd, lovely, frumpy, and otherwise fantastic China that they have found from behind the lens. We publish work from beginners to veterans of photography, and our only requirements are that you only send us photos you have taken.

Some examples:

These first photos come from the China Photo Contest group on Facebook and were posted by Robert DaBoss.

These next photos come from our Facebook group A Million People Who Love China and were posted by Elisabeth Rowley Mitchell.

To see your photos here, post your photos first on the Blog of Dreams’ associated groups on Facebook: China Photo Contest and A Million People Who Love China. We will feature weekly photos on the blog from each group and from any part of China and its autonomous regions. Stories, anecdotes, notes about context, and information about the location where the photo was taken are more than welcome.

All money raised as a result of views of these photos and click-throughs on ads for these sites go directly to the Library Project and the Library Project Earthquake Relief Fund, a China charity now leading a campaign focused on helping to rebuild libraries and schools.

Here are three more photos from our friends at the China Photo Contest:
