	Frans De Wit: "It appears that the people, workers, peasants, white-collar, children and the PLA army, navy and air force will guard the Motherland from attack from the outside, like from the USA-sustained, runaway province of Formosa, better known as Taiwan. Not completely sure of that, but after seeing so many propaganda I'm quite sure..."

	Frans De Wit: "Look what Chris To sent me: a previousley unknown Cultural Revolution poster with a CJ on it! He has an extensive collection of Cultural Revolution relics on Culturegems.com and he sent me this picture of a poster he has. It is from the middle 80's he says, and has two images in one poster. It's definitely a CJ, but its perspective is quite distorted. It looks like the bike is bent around the PLA soldier, and where is the left hand cylinder? These boots were made for walking, but not for hiding motorcycle parts! (His left foot seems to have at least 6 toes, or it wouldn't fit the boot...)"

		Frans De Wit sent these two historic items. The first is a poster entitled On the Banks of Laoho River by Cheng Min-sheng. Can you spot the bikes? The other is an old photograph featuring a rare Donghai 750 sidecar motorcycle.
	Below are CJs and Dong Hai 750s from from seventies and eighties PLA Pictorials .
	Frans De Wit sent this excellent PLA poster from Maopost.com. Frans points out that although this bike is lacking hand levers, it does have a manual turn signal arrow! Check out the M72 style sidecar frame around the fender. The backdrop appears to be Shanghai.
	Also from Frans, this scene depicting an electric motor being delivered to some very happy people. The bike is nondescript but could be a Donghai 750. Would anyone care to speculate?

	Leo Struyk sent this wonderful image. Judging from the hand controls, the bike is probably a Donghai 750. It also has one of those rare and unusual turn indicators. Leo also translated the text which says Launching into military sports, protecting our socialist country.

	It's not very prominent but there is indeed a Chang in this beautiful piece of propaganda artwork sent by Frans De Wit. The car is is a Hong Qi (Red Flag) which dominated the streets 25 years ago. There's also a row of bicycles in the picture. It looks like two PLA soldiers are starting the bike. This image dates from the seventies.

	Zhou En Lai's motorcade was escorted by M72s during his 1966 visit to Romania. The car is a Russian ZiL-111G.

	Members of the Tianjin Militia. Look at the machine gunner!
	A very elaborately staged photo showing PLA Donghai 750s inside a tunnel complex. The enlarged image shows trucks, AA artillary, troops and more. Does it look familiar? If not, click here.
	PLA soldiers used Russian M72s during the Korean War as shown here.
	The Chang Jiang 750 hadn't yet been introduced when this photo was made in 1955 so these women PLA soldiers are riding on M72s. In the enlarged image you'll see four solo bikes in addition to the sidecar outfit.
	Policemen escorting people across a busy street. Their CJ is parked in the foreground.
	PLA chemical warfare specialists decontaminate their later model OHV Changs.

	October 1, 1954, PRC's fifth anniversary. These PLA chemical warfare specialists are riding M72s since the CJ is still a couple years in the future. Many CJ engines would ultimately find homes in M72 frames. The enlarged image has at least 20 bikes, all with whitewall tires!

	Look at all the Changs in this PLA photograph. I'd love to know how many CJs were acquired by the PLA.
	In the pre-CJ era image from 1957, PLA communications specialists are riding Russian bikes.
	250cc Jawa-type bikes are ideally suited for the type of use they're getting in this image.
12/17/03
	These are communications specialists from the PLA. You'll see that the PLA not only used Chang Jiangs but Dong Hai 750s as well!
	This image dates from 1957 when the PLA relied heavily on Russian equipment including M72s and Jawa-type 250cc motorcycles. These are also communications specialists.
	The Russian bikes are pretty interesting and so are the jeeps and other vehicles. Wouldn't you love to see these images in color?!

	Pierce the Vast Sky with Lofty Aspirations, 1976, Dou Shikui, Xiang Weiren & Jiang Baoxing.
	Anti-terrorism drill from the November 21 PLA Pictorial.

	A K9 unit from the Armed Police. As you can see, there's a dog riding in the bucket.

	Another great PLA propaganda painting with a CJ!
	What's that lurking over this PLA soldier's right shoulder?
	Is this fantastic or what? Chinese PLA propaganda art with two very prominent Chang Jiangs!
	Frans de Wit sent this three PLA propaganda image. The enlarged version of this picture has five CJs in it!
	In this painting, four CJs lead a group of Soviet T-59s across a river. Those bikes are really loaded down. Check out the M72-style sidecar frames. (Frans de Wit)
	This painting is terrific—and there's a CJ in it! (But you'll have to look hard to see it.) I feel compelled to enlist in the PLA. (Frans de Wit)
	Fabulous propaganda artwork with a CJ in the foreground. The passenger has a rocket launcher!
	And more propaganda. This drawing of some PLA winter operations also features a Chang.
	Another great propaganda image, however this one features a Dong Hai 750...
	...but this one has a Chang Jiang!
	Somewhere in this propaganda poster is a Chang Jiang. Can you spot it?
	A poster from the March, 1975 PLA games in Beijing. This appeared on the back page of the July, 1975 PLA Pictorial. The enlarged image shows the entire poster.
	A propaganda poster with a Dong Hai 750.
	Neat propaganda image from the PLA Pictorial, October,1970. (The enlarged view shows the entire image.)
	Great PLA propaganda image. Yep, that's a Chang!
	If you think flying the chair is exciting, how about flying the whole enchilda? This is a PLA demonstration. Check out the camouflage and whitewalls. Camo is painted right over the CJ emblem. I wonder how the bike was after the landing.
	Here PLA soldiers demonstrate how to ride while under fire.
	And here they show us how to ride while ON fire.
	PLA soldiers put on a riding exhibition. The military truck in the background has whitewalls!
	An amazing demonstration of riding ability by Chinese armed forces. That's right, they're changing the sidecar tires on the fly.
	It looks like they may be using that ramp to get the sidecar back on the ground. Look at the whitewalls!
	High speed U-turn demonstration. Those poor whitewalls...
	Here's a bonus picture for the whitewall enthusiasts. Is this great or what?
	From the September, 1971 PLA Pictorial, a group of CJs crossing water during exercises in a contaminated atmosphere.
	This is a drawing of the sidecar competition held during the March, 1975 PLA Games. It appeared in the July, 1975 PLA Pictorial.
	PLA soldiers riding off into the wild blue yonder... on Chang Jiangs, of course!
	Here's a PLA exercise from the Chinese magazine Weapons Knowledge, April, 1984. The enlarged image shows another Chang.
	From the July, 1975 PLA Pictorial, we see CJ at the March, 1975 PLA sport meeting in Beijing. Different competitions related to military training were held including sidecar competition.
	Also from the PLA Pictorial. Placing a Chang in the lower left corner was popular with Chinese photographers. You can see it in some of the other images on these pages. (Click for the whole picure.)
	These are PLA training exercises. The enlarged image shows at least 11 Changs!
	This appears to be another training exercise, but is that a Chang or is it an M72?
	The PLA on exercises. In the enlarged image you can see more Changs.
	The only other CJs that can do this are airplanes.
	Soldiers take a lunch break. Although not very obvious, there are two bikes in this image.
	From the October, 1970 Pictorial of the People, this image of Zhou En Lai with a delegation from Yemen. And look at all those Changs including at least one with whitewall tires!
	August 6, 1970, this time Premier Zhou is with a delegation from Sudan. And again, more Changs!
	North Korean soldiers riding M72s during the Korean War. I wonder if my dad met any of these guys.
	This is a camouflaged plastic Chang that was shipped to our comrades in North Korea. 30 similar bikes were shipped to Hong Kong as well.
	Chinese policewomen undergo training on Chang Jiangs.
	They even learn to fly the chair... with three people on board!
	Chinese policewomen, a modern Chang Jiang and some fancy riding for the camera.
	Chinese policemen riding one of those plastic Changs. This one is equipped with a tear gas cannon!
	The Chinese Armed Police participate in a parade aboard Chang Jiangs with painted-on whitewalls!
