I have not understood what these photos, though very remarkable, is aiming to convey.

Does it mean that all who graduate have to do these type of group callisthenics as they go up to get their graduation certificates?

Or are they graduating from a Physical Education and Gymnastic College and so they have to adopt these poses?

Honestly haven't understood.

the guy clearly has more interest and is not concerned at all what is happening with the female species in nearby vicinity. it is like it is normal and such behavior has been done before.



i tend look what is (reason) behind the (not normal) posing.

I like the photos too including the ones of the gymnastic poses they have to undertake to pick up the graduation degrees.

But one has to know the context.

Random photos make no sense.

Imagine some Indian film buff starts posting photos of Indian film stars and that nothing more, just photos!

You find that abnormal? Wait till you see how western teens pose (and the absolute horror they call the "duck-face," especially the YOLO-SWAG variation of it).

Being on the flight-deck of the Chinese flagship is something to cheer about :)

To indicate that China is full of happy, even if not normal, people?
Agreed.

The pride and delight from the foot soldiers that their work is being borne and the fruits are displayed in their society. the foot soldiers vanity is being flattered by the display of happy, even if not normal, people. It is consumption for these to continue to fulfill their tasks since such display in their mind identify such images with normalcy and happiness.

The western teens have their thing. Tomorrow it will be another thing. But the above is the "thing" occurring for a long time in PRC - especially North Korea.

With reference to the gymnasts above and others above are people - not sure if they are "eye candy" - but respect to them and wish them all the best in their future.

When i first had seen the pictures from the PRC aircraft carrier i thought they were from North Korea. In fact i thought the PRC photographer was taking North Korea consultancy advise. It was unnatural. The posing by the people (not sure if they were navy people) and the demonstrations and pretentiousness on the aircraft carrier and what that the people were doing was extreme. The flawless position of the smiles and unadulterated location of the individuals it was old school indoctrination (purpose) for the PRC public eyes.

The photos on the PRC Aircraft carrier of the people were probably more extreme compared to the gymnasts above.

Either-way the PRC have a Aircraft carrier. it is a big thing.

It is true that the Chinese girls, the slim ones especially, look the same to foreigners.

But, if they let you look close, you will notice the difference.

Their food chemistry encourages a slim look.

Those who wish to slim down must have real Chinese food.

Taking group photos is part of the graduation ceremony, it's like a tradition and Chinese take it seriously.

It is not mandatory, being absent wont cost you the certificate, but normally we wont miss it.

Traditionally, it's just a group of faculty members and students standing in front of the college library, therefore the photos are usually dull. But today's students add some creativity into this old tradition, making it much more interesting.

The girls in the photos are dancers.
