Toronto - One photograph from 1958 depicts laughing students perched on a rooftop with long sticks, swinging at the sparrows that threatened Beijing's food supplies at the time. Another image is of a militiaman with a gun balanced on a prone horse in 1965, arms and eyes steady with a grass field and cloudless sky stretching far behind him.
