Actress Gai Xiaoling with the Central Experimental Repertory Theatre is invited to a ball held in the Great Hall of the People on the New Year’s Eve of 1979. She put on a light yellow sweater for the occasion, and it was the first time she had worn high heel shoes. The ban on modern dance was lifted and people began to wear more colorful clothes rather than just black, white and grey in the 1980s. (Li Xiaobin) |
