- In 1952, Zhang Ke (张苛 b. 1930) and Jin Liqin (金立勤 b. 1934) joined the Central Nationalities Song and Dance Ensemble. As part of this group, they frequently went on visiting trips to minority regions. This photograph shows a trip to a Tibetan area in 1953. The dance being performed is known in Mandarin as "Nixi social dance" (尼西情歌), also known colloquially as "Tibetan walz." This photograph was taken during the trip from Lijiang to Zhongdian.
