The poster's central theme revolves around mechanisation and progress in China's transport industry. The image portrays a group of workers engaging with new machinery that symbolizes modernization and efficiency. A prominent feature is a powerful hydraulic system lifting heavy loads effortlessly, while in the background, a fork lift truck stands ready to assist. These machines represent tools that will propel China towards its communist ideals.
