BEIJING: Chinese workers raise their fists beside a red communist flag in a painting displayed at a Beijing museum, one of nearly 200 works put together for a propaganda exhibition that hails, not the Maoist past, but the"heroic deeds" of frontline medics fighting the COVID-19.

The National Museum of China's"Unity of Strength" showcases paintings, sculptures and calligraphy, all faithful to the socialist realism style, that depict what the regime says is its success in responding to the crisis. Among the large canvases on display, a painting shows an ecstatic nurse reading a letter from President Xi to her colleagues.In the middle of the room, life-size sculptures of soldiers disembark from a plane to come to the aid of stricken inhabitants, with their uniforms evoking a scene from the Long March - a military episode by the Red Army in the 1930s during China's civil war.
