Selling wall calendar

Date: 1989

Location: In front of the Beijing Art Museum

Wall calendars were once all the rage across China in the 1980s. There were not many home decorations during that time, and a wall calendar could add color to the house, a good choice for a New Year gift. The pictures on the wall calendar were mostly about beauty and also painting, calligraphy or landscapes.

Now that calendars are available on mobile phones and computers, the wall calendar has almost disappeared from daily life.
