Yan’an, the wartime base of the Chinese Communist Party, is here depicted with a sensitivity to both atmospheric and coloristic effects. The red-tinged Yan’an Pagoda Hill stands prominently against the sky. The gradation of ink and color tones—from deep black to pale gray to red ocher—heightens the effects of light, time, and distance. Yet, there is a deliberate attempt to convey the redness of Communism, which suggests Fu’s renewed political consciousness in response to the changing political climate.
