"We take pleasure in presenting you with Children of China, 1956, which portrays some aspects of the life of our children during the past year - the fourth year of China's First Five-Year Plan of socialist construction. As we score new successes in economic construction, more and more nurseries, kindergartens, primary schools and children's health centers have appeared in China's cities and villages. Chinese children are enjoying a richer life, and their interests are always watched and protected both by the government and the people of all circles. Dear Friends! This pictorial brings to you our friendship across the oceans. We are sure that you will stand by us in the cause for the protection of children and defense of peace."
