This is the front page dedication (names redacted) to a fellow factory worker from 1956 in Chongqing (重庆). The diarist was a worker at the Changshou Chemical Plant (changshou huagongchang 长寿化工厂) in Chongqing, which from 1939 produced some of China’s first synthetic rubber. This diary was purchased in a junk shop in Chongqing. The author wrote from 1956 to the early 1980s, and included newspaper clippings in his diary.
