BEIJING, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) — China's national news agency, Xinhua, on Thursday opened a photo exhibition documenting the historic transformation of the country over the past decades.

The exhibition opened at the National Financial Information Center in Beijing just days before Oct. 1, when the People's Republic of China marks its 75th founding anniversary.

On display are nearly 500 photographs spanning various historical periods, selected from Xinhua's collection of over 10 million images, the largest photo archive in the country.

From "keeping warm" to "looking good" and "being fashionable", clothing trends in China indicate the rising living standards for Chinese people. Join us to take a glimpse at the evolution of everyday clothing among Chinese people over the past decades through a selection of photos from the exhibition.
