The prestigious China Daily has published another masterpiece, this time a photo essay of sorts that really captures the harmonious party atmosphere of the Party Congress. These are scenes from around the country featuring people from all walks of life (bonus favorite phrase of the Chinese English-language press!), all intently, joyfully and dutifully watching their government in action. Cue the minorities in minority dress, students, seniors, consumers and happy families.

I wish this was how my fellow commuters looked while the party was televised on the bus.
