The image is a black and white photograph of a group of people standing in front of a large rock formation. The rock formation appears to be a mountain or a cliff, with a steep slope and a steep cliff face. The people in the photograph are dressed in formal attire, with some wearing hats and others wearing suits. They are standing on a set of stairs leading up to the top of the mountain.

In the center of the photograph, there is a large stone pillar with Chinese characters written on it. The text on the pillar is written in both English and Chinese characters. Below the pillar, there are several smaller figures, including a man in a suit and a woman in a dress, both of whom appear to be soldiers. The image is taken from a slightly elevated angle, looking down on the group. The background is blurred, but it seems to be an open book or magazine.
