The image is a photograph of a plaque on a dark brown wall. The plaque is rectangular in shape and has Chinese characters written on it in white ink. The characters are arranged in a symmetrical pattern and appear to be carved into the wall. Below the characters, there is a text written in Chinese characters that translates to "The history of the Chinese people". The text is written in both English and Chinese characters. The background of the plaque is plain and the text is clear, making it the focal point of the image.
