This poster for the 8th National Convention of the Chinese YMCA shows an image of a train, filled with people, leaving a railway station. There is a group of people remaining at the station and most are dressed in traditional clothing, although one man is dressed in western-style clothing and is pointing at the moving train. The poster encourages people to move forward, not to be left behind. The poster has text in Chinese and there is a large YMCA logo at the top.
