They stare at it, look at each other, can't figure out what it is. They've never seen or heard of it. These are educated college students.
That was seven years ago. I don't know if that level of "education" is any better now.

Given the level of suppression of that piece of history in China, I'm not sure that it's all that surprising. What is sad, is that probably only a minority of high school graduates in this country would look at that picture and know what it was all about. Let alone the fall of the Berlin wall.
