Our group did two big projects. We had a radio podcast and a poster. The radio podcast was basically praising the achievements of Mao that the radio might have potentially told the Chinese through radio or television and other medias. The podcast was a short interview of a Chinese and his thoughts and observations of Mao's work for the people. To what extend was this information true, no Chinese actually knew. The setting of the radio was Mao's birthday and we gave emphasis on the sacrifice for the Chinese. Then we included a short advertisement of the Little Red Book of Mao. The selling of the Little Red Book was presumably announced daily or at least frequently to make everyone remember about it.

The second propaganda product that we came up was a Zaibatsu. It was a propaganda poster to diminish the four olds. We tried to portray the main ideas and the possible strong words that the Chinese government would have produced during the Cultural Revolution. Our poster shows the breaking apart of the four olds with a strong male figure that would initate many people to adapt to the orders of destroying the four olds.
