My group's propaganda is a song that portrays the themes of the Cultural Revolution very well. The lyric goes along very well with the melody. The song sounds very light and happy. The song is from a Chinese boy and a Chinese girl's perspective about Mao Ze Dong and the new China due to the Cultural Revolution.

First, the song exemplifies how much China has developed under Mao Ze Dong's rules. For an example, if you look at the lyrics, it has a phrase, "No more cultural practices All is new and modernized ....." This shows how the Four Olds, //old// ideas, //old// culture, //old// customs, and //old// habits are gone. In the beginning of the song, the boy asks the girl if she hears the factory sounds. This represents the new and advancing China.The song also shows how much Mao Ze Dong was adored and respected by his citizens. Also, how much the people of China have literally praised Mao Ze Dong which propagandizes Mao Ze Dong's greatness is shown. The chorus is about how amazing and lucky the Chinese are to be living in China and to be communists. This propagandizes how great of a place China is and how great the fact that they are communists is.
