For our Cultural Revolution project, we did two things: radio show and a dazibao. The radio show was a type of propaganda, where the show praised Mao and his works. Here, we talked generally about how he had contributed to the country’s education and economy. This shows the theme of how Chinese people were exposed to the exaggerated propaganda.

The second one was a Dazibao was about destroying the “Four Olds” as well as warning the anti-revolutionists, bourgeoisies, and the capitalists. On our red poster, there is a picture of a Red Guard, and scattered pieces of the four olds: the old ideas, old culture, old customs, and old habits. Showing the theme of anti-four olds, this poster shows both violence of Cultural Revolution and threatening the olds at the same time.
