The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution was a transformative period in Chinese history, marked by intense political and social upheaval. It aimed to establish a classless society and promote the ideology of Mao Zedong, the revered leader of the Chinese Communist Party. Propaganda played a crucial role in shaping public opinion during this time. Vibrant posters adorned streets and walls, depicting scenes that celebrated the revolution's ideals. One such poster from 1970 showcases workers diligently weaving cloth for the people, symbolizing their commitment to serving society. Another striking lithograph from 1970 portrays Mao Zedong as the "glorious leader with limitless capacity. " This image exudes reverence for his leadership and highlights his unwavering dedication to advancing China's revolutionary cause. The Chinese Communist Party was hailed as the driving force behind this movement, as depicted in a powerful lithograph from 1967. It emphasizes their pivotal role at the core of progress, guiding China towards its desired future. A propaganda poster from 1967 depicts farmers engaged in spring ploughing and cultivation—a testament to their struggle for victory amidst challenging circumstances. The image serves as an inspiration for all citizens to contribute actively towards building a prosperous nation. Zhou Ruizhuang's lithograph titled "A Lifetime of Revolution" captures Chairman Mao's influence on generations through studying his works. It reflects how individuals dedicated themselves wholeheartedly to understanding Mao Zedong Thought—an essential aspect of participating in this cultural revolution. One prominent slogan that emerged during this era was "Raise High the Great Red Flag of Mao Zedong Thought. " A lithograph from 1967 encapsulates this rallying cry, urging everyone to embrace revolutionary ideals until they are fully realized. The bond between soldiers and civilians is emphasized in another colorful propaganda poster from 1970 which proclaims them as great friends akin to family members. This unity underscores collective strength and solidarity within society.
