With his smooth, warm, red face which radiated light in all directions, Chairman Mao Zedong was a fixture in Chinese propaganda posters produced between the birth of the People's Republic in 1949 & the early 1980s. These infamous posters were, in turn, central fixtures in Chinese homes, railway stations, schools, journals, magazines, & just about anywhere else where people were likely to see them. Chairman Mao, portrayed as a stoic superhero (a.k.a. the Great Teacher, the Great Leader, the Great Helmsman, the Supreme Commander), appeared in all kinds of situations (inspecting factories, smoking a cigarette with peasant workers, standing by the Yangzi River in a bathrobe, presiding over the bow of a ship, or floating over a sea of red flags), flanked by strong, healthy, ageless men & masculinized women & children wearing baggy, sexless, drab clothing. ...

The goal of each poster was to show the Chinese people what sort of behavior was considered morally correct & how great the future of Communist China would be if everyone followed the same path toward utopia by uniting together. This book brings together a selection of colorful propaganda artworks & cultural artifacts from photographer Michael Wolf`s vast collection of Chinese propaganda posters, many of which are now extremely rare. ...

During the Cultural Revolution, Jan Wong studied in Beijing & reported a fellow student to the authorities. In 2005, she returned to China to find out what happened to the woman she betrayed. ” Chinese Whispers” tells her remarkable story. In 1972, Jan Wong became one of only two Westerners admitted to Beijing University at the height of the Cultural Revolution. One day, a student, Yin Luoyi, sought Jan`s assistance in going to the United States. Wong, then a starry-eyed Maoist from Montreal, was that most dangerous combination in the young
- ignorant, innocent & idealistic
- & she reported Yin to the authorities. Wong knew nothing of what ensued. Indeed, she completely forgot about her brief encounter with the young stranger until many years later. Now, thirty-three years on, Wong returns to Beijing to search for the woman who has haunted her conscience. She hopes to apologise, perhaps somehow to make amends. At the very least, she wants to find out whether Yin has survived. Preoccupied by the past, fascinated by China`s present & future, Jan Wong searches out old friends, foes & comrades in this half-familiar city, finally uncovering the truth about the woman she wronged. ” Chinese Whispers” tells a unique & unforgettable story of communism & capitalism, of guilt & atonement, of remembering & forgetting.
