Chinese Propaganda

I suppose posting this in early of march. The inspiration for me doing these because I feel we as chinese should know well ourselves. In fact, back into few weeks ago, I was walking around in BB plaza the time waiting for friends came along, I saw an arts bookshop over there, so I just stepped into it and taken half hours of time perused some of books there. In the end, I figure out a book something like these, I felt it was pretty much motif and old time how does really people work from. If we try to compare what with us doing now, I can surely tell that we are nothing much, just far away compare with them had done.

The most famous form of Chinese communist art are the various propaganda posters, created from the founding of the Peoples Republic of China in 1949 to nowadays. The 50's and 60's, and especially the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution were the most active periods in terms of quantity and inventivity. The favourite topics were economic success, adoration of Chairman Mao and other communist stars, friendship with the USSR (before the divorce of course), anti-imperialist fight, Taiwan liberation, the people's happiness and the power of Chinese army. Chinese markets are full of such posters, most of them being original ones. They are available at quite a fair price. Usually, it costs between 10 and 100 yuans (1 and 10 euros) for the most common posters. Rare ones may reach extremely high prices. As I am not a real collector, I can just provide you with a small quantity of such posters. However, they are quite representative of the production at this time

Let us follow closely Chairman Mao in the storm

Let's bravely go forward, following the revolutionary career of Chairman Mao

Strengthen the attention to defend the Motherland

All the reactionary gangs are paper tigers

United, we fight for a greater victory

Edification of the great Chinese Peoples Air Force

Chairman Mao is the red sun of our hearts

Let's accomplish with determination the glorious tasks of the year 1953

Let's fight to develop patriotism and increase the production, let's build a rich and powerful new China

Peace, happiness, wealth, strength

Unite, Peoples from the whole world! Down with American imperialism! Down with Soviet revisionnism! Down with reactionary gangs from all countries!

A huge field where it is possible to perform great accomplishments

Support the Constitution, protect the Constitution

Relying on Mao Zedong thought, making the Revolution

Read Chairman Mao's works, listen Chairman Mao's words, Obey to Chairman Mao's orders

The whole Party takes over the military affairs and practices the militarization of the whole People

Although we have seen nowadays China has been growing larger in their economic view, peoples living of standard changed into more wealthy, 2008 Olympic organized ideally, the revolution well known as triumphantly, the rich turns richest, but how about the lost one? There are still lacking behind of the world if we do really care about.

"我们偷懒晒太阳
我们周末疯狂SHOPPING
我们糟蹋米饭
我们吃肯德基麦当劳
我们玩过山车海盗船
我们追星捧族
我们追逐时尚
我们装扮非主流
我们耍帅扮酷
我们泡妞吊凯子
我们夜夜笙歌
他们吃顿饱饭便是奢侈
他们寄封信便需要徒步几公里的山路
他们整年见不着自己的爹娘因为他们都常年外出打工
他们鲜少喝到甘甜的水
他们不知道城市里的高楼大厦
他们不知晓城市里的小脚裤唇环脐环所谓何物
他们同样不知晓外面世界的灯红酒绿纸醉金迷
他们渴求读书却买不起一支铅笔
他们羞涩的接受各地所谓善人的采访 期待所有的一切会因他们而有所转机
我们同情我们流泪
我们象征性的捐款 所谓的政府部门 在镜头前肆意宣扬
他们的深切关怀 赠书包赠书本 手拉手肩并肩
平静之后
他们照常走几个小时的山路去上学 照常吃难以下咽的饭菜 照常用树枝在地上写字 照常在寒冷的冬季生冻疮 照常拖着小小的身躯劈柴 照常仰望远方想念他们的爹"

At here. We can clearly know that they are actually more need the helps from us, the regard here we can clearly know, we should really save, contribute, morality for those who unfortunate peoples here.

不要吝啬我们那残存的一点爱心，因为他们的确太需要了。

-中国人一つとき、僕たちずっと勝ってですよ-

(As chinese united, we are undefeated)
