Cultural Revolution Poster #12 | This vintage poster had Mao’s handwriting and
one of his favorite sentences written on it. “Serve the People”, it said.
One of the most famous sentences from the red book, this “Serve the People”
poster by Mao was likely hung at a company’s receptionist area, as it was
a quite fashionable and politically correct thing to do. |

Cultural Revolution Poster #14 SOLD |
This is one of my personal favorites.
A cute young girl had her hands up, almost in a surrendering position, in
front of her a basin of water, and a little duckling. In white under the
picture the sentence read, “Before you eat and after you take a dump, you
need to wash your hands.” I could make the translation less direct, but
it would lose its meaning. This overly direct message was yet another byproduct
of Cultural Revolution, where all the subtlety were taken out and left with
nothing but bluntness. Size: 21.06” (L) by 15.16” (W) |

Cultural Revolution Poster #17 SOLD |
This post-Cultural Revolution
period poster came from a textbook insert developed by Shanghai Educational

textbook, 7th series. The author is “Sheng Dan”. On the bottom of the poster,
it reads “The little wind mill blowing. Write a text based on the scene.
In parenthesis, it stated “Basic training.” Given it was right after the
Cultural Revolution, many textbooks geared towards being politically correct
and overly rudimentary. The country was still going through shocks, and
education at the time was not a priority. Size 18.31” (L) by 14.76” (W) |

We obtained this vintage poster, but not without some serious struggle. The seller won’t sell it at first, and we couldn’t find it elsewhere. It had bunch of angry Chinese, waving various weapons, and on the bottom it said: “The people from Indo-Zhi-Na countries shall win, and American capitalism shall be defeated”. We were told that “Indo-Zhi-Na” referred to three countries in Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Cambodia and Vietnam respectively. We ended up paying for a lot more than we had budgeted for, but we really thought it was quite special and deserved a good home for its uniqueness in history. Size: 45" Long by 31" Wide (114.3 CM Long by 78.74 CM Wide) |
