 (1) The peasants are working to meet Mao’s quota of 10,700,000, tons of steel.



(2) Chinese organizers discuss their failure to produce enough oil to meet production quotas  In the back there is a sign attacking bourgeois rightist.







 (3) Chinese propaganda makers are putting pictures of Mao everywhere so people constantly have to see his face so that he will have more support from the people.




















(4) Communist youth tear down a buddist statue. They are tearing it down because it represents a pre-communist China, which is against the ideals of the Cultural Revolution




(5) The party produced propaganda poster denouncing the Gang of Four for attempting to steal power from the party.
