Mao poster for Class 2/2

This photo came from http://kaladarshan.arts.ohio-state.edu/exhib/poster/PictPow2.html website.  I think that this poster encompasses the belief behind the cultural revolution.  Mao is in the forefront of this photo and looks very approving of the progress of the peasant farmers.  He is working alongside the peasant farmers as well showing that he believes that they are essential to the progress of the revolution.  However, this photo makes it appear that Mao spends a lot of time going into the countryside meeting with revolutionaries.  As we learned in class the other day, most revolutionaries never saw or heard Mao speak.  In addition, the poster shows the progress of the Cultural Revolution, because in the background there are, what appears to be, tractors which would mechanize the countryside.
