"Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung" contained the sayings of the communist revolutionary leader and used red - the colour of the revolution - for its cover. It was, therefore, also called the "Little Red Book". The picture shows the standard props for photo shoots during the Cultural Revolution: the "Little Red Book" and badges featuring a portrait of Mao Zedong. The photo, taken by Bu Pingyuan, is provided by Guangzhou Integrated Image Co Ltd.   Close
