This print depicts the film brigade that is responsible
for distributing propaganda films around the commune, an activity often
undertaken by urban intellectual youth that were “sent down” to
the countryside to live and work with the peasants. The architectural
style is typical of the northern Shaanxi yaodong (cave home) that peasants
lived in and the young man’s white headdress indicates that he
is a local peasant while the two young girls wear more modern clothes
typical of the urban youth sent to the countryside. |
