Chinese Cultural Revolution Photos

This image relates to Red Scarf Girl because in the book, the Red Guards destroyed temples, books, signs and anything that represent old customs, old culture, old habits and old ideas. In this picture it shows a man destroying a structure that is considered "four olds". In Red Scarf Girl the Red Guards would demolish the name of stores and a large crowd would stand in the street and cheer and when yell revolutionary comments like "long live Chairman Mao! or Long live the great proletarian revolution! . Much like the people in this picture. In Document 5, it shows a street sign on the ground being stomped on my revolutionaries because it is considered four olds. After the sign is eliminated , It will we renamed a revolutionary name like "Red Forever".
