Card Image

[Beverly Nettles]

I did a Google search and topic search, yet I was not able to find the image on the card I choose.  However I gathered some information on the possible meaning of the image.  The image on my card  shows a Chinese girl holding a sign written in Chinese, and on her upper arm is an inscription also written in Chinese.  The background images depicts a group of people possibly peasants, protesting, with their arm, baskets, and blankets raised.  Thus, I think they are making a statement for change, better treatment for all people.  It’s a revolution- the people want change from the socialist government. Thus, propaganda is a means in which they’re able to get the word out.

In the year of 1978, a young man and a woman got to this so-called "perfect age" to have a family together. However, they were visited from a local government agency who came to persuade them to postponed their marriage.

Man: Look, we are promoting late marriage and family planning for younger generation. The entire country is now going through the most important and toughest time ever. Imagine that you guys get married and have kids now? You will lose your focus and energy to work. Remember how difficult we are now? We need everyone’s efforts and dedication to build the country and make it stronger. The more kids we have, the more burden we are adding on to our country. We have the responsibilities to improve the quality of our life together by improving the economy of this country. The more collaborative benefits we can produce, the better personal life we will have. The country will appreciate your sacrifice!

The couple: We agree. Let’s put our personal feelings aside first and devote to the development of the country.
