Zhang Guoqing was riding his bicycle to the county town. The county town was like a colorless photo, with a gray sky and muddy roads. Everywhere on the walls of the houses along the roads were large red slogans. As soon as he entered the county town, upon closer look, he saw that in the past few days many propaganda posters and large red slogans had appeared in every corner and wall of the city. Men and women of all ages wore clothes patched upon patches, while groups of twos and threes donned yellow military uniforms, yellow military caps, red armbands, yellow satchels, and liberation shoes. They carried paint buckets, sprayers, and other such items, and attached pre-cut paper templates to the walls, spraying over them.
