Brightly coloured prints, portraying model behaviour or a better future have been a ubiquitous element of Chinese political culture from Imperial times to the present. This lavishly illustrated study traces the development of the style and content of the Chinese propaganda poster in the decade of reform from its traditional origins to its use as a tool for political and economic purposes.

Anchee Min was born and raised in Mao's China. A staunch party supporter, she was awarded the lead role in a film to be made by Mao's wife, Jiang Ching, but the death of Mao soon after caused the film to be cancelled. In 1984, Min emigrated to the United States and later wrote the bestselling biography Becoming Madame Mao.
Poet and fiction writer Duo Duo was born in Beijing, China in 1951 and emigrated in 1989, later settling in the Netherlands, where he became a writer in residence at the Sinological Institute of Leiden University.
