The "Gang of Four" (Jiang Qing, Zhang Chunqiao, Yao Wenyuan,  and Wang Hongwen) presented in a political satire cartoon. These four people rose to power during the Cultural Revolution and dominated Chinese politics during the early 1970s. They were arrested and condemned shortly after Mao’s death in September 1976, effectively ending the Cultural Revolution. Good condition. The Cultural Revolution which took place between circa1966 and 1976 was a social/ political movement. Mao Tse Tung, then Chairman of the ruling Communist Party started this movement to reinforce strict communist dogma. Capitalism and traditional Chinese culture were to be obliterated. Big-character art and handbills were used to denounce people as opponents of the Revolution. Red Guards (pupils and students who swear loyalty to Mao and his Little Red Book) destroy anything that is branded 'old' and eliminate people considered 'rightists'. The handbills and art also were part of the campaign to respond to particular issues as they arose locally or nationally. The Cultural Revolution plunges China into turmoil and internal strife; the country is in chaos, but the posters only show enthusiasm.
