Anti-spitting Campaign in China

I was watching an old PBS documentary about Communism, and was amused to see this p-r-o-paganda video (circa 1950) for an anti-spitting campaign. Here it is uploaded to YouTube:

It was an era where you had better heed the warnings of two girls in kerchiefs.

Of all the hygiene campaigns of the Mao era, this one is perhaps the one with the least amount of success.

  2. I somehow managed to misread that on the first pass as “Anti-splittism Campaign”. I wonder if that video would also have featured warnings from two little girls addressed to a grandfatherly figure.

  3. Is ist somehow possible to download or receive this video, since I have a presentation on this topic tomorrow and find it very interesting?

  5. Helpful info. Fortunate me I found your site accidentally, and I am stunned why this twist of fate didn’t happened earlier! I bookmarked it.

  6. Do you have a spam problem on this website; I also am a blogger, and I was wondering your situation; we have created some nice methods and we are looking to swap methods with others, be sure to shoot me an e-mail if interested.

  7. Hello there! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa? My site addresses a lot of the same topics as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other. If you’re interested feel free to shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Superb blog by the way!
