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.

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.
