Features: In 1967, the mountainous county in the Loess Plateau of northwest China, like any other place in the country, was shaken by the storm of the Cultural Revolution. The walls in towns were covered with big-character posters, slogans, statements, orders, decrees, warrants, as well as "Red Capital Messages" and "Speeches by Central Leaders."

Mail routes were disrupted, bus services were suspended, and stores closed.
