Morning Sun

This website uses a range of techniques and perspectives to reflect on the origins and history of the Cultural Revolution (c. 1964-1976). The site presents a daily life history of the Cultural Revolution while tracking its progress through unique documentary footage, feature films, revolutionary operas, songs and music, and an archive of posters and everyday objects, diaries, correspondence and study notes made by participants in this revolution. Site visitors are able to view photographs, listen to period music, watch excerpts from feature films, and read items such as the Little Red Book, personal diaries, and magazine articles.
