Chinese Cultural Revolution Photos

One way that Red Scarf Girl connects to my photo is that in the begginng of the book, Ji-Li, her little brother, and her best friend witnessed the breaking of a store sign because it contained the four olds in it's name and it was considered bad. Another way that it connects is that when The Red Guards went and deystroyed or took everything that contained the four olds from Ji-Li's neighbor and from the man in the excerpt from Life and Death in Shanghai by Nien Chang. Also when Ji-Li's family had to diguise her grandma's dowery by dying the red chests black and cuting up all the clothing.
