Mao's Good Student Jiao Yulu (Mao Zhuxi de hao xuesheng Jiao Yulu 毛主席的好学生焦裕禄)

In the story of Mao’s good student and model cadre Jiao Yulu 焦裕禄 (1922–64), the halo around the book containing Mao’s words is dramatically put into scene by use of the dark background in which it is set. The text again repeats the visual impression, reconfirming that the brightness coming from Mao’s words is what makes everyone strong.
