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

Main heroes are always depicted in bright light, with straight and strong bodies. One obvious example of this technique is seen in depictions of Jiao Yulu who, although seen at the same distance from the viewer as everyone else surrounding him, regularly appears bigger than any of the others.
