About this book
Mao's Golden Mangoes and the Cultural Revolution, published to coincide with an exhibition at the Museum Rietberg in Zürich, explores the golden magoes' reverbrations throughout Chinese culture for years to come. The text includes a historical narrative of the golden mangoes' rise to fame; first-person accounts of both students and factory workers; an examination of the National Day Parade in 1968, which used the symbol of the mangoes prominently; a critical essay on the 1976 film The Song of the Mango; and it compares the perception of the workers in China in the late 1960s and today.
