March 19, 2012: All the Superheroes Read Lei Feng



Sent to me from Beijing. The text at the top reads "The world’s superheroes all study" and the book they're holding and referencing (that is to say, the book they all study) is Lei Feng's Diary.
Lei Feng is a Great Leap Forward icon, that’s him on the right.

During 1964 the Lei Feng campaign shifted gradually from doing good deeds to a cult of Mao.
