The 5th issue of China Pictorial from 1968 features a famous cover of Chinese leader Chairman Mao Zedong waving to greet revolutionary soldiers during the Cultural Revolution.

• Publication: China Pictorial (中国画报), a prominent official state pictorial magazine published in multiple languages including Chinese.
• Issue: Number 5, published in 1968 (at the height of the Chinese Cultural Revolution).
• Cover Subject: Chairman Mao Zedong depicted waving.
• Context: The image documents Mao\'s interactions with and mobilization of revolutionary masses and soldiers as part of the era\'s widespread personality cult and political propaganda.
• 
  
• Insert 1 (The Propaganda Inset): A standard 4-page text/image supplement detailing recent directives from the Central Committee or updates on the Red Guard movement.
• 
  
• 
  
• Insert 2 (The Mao Print): This is a lithograph poster insert of the incredibly famous painting Chairman Mao on the Way toAnyuan (毛主席去安源) by Liu Chunhua. It depicts a young Mao in a long blue gown walking through the mountains near the ocean/clouds, carrying a red umbrella under his arm (often mistaken for a scroll).
• The vast majority of surviving copies have had their inserts removed. The Mao in Anyuan poster print was universally popular; millions of citizens pulled it out of magazines to frame or pin to their walls.
• The Young Mao by the Ocean Insert (Highly Rare)
• • The Artwork: The color picture is a print of the iconic oil painting \"Chairman Mao en Route to Anyuan\" (毛主席去安源), painted by Liu Chunhua in July 1967. It depicts a young, idealistic Mao Zedong in a long blue gown walking through a misty landscape with the stormy sky/mountains behind him (which look like waves or ocean from a distance), holding a traditional paper umbrella or scroll at his side.
  • The Rarity Factor: This painting became the most replicated image in human history, with over 900 million posters printed. However, magazine-sized, intact inserts are extremely rare today. Magazines were heavily circulated, and because this exact portrait was treated with a quasi-religious reverence, millions of people instantly tore the insert out to frame it, pin it to their walls, or carry it to political rallies. Finding a loose insert that was never pasted down, torn, or pinned is highly unusual.

  • The Context: These were supplementary sheets containing specific political directives or transcripts from the CCP Central Committee or the \"Cultural Revolution Group.
