Xiao Zhuang experienced the Cultural Revolution first hand as a photojournalist when she started working for Xianhua News Daily in 1952. She documented the radical social and cultural changes that took place under Maos watch. For ten years (1966-76), Xiao Zhuang traveled through China to record the spread of the Little Red Book doctrine and the propagation of communism the Chinese way. Although widely used as propaganda, her images are a testimonial of making history one image at the time.
