In the heat of the Cultural Revolution tens of thousands of Red Guards went to destroy the Temple of Paradise (Jile Temple) in Harbin, not content to cover the walls with dazibao they forced the monks to undergo “public struggle”, some one had the monks hold up a banner that read “all Buddhist scriptures are dog fart”. Li Zhensheng who was photo-reporter with the Heilomgjiang Daily has amassed around a hundred thousands of negatives from the Cultural Revolution.

Another dunce-hat picture by Li Zhensheng, 3 highest ranking Party officials of Heilongjiang undergoing public criticism for hours. 3 different attitudes: and different meanings. First one wearing a too small size hat he had to hold with his hand. Second one had an over-sized hat covering all his face, he had to lift the cover a little to breathe, the third one had a perfect taylor-made hat - even with “ears” like in traditional Peking opera. He can rest his arms and closed his eyes as if to say: this is a mad mad world I don’t want to see it.
How a dunce hat craeates a diagonale dividing the picture in two. Heaven and Hell. Full of sounds and furies…”At a rally in Red Guard Square, provincial Party Secretary and first Party Secretary of Harbin Ren Zhongyi, after having his face smeared with black ink, is forced to wear a dunce cap and a placard around his neck with the accusatory label “black gang element” while standing on an unstable chair with his hands behind his back holding a string attached to the ill-fitting hat. Harbin, 26 August 1966”.
