Image Missing: Hearst Museum object titled Flask, museum number 9-23850, described as Aluminum hot water flask. A lithographic transfer on a red ground depicts a building complex facing a boulevard with a row of trees and several vehicles. The building resembles the Minorities Palace (民族宮Minzu gong), which would make the broad avenue Chang’an Boulevard. Lights and fireworks that brighten the red night sky likely refer to a National Day celebration, perhaps the tenth anniversary of the PRC in 1959, when the Minorities Palace was completed. A logo is impressed on the bottom part of the thermos: “Sunflower” (向阳 Xiangyang), with a sunflower image and “-2-.” Sunflowers, which continuously turn toward the sun, signified the loyal citizens who turn toward the Communist Party and Mao Zedong. A similar sunflower logo appears on the top of the lid.

These are the first two lines of a rousing song that was sung daily during the Cultural Revolution.
