Wang Tong is most well-known for his series “Mao on the Wall”, which documents the images of Chairman Mao that were stencilled on the walls in peasant villages all over China during the Cultural Revolution. The photographs were taken mainly in the mid nineties and are reminders of a bygone era. With the vast changes in rural areas, most of places that still had the remnants of the Mao images have now been re-built.
