China Pictorial and the Cultural Revolution

In the 1980s,

one of China’s export items was the magazine China Pictorial,

also published as چین باتصویر in Urdu.

It was mailed free to subscribers.

I was a subscriber myself and used to read it avidly.

At the same time, the notorious Cultural Revolution was taking place.

But in the magazine, they presented only happy faces.

Later I came to know about the atrocities unleashed by the Revolution.
