The image on this poster was created in August 1967. A hundred copies were put up on Beijing's most important streets. In late September, early October 1967, designer Wang Hui copied and enlarged the image to measure 22 metres by 9 metres. Hanging on the west side of Tiananmen Square, more than half a million people, including Mao Zedong himself, saw it during the 1 October festivities.

The text in yellow characters: Warmly celebrate the 18th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China! - 热烈欢庆中华人民共和国成立十八周年!
