Commune members gather to read and hear the announcement of the decision to build a Memorial Hall for Chairman Mao, taken by the highest organs of the party and the state on 8 October 1976. The woman in the foreground holds a text poster with the text of this decision, probably it is in the newspaper held by the man in the middle as well, and perhaps also on the radio, the television in the background and the PA system in the top left corner. The date on calendar is 9 October.
