The children are looking at a statuette of a scene from the Chinese classical novel Journey to the West, Monkey beating the White Bone Demon. Suddenly appearing often on posters from 1977-1978, this scene may be assumed to refer to the downfall of Mao's wife/widow Jiang Qing and her Gang of Four. The scene takes place at the Summer Palace in Beijing (Yihe yuan, 北京颐和园).
