About this listen

"Socialism is Good” 社会主义好, a Chinese Communist propaganda song from the 1950s was one of the most iconic and recognisable tunes before the Cultural Revolution. Welcome to the second episode of a two-part podcast with Tilen Zupan, a master's student in Transcultural Studies at the Center for Asian and Transcultural Studies in Heidelberg. Exploring the intricacies of the song's reception and production histories, and its parodies, Tilen examines the multifaceted processes of its signification during the turbulent era of Mao’s China.
