By government decree every member of the commune is entitled to a private lot. Cartoon shows Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong standing behind a microphone under a flag showing the hammer and sickle, reading a proclamation to a crowd of beaten down Chinese peasants, who stand behind a row of open graves. The coffins lying next to the graves are labelled Victims of Hunger in Red China. In 1961, after a period of disastrous weather, Communist China experienced a severe agricultural famine.
