Morning Sun. A Film and Website about Cultural Revolution.

Ed./Corp.: Long Bow Group, Brookline, MA, USA; 2003.
URL.: http://www.morningsun.org
Language: English and Chinese (GB).

Self description: A range of techniques and perspectives are used in the
Morning Sun website to reflect on the origins and history of the Cultural
Revolution (c.1964-1976). We approach the period not from a simplistic
linear perspective, but from a panoptic one, encompassing a broad overview
while allowing the user to focus in on individual histories, narratives and
events that reveal the complex contradictory forces that led to an era of
unrivalled revolutionary fervor and political turmoil.

Description: The site makes extensive use of sound and film excerpts to
evoke a very lively picture of the time. The quoted texts can be read in
both Chinese and English, while the film or song plays. There is also a
"Search Site" function (Google) available under "Site Map".

Contents: (1) About the Site; (2) Living Revolution (Listen to period music,
watch excerpts from feature films, and read items such as the Little Red
Book, personal diaries, and magazine articles); (3) Smash the Old World!
(Read about the Four Olds, view photographs and posters); (4) Reddest Red
Sun (Explore aspects of the Mao cult from buttons to medical miracles); (5)
Stages of History (State-orchestrated history unfolds through dramatic
events, from parades on Tiananmen Square to revolutionary model operas); (6)
The East is Red (Read about The East is Red, its history and transformation
from a simple folk tune to a stage epic on China's revolutionary history);
(7) The Film; (8) Multimedia; (9) Images; (10) Library; (11) Sitemap.

Note: Site makes use of Quicktime and Flash.
