Propaganda should pervade through all five senses, cementing the message into a mind with repetition and emphasis. Thus Jessica and I tried to make an appealing, youthful song to appeal to the masses and pull them in towards Mao. The song 'Atop the Golden Mountain in Beijing' was very similar to our song for it portrayed Mao in an essentially golden light of hope and euphoria. The central theme of worshipping the Great Comrade pervaded throughout the entire short song. The song itself was very emotional and moving, stamping in the glorious portrayal of Mao. Our main focus was also on Mao; to show how he was the "chosen one" who would lead China to prosperity. At the same time, we tried to make the song as 'modern' as possible for we wanted to make sure to appeal to the major minority of youths; but at the same time catchy enough to compel the hearts of all Chinese citizens.
