Both sources mention that the color red is associated with the new society created by the communist revolution in China. In Source 21.1, the text states "The Chinese Communist revolution drew its early sustenance from the vision of a new China — free of the inequalities of the old order, a society in which land would be owned by the tiller, and political power held by the masses. This vision was informed by a mix of new and old ideas, from the anti-imperialist struggle of the May Fourth Movement of 1919 to the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist thought that guided the party. The colour of this new society was revolutionary red." In Source 21.4, the image shows a group of people holding up a large red banner with Chinese characters that roughly translate to "Long live the great unity of the revolutionary people of the world."
