# "各族人民心向党" (The peoples of all nationalities turn their hearts to the Party), Shanghai poster

Crowds in minority-nationality dress and Pioneer scarves gather at the brick building marked as the site of the First National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, with a Mao portrait in the upstairs meeting room and a red flag at the door. The founding-site setting lends the Party's first-meeting prestige to the message (transfer), and the multi-ethnic crowd stands for 'all peoples' as evidence of support (bandwagon).
