# Hungary's Fight for Freedom, 111d: Racing Toward Freedom! (Chinese-English poster distributed in Manila)

A blue poster headed 'Hungary's Fight for Freedom' with a photograph of a column of civilians walking along a country road, a man pushing a bicycle with children on it and a woman carrying a bundle. Large Chinese characters say the people behind the Iron Curtain flee to freedom; the English caption reads 'Racing Toward Freedom!'. The tell is glittering generalities: 'freedom' frames the flight, and the walking crowd implies many are joining it.
