# Picture of New Life in Phuoc Tuy photo poster (Vietnamese poster distributed in Saigon)

A Vietnamese photo poster titled 'Picture of the new life, Phuoc-Tuy province'. Photographs show villagers voting, fertiliser distribution, rice harvesting, duck farming, pigs supplied on government loans and a compulsory-education school assembly, each with a caption crediting the government. The tell is card-stacking: only government programmes and their benefits appear, with general phrases such as 'democratic spirit' standing in for evidence.
