Scope and content
A stylised painting, in which Zhang Chunqiao hands 'bullets' to Wang Hongwen, who 'fires' them out of a video camera. The film reels on the camera say 'strike back' (反击), and the bullets say 'seize power' (夺权) and 'usurp the leadership of the party' (篡党). Jiang Qing and Yao Wenyuan are in the background.
