Wu Junyong, 7 o’clock

Wu Junyong has marshaled his highly individual style and pictorial rhetoric to intervene in public events and conversations, using microblogs, e-commerce platforms, and apps to transmit his deeply political imagery. 7 o’clock is another manifestation of this thinking: 7:00 p.m. is the time when mainstream Chinese society watches the evening news, and the newsstand is a vernacular, street side form where propaganda and entertainment mix.
