After 13 years of the establishment of Han Xian Di period, the prime minister Cao Cao missed the late famous literacy scholar Cai Yi and his exiled daughter Cai Wenji in Southern Xiong Nu (former Mongolia). He paid gold coins to get her back and asked her to sort out her father's works. This poster shows that on her way back home, she saw people in central China living a happy, and peaceful life, the result of Cao Cao's success in administration and nationalities consolidation. This poster symbolized the life under the leadership of CCP. It suggests peace,unity, progress, stability and friendship.
