Combination of film of street scenes in Canton ("first film since the recent trouble") and interviews with two Hong Kong correspondents forms the basis of this report on the purpose and effect of the "great proletarian cultural revolution".

Film of Red Guards parading, discussing and waving their red books, people reading wall posters, soldiers performing an open-air anti-imperialist skit and bearing red banners and Mao posters is said to show that life remains peaceful despite some opposition among Cantonese workers to the recent propaganda campaign. Mark Gay of the 'Toronto Star' describes China's leader as a man "of almost overwhelming impact", concerned lest his peasant revolution "turn soft", and a skilful politician who (conscious of his increasing isolation in the party) decided in 1965 to create his own new power base in the Army and Red Guards. He believes that Mao, aided by Lin Piao, is winning the present power struggle with Chou En-Lai but predicts that after Mao's death China may open herself to the West, although not to capitalism. Reporter also interviews Richard Hughes of the 'Sunday Times'.
