Dazibao in the 21st century

Dazibao: also named big-character poster, is a hand written poster widely used during the culture revolution in China during the 1960s and 1970s. It is “used for everything from sophisticated debate to satirical entertainment to rabid denunciation” (Wikipedia) Actually,  being attacked by the words in a big-character poster was enough to end one’s career, ruin her family, or even kill his life.
