I saw this on Bansky’s website (which I check in on now and again) earlier today and read this very interesting story, Ive written it below due to shrinking the image:
"You Shouldn’t mess with Graffiti writers.
The longest recorded piece of graffiti was painted by a student in the toilets of his college, Changsha, China in 1915. It consisted of over 4000 characters criticising his teachers and state of Chinese society. After completing this masterpiece the student handed himself in and was paraded in front of the school and threatened with expulsion. The student was a 22 year old Chairman Mao. A graffiti artist who later founded the People’s Republic of China and was responsible for the deaths of over 30 million people." Chiang Fang, Chinese Army Magazine, Dec 1968
