We can't be trapped by fear. Lives lived within such walls are just slower deaths.
Do not debate! is one of my inventions.
Chairman Mao was after all a principal founder of the Chinese Communist Party and the People's Republic of China. In evaluating his merits and mistakes, we hold that his mistakes were only secondary. What he did for the Chinese people can never be erased. In our hearts we Chinese will always cherish him as a founder of our Party and our state.
We must make a clear distinction between the nature of Chairman Mao's mistakes and the crimes of Lin Biao and the Gang of Four. For most of his life, Chairman Mao did very good things. Many times he saved the Party and the state from crisis. Without him the Chinese people would, at the very least, have spent much more time groping in the dark.
Whatever sentence is passed on the Gang of Four won't be excessive. They brought harm to millions upon millions of people.
Observe calmly; secure our position; cope with affairs calmly; hide our capacities and bide our time; be good at maintaining a low profile; and never claim leadership.
China is not a superpower, nor will she ever seek to be one. . . If one day China should change her color and turn into a superpower, if she too should play the tyrant in the world, and everywhere subject others to her bullying, aggression and exploitation, the people of the world should identify her as social-imperialist, expose it, oppose it and work together with the Chinese people to overthrow it.
The weight of the dead was heavier than the pounds of the body.
Think of a man in a chronic state of anger!
I spend a frightening amount of money on books.
What is the difference between a 2°C world and a 4°C world? Human civilisation!
