Chairman Mao creatively applied Marxism-Leninism to every aspect of the Chinese revolution, and he had creative views on philosophy, political science, military science, literature and art, and so on. Unfortunately, in the evening of his life, particularly during the "Cultural Revolution", he made mistakes - and they were not minor ones - which brought many misfortunes upon our Party, our state and our people.

Keep a cool head and maintain a low profile. Never take the lead - but aim to do something big.

Seek truth from facts.

There is oil in the Middle East there is rare earth in China.

Whatever sentence is passed on the Gang of Four won't be excessive. They brought harm to millions upon millions of people.

Absorbing foreign capital and technology and even allowing foreigners to construct plants in China can only play a complementary role to our effort to develop the productive forces in a socialist society. Of course, this will bring some decadent capitalist influences into China. We are aware of this possibility; it's nothing to be afraid of.

Any capitalism is superior to feudalism.
