It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, so long as it catches mice.

Young leading cadres have risen up by helicopter. They should really rise step by step.

So far as Chairman Mao's own hopes were concerned, he initiated the "Cultural Revolution" in order to avert the restoration of capitalism, but he had made an erroneous assessment of China's actual situation. In the first place, the targets of the revolution were wrongly defined, which led to the effort to ferret out "capitalist roaders in power in the Party". Blows were dealt at leading cadres at all levels who had made contributions to the revolution and had practical experience, including Comrade Liu Shaoqi.

Reform is Chinas second revolution.

Chairman Mao's greatest contribution was that he applied the principles of Marxism-Leninism to the concrete practice of the Chinese revolution, pointing the way to victory. It should be said that before the sixties or the late fifties many of his ideas brought us victories, and the fundamental principles he advanced were quite correct.

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

By following the concept of one country, two systems, you dont swallow me up nor I you.
