Liupan the Mountain of Six Circles Dazzling sky to the far cirrus clouds. I gaze at wild geese vanishing into the south. If we cannot reach the Long Wall we are not true men. On my fingers I count the twenty thousand li we have already marched. On the summit of Liupan the west wind lazily ripples our red banner. Today we have the long rope in our hands. When will we tie up the gray dragon of the seven stars?

We shall heal our wounds, collect our dead and continue fighting.

The revolutionary war is a war of the masses; it can be waged only by mobilizing the masses and relying on them.

The People's democratic dictatorship needs the leadership of the working class. For it is only the working class that is most far-sighted, most selfless and most thoroughly revolutionary. The entire history of revolution proves that without the leadership of the working class revolution fails and that with the leadership of the working class revolution triumphs.

Let the ancient serve the present, let the foreign serve the national; by developing that which has been accomplished one creates something that is new.

The people, and the people alone, are the motive force in the making of world history.
