Mao Zedong
The government burns down whole cities while the people are forbidden to light lamps.

Mao Zedong
Three Songs 1 Mountain. I whip my quick horse and don't dismount and look back in wonder. The sky is three feet away. 2 Mountain. The sea collapses and the river boils. Innumerable horses race insanely into the peak of battle. 3 Mountain. Peaks pierce the green sky, unblunted. The sky would fall but for the columns of mountains.
Mao Zedong
I am hated by many, especially comrade Pang Dehuai, his hatred is so intense that he wished me dead. My policy with Pang Dehuai is such: You don't touch me, I don't touch you You touch me, I touch you. Even though we were once like brothers, it doesn't change a thing.
Mao Zedong
Reactionaries must be deprived of the right to voice their opinions only the people have that right.

The great man, Genghis Khan, only knew how to shoot eagles with an arrow. The past is past. To see real heroes, look around you.
