Workers, peasants, soldiers (1966-1972)
Workers, peasants and soldiers (gong, nong, bing) are considered to be the pillars of the new Chinese society. During the Cultural Revolution they are portrayed as the rulers of the country. In reality, of course, they are just the people, ruled by the Party. In these posters, political loyalty to Mao is much more important than - for instance - participating in industrial or agricultural production.
Firmly grasp large-scale revolutionary criticism
Prepare for struggle, prepare for famine, for the people
Go among the workers, peasants and soldiers and into the thick of struggle!
Greet the 1970s with the new victories of revolution and production
Sharpening the knife day after day, intruders must be annihilated
Win honor for our great leader Chairman Mao, bring credit to our socialist motherland
Imperialism and all reactionary forces are paper tigers
Use and study Chairman Mao's glorious philosophical thought in a big way
Turn philosophy into a sharp weapon in the hands of the masses
Turn philosophy into a sharp weapon in the hands of the masses
The industry learns from Daqing, agriculture learns from Dazhai and the whole country learns from the People's Liberation Army
Chairman Mao is the great liberator of the world's revolutionary people
