**Quotations from Mao Zedong on War and Revolution **

Instructions:
 * Copy and paste each quote into your wiki
 * In a sentence, explain the meaning of each quote

A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.


 * — From //Report on an Investigation of the Peasant Movement in Hunan// **

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


 * — From //Be Concerned with the Well-Being of the Masses, Pay Attention to Methods of Work// **

War is the highest form of struggle for resolving contradictions, when they have developed to a certain stage, between classes, nations, states, or political groups, and it has existed ever since the emergence of private property and of classes.


 * — From //Problems of Strategy in China's Revolutionary War// **

Every Communist must grasp the truth, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."

None of the students knew what the photo was. Here, journalists and China specialists discuss the government's efforts to keep certain ideas and history from the Chinese people, including the picture and story of 'tank man.'

Tom Brokaw looks back: [|Here]

<span style="color: #282828; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">Tienanmen Square lies at the heart of Beijing and has long been the center of political activity in ** [|China] **. But it is most well-known outside of the country as the place where a student-led pro-democracy movement was crushed by the People's Liberation Army in 1989.Hundreds of students and residents were killed when the army pushed into the city to retake the square from the student protesters. China's official verdict is that the protests aimed to topple the ruling Communist Party and plunge the country into chaos. Protest leaders said they were seeking greater democracy and freedom, along with an end to corruption and favoritism within the party. Wednesday marks the 25th anniversary of the June 4, 1989, crackdown that has become a taboo subject in China, banned from textbooks and websites.

 * One of the first to die in Tienanmen Square Massacre**

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #282828; display: block; font-family: georgia,'times new roman',times,serif; font-size: 10px;"> <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em;">Twenty-five years after the Tienanmen crackdown of June 4, 1989 the Communist Party continues to conceal the truth about the deaths of hundreds of victims including Wu Guofeng, a 20-year-old student who was among the first to die.Shot in the head, shoulder and chest by the advancing troops, and then deliberately skewered through the belly with a bayonet, he was one of hundreds, perhaps thousands of ** [|Chinese] ** citizens slaughtered during the Tiananmen Square crackdown that took place 25 years ago this week.“I will never forgive them. It broke my heart,” Song Xiuling, his 70-year-old mother, told The Telegraph in a rare interview on the eve of the anniversary. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #282828; display: block; font-family: georgia,'times new roman',times,serif; font-size: 10px;"> <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em;">“The Communist Party still dares not publish the truth,” said Wu Dingfu, the dead student’s father. “But one day it will emerge.”In the quarter-of-a-century since a night of carnage that is now simply known as the “June 4th incident”, China’s Communist leaders have fought tooth and nail to keep the truth about Tienanmen being known. media type="custom" key="26139688" <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #282828; display: block; font-family: georgia,'times new roman',times,serif; font-size: 10px;">
