War is peace.

Freedom is slavery.

Ignorance is power.

In fact, I have always felt that the Chinese translation you provided is not very accurate, because this is Orwell's slogan in the so-called "socialist" society under extreme dictatorship and strict ideological control (similar to Stalin's personality cult in the Soviet Union after World War II), which means "War for peace, slavery for freedom, and ignorance for power". This sentence is repeated throughout the novel, symbolizing the dark and horrible rule of the ruling party and the leader of the ruling party, Big Brother, over the fictional "Pacific Federation" in the article, including strict restrictions on the media (in fact, there is only one newspaper in the country, namely The Times, and all the news of The Times has to be checked several times even after the event. If what Big Brother said today conflicts with the facts recorded in the newspaper a month ago, the newspaper a month ago will have to be revised, because "Big Brother never makes mistakes"), all aspects of language and thought should be controlled (Newspeak, the official language, is the only language with a decreasing vocabulary in the world, because redundant words are unnecessary), and party member's every move will be monitored with cameras and hidden microphones. Only in unsupervised slums can there be "real freedom".

"Big Brother" and his ruling party taught and brainwashed the people through these words and the above actions, and the people willingly supported their reign of terror. Considering that Orwell wrote this book around 1948 (when he was already ill), he almost strangely wrote all aspects of personality worship in the late Soviet Union. The western literary circles called 1984 a "prophecy", although this phenomenon has weakened a lot since 1984.
