June 7, 1958 If you are a drop of water, have you nourished an inch of land? If you are a ray of sunshine, have you illuminated an inch of darkness? If you are a grain of grain, have you nurtured useful life? If you are the smallest screw, will you always stick to your post in life? If you want to tell us what thoughts you have, are you preaching the most beautiful ideal day and night? Since you are alive, will you give your life to the future of human life? Labor makes the world more beautiful day by day. I want to ask you what you have brought for the future. In the warehouse of life, we should not just be endless payers
October 25, 1959 Youth is forever It is beautiful, but true youth only belongs to those who always strive for the top, those who always work selflessly, and those who are always humble
Dear Chairman Mao, I saw the article you wrote in memory of Bethune on February 15, 1961 The article was so enlightening that I was moved to tears. In the past, someone ridiculed me and said, "What's the point of being active? If such a small man gives you a 150-pound burden, you can't bear it." After hearing this, I still complained about why I was so tall. As for the little man, you said that a person's ability may be great or small, but as long as he has this spirit, he is a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who has escaped from vulgar taste, and a person who is beneficial to the people. This makes me very happy. I am encouraged to be big and small, but I must also do my best to not be self-interested but to benefit others and learn from Bethune, the great internationalist warrior
On June 5, 1961, we must remember to learn from Bethune at work. The comrades with the highest enthusiasm should be in line with the comrades with the lowest level in life
After breakfast today, October 21, 1960, the company leader gave us a task. We went up the mountain to cut the grass and brought it back to build the vegetable cellar. It was 12 o'clock. The platoon deputy blew the assembly whistle, and everyone arrived at the gathering place with a box of lunch they had brought from the company. The platoon deputy said, "Come in and have lunch." I found Comrade ××× sitting aside and watching everyone eat. I walked up to him and asked Why didn't he eat? He replied, "I ate two boxes of lunch this morning and didn't bring any food. So I took out a box of lunch that I brought for him to eat. Even though I was a little hungry, I kept him full. This is my greatest happiness." We must keep in mind this famous saying: treat comrades with the warmth of spring, treat work with as much fervor as summer, treat individualism as the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves, treat the enemy as ruthlessly as the harsh winter
1961 Today, March 4th, the company commander gave me a new gun. I was as happy as if I had gotten a treasure. I couldn’t even express my joy. Looking at the sharp and shiny bayonet, touching the smooth handle, and counting the brand-new bullets were just amazing. I was so happy that I didn’t know what to do. I was afraid of getting the gun dirty. When I saw a little dust on the gun, I immediately took out my beloved handkerchief from my pocket and wiped the dust clean
March 1961 What are the American soldiers of the era? Their faded and patched yellow military uniforms are the most beautiful workers. Their oil-stained blue overalls are the most beautiful farmers. Their thick, calloused hands are the most beautiful working people. The face tanned by the scorching sun is the most beautiful. The rough and majestic labor chant is the most beautiful voice. The soul of the person who works tirelessly for the construction of socialism is the most beautiful. All of this constitutes the beauty of our era. If anyone thinks this is not beautiful, then He doesn’t understand our era
April 1961 Chairman Mao’s writings are like food and weapons to me like the steering wheel on a car. If you don’t eat, you can’t fight. Without weapons, you can’t drive. Without a steering wheel, you can’t make revolution. It’s impossible not to study Chairman Mao’s works
April 28, 1961 Our country is now in a difficult period. We are the masters of the country. We should think about the country at all times and plan carefully in everything. We cannot be drunk today and worry tomorrow. We must work hard and be self-reliant to overcome the temporary difficulties currently existing and resolutely oppose eating and drinking and refraining from waste, comrade, are you?
Realize that everything in your life is in happiness. You may not realize it, or you may realize it. When you can have a full meal, put on a set of clothes, be the master of your own house and live freely, how do you feel? There is an indescribable happiness. I am grateful that what the Party and Chairman Mao brought to you was brought to you by the bloodshed and sacrifice of the revolutionary predecessors
After dinner on May 14, 1961, the instructor gathered all the comrades in the company and held a meeting to make arrangements for the next week. In my previous work, I also announced an order from my superiors to promote me to the position of deputy squad leader. Today, my boss promoted me to the position of deputy squad leader. This is entirely due to the party’s high trust and vigorous training in me. I am determined to live up to the expectations of the party and the boss. From today on, I will We must listen more to the words of the party and leaders and bear in mind Chairman Mao’s teachings. We all come from all over the world and come together for a common revolutionary goal
I woke up this morning on July 1, 1961 I feel particularly happy for no other reason than last night. I dreamed of the great leader Chairman Mao. Today happens to be the birthday of the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Party. Today, I have endless words to say to the Party and endless gratitude for the Party. Determination of lifelong struggle
On August 7, 1961, the Fushun Municipal People’s Congress has been open for four days and today is the last day. On behalf of the people of the city, the responsible comrade of the Municipal Party Committee gave us a gift of a pound of apples. When I held this catty of apples wrapped in red paper, I felt very excited. When I recalled the miserable days when I was homeless and wandering around, I always felt that the current party and people cared too much about me than my biological parents. Thinking that I was well, I couldn’t forget the class brothers who had been injured for the people, so I gave the apples to the sick and wounded comrades living in the health company. Although I didn’t eat them, my heart was sweeter than eating this catty of apples. Ten points
On September 20, 1961, I was walking back and forth around the outpost. My mind was thinking about the automobile oil depot, the country’s many properties, and the safety of the entire company. If they were careless, they would be in the hands of the guards. If we don’t be more vigilant, how much damage will be caused to the country and the people if the enemy sabotages me? I feel that my responsibility is greater. Compared with the Red Army’s Long March, when they fought every day and often went for days and nights without rest, they were still so strong, brave and brave. I am the people. The glorious title of soldier, defender of the motherland makes me happy. I would rather stand until dawn
October 1, 1961. Today is the National Day. I am particularly happy. On this great festival, I am doubly dedicated. Thinking of the wise leader Chairman Mao, my beloved Chairman Mao, Chairman Mao. I miss you every day and look forward to seeing you. But now I am still far away. I have not made any achievements and have not made much contribution to the people. But I am determined to listen to your words. I will always stand on the stand of the proletariat. I want to be like a pine tree that can endure wind, rain, cold, ice and snow, and remain green all year round. I want to be like a willow tree that can survive wherever I plant it. I want to be closely connected with the people. I want to take root and grow up among the people. The most loyal servant of the people, I will work selflessly with strong perseverance, study hard, do a good job, and strive to meet Chairman Mao
On October 17, 1961, I saw that the cesspool in the toilet was full and immediately started to excrement it. Although I sacrificed my whole morning's rest time when I took it out, the toilet was very clean. People jokingly called me a turd man. I think it is very honorable to be a turd man. Comrade Shi Chuanxiang, who participated in the Beijing Heroes Meeting in 1959, was not a A worker who removes excrement? What an honor it would be if I could have sex with such a excrement husband
Tonight, January 13, 1962, I watched the movie Honghu Red Guards and felt full of strength. My excitement was like The waves of the sea can never be calm. Communist Party member Comrade Han Ying's spirit of being strong, brave and not afraid of sacrifice gave me great inspiration and infinite strength. She would rather die in the enemy's prison and sing about beheading the revolution, only to be blown by the wind. For the party, I shed my blood for the party and my heart is happy. Her lofty words are deeply engraved in my mind. I am determined to learn from Han Ying forever. For the party, I am not afraid of going up the mountain of swords and into the sea of ??fire. For the party, even if I am broken into pieces, I will never change my heart
Today, January 11, 1962, the teacher gave us a lesson on preventing atomic weapons. After class, he immediately organized everyone to study Chairman Mao’s conversation with American reporter Anna Louise Strong and other articles. Chairman Mao said that the atomic bomb was the The paper tiger used by the reactionaries to scare people looks scary but is actually not scary. Of course, the atomic bomb is a weapon of mass murder, but it is the people who decide the outcome of the war, not one or two new weapons. Through learning, everyone has raised their awareness and corrected their attitude. Therefore, during the anti-atomic bomb drills, everyone was full of energy, confidence, and conscientious operation. Although we practiced anti-atomic bombs in the field at more than minus 20 degrees Celsius, no one complained. I was very happy to see the comrades’ enthusiasm for practicing hard skills.
March 2, 1962 A proud person is actually an ignorant person. He does not know how many bowls of dry rice he can eat. He does not understand that he is just a drop in the ocean. These people are like water in a bottle, and one bottle is not half full. What's there to be proud of after being swayed but still not shaking out?
March 24, 1962 Today, when I was having breakfast, I saw a lot of rice dumplings in the rice bowl of the cooking class, so I took one and ate it with the cook. The comrade said, "Be more conscious." I felt very bad after hearing this. I thought there was no need to feel angry after eating a piece of rice cake. I put the piece of rice cake into the rice bowl and walked out. Then the correspondent brought a newspaper. I took it and read it first. Chairman Mao's quotations in the newspaper said that because we serve the people, if we have shortcomings, we are not afraid of others criticizing and pointing them out. It doesn't matter who you are or who points it out to us. As long as you are right, we will correct it. Let's read this paragraph in one breath. I read it more than 10 times. The more I read it, the more I feel that I am right. The more I read it, the more I feel that these words of Chairman Mao seemed to be said specifically to me. The more I read it, the more I regretted that I should not be angry with the cook. I asked myself, how modest are you? People criticize you very much. You won't be able to stand it at all. After much deliberation, I still went to the cooking class and admitted that I was wrong with the rice cakes and examined my shortcomings. The cook was moved and said that you are such a good comrade for being so strict with yourself
On April 14, 1962, I lost such a good class brother like Huang Jiguang. I felt extremely sad. I couldn’t help but shed tears. I am a soldier of the people. I can’t cry anymore. I want to control my tears. I want to turn my grief into I must be stronger and braver. I must work hard to improve my skills. I must raise the red flag of Mao Zedong Thought even higher. The revolution will be resolute to the end until imperialism and all reactionaries are eliminated.
Yesterday afternoon, April 3, 1962 It snowed heavily today and it was extremely cold today. After breakfast, I went to the group for a meeting. On the road, I met a teenage boy. His clothes were very thin and he was shivering from the cold. I couldn’t help but immediately took off my cotton pants and sent him away. I felt indescribably happy when I gave it to him
On August 6, 1962, I heard a comrade say to another comrade today that people live just to eat. I think this statement No, we eat to live, but we don’t live to eat. I live to serve the people wholeheartedly and to fight against communism for the cause of human liberation
June 30, 1962 I consider myself a revolutionary To establish a strong collectivist ideology, we must always put collective interests first and at the same time resolutely eliminate individualism, because individualism is detrimental to the revolution and harmful to the collective. Individualism is like a lonely boat in the sea that capsizes at the touch of a storm. Collectivism is like an atomic icebreaker on the Arctic Ocean. No matter how hard the ice is, it can be destroyed. I think it is better to sit in a small boat and sway unsteadily, or to sit on an atomic icebreaker and ride the wind and waves and move forward
July 30, 1962 Today After getting up, we participated in the production work in the logistics department. When we got to the fields, some comrades did not bring the tools as planned. They were supposed to bring 10 picks and 6 hoes, but they only brought 2 picks and 5 hoes. This affected production. Enlightenment and education are great. I think not doing things according to plan is very harmful. What I saw today is just a small thing in production. How can it not be such a big thing? I feel
No matter what you do, you must have a plan in advance and you can't do it blindly. Only by following the plan can you complete the task successfully
On August 10, 1962, today I carefully studied a passage from Chairman Mao's work, and two sentences in it were very meaningful to me. The most profound education. Chairman Mao taught us that humility makes people progress. Pride makes people fall behind. This is absolutely true. In the past, I followed the Chairman’s teachings in all my words or actions. Therefore, I have made progress. Now I still have to keep this teaching of the Chairman in mind. Resolutely strive to ask myself to do this better. From now on, I will love and respect the people even more, and always be a primary school student of the people and a servant of the people
