Living Revolution | People's Liberation Army |
|
The People's Liberation Army was seen as a true People's Army: from
the people, of the people, and for the people -- both the guardian
of the state and the protector of the people. Communist Party
propaganda held up a popular image of the army; films, fiction, and
stage productions celebrated the PLA, and created a pantheon of army
heroes for mass consumption.

A Soldier's Diary
(in Chinese only) Liu Ying-chun: A Fine Son of the Chinese People: "Liu Ying-chun's short life was one of studying, carrying out, disseminating and defending Mao Tse-tung's thought; of complete service to the people with all his heart and soul. It was the glorious, great and militant life of a proletarian fighter." A Heroic Company Armed with Mao Tse-tung's Thought: "See how these young soldiers express it: 'Keep the people in your heart forever and always keep the revolution in mind. Then you'll be able to cast away all thoughts of personal gain and loss, conquer any kind of difficulty or hardship, challenge ogres of all descriptions, dare to take risks and defy dangers.'"
