Morning Sun | Reddest Red Sun | The Miracles of Chairman Mao

A short excerpt from A Song of Triumph for Chairman Mao's Proletarian Line on Public Health, a 1969 documentary film produced by the Chinese government showing PLA medical workers treating deaf-mute children at a school in rural China:

Consulting the Works of Chairman Mao

During the Cultural Revolution, Mao Zedong Thought was extolled as:

"[O]ur powerful weapon in waging the cultural revolution and the sole criterion for distinguishing fragrant flowers from poisonous weeds and revolution from counter-revolution... People armed with Mao Tse-tung's thought are the greatest fighting force; they have the greatest courage, wisdom and unanimity of will. When they grasp Mao Tse-tung's thought, which is both a political telescope and a political microscope, the worker, peasant and soldier masses have the highest criterion to distinguish right from wrong, they have the vantage ground from which to see far ahead, and they can discern the essence through the appearance."
