Read all the quotations and brielfy summarize five of them
 * Quotations by Mao Zedong.**

Mao knows that there would be enormous casualties, sufferings, deaths during the cultural Revolution. He knows that it's not realistic to hope for a peaceful war that there would be no mercy. He wants to tell the people that this revolt is serious, and bring death to many people. He wants to warn his people to prepare for the war and accept its consequences for their country. This honesty brought many people to follow him and support the economy and encouraged them that it was the right choice to make.
 * 1. "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"**

Mao's state of belief makes him want to end the aggression led by Imperialism. The fact that he is a communist naturally provokes him to stop the U.S imperialist. He is stating that the oppression perpetrated by the capitalist should stop and they should start reinforcing his faith. He is still insecure by the imperialist.
 * 2. "In the West imperialism is still oppressing the people at home. This situation must change. It is the task of the people of the whole world to put an end to the aggression and oppression perpetrated by imperialism, and chiefly by U.S imperialism."**

If one wants something, they need to set forward sacrifices in order to achieve them. We cannot gain something without any costs, there has to be some casualties if we also have benefits. However, from Mao's experience, he believes that it's worthy when he fights for his people and meets death. He thinks that dying for his country is considered grateful. However, at the same time, he wants everyone to have hope and try to avoid "unnecessary sacrifices." He knew realistically that there would be costs and casualties after the revolution, and notified his people about it too. This Marxist's view and his goal set the people to believe that it was wise and honorable to fight and die for their own country that will soon lead to communism.
 * 3. "Wherever there is struggle, there is sacrifice, and death is a common occurrence. But we have the interests of the people and the sufferings of the great majority at heart, and when we die for the people it is a worthy death. Nevertheless, we should do our best to avoid unnecessary sacrifices."**

Unlike any other ruler who disregarded women, children, and the elderly unimportant, Mao ensured the people that he truly cares for his people. This encouraged many women to confront and participate on an "equal footing" with all men. Influenced by Marxism, he believed that everyone had the right to be treated equally, no matter what the gender and age is. He wanted his country to be unified into one under Communism. This brought hope and reliance to the many citizens, and made them want to support the war effort and prepare for the war.
 * 4. "Protect the interests of the youth, women, and children, provide assistance to young students who cannot afford to continue their studies, help the youth and women to organize in order to participate on an equl footing in all work useful to the war effort and to social prgress, ensure freedom of marriage and equality as between men and women, and give young people and children a useful education..."**

Mao is emphasizing that everyone, no matter what, has the right and need to participate in their country. It's not him, nor the government who is trying to win this battle for their good. He wanted to make sure that the people understood that the country needs everyone's support. He relied on his citizen and believed that they would soon revolt and change the future generation. No matter what he decides right now, the future depends on the youth. He wanted to lead them to believe that it is righteous to follow his steps under Communism.
 * 7."The world is yours, as well as ours, but in the last analysis, it is yours. You young people, full of vigor and vitality, are in the bloom of life, like the sun at eight or in in the morning. Our hope is placed on you."**
