Says the card: “The army cherishes the people and the people support the army. The army and people unite to defeat the enemy. The villagers weave bamboo hats for their own worker and peasant soldiers. The Cultural Revolution killed millions of people, sundered the bonds that had guided the civilization for centuries, and attempted to recast mankind into an empty vessel into which the State could pour its wishes, and - no! Oh no! They are coming! I hear them at the door! I must finish writing the caption for this card before they break in, or - . . . PAY NO ATTENTION to the rantings of that madman. The Army cherishes the people, and the people support the army. Look! They have made hats! What more do you need to know?" |
