Inscription for Jiang Can[1]

(July 1939)

When the spirit is focused, what task cannot be accomplished? In the War of Resistance Against Japan, let everyone strive hard, let each one press forward valiantly. Fight for ten years, eight years—there is no reason why victory cannot be achieved.

Written for Mr. Jiang Can

Mao Zedong
