Inscription in Commemoration of the
Anniversary of Dazhong Ribao
(January 1, 1940)

Mobilize all possible forces, such as newspapers, periodicals, schools, propaganda organizations, cultural and artistic corps, political departments in the army,
and mass groups, to develop the consciousness of the nation, stimulate national
confidence and sense of pride, oppose any attempt to capitulate or compromise,
and, defying difficulties and sacrifice, resolutely carry the War of Resistance through
to the end. We must have freedom. We must win the victory.
