Mao Zedong (hereinafter referred to as Mao): What is Lu Ping doing now?
XXX: Lu Ping is sweeping the floor at Beijing University.
Mao: Lu Ping can only sweep the floor, just like me. When I arrived at your school, I could
only sweep the floor. I can't do anything else. I'm your orderly.
 Mao: Zhang Chengxian is also a bad guy. He tore down your red flag. You should raise it.
How many people have you recruited?
XXX: More.
Mao: That's on the right track.
(XXX asks the Chairman if he's in good health.)
Mao: I'm in good health. I went swimming in the Yangtze River, and a young comrade had
liver pain, so I came up. Otherwise, I could have swum for three or four hours.
(XXX asks the Chairman what should be done next?)



Mao: You should practice "One Struggle, Two Criticisms, Three Reforms," and act according
to the Sixteen Points.
(Mao asks XXX if she can swim.)
XXX: I just learned, and I'm not very good at it. I can only swim a dozen meters.
Mao: That's not swimming, that's strolling in the garden. (Mao makes a leisurely strolling
gesture) If you can do that, you'll have moved from the realm of necessity to the realm of
freedom. You're always afraid of criticism. Marxism was forged through pressure,
weathering storms and flourishing.
Jiang Qing: We can't let her take the spotlight; we need her to be modest.
Mao: How can you say that? We need her to make revolution!
