Quotations from
Vice Chairman Lin
Quotations from the most controversial figure of the Cultural Revolution!
Following his death in 1971 Lin Piao's words and images were expunged from
history in China. This book is a rare example
and very collectible edition with common and uncommon pictures of Chairman Mao with Lin Piao.
This particular edition has a special endorsement from the People's Daily that gives credit to Lin for his work and contributions.
Ownership of this book praising Lin would have put the owner's life and liberty in peril after Lin's downfall and the
fact it has survived is remarkable.

Communist Youth League Application Form
An amazing historical document from a bygone era. In 1973, a Mr. Cheng applied to join the Communist Youth League of China. At the tender age of 15 he was no only evaluated on his own merits, but those of his immediate and extended family. To reinforce the working class roots of his family, he classified his family as not just farmers, but poor farmers. He stated that his father had never joined any reactionary organizations. His mother, brother, and sister-in-law had clean personal political records, as did his grandparents and uncles. In China, family associations and wealth counted for a great deal. If Mr. Cheng's application details are to be believed, he was the idea candidate poor and with a basic education and willing to follow Chairman Mao without reservation.

Tour the Forbidden City with Chairman Mao!
A chance to tour the world famous Forbidden City in Beijing with Chairman Mao!
This 1st edition guide was published in June 1971 during the Cultural Revolution.
The first page carries a quote from Chairman Mao, "The people, and the people alone, are
the motive force in the making of world history" and the inside pages are littered with
quotations from The Great Leader. This must have represented the great challenge to the
authors: how to present widely known facts about the emperors in Chinas long history
while intertwining quotations from Chairman Mao. An example, Chairman Mao has these
inspirational words about the 2000 years of history where China was ruled by emperors:
"The ruthless economic exploitation and political oppression of the peasants by the landlord
class forced them into numerous uprisings against its rule".
