Jim Posted February 28, 2019 at 12:28 AM Report Posted February 28, 2019 at 12:28 AM I can make out a quote from Mao, "关心国家大事,要把无产阶级文化大革命进行到底" (get involved in national affairs, carry the Proletarian Cultural Revolution on to the very end -- it's in quotation marks in your text) but only because I recognise the phrase, struggling with the rest of the handwriting I'm afraid. I think it opens with 敬爱得毛主席 (Beloved Chairman Mao) and ends with exhortations to support the Party Centre and support Chairman Mao, so definitely looks to be of its time from the date you see. Hopefully someone better will come along and fill in the rest! 1 Quote
New Members swint08 Posted February 28, 2019 at 12:30 AM Author New Members Report Posted February 28, 2019 at 12:30 AM Thank you. I was hoping it was more personal. Wondering if this is a state issued response on the back of a propaganda photo. Really appreciate it. Sean Quote
Jim Posted February 28, 2019 at 12:36 AM Report Posted February 28, 2019 at 12:36 AM I think the other lines might be a might more personal, one young person sending inspiring quotes to another sort of thing, caught up in the mood of the times, going off my guesses at some other words but as i say struggling there so not at all sure.

Jim Posted February 28, 2019 at 01:25 AM Report Posted February 28, 2019 at 01:25 AM Oh, not a personal message at all! Quote
Publius Posted February 28, 2019 at 01:41 AM Report Posted February 28, 2019 at 01:41 AM It's a personal swearing of allegiance to Chairman Mao. Quote
Jim Posted February 28, 2019 at 01:42 AM Report Posted February 28, 2019 at 01:42 AM Yes, got that bit, meant not from one person to another. Quote
