Mao's People. Sixteen Portraits of Life in Revolutionary China
How do we apply Chairman Thought to get fat pigs? Squad Leader Ho (who knew the most about pigs) replied that, according to Chairman Mao, one must investigate the problem fully from all sides, and then integrate practice and theory.

They carry out policies made by the p…

As a group, Soviet urban pol…
