Chinese # 28 - Mao With Soldiers In Blue

The poster "Chairman Mao Instructs Us to Study Theory" portrays a scene from the revolutionary era, where Chairman Mao Zedong is shown teaching ordinary revolutionary soldiers about Marxist theory in a cave dwelling in northern Shaanxi. The image captures the essence of Chairman Mao's commitment to imparting theoretical knowledge to his comrades. In the picture, Chairman Mao is surrounded by five enthusiastic soldiers in the cave. He holds a book by Lenin and is earnestly guiding the soldiers in their studies. Behind Chairman Mao, the wall displays a map of China, and two bookshelves filled with books are visible. These elements symbolize the Communist Party's emphasis on knowledge. The poster exemplifies the Party's dedication to the integration of Marxism with practical application. Chairman Mao's central role as a teacher demonstrates the Party's value of studying Marxist theory. The scene also reflects the notion that revolutionary education was not confined to formal settings
