Communist Chinese Propaganda Posters in the 60s and 70s

Chairman Mao, our great tutor, great leader,
great commander in chief and great helmsman.
Women weida de daoshi, weida de lingxiu, weida de tongshuai,
weida de duoshou mao zhuxi wansui.
Long live Chairman Mao's victorious revolutionary line
of the rule of the proletariat.
Mao zhuxi de wuchanjieji geming luxian shengli wan sui.

Long live the great Chinese People's Liberation Army.
Wei da de zhong guo ren min jie fang jun wan sui.

Study hard and forever be faithful to our party and people.
Hao hao xuexi, yongyuan zhong yu dang, zhong yu renmin.

When the military and the people are as one,
who under the sky the world can defeat us?
Jun min tuanjie ru yi ren, shi kan tianxia shei neng di?

The innumerable masses all share the same wish:
Enthusiastically welcome the publication of "Volume 5, Mao Zedong's Selected Works".
Yi wan renmin de gongtong xinyuan relie huanhu maozedong xuanji di wu juan chuban.

Enhance vigilance and defend our Motherland! Be ready to annihilate invaders at any time!
Tigao jingti, baowei zuguo! Suishi zhunbei qianmie ru qin zhi di!

Study heroes and put that learning into action.
We must place the most formidable tasks on our shoulders.
Xue yingxiong jian xingdong. Yao ba na zui jianju de zhongdan tiao zai jian.

We must liberate Taiwan.
Women yiding yao jiefang Taiwan.

Glorious Socialism.
She hui zhu yi guang rong

May Chairman Mao's revolutionary art and literature line triumph forever.
Mao zhuxi de geming wenyi luxian shengli wansui.
