Chairman Mao emphasized that "the route is wrong, the more knowledge is, the more reactionary it is." This view makes sense.
The Chairman believes that without intellectuals participating, the Chinese revolution will not be able to win, but if the workers and peasants are not combined, the intellectuals will achieve nothing.
In the thousands of years of social development history of our country, the people are suffering, working hard and supporting the people of the world; while those who are keen on official careers and fight against each other, are a few intellectuals who are keen on empty talk and are confused about the country.
It is the people who dare to resist the revolution, dare to overthrow the old order, and resist imperialist aggression. However, intellectuals with two sides and differentiation and cooperation with reactionary and corrupt forces are the ones with incorrect minds.
Therefore, the Chairman is closer to ordinary people in his heart.
In " Rectification of the Party's Style ", the Chairman talked about the shortcomings of intellectuals. "Many intellectuals think they are very knowledgeable and put on a big stance of knowledge, but do not know that such an stance is bad, harmful, and hinders their progress. They should understand a truth. Many so-called intellectuals are actually the least knowledgeable. Sometimes workers and peasants know a little more than them."
The Chairman dislikes the intellectuals who use their pen to kill people. For example, he believes that Cao Cao's was a traitor who was a traitor who was a literati and should be rehabilitated. He respects and criticizes Confucius . Respect Confucius and advocate inheriting excellent traditional culture; at the same time, he is deeply suspicious of Confucius' theory, believing that the Chinese people's bad nature is caused by the poison of feudal thought.
The Chairman advocated the transformation of the ideas of the bourgeois intellectuals. He also pointed out: "Intellectuals must be both popular and specialized at the same time. To become popular, they must make a determination to completely transform their bourgeois worldview. This is not to read a lot of books, but to truly understand what proletarian is."
The chairman loves workers, peasants and soldiers the most, and is most sympathetic and willing to approach the lower class people, and is very concerned about their well-being. He likes and whips, encourages and criticizes intellectuals.
In October 1975, the chairman said in a speech: "The masses are real heroes, and we are often naive and ridiculous. Usually, the level of subordinates is higher than that of superiors, and the masses are higher than that of leaders, and the leaders are not as good as ordinary workers because they are separated from the masses and have no practical experience."
The so-called "public intellectuals" who are now arrogant in online media are neither patriotic nor the people, and they are also a little aware of academic knowledge. Such intellectuals are very worthy of our vigilance and close attention.
40 years ago, parents have jobs for urban people, and their children have a job in the factory, and their national food life is guaranteed. Housing is divided according to population, but they must not be relaxed, but they have no worries about food, clothing, housing, transportation, and education; rural people have three children and four children, and the labor force is sufficient, and the distribution of land is mostly responsible for households, and there is no worries about food, clothing, housing, transportation and work; although the supplies are not abundant, they are very active in giving birth to children regardless of the city or rural areas!
Chairman Mao: Abolish this aristocratic school and unite with the children of the people.
On June 11, 1952, the Beijing Municipal Committee submitted a report on the "Report on the Cost Burden and Living Situation of Primary and Secondary School Students" to the Central Committee and the North China Bureau. The report stated that the current costs borne by primary and secondary school students are quite heavy for the families of working people and low-wage staff. The report plans to take over all private primary and secondary schools, and all public and private primary and secondary schools will be exempted from tuition and miscellaneous fees. The report also mentioned the extremely inconsistent treatment of students in schools for cadres’ children. On June 14, Chairman Mao criticized in this report: "Premier Zhou: (1) If possible, all private primary and secondary schools should be taken over. (2) The first step is to give uniform treatment and no further grades should be divided; the second step is to abolish such aristocratic school and integrate with the children of the people. Please do whatever you want." ("Collected Works of Mao Zedong" Volume 6 P232)
