……正当北伐战争向前发展的紧要关头，这个代表中国人民解放事业的国共两党和各界人民的民族统一战线及其一切革命政策，就被国民党当局的叛卖性的反人民的“清党”政策和屠杀政策所破坏了。……从此以后，内战代替了团结，独裁代替了民主，黑暗的中国代替了光明的中国。但是中国共产党和中国人民并没有被吓倒，被征服，被杀绝。他们从地下爬起来，揩干净身上的血迹，掩埋好同伴的尸首，他们又继续战斗了。他们高举起革命的大旗，举行了武装的抵抗，在中国的广大区域内，组织了人民的政府，实行了土地制度的改革，创造了人民的军队——中国红军，保存了和发展了中国人民的革命力量。
——《论联合政府》（一九四五年四月二十四日），《毛泽东选集》第三卷第一零三六页
At a critical moment in the progress of the Northern Expedition, ... the treacherous and reactionary policies of "party purge" and massacre adopted by the Kuomintang authorities wrecked this national united front - the united front of the Kuomintang, the Communist Party and all sections of the people, which embodied the Chinese people's cause of liberation - and all its revolutionary policies.... Thereupon unity was replaced by civil war, democracy by dictatorship, and a China full of brightness by a China covered in darkness. But the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese people were neither cowed nor conquered nor exterminated. They picked themselves up, wiped off the blood, buried their fallen comrades and went into battle again. Holding high the great standard of revolution, they rose in armed resistance and over a vast territory in China they set up people's governments, carried out land reform, built up a people's army - the Chinese Red Army - and preserved and expanded the revolutionary forces of the Chinese people.
― "On Coalition Government" (April 24, 1945), Selected Works, Vol. III, p. 261.*

你们有许多的长处，有很大的功劳，但是你们切记不可以骄傲，你们被大家尊敬，是应当的，但是也容易因此引起骄傲。如果你们骄傲起来，不虚心，不再努力，不尊重人家，不尊重干部，不尊重群众，你们就会当不成英雄和模范了。过去已有一些这样的人，希望你们不要学他们。
——《必须学会做经济工作》（一九四五年一月十日），《毛泽东选集》第三卷第一零一三页
You have many good qualities and have rendered great service, but you must always remember not to become conceited. You are respected by all, and quite rightly, but this easily leads to conceit. If you become conceited, if you are not modest and cease to exert yourselves, and if you do not respect others, do not respect the cadres and the masses, then you will cease to be heroes and models. There have been such people in the past, and I hope you will not follow their example.
― "We Must Learn to Do Economic Work" (January 10, 1945), Selected Works, Vol. III, p. 239.

你们在消灭敌人的斗争中，在恢复和发展工农业生产的斗争中，克服了很多的艰难困苦，表现了极大的勇敢、智慧和积极性。你们是全中华民族的模范人物，是推动各方面人民事业胜利前进的骨干，是人民政府的可靠支柱和人民政府联系广大群众的桥梁。
——《代表中共中央在全国战斗英雄和劳动模范代表会议上的祝词》（一九五零年九月二十五日），一九五零年九月二十六日《人民日报》
In the fight to wipe out the enemy and to restore and increase industrial and agricultural production, you have overcome many difficulties and hardships and demonstrated immense courage, wisdom and initiative. You are models for the whole Chinese nation, the backbone of the victorious advance of the people's cause in all spheres, pillars of support to the People's Government and bridges linking the People's Government with the great masses.
― "Message of greetings on behalf of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party to the Meeting of Representatives of National Combat Heroes and Model Workers" (September 25, 1950).

我们中华民族有同自己的敌人血战到底的气概。有在自力更生的基础上光复旧物的决心，有自立于世界民族之林的能力。

We the Chinese nation have the spirit to fight the enemy to the last drop of our blood, the determination to recover our lost territory by our own efforts, and the ability to stand on our own feet in the family of nations.
