So, it is long live the CCP?
And why not?
Can the Chinese forget the following?
Chen Boda's 'Four Greats', Mao as the great teacher, the great leader, the great (or supreme) commander, and the great helmsman.
Or the song, song, "Sailing the seas depends on the helmsman, waging revolution depends on Mao Zedong Thought",
'Three Loyalties', which called for boundless loyalty to Chairman Mao, loyalty to Mao Zedong Thought and loyalty to Chairman Mao's revolutionary line.
other slogans ('The Four Boundlessness', 'Long Live ...', 'Eternal Life ...').
