Features: "Resist U.S. aggression and defend the motherland," "Man's courage knows no bounds, and the land yields as much as one dares," "Never forget class struggle," and "Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth"—some were high-pitched, some unrestrained, some stern, and some majestic. There was youth, talent, hope, belief, reason, and blood, as well as immaturity, restlessness, fanaticism, and even wildness. Every slogan was a piece of unforgettable history. Under the slogans, China either sang victory songs, underwent chaotic turmoil, or achieved new brilliance. Every slogan was a deeply etched chapter of life. Under the slogans, the Chinese people felt proud, arrogant, or introspective. Thus, each slogan turned into a series of chiseled murals, embedded in the foundation stones of history, enduring through time and space.
