Translator’s Note: There is something aesthetically pleasing about this calligraphy. Although “Revolutionary” in nature (and dialectically cutting through material reality) there is something timeless and deeply traditional. With a consummate ease – Mao Zedong issues edicts from Beijing which are relayed to Korea and turned into material actions on the ground. The “thought” and the “action” are like “mirror” and “reflection”. This is how the Chinese people regained their greatness after a hundred years of imperial subjugation at the hands of the West. Mao once wrote, “There will always be monsters that fire poisonous arrows – and there will always be people who dare to stand-up and catch them!” The anti-Socialist US re-deployed its army that had defeated the Imperial Japanese and Nazi Germans (behind the British and Soviets) – but it failed miserably in the face of a united China whose troops were motivated by Marxist-Leninism!
