Description
This is a photo taken in Xi'an, China. A tourist was carrying a bag with the Chinese characters that means "Serve the People". It is a political slogan which first appeared in Mao-era China. It originates from the title of a speech by Mao Zedong, delivered on September 8, 1944. The concept of "Serving the People", together with other slogans such as "Never benefit oneself, always benefit others" and "Tireless struggle" became core principles of the Communist Party of China. During the Cultural Revolution, the speech was widely read. Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai was frequently seen wearing a pin emblazoned with the slogan "Serve the People" next to a portrait of Mao Zedong. Today, the slogan is often seen in fashion accessories like Mao-era style schoolbags.
