Long Live Comrade Mao for Ten Thousand Years

"Long Live Comrade Mao for Ten Thousand Years" (simplified Chinese: 万岁 毛主席; traditional Chinese: 萬歲 毛主席; pinyin: Wànsuì máo zhǔxí) variously known in English as Long Live Chairman Mao for Ten Thousand Years or simple Long Live Chairman Mao is a Chinese patriotic song popularised during the Cultural Revolution. The title of the song is based on a popular slogan of the Red Guard, and was used widely during the Cultural Revolution in public demonstrations and rallies. However, since the end of the Mao era, the song has become more scarcely used due to its links to Mao's pervasive personality cult. However, the instrumental version of the song is still occasionally used.
