Mao Zedong once said a word to the effect that if we don't occupy ourselves, the enemy will occupy us. What are the exact words?

The original words are: if we don't occupy the cultural and ideological positions, the enemy will occupy them.

This sentence means that the culture of a country and a nation is extremely important. If we don't cherish our own culture and develop it well, the consequences will be very serious.

Cultural education is also extremely important. Colleges and universities must stick to the position of cultural education. China's history of more than one hundred years since modern times has proved and will continue to prove that only Marxism–Leninism, especially China Marxism–Leninism and his political party, China Producers Party, can save China and develop China.

The focus of cultural education is to build * * * knowledge among the young generation with extremely diverse ideas. How to gain a firm foothold in the theoretical and academic circles with the "well-known" cloud flag not only tests the party committees in colleges and universities, but also tests the public opinion orientation of the whole society.
