NEVER FORGET
(Qianwan buyao wangji)

Beijing Film Studio, 1964
Director: Xie Tieli

     
    Father: Are you thinking you will be safe once you send your mother-in-law away? No. What a simplistic view. It’s not a problem with just your mother-in-law. It is a persistent influence of the old society. People like your mother-in-law can still be found everywhere. They are harming the health of your mind without you realizing it. The Party wants to train you as proletarian successors, while they always want to train you as bourgeois successors. This is a form of class struggle, a struggle in which no guns or cannon are heard. It is class struggle in the guise of every-day chitchat. It is class struggle that is hard to detect. It is class struggle that is easy to forget. Never, ever forget!
