Read Mao Xuan's "A single spark can start a prairie fire"

Excerpts from golden sentences: 1. Although the subjective strength of China's revolution is weak now, all organizations of the reactionary ruling class based on China's backward and fragile social and economic organization are also weak. Second, there is an old saying in China: "A single spark can start a prairie fire." That is to say, although it has only a little strength now, it will develop rapidly, and its environment in China is not only possible, but also inevitable. Third, China is full of dry wood, which will soon burn into fire. A single spark is not far from the period of starting a prairie fire. Marxists are not fortune tellers. They should and can only provide a general direction for future development and change, and should not and cannot mechanically specify a time.

Reading comprehension 1. "Economic base determines superstructure" is not just empty talk, but applies to any organization and individual based on economic base. Two, the situation analysis should have the concept of unity of opposites and the development of contradictions. Grasp the essence through the phenomenon of things, as the saying goes: Petunia Petunia nose. Third, Marxism is not a fortune teller. You must never be a fortune teller when you are working. For example, it is concluded at a glance that this customer will not make a deal, for example, it is asserted at a glance that this business cannot develop. In fact, we all know that there are many fortune tellers in our daily work and life, including ourselves.

Recommended reason: A single spark can start a prairie fire. It was written in response to Lin Biao's New Year congratulatory letter at a critical period when the Red Army was faced with repeated battles and defeats against "encirclement and suppression", damaged morale and low revolution. Mainly to solve the problem of inconsistent understanding within the party and dispel the pessimism of some comrades within the party, Chairman Mao said: "I will hit the water for three thousand miles and live confidently for two hundred years." Heroic assertion, a spark of China revolution, will burn into a prairie fire. How wise and confident this is, and it is unprecedented wisdom. In addition, Chairman Mao used a lot of speculative methods of Marxist philosophy in this article to educate us on how to analyze the situation and how to look at problems. For example, the concept of unity of opposites, the concept of development, and the theory of contradiction, looking at the essence through phenomena, warn us that real Marxists must not be fortune tellers.
