The Red Guards were encouraged to carry the Little Red Book, which contains a collection of Mao’s quotations. A popular quotation from the book reads as follows: The world is yours, as well as ours, but in the last analysis, it is yours. You young people, full of vigour and vitality, are in the bloom of life, like the sun at eight or nine in the morning. Our hope is placed on you. Which group in China is Mao addressing with this quotation? Why do you think Mao would want to gain the support of this group?
