Chiang Kai-shek — "The struggle against communism is a long and bitter one, but we must persevere."

"We shall never stop fighting so long as a single inch of our national territory remains under the Russians imperialists' iron heels and so long as a single Chinese remains under Communist tyranny."

"The future of China rests on the shoulders of our youth. They must be educated to be loyal, patriotic, and disciplined."

"I would rather have the whole country turn into a desert than give it over to the Communists."

"We must sacrifice our individual interests for the greater good of the nation."

"The military must be absolutely loyal to the party and the nation."
