At a banquet, Chairman Mao entertained the Soviet delegation, and he asked an interesting question: "Should we be loyal to the red watch represented by communism?" So as a red believer, who wants to join my chili party? "

He once said: "It can be said that people who engage in revolution can basically eat spicy.

"If you don't eat chili peppers, you won't have a revolution."

In July 1936, Mao Zedong entertained the American journalist Edgar Snow in Yan'an. Of course, the dishes served were not without chili peppers. Mao Zedong was happy for a while, so he sang a Hunan folk song "Chili Pepper Song" for the guests

You can't be a revolutionary if you don't eat chilies.

Critical reading for every communist

(I am pretty sure 3 of these are different translations of the same quote but I loved all of them enough to include them)

How can you have any revolution if you don't eat your chilis
