Ten thousand years is too long to seize the day. What does this sentence mean?

10,000 years is too long to seize the day, which means that we are not afraid of the greatest difficulty in building a new socialist China, even if it is 10,000 years, but time waits for no one. We must race against time and speed up the construction from now on. In the popular words at that time, it was: "go all out, strive for the upper reaches, and build socialism quickly and well."

Introduction to the original text

Ten thousand years is too long to seize the day. This sentence comes from Mao Zedong's "Man Jianghong and Comrade Guo Moruo". Its original text is: a small globe, several flies hit the wall. Hum, a few screams, a few sobs. It is not easy for an ant to exaggerate the country and shake a tree. The west wind leaves Chang 'an and the cymbals fly. How many things are never urgent; Heaven and earth turn, and time waits for no one. Ten thousand years is too long to seize the day. The four seas are turbulent and angry, and the five continents are shocked. All pests will be swept away and invincible.

Make an appreciative comment

From beginning to end, this word runs through the ideological will of opposing imperialism and hegemonism and defending Marxism–Leninism and proletarian internationalism. The last film satirizes and exposes the hegemonist's anti-China behavior with allusions, and its style is cold and humorous. The next part, which combines scenery, lyricism and discussion in one furnace, eulogizes the surging world revolution with enthusiasm and has a magnificent style. The upper and lower pieces are integrated into one, forming an artistic feature of ups and downs, showing a heroic beauty. No matter from the content or from the artistic point of view, it can be called Mao Zedong's masterpiece.
