I could make out just enough to recognize that it says
{共产|gòngchǎn}{主义|zhǔyì}{万岁|wànsuì} — long live communism
{世界|shìjiè}{人民|rénmín}{大团结|dàtuánjié}{万岁|wànsuì} — long live the great unity of the peoples of the world [note: one of the placards on the walls of the Tiananmen]
Thank you ❤️
Another note: {万岁|wànsuì} (trad. 萬歲) literally means "ten thousand years" or "myriad years" and is equivalent to Japanese {万歳|ばんざい} banzai and Korean 만세 manse. It was historically reserved for the emperor, which gives extra significance to its usage by the PRC.
In WWII movies they usually subtitle "h*** H*****" with “希特勒万岁”
万岁 started to be used for the country during the ROC. It wasn't something invented by the CPC.
liberals of the period can have little a credit for antimonarchism
Thanks for the correction.
