Daily News: Have you ever felt frustrated?
Chairman Gonzalo: No. I believe I have an almost innate optimistic spirit, and I focus more on understanding and advocating issues rather than feelings or frustration. On the contrary, I think I am very optimistic, and it is Marxism and Chairman Mao who have taught us that the people, especially Communist Party members, are all optimists. Whenever I encounter difficulties, I try to find the positive side or the possibility—no matter how slight—that the problem can be advanced under these circumstances, because nothing is completely black, and nothing is completely red. Even in the face of major setbacks—though we haven’t experienced them yet—there is always a positive side. The key is to learn from them and continue working based on that. You will always find someone supporting you, providing enthusiasm and help for the struggle, because communism unites people.
Daily News: Is there anything you fear?
Chairman Gonzalo: Fear? I think fear and no fear are a pair of contradictions. The key is to establish our ideology and release the courage within us. It is our ideology that makes us brave and gives us courage. In my view, no one is born brave; it is the social and class struggle that makes people and Communist Party members brave—it is class struggle, the proletariat, the Party, and our ideology. What is the greatest fear? Death? As a materialist, I know life will end one day. For me, the most important thing is to be an optimist, firmly believing that the work I am committed to will be continued by others until we achieve our ultimate goal: communism. Originally, I feared that we would have no successors, but when people have full confidence in the masses, this fear disappears. Ultimately, the most terrifying thing is not believing in the masses, but instead believing that oneself is indispensable, the center of the world. I think it is like this, and if a person is forged by the Party with proletarian ideology—mainly Maoism—he will understand that the masses are the creators of history, that the Party initiates revolution, and that the progress of history is inevitable. Revolution is the main trend, and then his fear will disappear. What remains is the sense of fulfillment from contributing with people and laying the foundation for communism to illuminate the entire Earth one day.
