Maoist Internationalist Ministry of Prisons: 

It was not plain sailing for the comrades of the Party branch to study and apply Chairman Mao's philosophic works. Their course was full of twists and turns. How should they study? This was their first question. They began by reading through the article paragraph by paragraph, much as students in school might, without stressing how the specific problems at hand were to be solved. Every evening, sitting around the Party branch secretary Chiang Ju-wang, the Party members listened while he read out "On Contradiction-". Though Chiang had only a few years of schooling, it was a little more than his comrades' average education. This was the first time he had read a philosophic essay. Many of the words were unfamiliar, and he stumbled along, while the listeners felt dizzy. What was philosophy after all? What was contradiction? They read for several evenings, but still could not understand.
