All language subtitles for Chinese Nuclear Testing Film (1966)

Chairman Mao said, let those internal
and external reactionary cliques face us

in trepidation.

When they say that this cannot be done,
and that cannot be done, ignore them.

With indomitable and indefatigable
efforts, the Chinese people will

steadily attain their objective.

The sun rises from the east every
morning with rosy rays in myriad shapes.

Our great socialist fatherland is in
a... Our

great teacher, great leader, great
commander, and great helmsman, Chairman

Mao, is the red sun in our hearts.

Under the leadership of Chairman Mao and
the Chinese Communist Party...

under the guidance of the general line
for socialist construction of the party

to drive hard and drive to advance and
to get greater faster better and more

economical results and under the three
great movements of class struggle

production struggle and scientific
testing our Chinese people have achieved

great successes our nation's people's
communes are further developing and

consolidating in the wide countryside
there is revolutionary outlook

everywhere

And there is laughter everywhere because
of bumper crops.

They sing, learn how to do things on a
large scale.

And have the courage to do things on a
large scale.

Gather the red flowers which are
blooming everywhere on a large scale.

The broad masses of workers on the
industrial war front.

are fiercely engaged in
revolutionization and fiercely breaking

loose from foreignization to choose
their own industrial development path.

They are applying maximum effort. They
dare to apply maximum effort.

This spirit of applying maximum effort
is prevalent throughout the whole

nation. Throughout our great fatherland,
the heat of revolution is generating

everywhere, and a new all-around
leap-forward situation is emerging.

Our national defense industry, under the
correct leadership of the Party's

Central Committee, the great leadership
of Chairman Mao, Comrade Lin Bao, the

close war buddy of Chairman Mao, and
Comrade Zhou Enlai, is progressing at a

thousand Li a day.

Preparations for our nation's first
nuclear test are intensely underway.

Mao Zedong's thoughts guide us in all
our work.

In response to Vice Chairman Lin Bao's
call, the comrades raise high the great

red flag of Mao Zedong's ideology,
creatively study and apply Chairman

Mao's work, and apply themselves
vigorously.

Service men in the engineering corps,
braving bitter winds and sandstorms, are

struggling day and night, overcoming
difficulties.

to erect various buildings and
installations for the explosion.

the scientific and technical personnel
even with crude instruments because of a

lack of sophisticated instruments are
carrying on preparatory work in chemical

analysis

our

nation's broad masses of workers
engineers technical personnel

scientists and officers and men of the
People's Liberation Army all

energetically put their efforts together
to make a large quantity of instruments

and equipment.

Here the various instruments are
undergoing a final check before the

Senate.

These instruments laid out on the site
will accurately record the various

results of the test.

Sherman now has taught us that when the
enemy sharpens his sword, he must

sharpen our sword.

We not only must have our own atomic
bomb, but we must under the threat of

the enemy's atomic bomb acquire the
capability which we should have to

destroy the enemy and the knowledge to
preserve ourselves.

The comrades ready for the test are
intensely engaged in training

activities.

Fighters armed with Mao Zedong's
thoughts are not deterred by any

difficulty.

For training, they picked the hottest
time in the day to march in boiling

fans.

In each training session, how

much sweat do they prepare?

During the intense struggle, they always
maintain the glorious traditions of our

army, resolutely struggling in spite of
hardship and displaying the cheerful

revolutionary spirit.

Comrades of the cultural and arts troops
penetrate deeply into the area to

conduct propaganda and stimulating
activities.

The comrades, using discarded lumber to
make poles and grass strings to weave a

net, engage in mass physical exercise.

In the whole test area, the atmosphere
is enveloped with a spirit of unity,

tension, solemnity, and animation.

Comrades of the quartermaster corps are
delivering supplies straight to the door

with the single purpose of servicing the
whole front wholeheartedly.

Streamline trains reach the site and
sewing machines are moved to the

barracks.

The testing day is approaching and all
types of equipment and arms for testing

are transported to the site

in

this testing not only will all kinds of
testing equipment and installations be

used to measure the magnitudes of the
atomic bomb but four categories of

equipment and installation for national
defense engineering animals and civil

defense will be subjected to testing.

At 1500 hours on October 16, 1964, the
event which shocked the whole world

finally takes place.

Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.

Our

nation's

first atomic bomb is a success.

The atomic bomb designed and made by our
own nation is a complete success.

Our nation's first nuclear test.

surpasses the levels of the first
nuclear tests of the United States,

Britain, and France.

This is the result of the efforts of our
nation's workers, engineers, technical

personnel, scientists, officers and men
of the People's Liberation Army, and all

those concerned who willingly raised
high the great red flag of Mao Zedong's

thought, gave prominence to policy,
creatively studied and used Chairman

Mao's work.

and concentrated their efforts to wage a
battle of annihilation with united and

vigorous cooperation.

This is a gigantic success of Mao
Zedong's thought.

This is a gigantic success of the
general line.

Long live the Chinese Communist Party.

Long live Chairman Mao.

Personnel and cars entering the
contaminated area of the explosion for

recovery work are given strict
examination.

These women comrades are glad to join
the ranks of combat.

Gathering the contaminated area is an
intense battle of racing against minutes

and seconds to complete the task.

Chairman Mao says, in our work, we must
be enthusiastic but calm, and intense

but orderly.

See how intensely and earnestly they
attend to their work.

They successfully returned.

The people greet them intimately and
warmly.

In the afternoon of October 16, 1964,

Premier Chou announces the news about
our nation's successful experiments in

testing its first atomic bomb.

The nuclear monopoly and nuclear tyranny
of the U.S. imperialists and the

revisionists have been thoroughly
banqueted.

Their criminal attempts to block and
prevent our nation's people from

grasping nuclear weapons have been
thoroughly smashed.

Work for the second nuclear test has
begun.

The comrades, not fearing hard labor and
fatigue and continual fighting, are

eagerly engaged in the new battle.

The combat teams are given pre-combat
political indoctrination to prepare for

an intense struggle maneuver.

At present, the U.S. imperialists are
shifting their warlike

strategy to Asia.

They are maniacally expanding the war of
aggression in Vietnam, and they are

preparing to impose war on the heads of
the Chinese people.

Chairman Mao says, the imperialists have
humiliated us so severely that we must

seriously take them to account.

We must be prepared to fight early, to
fight on a large scale, to fight great

nuclear war, to fight all kinds of war.

and on several fronts.

Another stimulating and jubilant day
arrives on May 14, 1965.

Our nation successfully explodes its
second nuclear bomb in the sky over the

western part of our country.

This is an extremely accurate, extremely
successful explosion.

It demonstrates the great result of
cooperation among leaders, specialists,

and the masses.

and of the cooperation of education with
research.

This is another victory song for Mao
Zedong's thought.

To gain military experience under atomic
conditions, the various tactical and

maneuvering units enter the area of the
explosion to conduct tactical maneuvers.

Following Chairman Mao's teachings, they
go forward without fear of sacrifices to

overwhelm difficulties and grasp
victory.

Chairman Mao has always taught us that
weapons are an important factor in war,

but they are not the decisive factor.

The decisive factor is not material, but
man.

Vice Chairman Lin Bao points out that
under nuclear conditions, the greater

the power is, the more intense the close
fighting and night fighting would be.

Regardless of offensive or defensive,
the final decisive battle will be one of

close combat.

at 100 or 200 meters.

At that time, it will depend on who is
tougher, who can take a position, who

can hold it, who dares to see red on his
band.

At that time, it will depend on one's
proletarian consciousness and one's

courage.

We have the spiritual atomic bomb, which
is impossible for the enemy to acquire,

and we also have the material atomic
bomb.

No enemy can defeat it.

If the imperialists dare to impose war
on our head, we will finally break the

sinews and bones of the aggressors and
thoroughly and completely destroy all of

them.

After the successful second nuclear
testing, work on the third nuclear

testing starts.

Comrades on the testing site resolutely
pursue the working styles of four first

and three eighth.

The political air is thick in the entire
testing area.

Read Chairman Mao's book.

Obey Chairman Mao's orders.

Follow Chairman Mao's principles in
doing things and be a good fighter for

Chairman Mao.

This becomes the common behavior of all
the comrades on the testing ground.

They always carry Chairman Mao's work
with them and study them everywhere and

anytime. They resolutely and thoroughly
implement the directives of Vice

Chairman Lin Dao on giving prominence to
politics and the five principles.

They study hard and apply their
knowledge to their work.

Here the cadres and servicemen are
exchanging their experiences in the

creative study and use of Chairman Mao's
work.

They realize that Chairman Mao's sayings
are honest, most powerful, every

sentence contains truth, every sentence
is worth 10,000 other sentences, and Mao

Zedong's thought gets results when
applied in any situation.

The kitchen comrades also put forth
their efforts for this nuclear test.

Look at the sandstorm and the howling
wind, how turbulent they are, and the

skies and earth, how dark they are.

But who cares?

No matter how great the difficulties
are, they cannot be greater than the

determination of fighters who are armed
with Mao Zedong's thoughts.

They, from the beginning to the end,
resolutely stay at their fighting post.

Chairman Mao says the Chinese people are
not even afraid of death.

How could they be afraid of difficulty?

Our comrades, cadres and fighters,
following Chairman Mao's teachings of

the spirit of the foolish old man who
moved the mountain, are working together

intensely to complete great engineering
work.

The comrades, remembering Chairman Mao's
teachings, blend their sky-high

revolutionary fervor with their
scientific attitudes to strictly check

all types of instruments and
installations.

These are the materials and equipment
for civilian uses to be tested.

They are preparing

the different animals for participation
in the test.

the stimulating time 1600 hours on may 9
1966 will soon be here

our nation's first nuclear bomb
containing thermo materials explodes

successfully.

From the time of the successful
explosion of our first atomic bomb to

the successful explosion of our first
thermonuclear bomb, It took us only a

little over one year.

Such great leap forward progress proves
that the Chinese people, equipped with

Mao Zedong's thought, dare to take a
road never before taken by their

predecessors, dare to scale a peak never
before scaled by their predecessors, and

are able to equal any miracle done by
anyone else.

The results of the third nuclear test
again prove that the power of our

nuclear weapon is tremendous.

Nonetheless, it also again proves that
with adequate protection, complete

defense against nuclear weapons is
possible.

Look at these two dogs on the ground.

They are much safer than those dogs on
the surface.

They had only an iron plate coated with
lime over them.

After the explosion, they are not harmed
by the radiation.

These chickens even laid eggs after the
nuclear explosion.

The monkeys in the sheltered
headquarters leaped only once when the

fierce explosion occurred.

There is no damage to the electric
lights and electric wires in the

sheltered headquarters.

The sheltered headquarters is adequate
protection against atomic attacks.

The exposed buildings on the surface are
seriously damaged, but the nearby semi

-underground buildings are in good
condition.

The earth scorched by the explosion can
still nourish plants.

The seeds exposed to the explosion can
still germinate and grow.

Damaged crops can live and even grow
luxuriously.

Khrushchev and his revisionists
recklessly said that the atomic bomb

would destroy all mankind.

This is nothing but a devilish lie.

They just want to bully the
revolutionary people with their nuclear

bomb We proudly received the wonderful
news Victory belongs to the great

glorious and correct Chinese Communist
Party Glory belongs to our most most

beloved chairman Mao

After the third nuclear test, our
government solemnly reiterates that

China conducts necessary but restricted
nuclear tests to develop nuclear weapons

to oppose the nuclear tyranny and
nuclear threats of the U.S. imperialists

and their cooperators, and to oppose the
connivance of the United States and the

Soviet Union to monopolize nuclear
weapons.

to crush the revolutionary struggles of
all the oppressed people and oppressed

races.

At any time or under any circumstance,
China will never use the nuclear weapon

first.

The Chinese people and the Chinese
government will, as they always have

continuously, unswervingly struggle
together with all the peace-loving

peoples and nations in the whole world
and for the lofty goal of all-out

prohibition and thorough destruction.

of all nuclear weapons.

The morale of the revolutionary people
in the whole world is bolstered by the

successful capability of the Chinese
people to control nuclear weapons.

This punctures the pride of the
imperialists, the neo-revisionists, and

the reactionary cliques of various
nations.

For this, we have received numerous
felicitations from fraternal parties,

friendly countries, government leaders,
people groups, and enlightened

personages.

congratulating us on our great
achievement in the third nuclear test.

They cheer fervently because the nuclear
weapons in the hands of the Chinese

people are ones to be used for the
protection of world peace, for inspiring

the revolutionary people in the world to
struggle against the United States.

This is a victory of Mao Zedong's
thought and the victory of the general

line. Shout aloud with fervent emotion.

Sing aloud with fervent emotion.

We must always remember Chairman Mao's
victims.

The atomic bomb is a paper tiger used by
the U.S.

reactionary clique to frighten the
people.

It appears ferocious, but actually it is
not.

Of course, the atomic bomb is a
large-scale mass-killing weapon, but

what decides the outcome of a war is not
one or two new weapons, but the people.
