Chinese Translation?


Hi- I recently received a bag from Beijing as a gift, and the lettering is in Chinese. I am curious as to what exactly it says. I have uploaded a picture of it to photobucket, and the link is below if anyone has any idea how to decipher their characters. Thanks!

It's a famous quote by Mao Zedong, it means "Serving the people."

"Serve the People" or "Service for the People" (simplified Chinese: 涓轰汉姘戞湇鍔? pinyin: w猫i r茅nm铆n f煤w霉) is a political slogan which first appeared in Mao-era China. It originates from the title of a speech by Mao Zedong, delivered on September 8, 1944.

The concept of "Serving the People", together with "Never benefit oneself, always benefit others" and "Tireless struggle" became the core principles of the Communist Party of China

Although less often used in China today, the slogan still plays some important ceremonial roles. It is inscribed on the screen wall facing the front entrance of the Zhongnanhai compound, which houses the headquarters of the Central People's Government and the Communist Party of China.

Unfortunately, the meaning doesn't ring a bell to most people these days, in China and around the world...
