"Long Live Chairman Mao for 10,000 Years" (zh. 万岁 毛主席) is a Chinese patriotic song popularised during the Cultural Revolution. The title of the song is based on a popular slogan of the Red Guard, and was used widely during the Cultural Revolution in public demonstrations and rallies. However, since the end of the Mao era, the song has become more scarcely used due to its links to Mao's pervasive personality cult. The instrumental version of the song is still occasionally used. It is also used by the Young Pioneers of China and occasionally by the Communist Youth League of China.
