Lenin and I have something in common.

Vladimir Ilich Lenin (I can't be bothered to spell that name properly unless I happened to by accident) and I have something in common:  our words are used to inspire Chinese primary school students.

On the outer walls of a primary school in Wuxi, in big lettering, the following words, I can take credit for saying, can be seen:

AWAKEN CURIOUSITY

BESTOW WISDOM

INSPIRE CREATIVITY

Any time, I go to the school I look at the words with pride.

But in the hallways of the school, there is also a picture of Lenin with words below which I assume to be his and which I assume are meant to inspire.
