Tips

history

From Mao Zedong's 1930 poem 《渔家傲·反第一次大“围剿”》, written after the Red Army's first counter-encirclement campaign in Jiangxi: 唤起工农千百万，同心干，不周山下红旗乱 — 'rousing the workers and peasants by the millions, all as one; beneath Mount Buzhou, red flags flutter in the wind.' A staple line in revolutionary rhetoric.

usage

千百万 reads 'hundreds of thousands and millions' — a classical way to say 'countless multitudes.' The whole phrase is usually cited in the context of mass political mobilization.
