I find myself in need for the context behind this meme
Hi, PeterExplainstheJoke here.
Mao’s movement was getting their ass absolutely beat in the Civil War, which forced the PLA into a devastating fighting retreat in which they crossed thousands of kilometers on foot in order to reach fallback strongholds in Yanan, also called the Long March.
The meme is making the joke that Mao and the PLA actually performed this Long March because they had forgotten their Percs, a common party drug, back at their Yanan bases.
I can't find the link to it now, but does someone know that battle lines map style youtube vid that shows the progress of the civil war?
I have a good one saved, but sadly it starts post-1945, like this one

Its hard to find any one the first phase of the civil war.

There's also this documentary series on the long march which is really good:
