Talk with Officials of Peasant Associations[1]

(January 1927)

On my way from Yintian to Shaoshan, I saw that the peasants have all risen up and have set off a great rural revolution. In the past, there were many "vagrants" at the Rain God Temple; now there are none. Some of them have joined the peasant associations, and some are working. This is a very big step forward.
