INSCRIPTION IN COMMEMORATION OF THE SECOND ANNIVERSARY OF THE AN-WU YOUTH
TRAINING CLASS
5 October 1939
[Text] The young people with their fresh blood and youthful vigor who
have joined the revolutionary ranks, be they Communist Party members or
nonmembers, are all valuable. Without them, the revolutionary ranks
cannot develop, and the revolution cannot succeed. Nevertheless, the
natural shortcoming of the young comrades is their lack of experience,
while revolutionary experience must begin with participating personally
in the revolutionary struggle and performing the work of the lowest level.
After a number of years of concrete work, without the least bit of falsity,
experience will belong to those who are inexperienced!

To the commemoration of the second anniversary of the youth training
class.
