Letter to Ren Bishi[1]

(December 25, 1941)

I have revised the land directive, changing it into a version that can be publicly issued. Please review it, have it transcribed, and circulate it to the comrades for their perusal. The original text was unclear and imprecise, and contained many repetitions and omissions. After revision, it seems somewhat better. The three reference opinions also have some problems and will be submitted to you after further revision.

[1] This is the main content of Mao Zedong's letter to Ren Bishi concerning the revision of the draft of "Directive No. 1 of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Land Policy in the Anti-Japanese Base Areas."
