Today, the people's Yangge troupe of this city, the municipal government, the municipal chamber of commerce, and the municipal mass organizations have come here to Yangjialing, the seat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, to present banners. This sentiment is very good, and on behalf of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, I express our welcome. Just now, you all presented banners and spoke many good words; this sentiment is very good. We Communists must work even more diligently and do our work better than before in response to you. Chairman Mao said: At present, the whole world and all of China are uniting as one to fight the fascists. The Party, government, army, and people of our Border Region are already united as one, and this year we must unite even more as one, to strive for increasing production, consolidating the rear, and overthrowing Japanese imperialism. The Border Region has already made progress, and this year it must make more progress. Communists are willing to become one with the people of the Border Region, to listen to the opinions of the people, so that our work may be done even better.
