Telegram to Wang Ruofei[1]

(June 18, 1945)

Please copy and send the reply telegram to the seven participating councillors.[2] It is estimated that after Chiang receives this news, he may not necessarily allow them to come. If he still permits them to come, even if there is no concrete content and they only come for a visit, they should still be welcomed, and you should strive to accompany them here.

[1] This is the main content of Mao Zedong’s telegram to Wang Ruofei.

[2] Refers to the telegram of June 18 from Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai replying to the seven participating councillors: Chu Fucheng, Huang Yanpei, Leng Yu, Wang Yunwu, Fu Sinian, Zuo Shunsheng, and Zhang Bojun. The telegram expressed welcome for them to come to Yan’an to discuss state affairs.
