Letter to Hu Qiaomu

(November 1948)

Qiaomu:

Please consider issuing this document as appropriate.

Please pay attention to writing some comprehensive reports. The method is to use a suitable topic, such as the occupation of Nanyang[1] and the like, as a vehicle for writing. Also, have the responsible persons of branch offices in various localities (ordinary reporters cannot write this type of dispatch) or responsible Party personnel learn to write this kind of comprehensive report. Yet we have long lacked such reports.

Mao Zedong
Immediately

[1] Refers to the news dispatch "Our Central Plains Army Occupies Nanyang" issued by the Xinhua News Agency on November 5, 1948.

Li Jie

With regards,

Respectfully.

Please pay attention to writing some comprehensive ones. The method is to borrow a usual topic, much like a bank has ordinary bookkeeping, to write these several dispatches. And additionally, have the responsible persons of branch societies in various localities or responsible Party personnel meet to write this comprehensive series. Yet we have long lacked such report series.
