Mr. Zhaosheng:
I have carefully read your three letters and apologize for my delayed response. It is still most suitable for you to continue working in the countryside; there is no need for you to come to Beijing. Your family’s financial difficulties may be resolved during the upcoming land reform. I am no longer clear about the specific position you held in the Heavy Transport Battalion in the past, so I would appreciate it if you could remind me. Is Mao Ziqi [2] still alive? Wishing you good health!
