Dear comrades of the Central Committee of the Xinjiang League for the
Defense of Peace and Democracy:
The first group of delegates representing the people of Xinjiang in the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference—comrade Ahamaitikiang,
vice-chairman of the Provincial Government of Xinjiang, Comrade Izhakbek,
commander-in-chief of the National Army of the Tacheng-Ili-Ashan regions,
Comrade Abduklimu, member of the Central Committee of the Xinjiang
League for the Defense of Peace and Democracy, Comrade Dalerhan, deputy
commander-in-chief of the National Army [of the Tacheng-Ili-Ashan region]
and Comrade Luo Zhi of the Xinjiang Sino-Soviet Cultural Association—have

unfortunately met with disaster in an airplane accident on their way to Beijing in September 1949. This is a great loss to the people of Xinjiang and to
the Chinese people. For this I express my profound grief. While they lived,
comrade Ahamaitikiang and the other four comrades fought heroically for the
cause of the liberation of the people of Xinjiang. In the end they gave their lives
for the cause of establishing the People’s Republic of China. They are worthy of
the memory of the whole Chinese people forever. Eternal glory to Comrades
Ahamaitikiang, Izhakbek, Abduklimu, Dalerhan and Luo Zhi!
