Letter to Chen Fengxian [I]

(May 8, 1950)

Comrade Yijun:

Your letter from last November has been received, and it gave me great comfort. I hope you will strive to improve your studies and continue to work for the cause of the people. I am not clear about Qi Qin's situation. You may write to the Political Department of the Fourth Field Army in Hankou to inquire, and perhaps you can get a general idea. This is my reply.

Wishing you good health!

Mao Zedong

May 8
