Refers to the experience of the Yunnan Military Region of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army concerning the re-examination of demobilized soldiers. In the course of re-examination, through multifaceted work, they retained in the troops all cadres from the rank of deputy squad leader and above, as well as able-bodied and strong soldiers.
