Comrade Zhou Yang:

(1) The inscription[2] has been carried out as instructed, but it should not be printed for distribution elsewhere, because the tasks of other places are not all in the countryside. (2) When you set out to participate in the land reform, you may find some time for a talk; at present, there is no time.
