Comrade Ding Yi: [1]

I have read this document, [2] and I think it can be used. It can be brought up at the upcoming meeting [3] to solicit opinions and see if there are any parts that need revision.

The example of Lu Xun in the document may be omitted.

[1] Ding Yi, i.e., Lu Dingyi, then head of the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee and head of the Central Five-Person Group.
[2] Refers to the draft directive of the CPC Central Committee on launching a struggle to eliminate hidden counter-revolutionaries, submitted by Lu Dingyi for review on June 16, 1955.
[3] Refers to the planned meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.
[4] The original draft directive of the CPC Central Committee submitted by Lu Dingyi contained a passage stating: "The characteristic of hidden counter-revolutionaries is that on the surface they go along with us, even praise us and flatter us," and said that Hu Feng had used such methods to deceive Lu Xun and gain his trust.
