Improvement or expansion of production equipment should be resolved through state basic construction investment, and enterprise reward funds should not be used.

The Chinese workers' movement also began from the Changxindian railway factory. At that time, Zhang Guotao ran a workers' night school at the Changxindian factory, with an anarchist named Li Shi serving as the principal. I also visited there once.

(When reporting that many cadres are satisfied with existing achievements, lack the perspective of viewing issues in terms of development, are content with fulfilling tasks numerically, and lack serious study of national economic development and surrounding conditions, thus ideological work, organizational work, technical policies, and cadre training all lag behind development hopes)

Can you play mahjong? When playing mahjong, you must look at the tiles of the other three players and also see what tiles have already been played on the table before deciding what tile to play yourself.

×× has a large population, a big foundation, and no small achievements, so it is easy to become arrogant. Attention should be paid to this aspect.

In 1953, we opposed rash advance. The Central Committee proposed opposing subjectivism and also proposed opposing decentralism. Opposing decentralism has benefits and no harm. The benefit of opposing subjectivism is that it led to in-depth study of the work of various departments. How many years did the revolution go through in the past? It was only after arriving in Yan'an that we found an orientation that was neither Chen Duxiu's Right deviation nor the later "Left" deviation, but an orientation that was neither "Left" nor Right. That was found at great cost. Only one base area remained in the Soviet Area, and the White Areas were almost entirely wiped out. In Yan'an, we also found the correct attitude toward relations outside the Party—neither uniting with all nor struggling against all, neither only "uniting" without "struggling" nor only "struggling" without "uniting." For intra-Party relations, it was no longer "merciless, cruel struggle." This was opposing the subjectivism of the past. We wonder whether subjectivism will be somewhat shortened in construction. Since opposing subjectivism in 1953, from 1953 to 1955, our understanding of reality advanced a step, but it brought a Right deviation. Of course, you adopt a forgiving attitude; you say the Central Committee's leadership is wise, and you yourselves made mistakes. Therefore, it was necessary to put forward the slogan of opposing Right deviation last year, starting first from agriculture and later also opposing Right deviation in the transformation of private industry and commerce. The Communist Party must turn back and forth; after a few more reversals, things will get better.

Right, people like us must constantly go to the site.

You yourselves must run schools!
