(July 20, 1958)
Leap Forward
[1]
*Yuejin* (Leap Forward) magazine was a theoretical journal sponsored by the Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, first published on July 1, 1958.
In July 1959, Mao Zedong convened a meeting at Lushan. During the meeting, Shui Jing, wife of Yang Shangkui, then First Secretary of the former Jiangxi Provincial Committee, requested that Mao Zedong write the title for *Yuejin*. Mao Zedong inscribed the magazine’s title, and along with the calligraphy, he enclosed a letter that read: “Comrade Shui Jing: I have written these two characters as requested. I wonder if they are usable?”
