Commentary on the Distribution of the Henan Provincial Party Committee’s Report on the Rectification and Accounting Work in Rural People’s Communes [1] (July 10, 1959) To be distributed to all comrades for reference. Mao Zedong, July 10, printed from the manuscript. Notes [1] In this report dated June 22, 1959, the CPC Henan Provincial Committee informed the Central Committee as well as party committees at various levels—provincial, municipal, and county—that our province had essentially brought its rectification and accounting work in the people’s communes to a successful conclusion before the wheat harvest. The entire accounting campaign progressed in a healthy and rapid manner, consistently integrating accounting with production, strengthening leadership with mass mobilization, clarifying economic accounts with addressing cadres’ ideological and工作作风 issues, conducting settlements concurrently with payments, and carrying out criticism alongside corrective measures. As a result, not only were economic accounts thoroughly settled, but problems related to cadres’ ideology and工作作风 were also resolved, and numerous undesirable elements were exposed. Following the rectification and accounting efforts, the countryside has undergone profound transformation, presenting a vibrant new outlook and ushering in a fresh upsurge in production. The immediate task now is to further consolidate and expand upon the achievements of this rectification work while simultaneously resolving any remaining issues through production. 3£´
