A Short Preface to “Six Ci Poems” [1] (April 27, 1962) These six ci poems were composed on horseback between 1929 and 1931, but I had completely forgotten about them.
Comrades in the editorial department of People’s Literature collected them and sent them to me, requesting that they be published.
After making a few minor revisions, I am now submitting them for publication.
Mao Zedong April 27, 1962 Printed from the May 12, 1962 issue of the People’s Daily.
Originally appeared in the May 1962 issue of People’s Literature. (Based on Mao Zedong’s manuscript.)
