Comrade Xu XX’s speech and Comrade XX’s comments are hereby circulated for the information of all comrades at the central level. It is hoped that upon your return, you will further circulate these documents more widely to enhance publicity. Comrades, this is the young generation issuing a challenge to our senior cadres. Shouldn’t we, after all, learn something from them? The full text of the speech is permeated with dialectical materialism and consistently opposes idealism and all forms of metaphysics. For many years we have not seen such an excellent piece. He was speaking about playing ball, but what we ought to learn from him pertains to theory, politics, the economy, culture, and the military. If we fail to learn from the younger generation, we shall be finished.
