I have read it.
Comrade Enlai read it and return it to Comrade Lin Biao.

[1] Lin Biao sent this letter to Mao Zedong and also wrote a letter to Mao Zedong, saying:
"Chairman: Tan Zhenlin's recent thinking has become so muddled and degenerate that it is
completely beyond our expectations." This was Mao Zedong's comment on Tan Zhenlin's
letter.

















4 Tan Zhenlin (1902 – 1983) joined the Communist Party in 1926 and became a senior general in the PLA.
During the Great Leap Forward he was in charge of agricultural work and supported the “ultra-Left” communist
wind of Liu Shaoqi. He had been elected to the Politburo in 1958. In February 1967, he was a leader of the
“February Countercurrent”, but was allowed to resume work in 1975 because of his opposition to Lin Biao, and
was re-elected to the Central Committee at the Tenth National Congress held that year. He supported Deng
Xiaoping’s removal of Hua Guofeng.
