Comrades Boda and Wang Li [2]:
This seems to warrant public reporting. Also, there's an editorial in Wenhui Daily titled
"Revolution Doesn't Distinguish Between Early and Late. [3] " It seems that, with slight
revisions, it could be reprinted in the People's Daily. Other Beijing newspapers have already
reprinted it. The People's Daily doesn't seem to have a strong political sense.

[1] This comment was written in the 1334th issue of "Kuaibao," published by the Cultural
Revolution Group Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on
February 25, 1967. The article, "Another New Form in the Great Unity: Guiyang Cotton Mill's
Integration According to Administrative Systems Has Proven Results," stated that after
seizing power, the Guiyang Cotton Mill had implemented integration based on
administrative units, such as workshops, which had a significant impact on promoting both
the Cultural Revolution and production. They called this integration "centralized great unity,"
and it was a new form of the great unity. On March 1, 1967, the People's Daily published this
article, retitled "Using Mao Zedong Thought as the Soul of the Great Unity! Guiyang Cotton
Mill's Integration According to Administrative Departments Has Significantly Strengthened
Organizational Discipline, Emerging a New Look in the Revolution and Production." On the
same day, the People's Daily also published an editorial entitled "A Good Form of the Great
Unity of Proletarian Revolutionaries."
[2] Boda, also known as Chen Boda, was then a member of the Standing Committee of the
Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and head of the Central Cultural Revolution
Group. Wang Li was then a member of the Central Cultural Revolution Group.
[3] This refers to an editorial published in Wenhui Daily on February 18, 1967, originally
titled "Rebellion Does Not Distinguish Between Early and Late" and reprinted in the People's
Daily on February 20, 1967. The editorial states that revolutions may come sooner or later,
and rebellions may occur at different times. Our attitude is: Regardless of the time of
revolution, regardless of the time of rebellion, we warmly welcome genuine revolution and
genuine rebellion. Rebellion today, welcome today; rebellion tomorrow, welcome tomorrow.
All cadres willing to revolutionize should follow Chairman Mao's teaching of "seize the day"



and rebel immediately. Any argument that discriminates against or excludes cadres from
rebellion is wrong and must be resolutely refuted.
