This is historical material, and there have been many changes since then. It is too much to
modify, so it seems better not to modify it.
Mao Zedong August 4
Some annotations may be deleted, but the text remains unchanged.

[1] This comment was written on a report dated July 25, 1967 by Zhang Xiangshan, Secretary
General of the International Liaison Department of the CPC Central Committee, to Wang Li
and Guan Feng, members of the Central Cultural Revolution Group. The report said: "In
January and February this year, comrades in the translation groups of the Selected Works of
Mao Zedong, based on the problems discovered during the Cultural Revolution, proposed to
modify or delete some names that appeared in the text, title and notes of the Selected
Works." After consulting the Chairman, "it was decided to translate the original text (the
Central Committee agreed to delete two paragraphs of Liu Shaoqi and the Resolution on
Historical Issues at that time)." Recently, we asked for instructions to delete the word
"comrade" from "Comrade Wang Ming", and the responsible comrades of the Central
Committee agreed. At the same time, with the deepening of the "Cultural Revolution",
comrades in the translation groups once again proposed whether the names of Liu Shaoqi
and twelve others should be deleted, or the word "comrade" after them should be deleted.
Since this issue is extremely important and involves the modification of the text, please
report the Central Committee's instructions.
