[Critique on the Publication of Articles Such as "The Cooperative Medical System Deeply Welcomed by the Poor and Lower-Middle Peasants" in *People's Daily*]
(1968)
This should be handled accordingly.
In addition, the question of whether urban primary and secondary schools can be run by factories and jointly run by neighbourhoods should also be raised for discussion. (There are materials available for publication from both Shanghai and Beijing. The letter from Wu Yanyin could probably also be published.)

On 30 November 1968, Yao Wenyuan, a member of the Cultural Revolution Group of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, wrote a report to Mao Zedong stating that a report on the cooperative medical system in Leyuan Commune, Changyang County, Hubei Province, had been verified, and two discussion meetings had been held in the suburbs of Beijing, resulting in a compiled material. "May the editorial note, the report, and the summary of the discussion meetings be published together in the newspaper in a couple of days to initiate discussion? Requesting instructions." Mao Zedong's critique was written on this report by Yao Wenyuan. On 5 December, *People's Daily* published, with an editor's note, the article "The Cooperative Medical System Deeply Welcomed by the Poor and Lower-Middle Peasants" by the investigation group of the Yichang Regional Revolutionary Committee, the Changyang County Revolutionary Committee, and the Changyang County People's Armed Forces Department, as well as the "Summary of the Discussion Meeting of Poor and Lower-Middle Peasants, Rural Grassroots Cadres, and Commune Medical Personnel on the Cooperative Medical System Implemented by Leyuan Commune — Opinions from Huangcun and Liangxiang Communes."

On 14 November 1968, *People's Daily* published a letter from the masses titled "Suggestion That All Public Primary Schools Be Transferred to Brigades to Run." The following day, a column titled "Discussion on Transferring Public Primary Schools to Brigades to Run" was launched. Starting from the seventh issue of the column on 2 December 1968, the discussion was expanded to include how urban primary and secondary schools should be run, beginning to touch upon the question of whether they could be placed under the joint operation of factories and neighbourhoods. This discussion column continued until August 1976, spanning a total of 197 issues.
