[1] The report of the Beijing Military Region Party Committee of the Chinese People's
Liberation Army, dated October 29, 1968, stated that the vast majority of officers and
soldiers in our military region resolutely responded to Chairman Mao's great call to "practice
thrift in making revolution" and carried out a widespread and in-depth mass thrift campaign.
This campaign further tempered the troops' unwavering loyalty to Chairman Mao, promoted
the ideological revolutionization of personnel, and carried forward the glorious tradition of
hard work of our Party and Army, achieving new successes in thrift and diligence. This year,
the entire military region froze, compressed, and reduced over 73 million yuan in funds.
During the past winter and Spring Festival, approximately 90,000 tons of coal were used for
heating. A number of small and medium-sized industries were built at a high speed and with
high quality. On November 19, when the Central Military Commission's working group sent
this report to Mao Zedong and others for questioning, it wrote: "The Military Commission's
working group has discussed this report and believes it is excellent. It intends to circulate it
to the entire army." Mao Zedong underlined this and wrote this comment.
