There is one modification, please discuss.
Among those who have committed capitalist errors, only a minority refuse to repent, while
the majority can be educated and corrected. Do not assume that all ‘capitalist roaders’ are
bad people.
Even the children of counter-revolutionaries and unrepentant capitalists should not be called
‘children of the black gang,’ but rather should be regarded as part of the majority or large
majority who can be educated (referred to as ‘children who can be educated’), to show that
they are different from their families. In practice, there will be a small number of people
who remain stubborn, but the majority can definitely be won over.

[1] These comments were written on the draft notice submitted for review by Yao Wenyuan,
a member of the Central Committee's Cultural Revolution Group, on 17 December 1968. The
second clause of the draft notice states: "When referring to the names of enemies, one
should adhere to the terminology explicitly stipulated in the Central Committee's previous
documents, such as: traitors, spies, unrepentant capitalists, unreformed landlords, rich
peasants, counter-revolutionaries, bad elements, and rightists who have not been properly
re-educated, current counter-revolutionaries, etc. Do not use vague terminology that blurs
the distinction between the two types of contradictions and broadens the scope of reeducation." Following this, Mao Zedong added a sentence, which constitutes Part Two of the
comments. The fourth clause of the notice states: "For the children of counter-revolutionary
elements and those who have made mistakes, more ideological education work should be
conducted to gradually persuade the majority to accept re-education by the workers,
peasants, and soldiers, and isolate the few who persist in opposing the people." Following
this, Mao Zedong added a paragraph, which is Part Three of the comments. On 26 December
1968, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Central Cultural
Revolution Group issued this notice.
