[1] This refers to a report submitted by the Shenyang Military Region Committee of the
Communist Party of China to Mao Zedong and others on November 30, 1968. The report
stated that in preparation for the rural struggle, criticism, and reform campaign this winter
and next spring, the various units of the military region organized over 1,100 investigation
teams to conduct field investigations. Based on the surveyed leadership teams of 3,598
communes and teams in 34 counties, they can be roughly divided into three categories: the
first category is good, accounting for approximately 20%; the second category is
intermediate, accounting for approximately 60%, with leadership in these teams essentially
held by poor and lower-middle peasants; and the third category is bad, accounting for
approximately 13% to 15%. These teams are seriously impure, with bad elements generally
in power. The investigation shows that the fundamental issue in the struggle between the
two lines in rural areas is the leadership team. Resolving this issue is the focus of the rural
struggle, criticism, and reform campaign this winter and next spring. The agricultural support
units should adopt different approaches based on the different situations of the leadership
teams, highlighting key points and concentrating their efforts on a decisive battle. On
December 7, the CPC Central Committee, the Central Military Commission, and the Central
Cultural Revolution Group forwarded this report based on Mao Zedong's instructions.
