Both factions in Xuzhou are revolutionary mass organisations and should unite.
Xuzhou has already been turned upside down several times, and it can no longer be turned
upside down again.
One faction is ineffective, but two factions are effective. One faction cannot rule alone, but
two factions can rule together.
If you explain the policy clearly, most people will accept it.

[1] This article consists of four consecutive directives issued by Mao Zedong between 1968
and 1969 in response to the prolonged failure to achieve a revolutionary alliance in the
Xuzhou-Haizhou region of Jiangsu Province. In a report dated 26 July 1969 requesting the
reorganisation of the Xuzhou Revolutionary Committee, the Party Committee of the 68th
Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army quoted these four directives in bold type in its
request for approval to reorganise the Xuzhou Municipal Revolutionary Committee. This
report was later submitted as an appendix to the 68th Army Party Committee's ‘Report on
Several Issues Regarding the Implementation of the Spirit of the Ninth National Congress’
titled ‘Request for Approval to Reorganise the Xuzhou Municipal Revolutionary Committee’
for review by Mao Zedong and others. On 29 July 1969, the Central Committee of the
Communist Party of China approved the 68th Army Party Committee's ‘Report on Several
Issues Regarding the Implementation of the Spirit of the Ninth National Congress’ and its
appendix. When reviewing the Central Committee's comments, Mao Zedong wrote:
‘Proceed as instructed.’
