I have read it. I basically agree.
It seems that there is no need to convey this to grassroots party members for the time
being.
I don't go out these days.
Let’s not talk about it anymore.

[1] This meeting was held in Beijing from April 15 to 29, 1971. A total of 99 leaders from the
central government, local governments, and military units attended, along with 143 people
currently attending the Military Commission symposium. The meeting was held to exchange
experiences from various regions regarding the "Criticize Chen" and "Rectify the Work Style"
campaigns. Chen refers to Chen Boda.
[2] This article was written in Zhou Enlai’s report to Mao Zedong and others on April 24,
1971. The report said that the meeting to criticize Chen and rectify the style of work had
been held for nine days. Comrades from each group had spoken many times, made criticisms
and self-criticisms, and expressed their desire to strengthen unity on the basis of the
principles of Mao Zedong Thought. The five comrades of the Military Commission’s office
group all made self-criticisms. In general, the meeting deepened understanding and selfcriticism. Starting from today, each group will enter into an exchange of experiences in
criticizing Chen and rectifying the style of work and self-education, and discuss how to
convey this to the grassroots level in all regions and aspects. At the closing meeting, the
Political Bureau will speak out about the gains of this meeting and summarize several issues
so that they can be conveyed to the Standing Committee members of the Party Committees
of the major military regions, the Standing Committee members of the Party Committees of
the provinces, cities and districts or the Party Core Groups, and the corresponding party,
government and military organizations directly under the Central Committee, especially to
the members and alternate members of the Central Committee in all regions and directly
affiliated units. At the same time, we need to discuss how to convey the "Criticism of Chen



and the Rectification Movement" to grassroots Party members. Mao Zedong drew a
horizontal line under the quotation marks and wrote a comment, which is now part two of
this article. "The meeting hopes that the Chairman and Vice Chairman Lin will meet with
everyone. It would be even better if they could say a few words to everyone. However,
everyone also said that this request should not interfere with the Chairman and Vice
Chairman Lin's attendance at the May Day commemoration and viewing the fireworks at
Tiananmen Square." Next to this sentence, Mao Zedong drew a vertical line and wrote a
comment, which is now part three of this article. "Whether the above ideas are appropriate
or not, please approve them. If the Chairman has any new ideas, please also approve them.
If you can invite us to a meal, it would be greatly appreciated." Next to this sentence, Mao
Zedong drew a vertical line and wrote a comment, which is now part four of this article.
