Mao Zedong

[1] This comment was written in the 13th issue of the "Important Letters Digest" published
by the Letters and Visits Office of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee on June
13, 1972. The digest said that Li Keru, the former president of Gansu Agricultural University,
wrote to say that he joined the Party in 1926 and participated in the Autumn Harvest
Uprising. During the Cultural Revolution, he was fabricated as a "traitor" and suffered a blow,
which cut short his political career. Now nearly 70 years old, he has reached the end of his
limited years in the Party and urgently requested that his problems be resolved and that he
be given a job. After the Cultural Revolution, Li Keru served as the vice chairman of the
Standing Committee of the Gansu Provincial People's Congress.
