[1] The first part is based on an excerpt from a letter dated October 12, 1972, from Xu
Jialing, son of Xu Dixin, former Vice Minister of the United Front Work Department of the
CPC Central Committee. The summary states that in December 1967, Xu Dixin was
imprisoned within the ministry under "mass dictatorship" and denied home, losing his
freedom. He requested permission to return home for medical treatment. The second part
of this article is based on a summary of a letter from Shen Pu, the wife of Fan Changjiang,
former Deputy Director of the State Science and Technology Commission, requesting a
political conclusion for Fan. Fan Changjiang was framed and persecuted during the Cultural
Revolution and died in Henan on October 23, 1978. In December 1978, the Central
Committee of the Communist Party of China rehabilitated him. The third part of this article is
based on a letter from Jiang Yizhen, former Secretary of the Secretariat of the Fujian
Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and former Governor, to Mao Zedong
on November 1, 1972. The letter states that in a 1969 speech, you mentioned that I was still



young and could still work. In August of this year, you lifted my guardianship, which has led
to my recent improvement. The letter also accuses Lin Biao and Chen Boda of persecuting
him during the Cultural Revolution and requests that Mao instruct the relevant departments
to issue a political conclusion as soon as possible, so that he can return to the Party and the
state. The fourth part is based on an excerpt from a letter dated November 26, 1972, from
Zhang Minghui, the wife of Li Yifu, the former head of the Central Supervisory Commission's
Supervisory Group at the Ministry of Foreign Trade. In the letter, Zhang Minghui thanked
Chairman Mao for his concern, allowing her and her children to visit Li Yifu, and expressed
her hope that Li would be approved for hospitalization.
