Two Good and Short Fact-Finding Reports

"Renmin Ribao" (July 24) front-paged two fact-finding reports under a banner headline: Please Read Two Good and Short Fact-Finding Reports. There was also an editor's note which reads: "These two fact-finding reports, plain and concise, have no unnecessary words. This style of writing should be greatly encouraged. "Many of our newspaper articles are too long. Who wants to read them? A change is needed. "In his article 'Oppose Stereotyped Party Writing' 30 years ago, Chairman Mao criti cized long and empty articles, pointing out that 'we should learn how to write shorter and pithier articles.' To this day this call is still of practical significance to us. We are ready to join other comrades in a conscientious effort to solve this problem so that the writing of articles becomes shorter and shorter." Another passage from the same article by Chairman Mao was carried in the right- hand corner of the masthead: "Some of our comrades love to write long articles with no substance, very much like the 'foot-bindings of a slattern, long as well as smelly.' Why must they write such long and empty articles? There can be only one explanation; they are determined the masses shall not read them." Following is the text of the two fact-finding reports. — "P.R." Ed.

NEW BOOK On the Long March With Chairman Mao

by Chen Chang-feng

The world-renowned Long March which covered a distance of 25,000 li (12,500 kilo metres) was made by the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party and Chairman Mao during the period of 1934-36. By the end of 1933, the Kuomintang bandit troops hod launched their fifth encirclement campaign against the Central Red Army in Kiangsi. Unfortunately, because the Communist Party was then dominated by the erroneous "Left" line, the Red Army could not break the enemy encirclement and was compelled to leave the Kiangsi base area and embark on the Long March in October 1934. Early in the Long March, the "Left" opportunists continued to carry out an erroneous line and more than once put the Red Army in a precarious position, bringing enormous losses to it. The enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the Party Central Committee in Tsunyi in January 1935 put an end to the domination of the "Left" opportunist line and established Comrade Mao Tsetung's leading position in the whole Party. Thus the Party and the Red Army were saved from imminent danger, and the Chinese revolution was able to surmount it. Under the correct leadership of Comrade Mao Tsetung after the Tsunyi Meeting, the Red Army frustrated pursuit and interception by hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, overcame innumerable hardships and difficulties and victoriously reached northern Shensi. Thus the Long March ended in triumph.

This book is a record of the author's six years, 1930-36, of serving first as Chairman Mao's orderly and then as bodyguard. It records his impressions of the Chairman's life and work, focusing on the Long March, and the Red Army in time of trial. These rem iniscences of the revolution highlight the historical events of that period and vividly bring out Chairman Mao's revolutionary outlook and plain living. The book is illustrated.
