Scenes of how her revolu- tionary comrades-in-arms fell heroically in action reappeared in her mind's eye. "At the early stage of the War of Resistance Against Japan," she reminisced, "there were more than 1,000 fighters in the army unit I served. We fought the enemy through the decades, and only a few of us are alive today. To think that I, one of the survivors, should have gone in for capitalism and revisionism and rendered service to the enemy of socialism. . How can I not feel ashamed of myself when I think of those fallen eomrades-in- arms and other revolutionary martyrs?" She most eagerly studied Chairman Mao's works and his theory of continulng the revolution under the dictatorship of the proletariat, and as she studied she examined the mistakes she had com- mitted. Thus she took a big step forward in re- cognizing her mistakes and heightening her poli- tical consciousness. She continued to recall: "I departed from the Part5r's revolutionar5r tradition of maintaining Chen Ching-wen works alon€sid€ e workcr. dose ties with the ulasses.
