For several years running, she had been elected an activist in the living study and applica- tion of Mao Tsetung Thought. On January 1 this year, Shen Hsiu-chin heroically sacrificed her young life to save the state property. To- day, her name is spreading far and wide in the rural areas of the Shantung Peninsula. In July 1961 when she had just started on the road of integrating herself with the workers and peasants, she was faced with the test of the fie,rce struggle between the two classes. At that time, the evil wind of restoring capitalism whipped up by the renegade, hidden traitor and scab Liu Shao-chi spread to the Kuochia Production Brigade.
