“Hsiangfen County CCP Committee has launched the cadres and masses to study Chairman Mao's teachings and criticize the revisionist program of "taking the three instructions as the key link" pushed by the unrepentant capitalist roaders in the party.”

“Flagrantly they spread the notion that "at present the targets of revolution are those democrats who had eaten bran in the old society, been wounded during the Anti-Japanese War, fought in the Liberation War and crossed the Ya-lu River during the struggle to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea."
