I paid special attention to my colleagues—those who worked in ideology, scientific research, and journalism.From the group list, we can see that Li Xin is in the North China group, Hu Qiaomu and Zhang Xiangshan are in the East China group, Zeng Tao, Hua Nan, and Hu Sheng are in the Northeast group, Wu Lengxi is in the Central South group, Xiong Fu, Hu Jiwei, Zhang Pinghua, and Zhang Yaoci In the southwest group, Yang Xiguang, Wang Huide and I are in the northwest group.Among them, Li Xin, Wu Lengxi, Hu Sheng, and Xiong Fu used to be with me in the Political Research Office of the State Council. They have been participating in the compilation of "Selected Works of Mao Zedong". Xiong Fu attended the meeting as the editor-in-chief of "Red Flag" magazine. Participate in the meeting on behalf of the Compilation Bureau.Zhang Pinghua is the head of the Central Propaganda Department, and there are not many incidents involving him.Zhang Yaoci is the deputy director of the General Office of the Central Committee, but he has no control over ideological matters.

I was assigned in the Northwest group.In addition to the four conveners of our Northwest Group, there are three members of the Politburo, Fang Yi, Ji Dengkui, and Xu Xiangqian, and three members of the "Three Deputy and Two Seniors" Wang Zhen, Zhou Jianren, and Song Renqiong.From provinces, municipalities, autonomous regions, and major military regions, there are Li Ruishan, Wang Renzhong, and Yu Mingtao from Shaanxi, Song Ping and Li Dengying from Gansu, Shaojingwa from Ningxia, Song Zhihe from Xinjiang, Tan Qilong and Zhao Haifeng from Qinghai, and Xinjiang Military Region.

I attended this meeting as the person in charge of the Political Research Office of the State Council.Many comrades in the Northwest Group are acquaintances and friends, and several are new acquaintances. They got along very well at this meeting.Some, such as Jiang Yizhen, later became my friends. We became colleagues in the work of the Hainan Development Promotion Association, and passed away a few years ago. All speeches are made in the group meetings. Except for a few conferences, the general participants have no other meeting activities. The group meetings are usually held in the morning and afternoon, and there is usually no rest on Sundays.

The briefing for this conference was well done.One is fast, people in each group can see the speeches of other groups the day before the next day.The second is detailed, useful words are rarely deleted.The third is that it is more accurate. I saw what I said in the briefing, and I didn’t find anything wrong with my memory. I didn’t hear any dissatisfaction with the briefing work of this meeting at the meeting.At that central working meeting, everyone knew that it was meaningless to talk in stereotypes, so the briefing was very interesting, and reading the briefing carefully became a necessary task.The briefing of this meeting played a very good role in enabling timely exchanges and discussions between groups.Many discussions take place between groups.
