Call to read on February 1st, I am very grateful.The liberation struggle of the Chinese nation and the Chinese people has been carried on for more than a hundred years.The blood of countless martyrs has been sprinkled all over the beautiful mountains and rivers; billions of rising people have shown their heroism.The reason for the victory of the People's Liberation War this time is that the people of the whole country are not afraid of the strong and united in their struggle. In isolation, the number of winners and losers can be judged.Now the remnants of the enemy still exist, and they are ready to plot.Asking for respite is called seeking peace, waiting for foreign aid is called waiting for negotiations.Orally reciting the Eight Articles [2], sheltering war criminals, looking at the United States, and looking at Guangzhou.In order to win the final victory of the people's struggle for liberation, all the democratic forces in the country must work together with one heart and one mind, make persistent efforts, and strive for a truly democratic peace.Mr. Zhu has worked hard for the cause of democracy for a long time, and now that he has arrived in the liberated areas, he will surely achieve rapid success in the common cause of building a new China.Special telegram reply, respectfully welcome.
