(June 30, July 7, 1946) Comrade Bishi [2] also told Comrade Qiao Mu [3]: Please consider the "July 7th" manifesto to mobilize the people of the whole country to oppose the reactionary attack.This declaration first describes the party’s declaration[4] after Japan’s surrender, advocating the peaceful establishment of the country; it follows the Double Tenth Agreement[5] and the civil war; it follows the CPPCC’s bright performance; Inwardly attacking the Liberated Areas and the masses of the people and the policy that the people should adopt.The full text should explain that foreign reactionaries cooperate with Chinese reactionaries to turn China into a colony, and the task of the Chinese people is still to fight for independence and democracy as the center; fail.Ask Qiao Mu to write.

Mao Zedong June 30 two The current rampantness of the Chinese reactionaries does not show their strength and vitality, but their weakness and their radiance.Fascist rule in any country has this nature, and China cannot be an exception.Fascism is the ugliest, but also the weakest and most lifeless.Therefore, it is impossible and impossible for the Chinese reactionaries to eliminate the power of the people and realize permanent fascist rule. three Compatriots all over the country should understand that the reactionary attempts of Chinese and foreign reactionaries can be defeated.We must defeat all reactionary attempts of Chinese and foreign reactionaries, we must realize independence, peace and democracy, we must implement the ceasefire order[7], the CPPCC resolution[8] and the army consolidation plan[9].We welcome anyone who wishes to accomplish this, no matter who they are.Anyone who opposes these, no matter who they are, we express our opposition.My fellow countrymen, if our demands are so reasonable and our cause is just, then our demands must be realized and our cause must be victorious.

Published according to Mao Zedong's manuscript. -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ note [1] The first part of this article is Mao Zedong’s letter to Ren Bishi and to Hu Qiaomu on the drafting points of the Declaration to Commemorate the Ninth Anniversary of July 7th.Parts two and three of this article are two paragraphs added by Mao Zedong when he revised the draft of the manifesto. [2] Bishi, that is, Ren Bishi (1904-1950), a native of Shutang Township (now Miluo City), Xiangyin, Hunan.He was then Secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

[3] Qiao Mu, that is, Hu Qiaomu (1912-1992), was born in Yancheng, Jiangsu.He was Mao Zedong's secretary at the time. [4] Refers to the "Declaration of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the Current Situation" dated August 25, 1945. [5] The Double Tenth Agreement, that is, the minutes of the talks signed by representatives of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party on October 10, 1945.See note [2] on page 42 of this volume. [6] Jiaochangkou refers to the Jiaochangkou incident.On February 10, 1946, people from more than 20 organizations from all walks of life in Chongqing held a meeting to celebrate the success of the Political Consultative Conference in Jiaochangkou Square. KMT secret agents disrupted the venue and injured more than 60 people including Li Gongpu, Guo Moruo and journalists. .

[7] The armistice order refers to the agreement on the cessation of military conflicts signed by representatives of the CCP and the Kuomintang government announced on January 10, 1946.This agreement stipulated that the armies of both sides should stop military operations in their respective positions at midnight on January 13.But Chiang Kai-shek actually just used this armistice agreement to cover his deployment of a major war. While the armistice order was issued, he secretly ordered the Kuomintang army to "seize strategic points", and then continuously mobilized troops to attack the liberated areas.In late June, Chiang Kai-shek publicly tore up the armistice agreement and launched a full-scale attack on the liberated areas.

[8] Resolutions of the CPPCC refer to the five proposals passed at the Political Consultative Conference held in Chongqing from January 10 to 31, 1946 by representatives of the Kuomintang, the Communist Party, other parties and people without party affiliation: (1) Agreement on the organization of government. (2) Program of peaceful nation building. (3) Agreement on the question of the National Assembly. (4) Agreement on the issue of the draft constitution. (5) Agreement on military matters.These agreements of the Political Consultative Conference are, to varying degrees, favorable to the people and unfavorable to Chiang Kai-shek's reactionary rule.On the one hand, Chiang Kai-shek verbally acknowledged these agreements, but on the other hand he was actively preparing to launch a nationwide civil war.These agreements of the Political Consultative Conference were soon torn up one by one by Chiang Kai-shek.

[9] The plan for reorganizing the army refers to the agreement of the Political Consultative Conference on military issues.This agreement proposes that "the military system should be reformed in accordance with our country's democratic political system and national conditions", "improve the conscription system", "military education should be conducted in accordance with the principles of army building, and always go beyond the party system and personal relationships", "implement military party Separation" and "implementing the separation of military and civilian rule" and other principles, and also made regulations on the reorganization of the Kuomintang army and the army in the liberated areas.
