(April 9, 1944) Comrade Chen Yi: I have received the letter and sent it to Comrade Shaoqi for reading.Be patient in everything, think more about your own shortcomings, and improve what you can't; take care of the overall situation, as long as you don't mind the big principles, forgive others a lot.Patience is the most difficult thing, but to be a politician, you must practice patience. Please consider this point.If you have a cold, you should sleep more, move less and eat more.Yu Rong talked about it face to face. salute!
