Chapter 62 Letter to Song Ziwen[1]

(August 14, 1936) Mr. Ziwen: After ten years of separation, the country's affairs are completely different, and the only way to save the nation is to return to the united front.The last time Brother Dong Jianwu [2] came here, he expressed his contempt. I don’t know if it has reached the left or right? My brother has appealed three times a year, hoping that the Nanjing authorities will change their external and internal policies. Although there are some clues, the main point remains unchanged. It is very difficult to truly unite against Japan. Mr. Guoguo is well-known, and sometimes has an introduction to the Anti-Japanese War. I admire it very much! Looking forward to making further progress, I took the initiative to reject traitors and traitors, restore the revolutionary spirit of Mr. Sun Yat-sen in your party before 1927, and implement the alliance with Russia and the Communist Party. The three major policies of agriculture and industry are not only to save the country, but also to save ourselves.Kou Shen's calamity is urgent, and his feelings are eager to cry, and we are in the same boat through storms, and I would like to hear about Mingjiao.I'm so in a hurry, I can't say enough! Shun Song Gongsui
