1. Commemorating Bethune (full text)

Comrade Bethune is a member of the Communist Party of Canada. He is over 50 years old. In order to help China's Anti-Japanese War, he was sent by the Communist Party of Canada and the Communist Party of the United States to come to China. I went to Yan'an last spring, and later worked in Wutai Mountain. Unfortunately, I died in the line of duty. A foreigner, without any self-interested motives, regards the liberation cause of the Chinese people as his own cause. What kind of spirit is this? This is the spirit of internationalism, this is the spirit of communism, and every Chinese Communist Party member must learn this spirit. Leninism believes that: The proletariat of capitalist countries must support the liberation struggle of the people of colonial and semi-colonial , and the proletariat of colonial and semi-colonial must support the liberation struggle of the proletariat of capitalist countries, so that the world revolution can win ⑵. Comrade Bethune practiced this Leninist line. We members of the Chinese Communist Party must also practice this line. We must unite with the proletariat of all capitalist countries, unite with the proletariat of Japan, Britain, the United States, Germany, Italy and all other capitalist countries. Only then can we defeat imperialism and liberate our nation and our country. People, nations and peoples that liberate the world. This is our internationalism, and this is the internationalism we use to oppose narrow nationalism and narrow nationalism.
Comrade Bethune’s spirit of not being self-interested but benefiting others is reflected in his extreme responsibility for his work and his extreme enthusiasm for his comrades and the people. Every Communist Party member must learn from him. Many people are irresponsible in their work, choosing the easy and evading the heavy, and passing on heavy responsibilities to others while picking up the light ones themselves. At present, plan for yourself first, and then plan for others. I feel great when I have put in a little effort, and I like to brag about myself for fear that others will not know. Instead of being full of enthusiasm for our comrades and the people, we are desolate, indifferent and indifferent. This kind of person is not actually a member of the Communist Party, at least not a pure Communist Party member. When people who came back from the front talked about Bethune, there was no one who did not admire him and no one who was not touched by his spirit. The soldiers and civilians of in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region were all moved by Dr. Bethune's treatment and his work. Every Communist Party member must learn from Comrade Bethune’s spirit of this true Communist.
Comrade Bethune is a doctor. He takes medical care as his profession and strives for excellence in technology. In the entire Eighth Route Army medical system, his medical skills are very good. This is also an excellent lesson for a group of people who are dissatisfied with new ideas, and for a group of people who despise technical work and think it is insignificant and have no future.
I only met Comrade Bethune once. Later he sent me many letters. But because I was busy, I only replied to him one letter, and I don’t know if he received it. I am very sad about his death. Now everyone commemorates him, which shows how deeply his spirit moved people. We all must learn from his spirit of being free from selfishness. Starting from this point, one can become a person of great benefit to the people. A person's ability may be great or small, but as long as he has this spirit, he is already a noble-minded person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who has escaped vulgar taste, a person who is useful to the people.

2. Serving the People (full text)

Our Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army and New Fourth Army led by the Communist Party are the revolutionary ranks. Our team is entirely dedicated to liberating the people and works completely for the interests of the people. Comrade Zhang Side ⑴ is a comrade in our team.
People are always going to die, but the meaning of death is different. In ancient China, a writer named Sima Qian said: "Everyone is destined to die, and it may be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather." ⑵ To die for the interests of the people is heavier than Mount Tai; to work for the fascists and for exploitation If the people and those who oppress the people die, they are lighter than a feather. Comrade Zhang Side died for the interests of the people, and his death was heavier than Mount Tai.
Because we serve the people, if we have shortcomings, we are not afraid of criticism from others.It doesn’t matter who it is, whoever points it out to us. As long as you are right, we will correct it. The method you suggest is good for the people, so we will do it. The idea of ​​"better troops and simpler administration" was put forward by Mr. Li Dingming⑶, a non-party person. He made a good idea and it was good for the people, so we adopted it. As long as we stick to what is good and correct what is wrong for the benefit of the people, our team will surely prosper.
We come from all over the world and come together for a common revolutionary goal. We still need to follow this path with the majority of the people in the country. Today we already lead base areas with a population of 91 million, 4 but this is not enough; we need a larger base to liberate the entire nation. When our comrades are in difficulties, they must see the results, see the light, and increase their courage. The Chinese people are suffering, we have the responsibility to save them, and we must work hard. If there is a struggle, there will be sacrifices, and death often happens. But we think of the interests of the people and the suffering of the majority of the people, and when we die for the people, it is a worthy death. However, we should try to minimize unnecessary sacrifices. Our cadres must care for every soldier, and all members of the revolutionary ranks must care for each other, love each other, and help each other.
From now on, no matter who dies in our team, whether he is a cook or a soldier, as long as he has done some useful work, we will bury him and hold a memorial service. This needs to become a system. This method must also be introduced to the common people. When someone from the village dies, a memorial service is held. In this way, we express our condolences and unite the entire people.

3, Yu Gong Yishan (full text)

On June 11, 1945, we held a very good conference. We did three things: First, we determined the party's line, which is to mobilize the masses, strengthen the people's power, and under the leadership of our party, defeat the Japanese aggressors, liberate the people of the country, and build a new democratic China. Second, the new party constitution was adopted. Third, the Party’s leading body, the Central Committee, was elected. The future task is to lead the whole party to realize the party's line. We held a victory conference, a unity conference. Delegates made good comments on the three reports. Many comrades have made self-criticism, starting from the goal of unity and achieving unity through self-criticism. This congress is a model of unity, a model of self-criticism, and a model of intra-party democracy. After the conclusion of the conference, many comrades will return to their jobs and go to various battlefields. Comrades go to various places to publicize the line of the congress and explain it extensively to the people through all comrades in the party. The purpose of our propaganda of the conference's line is to build up the confidence of the whole party and the people of the country that the revolution will definitely win. First of all, the vanguard must be awakened, determined, not afraid of sacrifice, overcome all difficulties, and strive for victory. But this is not enough. The broad masses of the people across the country must also be awakened and willing to fight with us to win victory. The people of the whole country must have the confidence that China belongs to the Chinese people, not the reactionaries. There is a fable in ancient China called "The Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountains". It is said that in ancient times there was an old man who lived in North China and was named Beishan Yugong. There are two mountains blocking the way out of his house to the south, one is called Taihang Mountain and the other is Wangwu Mountain. Yu Gong made up his mind to lead his sons to dig out these two mountains with hoes. An old man named Zhisou laughed when he saw it, and said that you are too stupid to do this. It is completely impossible for you, father and son, to dig out such two mountains. Yu Gong replied: After I die, I will have my son. After my son dies, I will have grandchildren. There is no end to my descendants. Although these two mountains are very high, they will not get any higher. The more they are dug, the smaller they will be. Why can't they be dug level? Yu Gong refuted Zhisou's erroneous ideas and remained unwavering, digging mountains every day. God was so moved by this incident that he sent two gods to earth to carry the two mountains away.Now there are two big mountains pressing on the heads of the Chinese people, one is called imperialism and the other is called feudalism. The Chinese Communist Party has long made up its mind to dig out these two mountains. We must persevere and work continuously, and we will also move God. This God is none other than the people of China. The people of the whole country have come together to dig these two mountains with us. Why can't we dig them flat? Yesterday, two Americans were going back to the United States. I told them that the U.S. government wanted to undermine us, which was not allowed. We oppose the U.S. government’s policy of supporting Chiang Kai-shek in his fight against communism. But we must first distinguish between the American people and their government, and secondly, we must distinguish between the people who decide policies in the U.S. government and the ordinary staff below. I said to these two Americans: Tell you people in the U.S. government who decide policies that you are prohibited from going there in our liberated areas because your policy is to support Chiang Kai-shek and fight the Communists, and we are not at ease. If you want to attack Japan, you can go to the liberated areas, but you must make a treaty. If you're sneaking around, that's not allowed. Hurley has publicly declared that he will not cooperate with the Chinese Communist Party. If this is the case, why is he still running around in our liberated areas? The U.S. government's policy of supporting Chiang Kai-shek and anti-communism illustrates the rampantness of the American reactionaries. But all attempts by Chinese and foreign reactionaries to prevent the victory of the Chinese people are destined to fail. In the current world trend, democracy is the mainstream, and anti-democratic reaction is just a countercurrent. The current reactionary countercurrent attempts to overwhelm the mainstream of national independence and people's democracy, but the reactionary countercurrent will never become the mainstream. As Stalin said long ago, there are still three major contradictions in the old world: the first is the contradiction between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie in the imperialist countries; the second is the contradiction between the imperialist countries. The third is the contradiction between colonial and semi-colonial countries and the imperialist master countries. Not only do these three contradictions still exist, they have become more acute and expanded. Due to the existence and development of these contradictions, although there are anti-Soviet, anti-communist and anti-democratic countercurrents, this reactionary countercurrent will one day be overcome. China is currently holding two congresses, one is the Sixth Congress of the Kuomintang and the other is the Seventh Congress of the Communist Party. The two conferences have completely different purposes: one is to eliminate the Communist Party and the Chinese democratic forces and lead China into darkness; the other is to overthrow Japanese imperialism and its lackeys, the Chinese feudal forces, and build a new democratic China and lead China into darkness. bright. These two lines are fighting each other. We firmly believe that the Chinese people will achieve complete victory under the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the line of the Seventh Congress of the Communist Party of China, and that the Kuomintang's counter-revolutionary line will inevitably fail.
