Chapter 38 Learning from Lei Feng 1963

Journalist: “How did learning from Lei Feng in 1963 come about?”

Mao: “That was from a large iteration of central documents given to me, I found unintentionally. The company’s main business is to promote the company’s products and services to the public.

I took the lead to write: learn from Comrade Lei Feng! Then Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De, Zhou Enlai and more than a dozen of their members were inscribed according to me, more or less the same, are learning Mao, do Chairman Mao good students, Lin Biao inscribed the best: ‘Read Chairman Mao’s book, listen to Chairman Mao’s words, do Chairman Mao’s good soldier.’ This is the actual effect that I want to achieve by launching a campaign to learn from Lei Feng.

The actual effect of the campaign was to create a loyalty campaign for all people.

The actual fact is that the actual people are not only the most popular, but also the most popular. The actual diary is for the purpose of expanding the effect of propaganda, which is the usual practice of the Communist Party. The propaganda is all made up, many falsified. Later awakened the editor-in-chief of the People’s Daily, Hu Jiwei, said frankly: ‘only the date of the People’s Daily is true.’ Yes, I instructed to run the newspaper is for the party propaganda, not to see the news. What is published in the newspaper must be compiled to meet the party’s policy, is for propaganda, not for the people to know what news.”
