Letter to Li Shuqing

October 16, 1952

[Source: Selections from Mao Zedong's Letters, p.468.]

Mr. Shuqing:[1]

Your gracious letter has been receipt. I am very grateful for your conveying to me news of our home village. As for matters related to the localities, I wish only to collect material and information for reference purpose; I do not want to, and should not, directly handle local problems in general [because this would] make it difficult for the local Party and government [organs] to handle their affairs. Please understand my situation and forgive me.

With great respect,

 

Mao Zedong

October 16, 1952
