On this day, 77 years ago, March 20, 1948 (February 10, 1948, the lunar calendar), Mao Zedong predicted the establishment of the Central People's Government in 1949. Mao Zedong was on the ferry to the North China Jiefang District. On March 20, 1948, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the "Circular on the Situation" drafted by Mao Zedong. Mao Zedong predicted that the time for the establishment of the Central People's Government would be about 1949. Our policy is to proceed slowly and steadily, not seeking quick results, but only to eliminate on average about 8 brigades of the enemy's regular army every two months and about 100 brigades of the Kuomintang army every year. It is possible to eliminate the entire Kuomintang army in about five years (counting from July 1946).
