66 years ago today, on September 9, 1959 (August 7, 1959 in the lunar calendar), Mao Zedong instructed Peng Dehuai to decentralize labor requirements. On September 9, 1959, Peng Dehuai wrote to Mao Zedong, asking him to study or leave Beijing to go to the People's Commune after the enlarged meeting of the Military Commission. While studying, he took part in some labor, so as to get exercise and ideological reform in the collective life of the working people. Mao Zedong's instructions: I warmly welcome this letter from Comrade Peng Dehuai. His position and viewpoint are correct, and his attitude is sincere. If there is a complete change from then on, and there are no big shakes (small shakes are inevitable), that is, "becoming a Buddha on the ground" and becoming a Marxist on the ground. I suggest that all comrades in our party welcome the attitude expressed by Comrade Peng Dehuai in this letter!
