IN THE LIFE-AND-DEATH STRUGGLE BETWEEN THE TWO CLASSES,
THE TWO ROADS AND THE TWO LINES, IT IS OF ESPECIALLY GREAT
IMMEDIATE SIGNIFICANCE FOR US TO RESTUDY LENIN'S THEORY ON
RELATIONS BETWEEN THE LEADER, THE POLITICAL PARTY, THE CLASS
AND THE MASSES. MARXISM-LENINISM HOLDS THAT /"THE PEOPLE, AND
THE PEOPLE ALONE, ARE THE MOTIVE FORCE IN THE MAKING OF WORLD
HISTORY."/ THE MAKING OF HISTORY BY THE PEOPLE AFFIRMS BOTH
THE ROLE OF THE LEADER, WHO REPRESENTS THE INTERESTS AND WILL
OF THE PEOPLE, AND THE ROLE OF THE MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS OF
.THE MASSES. THE MASSES ARE DIVIDED INTO CLASSES; A CLASS IS
ORDINARILY LED BY A POLITICAL PARTY; A POLITICAL PARTY IS
ORDINARILY CONTROLLED BY A RELATIVELY STABLE GROUP; AND THIS
GROUP IS COMPOSED OF PEOPLE WHO ARE MOST PRESTIGIOUS, MOST
INFLUENTIAL, MOST EXPERIENCED AND ELECTED TO FILL THE MOST
IMPORTANT POSITIONS AS LEADERS. TO BECOME THE FEAL FIGHTING
HEADQUARTERS OF THE PROLETARIAT, THE PROLETARIAN REVOLUTIONARY
PARTY MUST HAVE A LEADER WHO HAS EMERGED IN CLASS STRUGGLE AND
IN THE MASS REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT, IT INFINITELY LOYAL TO THE
MASSES, HAS FLESH-AND-BLOOD TIES WITH THE MASSES AND IS GOOD
AT GATHERING THE IDEAS OF THE MASSES AND CARRYING THEM THROUGH.
SUCH A LEADER IS GENERALLY ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE MASSES AND IS A
REAL REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PROLETARIAT. WHEN A POLITICAL PARTY
OF TIE PROLETARIAT HAS SUCH A LEADER, IT IS AN INDICATION THAT
THIS PARTY IS POLITICALLY MATURE, AND IT IS HOPED THAT THE CAUSE
OF THE PROLETARIAT WILL BE TRIUMPHANT. WITHOUT SUCH A LEADER,
/"THE DICTATORSHIP OF THE PROLETARIAT AND THE 'UNITY OF WILL'
OF THE PROLETARIAT WILL REMAIN A PHRASE."/ (PAGE 505, VOLUME
32, "COMPLETE WORKS OF LENIN") DENYING THE LEADING ROLE OF THE
PARTY AND ITS LEADER, /"IS TANTAMOUNT TO COMPLETELY DISARMING
THE PROLETARIAT TO THE ADVANTAGE OF THE BOURGEOISIE...AND WILL
INEVITABLY CAUSE ANY REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT OF THE PROLETARIAT
TO END UP IN DEFEAT./" (PAGE 200, VOLUME I, "SELECTED WORKS OF
LENIN") THE GREAT VICTORY WON BY THE PARTY CENTRAL COMMITTEE
HEADED BY COMRADE HUA KUO-rENG IN SHATTERING THE SCHEME OF THE
"GANG OF FOUR" TO USURP PARTY AND STATE POWER ONCE AGAIN
ELOQUENTLY SHOWS THE INCOMPARABLE CORRECTNESS OF THE ABOVE-MENTIONED
MARXIST-LENINIST VIEWS AND PROVES THE GREAT ROLE PLAYED BY THE
LEADER OF THE PARTY AT A CRUCIAL HISTORIC TURNING POINT.
A GREAT REVOLUTIONARY STRUGGLE PRODUCES /GREAT PEOPLE. THE
LEADERS OF A PROLETARIAN POLITICAL PARTY /ARE GENERALLY ACKNOWLEDGED
BY THE MASSES IN THE COURSE OF STRUGGLE AND PRACTICE, AND ARE
NOT SELF-APPOINTED./

(TEXT) THE LEADING ROLE OF THE GREAT LEADER AND TACHER
CHAIRMAN MAO IN THE WHOLE PARTY WAS ESTABLISHED IN THE COURSE
OF THE GREAT STRUGGLE OF THE CHINESE REVOLUTION, THROUGH
REVOLUTIONARY STORMS AND IN THE OVERCOMING OF MANY DIFFICULTIES
AND DANGERS, AND IT WAS ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE WHOLE PARTY, THE
WHOLE ARMY AND THE PEOPLE OF ALL NATIONALITIES THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY. SUMMING UP BOTH THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES
OF THE CHINESE REVOLUTION AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNIST MOVEMENT,
CHAIRMAN MAO PUT FORWARD THE FIVE REQUIREMENTS FOR SUCCESSORS
TO THE REVOLUTIONARY CAUSE OF THE PROLETARIAT, AND IN THE ACUTE
STRUGGLE BETWEEN THE TWO LINES WITHIN THE PARTY HE SELECTED
COMRADE HUA KUO-FENG TO SUCCEED HIM AS LEADER OF OUR PARTY.
THE PERIOD WHEN COMRADE HUA KUO-FENG WAS FIRST VICE CHAIRMAN
OF THE CCP CENTRAL COMMITTEE AND PREMIER OF THE STATE COUNCIL
WAS THE MOST DIFFICULT PERIOD SINCE THE FOUNDING OF NEW CHINA
BECAUSE THERE WERE SERIOUS NATURAL CALAMITIES AND THE "FOUR
PESTS" WERE RAMPANT. UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF CHAIRMAN MAO,
COMRADE HUA KUO-FENG WITHSTOOD THE ADVERSE CURRENT, EFFECTIVELY
COUNTERED INTERFERENCE, OVERCAME DIFFICLUTIES AND DEALT CORRECTLY
AND APPROPRIATELY WITH A RANGE OF IMPORTANT DOMESTIC AND
INTERNATIONAL QUESTIONS. CHAIRMAN MAO WROTE IN HIS OWN HANDWRITING
/"WITH YOU IN CHARGE, I'M AT EASE."/ THIS EXPRESSED HIS FULL
TRUST IN COMRADE HUA KUO-FENG.
AFTER THE GREAT LEADER AND TEACHER CHAIRMAN MAO PASSED AWAY,
THE PARTY CENTRAL COMMITTEE HEADED BY COMRADE HUA KUO-FENG,
IN ORDER TO CARRY OUT CHAIRMAN MAO'S BEHESTS AND DEFEND THE
PURITY OF MARXISM-LENINISM-["A0 TSETUNG THOUGHT, PROMPTLY MADE
THE WISE DECISIONS ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A MEMORIAL HALL
FOR CHAIRMAN MAO AND ON THE PUBLICATION OF THE "SELECTED WORKS
OF MAO TSETUNG" AND PREPARATIONS FOR THE PUBLICATION OF THE
"COLLECTED WORKS OF MAO TSETUNG, AND EXPOSED THE WA;`~G-CH?NG- CIaSn,;''C -
YAO ANIIPARTY "GANG OF FOUR." THESE, ALL THE MORE. DEMONSTRATE
THE REMARKABLE QUALITY AND OUTSTANDING ABILITY, THE REVOLUTIONARY
BOLDNESS AND FARSIGHTED VISION OF COMRADE HUA KUO-F1NG AS THE 'n
LEADER OF OUR PARTY. THEY FUR T~HER Pi OVE THAT THE DECISION CHAIRMAN
MAO TOOK BEFORE HIS DEATH WAS EXTREMELY WISE, THAT CHAIRMAN MAO' s
CAUSE HAS A WORTHY SUCCESSOR A IT) THAT OUR GREAT SOCIALIST
MOTHERLAND HAS AN INFINITELY FRIGHT FUTURE.

ONE KEY POINT OF ALMOST EVERY STRUGGLE BETWEEN THE TWO LINES
IN THE HISTORY OF OUR PARTY HAS BEEN THE BATTLE WAGED BY THE
PROLETARIAT TO DEFEND THE STATUS OF ITS PARTY LEADER AGAINST THE
PLOTS OF BOURGEOIS CONSPIRATORS AND CAREERISTS TO USURP SUPREME
LEADERSHIP OF THE PARTY. SUCH WERE THE MOMENTOUS STRUGGLES
AGAINST THE SETTING UP OF A BOGUS CENTRAL COMMITTEE BY CHANG
KUO-TAO, THE COUNTERREVOLUTIONARY "OUTLINE OF ' PORJECT 571'"
OF LIN PIAO, AND THE PLOT OF THE "GANG OF FOUR" TO USURP PARTY
AND STATE POWER! THE CRUX OF THESE STRUGGLES IS WHETHER TO
UPHOLD THE CORRECT MARXIST-LENINIST LINE, PERSIST IN MAKING
REVOLUTION, PERSEVERE IN GOING FORWARD AND LEAD CHINA TO A BRIGHT
FUTURE OR TO FOLLOW AN? ER?RONFOUS OPPORTUNIST AND-REVISIONIST
LINE, OPPOSE THE REVOLUTION, PUSH THINGS BACKWARD AND DRAG
CHINA DOWN TO DARKNESS. IN A WORD, THE CRUX IS WHETHER TO
FIRMLY REMAIN RED OR TO PERSIST IN GOING BACK TO DARKNESS.
A GREAT VICTORY HAS BEEN WON IN THE CURRENT STRUGGLE!
THE PROLETARIAT HAS ONCE AGAIN DEFEATED THE BOURGEOISIE;
SOCIALISM HAS ONCE AGAIN DEFEATED CAPITALISM AND MARXISM HAS
ONCE AGAIN DEFEATED REVISIONISM. WE HAVE COMPLETE TRUST IN
THE LEADERSHIP OF THE PARTY CENTRAL COMMITTEE HEADED BY THE
PARTY'S LEADER, COMRADE HUA KUO-FE,1G, AND ARE FULLY CONFIDENT
IN THE OUTCOME OF FUTURE STRUGGLES.
LOVE FOR OUR PARTY, OUR STATE, OUR ARMY AND OUR PEOPLE: FINDS
CONCENTRATED EXPRESSION IN LOVE FOR OUR LEADER. EVERY MEMBER
OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY, EVERY REVOLUTIONARY FIGHTER, SHOULD WITH
HIGH CONSCIOUSNESS LOVE, SUPPORT AND DEFEND THE LEADER OF CUR PARTY.
COMRADE HUA KUO-FENG'S ASSUMPTION OF LEADERSHIP OF OUR PARTY CONFORMS
TO THE NEEDS OF THE REVOLUTION AND IS AN INEVITABLE HISTORICAL
OUTCOME; IT IS THE COMMON ASPIRATION OF OUR HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS
OF PEOPLE AND A RELIABLE GUARANTEE FOR THE CONTINUOUS TRIUMPHANT
ADVANCE OF OU; PARTY AND STATE ALONG CHAIRMAN MAC'S PROLETARIAN.
REVOLUTIONARY LINE. WE WILL RESOLUTELY FIGHT TO THE END AGAINST
ANYONE WHO DARES TO OPPOSE MARXISM',-LENINISM-MAO TSETUNG THOUGHT
AND TEE PARTY CENTRAL COMMITTEE HEADED BY CHAIRMAN HUA
KUC-FENG. /"WE MUST FIRMLY rOLLO`.v OUR OWN ROAD, SAFEGUARD THE
CAPABILITY OF OUR PARTY TO CARRY OUT ITS WORK, AND DEFEND
THE LEADER OF OUR PARTY."/ (PAGE 25 ! , VOLUME 2-5, "COLLECTED WORKS
OF LENIN").
