Serviny, Tho People
Wo should bo modest ard prudnet, puard against arr
rogance and razhness, and cerve the Chinese People heart
and soul ...
Dur paing of departur: ie to sorve the people vholr
heartedly and never for a rosent diveres eurselves from
the masses, to prceed inali cases froia the interests or,
from the interests of a sinl}. group, and to identify
our responsibility to the people with our responsibility
to the leading organs of the Party. =
The organs of atate mast practise democrtic cen- .
tralism, they uust rely on the masses and their per-
sonnel gust serve the people
Comrade Bethunes spirit, his uttor devotion to others
without enynthougit of self, was shown in his boundless
sense of reponsibility in hit work and his boundless warm-
herted ness towards ell conrades and he people. Every ©
Communist must learn from hii.

All our cadres, whatever their rank, are servants
of the people, and whatever we do is to serve the people.
HOw then cen we be reluctant to discard any of our bad
traits?
OUr duty is to-hold ourselves responsible to the p
people. Every word, every act and every policy must con- -
form to the people's interosts, and if mistakes occur, .
they must be correctod- that is whet being responsible
to the people.means.
Whgrever thore strusgle there is sacrifice, and death
42 a comnon occurrence. But we have the interests of the
people’ and the suiferings of the great majoritu at
heart, andwhen we die for the people it is a worthy death.
Nevertheless, we chould do our best to avoid unnecessary
sacrificos
All men mst die, byt death can vary in its significance -’
The ancient Cuinese writcr Szuma Chien said, "Though deth
befalls all men alike, it m&y be haveavier than Kount Tei .
or lighter than a feather." To die for the people is heavier
than Mount Tai, byt to work for the fascists and.die for _
the exploiterd and oppressors is lightor than a feather. ~
