single person of the clans and relatives came to their assistance.
There was no possibility for them to make fuss as their power was
shorn off. This even proves that Chiupao District has been extremely
thorough in spurring the masses. Otherwise, it was impossible to
carry it through to this extent.
All these glorious exemplary instances (the instances of this type
are still many elsewhere) have given a Bolshevik reply to the call of
the Party and the Central Government and have proven the absolute
correctness of the directives of the Central Bureau and the Central
Government. Whenever these directives were completely carried

As for the Party’s leadership in the land investigation, in
places where achievements were made in land investigation it has
been clearly demonstrated that the party’s leadership role has been
resolute. The majority of the rank and file of the Party has engaged
in numerous combat programs with Bolshevik bravery under the leadership
of the branch and district committees. In places where little
