- , volume I, number 34, Foreign Broadcast Information Service, sourced from Peking NCNA Domestic Service and People's Daily, translation of original in Chinese, →ISSN, →OCLC, National Affairs, pages E 14–E 15:
- As a result of Lin Piao and the "gang of four's" reckless, unbridled sabotage of the party's various policies for the rural areas, their trampling on the production team's right to stand on its own feet, and their arbitrary orders and unscrupulous commandism, agricultural production and commune members' livelihoods were greatly jeopardized. Deeply victimized Tingyuan County is an example.
The "gang of four's" representative in Anhwei, disregarding the country's practical situation and the production teams' right to stand on its own feet, forced the county to expand paddy rice production. As a result, the county reaped almost nothing on more than 200,000 mou of rice paddies each year; grain output did not increase for many years; output of cotton , oil-bearing crops, tobacco and other crops dropped by a great margin; and commune members' incomes decreased and their lives became more difficult.
During the struggle to penetratingly expose and criticize the "gang of four," the Tingyuan County party committee has dared to destroy and construct, conscientiously implemented the party's various policies for the rural areas, highly respected the production team's right to stand on its own feet, and freely mobilized the masses to grow what's appropriate to local conditions; it has thus quickly reversed its passive situation, overcome the difficulties caused by "man-made calamities" and natural disasters, achieved an overall bumper harvest og grain, cotton and oil-bearing crops, and put an end to the situation of constantly poor agricultural production. Tingyuan County's struggle fully indicates that respecting the production team's right to stand on its own feet is of great importance and significance in speeding up agricultural production.]
