3. See Moise, “Land Reform,” pp. 217-20, for my disagreements on this point with Wong, Land Reform, p. 177.

4. See Chou Li-po, The Hurricane, pp. 375-76. After 1948 CCP leaders generally discouraged such things, although they remained fairly common at the village level. The only late document I have seen that suggested that participation in the struggle could be a legitimate factor in distribution of the fruits of the struggle was a statement by the mayor of Wuhan, who said that nonagricultural laboring people (who would not otherwise have been eligible) might be given a share in the fruits of the struggle against the landlords if they had helped the struggle. Changjiang ribao, 28 November 1951, p. 2.

5. Crook and Crook, First Years, pp. 6, 33. Renmin ribao, 11 November 1951, trans, in CB, 143:5.

6.Changjiang ribao, 9 December 1951, p. 1.

7. “On the Correct Handling of Contradictions among the People,” 27 February 1957, excerpt quoted in the New York Times, 13 June 1957, p. 8. The statement cited here is not in the official version of this report, but I believe in its authenticity. See also Loh and Evans, Escape from Red China, p. 291, which quotes Mao as saying slightly over 700,000 were executed.

8. Both the number of executions in these areas before 1949 and the number in other areas after 1949 would have been relatively small.

12. There is a report on Party rectification by Chen Boda, published in Renmin ribao, 7 July 1947, p. 2, which seems remarkably similar to documents of the Cultural Revolution.
