I enclose a copy of translation of the People's Daily editorial reported in TUR which appeared in the Beijing Review of 11-17
December. I must confess to having mis-translated the author's
name as Rong Shiping rather than, as it should have been, Gu Shiping.

Unforgiveably I failed to notice the absence of a "roof" (
versus
容 )
-
mea culpa... In all events, the name Gu Shiping
means as little to us as Rong Shiping.
Your ever
Shaun
