hope for personal success; but I am content to leave

my character to the judgment of future generations.

I am indifferent to praise or blame, success or failure.

I desire only to be as Sz Ho Fat of the Ming "ynasty or Man Tin Tseung and Ngok Fei of the reign of Sung.

I beg that all of you will follow me and become as

Luk Sau Fu and loyal followers of our late President.

After all whatever dissension may be caused

by those at the rear, we at the front must continue to

fight to the end against our enemies as before and

refuse to come to any terms with them. Whatever oppression

the Soviet Representative may exercise over us and

whether Soviet Russia will continue to assist our

Revolution or not, we must continue our opposition

against International Imperialism, to the end. We will

continue our fight with all our might at the front as

before, despite lack of funds, and will never give our

enemies the least chance to defeat us. We will work hard

for our Kuomintang and country until we die, and this is

our steadfast resolution.

nothing more to add. Should anyone be found to dis-

seminate malicious propaganda to the prejudice of our

Revolution, we must treat him as a reactionary or an

enemy. Our only hope is that freedom and equality be

realised for China, and our National Revolution brought

to a successful issue. We must treat

We must treat anybody who opposes

our Revolution as a reactionary, and my last word to

you is to ask you to devote your earnest attention to

the study of my present position.
