0005 - Brilliant Model For Helping The Left And Cherishing The People. The ...Front

Brilliant Model For Helping The Left And Cherishing The People. The Military Commission of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party issued an order recently, conferring the honoured title of "model in supporting the Left and cherishing the people" on Li Wen-chung, leader of fourth platoon, sixth company, 6011 unit. Without the least regard to his own life, the heroic platoon Leader Li Wen-chung struggled in the swift torrents, saving young revolutionary fighters one after another. The last words uttered by him before giving up his life were: "Let me be, save the Red Guards." As he drew his last breath, his thought was of Chairman Mao and of Chairman Mao's Red Guards.
