"Old photo" Mao Zedong Zhu De, Hu Qiaomu and Fan Changjiang are at the Zhongnanhai Yinian Hall in Beijing

On April 13, 1950, Comrades Mao Zedong and Zhu De addressed journalists at the Zhongnanhai Yinian Hall in Beijing. The picture shows Comrade Mao Zedong's speech. From right: Zhu De, Hu Qiaomu, Fan Changjiang.

Mao Zedong said: We have two armies, one is Commander-in-Chief Zhu's and the other is Commander-in-Chief Lu's. This humorous statement indicates a lofty evaluation of Lu Xun. Later published, it was changed to more general language: "Army with gun in hand" and "Army of culture"
