On January 17, 1942, the third edition of the Anti-Japanese War Daily "Letter to the Labor Heroes", author: Xu Fanting Niu Yinguan
Glorious Heroes of Labor:
You have made great achievements in your production and work in ordinary times, and you are very glorious labor heroes! You have made the greatest contribution to the construction of the anti-Japanese base areas in the northwest of Shanxi. On the contrary, some people believe that in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there was no time to actively produce, so that the fields were barren and the harvest was reduced, but in fact this kind of thinking proved completely wrong.
If we want to defeat the devils, defend our hometowns, and build a strong anti-Japanese base area, there will be no guarantee for everything without a good production and construction cause. As the saying goes: "You can't do anything without food, without clothing." Only when our army and government and all comrades in anti-Japanese work are well fed and clothed can we fight Japan, and the lives of the common people will be better.
After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the international and domestic situation became more favorable to the mainland, bringing the mainland's victory in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression one step closer. Chairman Mao said: "The 31st year of the Republic of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is still very difficult", so I hope that you will maintain and carry forward the spirit of active production and work in the past, overcome all future difficulties, make our lives better, fight Japan more powerfully, and turn our northwest Shanxi into an anti-Japanese base like steel!
Heroes of Labor: At such a very meaningful event today, I would like to extend a lofty and warm revolutionary salute to you! and wish you happiness and health!
