In some books, there is an inscription by Mao Zedong: "If we die for the people, it is a fair death." Its annotation is that Jiao wrote an inscription for a good example of the county party secretary, and the time is 1966 February 7th.

At first, the author had no doubt. 1in the autumn of 999, in order to find out the ins and outs, the author wrote to Mr. Jiao, a good example of the county party secretary, asking about it. A few days later, Mr. Wang asked his secretary to call and say: I was very moved to know Jiao's deeds and read the newsletter written by our Xinhua News Agency reporter. However, because Newsletter was published in the early days of the Cultural Revolution, the activities of learning and publicizing Jiao were impacted and forced to be interrupted. Unfortunately, Mao Zedong didn't leave Mo Bao for a martyr.

So, how did this inscription appear? It turned out that this newsletter was first published in People's Daily on February 7th after it was broadcast by Xinhua News Agency. 1966. In the newspaper that day, the headline was quotations from Chairman Mao, and the second was this newsletter. The quoted content is the sentence at the beginning of this article. The text is printed and the signature is handwritten.

Perhaps it is for this reason that people later mistook it for Mao Zedong's inscription.

So, where did the quotations from Chairman Mao published in People's Daily come from? After investigation, this is a passage in Mao Zedong's article "Serving the People". The whole sentence is: "The people of China are suffering. We have a responsibility to save them, and we should work hard. If you want to struggle, you have to sacrifice. Dead people often happen. But we are thinking about the interests of the people and the suffering of most people. If we die for the people, we die well. " In addition, it can be proved that the inscription on the lying tablet of Lankao Jiao Martyrs Cemetery in Henan Province is not the "inscription" quoted at the beginning, but the handwriting written for the "April 8" martyrs in the mid-1940s. "It is glorious to die for the people". According to Mr. Mu Qing, Mao Zedong was visiting other places at that time. The decision to publish this newsletter was made by Peng Zhen, then secretary of the Central Secretariat and secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee.
