ABSTRACT

On December 8, 1965, the CCP Central Committee and Chairman Mao held a meeting in Shanghai exposing and criticizing Lo Jui-ching's mistakes. After the meeting, the Party Central Committee and Comrade Chou En-lai patiently tried many times to educate and help him. Not only did Lo Jui-ching refuse to investigate honestly his own mistakes, but he even expressed grievances and in many instances made excuses for himself. Lo Jui-ching distorted and opposed Chairman Mao's theory on class struggle. In 1958 Lo Jui-ching started on a large scale the "ten-eliminations movement", which was limited strictly to eliminating counterrevolutionaries, eliminating thieves, eliminating vagrants and rowdies, eliminating fire damage, eliminating automobile accidents, etc. Lo Jui-ching openly revised Chairman Mao's theory that wherever the masses are there will be three kinds of conditions: progressive, intermediate, and backward. Lo Jui-ching is a typical example of someone self-centered and abysmally undemocratic.
