1962年4月17日

一個人的作用，對于革命事業來說，就如一架機器上的一顆螺絲釘。機器由于許許多多的螺絲釘的聯結和固定，才成為一個堅實的整體，才能夠運轉自如，發揮它巨大的工作能力。螺絲釘雖小，其作用是不可低估的。我愿永遠做一個螺絲釘。螺絲釘要經常保養和清洗，才不會生銹。人的思想也是這樣，要經常檢查才不會出毛病。

April 17th, 1962

A person’s function regarding the revolution is just like a bolt on a machine. The machine has many bolts that function together and only then does it become a solid whole, revolving freely and displaying its incredible working ability. Although the bolt is small, do no underestimate its function. I want to be a bolt- forever! The bolt must be maintained and cleaned, so it will not rust. Human thought is similar. It must be inspected frequently to avoid failure.
