Pingyuan

— The North China Government was absorbed by the central government when it was formed in October 1949, but just prior to that time (in August 1949) Pingyuan Province was formed with its capital in Hsin-hsiang (in present-day north Honan).

— Party organizations at all levels in Pingyuan County have grasped the strengthening of rural management cadres training as a major link in doing a good job of management, thus raising the correct thinking of the cadres, raising their professional level and promoting the implementation of the party's various economic policies in rural areas.[…] This situation was all the more serious when the gang of four were running rampant. As a result of the struggle to expose and criticize the gang of four, party organizations at all levels in Pingyuan County have understood that strengthening training for management cadres and helping them smash spiritual shackles and succeed in understanding policies and their work are major measures for eliminating disorder and for doing a good job of rural management.
