Zhang Wentian is an outstanding Marxist of our Party. In his glorious life, whether he was in a high position, dismissed from office in Lushan Mountain or banned during the Cultural Revolution, he was open-minded, selfless and loyal to the revolution. He lived a frugal life, not for fame and fortune. His son Zhang Hongsheng works in the library of Nanjing University, and his whereabouts have been unknown for decades. Before he died, Zhang Wentian handed over all the 40,000 yuan he had saved over the years, leaving no money for his children. Zhang Wentian's wife, Liu Ying, also left a will before her death in August, 2002: all the copyrights of Zhang Wentian should be turned over to the state, and all the deposits in the family should be paid the last membership fee. It embodies the noble quality of * * * public and forgetting private, innocence and integrity.
