MAO ZEDONG AND LE DUAN

Beijing, 24 September 1975

Mao Zedong: Today, you are not the poorest under heaven.  We are the poorest.  We have a population of 800 million.  Our leadership is now facing a crisis.  The Premier (Zhou) is not in good health, he had four operations in one year and [the situation] is dangerous.  Kang Sheng and Ye Jianying are not in good health either.  I am 82 years old.  I am very ill.  [Mao points to Deng Xiaoping] Only he is young and strong.
