党中央和毛主席号召我们“勤俭建国,勤俭办企业”。我们来到北大荒开荒生产,建立农场,就是要给国家生产粮食、工业原料、奶、肉和鸡蛋等农牧产品,支援国家工业建设与国防建设,同时也是为自已的美满的生活而劳动。我们农场现在还正在进行基本建设,我们农场的基本建设投资,是千百万工人和农民兄弟辛勤劳动的果实,要把我们国家建成一个先进的工业国,是要经过一个相当长的艰苦奋斗的阶段的,我们人民的生活要随着生产的发展逐步改善,我们的工资不能一下子提得太高,因 The Central Party Committee and Chairman Mao called for us to “diligently and thriftiy establish a business and do business thriftily.” When we came to the Northern Wilderness to open up wasteland and establish farms, we wanted to provide our country with agricultural and animal husbandry products such as grain, industrial raw materials, milk, meat and eggs, support national industrial construction and national defense construction, and at the same time work for their own happy life. Our farms are still undergoing capital construction. The capital construction investment in our farms is the fruit of the hard work of millions of workers and peasants and brothers. To build our country into an advanced industrialized country is going through a rather long and arduous struggle Our people’s life needs to be gradually improved with the development of production. Our wages can not be raised too much at one go.
