《文史精华》2002年第10期发表了晓农先生的《叛徒刘厚总杀害项英前后》一文,我读了以后,感到作者对新四军的历史显然不熟悉,传播了一些错误的编造的情节。为了对历史负责,也为了维护《文史精华》存真求实的宗旨,将这篇文章中不符合历史真相的叙述给予指出。我想是完全必要的。为行文方便,以下将这篇文章简称《前后》。 After reading this book, I found Mr. Xiao Nong’s article “Before and after the Rebel Liu Hou-k’ang Killed the British and British Foreigners.” After reading this book, I found the author obviously unfamiliar with the history of the New Fourth Army and disseminated some erroneously fabricated episodes . In order to be responsible for history, and for the purpose of preserving the essence of “literature and history,” it is pointed out that the narrative in this article that does not conform to the historical truth is pointed out. I think it is absolutely necessary. For the convenience of writing, the following article will be referred to as “before and after.”
