Zhu Ziqing's incorruptibility and patriotism won high praise from Comrade Mao Zedong. In the article Farewell to Si Tuleideng, he wrote: "Wen Yiduo was angry with the Kuomintang pistol and would rather not give in. Zhu Ziqing was seriously ill and would rather starve to death than accept American relief food. " "We should write a hymn to Wen Yiduo and Zhu Ziqing. They showed the heroism of our nation. " [ 10]
"Mr. Zi Qing is a typical figure among intellectuals in the old society. He used to be a liberal. He doesn't like to take part in political activities, especially fierce and aggressive activities. However, he has a sense of justice. With the strengthening of the enslavement and oppression of the people of China by the Kuomintang and American imperialism, he could not stand the armed provocation, slaughter and repression of the people of China. He demonstrated his attitude through cultural life, poetry recitation and yangko dancing. He distinguishes right from wrong and clearly distinguishes between love and hate. In his twilight years, he finally took a clear-cut stand, held his head high and stood up, preferring to starve to death and resolutely refusing the enemy's "relief." This virtue and integrity are worth learning today. " We China people have backbone. Many people who used to be liberals or democratic individualists stood up before the US imperialists and their lackeys, the Kuomintang reactionaries. "
