From January 28th to 3th, Marshal Zhu De, Xu Teli, Wu Yuzhang and Xie Juezai visited Guilin. On the 29th, 77-year-old Zhu De and 87-year-old Xu Teli climbed the Mingyue Peak in Diecai Mountain and sang a poem together. Marshal Zhu De's poem is: "Xu Lao's hero is the same as the bright moon peak. Climb without a stick, take off your hat and enjoy the east wind. " Xu Teli answered and sang: "Mr. Zhu is more heroic, and his peers climb the peak first. Take the cloud pavilion to look up and draw water to the spring breeze. " Marshal Zhu De likes climbing mountains, and he doesn't need help. He said, "Walking by others can't take the place of walking by himself. Other people's revolution can't replace their own revolution, but they should go by themselves. " "Climbing a mountain is the same as doing a revolution. Don't be afraid!"
from February 23rd to 25th, Marshal Chen Yi, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of the State Council, accompanied Cambodian Prince Sihanouk to visit Guilin. Vice Premier Chen Yi wrote a poem "A Tour of Guilin" and presented it to comrades in Guilin and Yangshuo County. The poem says, "Water is a green ribbon and mountains are like jade hairpin. The caves are quiet and deep, and there are wonders everywhere. Guilin's three wonders are enough for a lifetime. " "I would rather be a Guilin person than a fairy." Another poem "You Yangshuo" wrote: "Guilin Yangshuo is connected with water, and you can see thousands of peaks quickly." "Guilin Yangshuo inseparable, reckless Party A and Party B nearly stupid. It' s foggy in Guilin, and it' s full of red in Yangshuo. "
