Mr. Zhu Zheng once said: Li Rui authored numerous works throughout his life, with Lushan Meeting Record being his most enduring contribution. This book has had five editions to date. The first edition was co-published by the Central Party School's Chunqiu Publishing House and Hunan Education Publishing House, with a print run of 10,000 copies distributed under internal control. Printed in May 1989, the author received 150 sample copies on May 8. By some divine protection, the book was published before the June 4 Tiananmen suppression; otherwise, it might have been delayed indefinitely. Subsequently, Hong Kong's Tiandi Books published it in Traditional Chinese vertical edition in 1993. Henan People's Publishing House released a revised second edition in January 1995 and a third revised edition in June 1999. In May 2005, during Hu Jintao's tenure, Li Rui was listed as a sensitive writer by the General Administration of Press and Publication, and Lushan Meeting Record was banned in mainland China. In May 2018, Hong Kong's Tiandi Books published the latest revised Traditional Chinese vertical edition.
Recently, there is no paper copies available after Tiandi Books avoided response on purchase requests. Consequently, Li Nanyang decided to have the book republished in the United States by Fellows Press of America, Inc ( visit its website for more detail in Chinese) to make it available to readers.
The first edition of this book was completed at the end of 1988, with an Author's Publication Note as follows: The Lushan Meeting, held in July and August 1959, is a profoundly significant chapter in the history of the Chinese Communist Party. The author, Comrade Li Rui, participated in the entire meeting and was later criticized as a follower of the 'Peng Dehuai Anti-Party Group' in its final stages. In 1980, while discussing the draft of the 'Resolution on Certain Historical Issues of the Party Since the Founding of the People's Republic of China, ' the central leadership comrade overseeing the drafting, upon reviewing the author's lengthy speech on the Lushan Meeting, suggested in a letter dated November 19: 'Could you take responsibility for writing a detailed historical account of the Lushan meeting? After completion, it can be supplemented and reviewed by relevant comrades. This is an important task, worth investing great effort in. If our generation passes away (as life is unpredictable), who will write this crucial historical record, and what might it become?' Based on personal notes and relevant original materials, the author completed this book in the summer of the year. Given that several publications about the Lushan Meeting are already in wide circulation, some of which are either too brief or contain inaccuracies, this book is printed in a limited quantity for internal distribution, intended for Party history research and reference by relevant comrades. Readers are kindly requested to provide criticism and corrections for any inaccuracies to aid the author in making revisions for a definitive edition in the future.
Subsequently, revised editions were publicly published in China in 1994 and 1999, with approximately 100,000 additional words of more detailed records and articles written later by the author commemorating Peng Dehuai, Huang Kecheng, Zhang Wentian, and Zhou Xiaozhou. Notably, the postscript to the revised edition mentions: The initiator of this book, Hu Qiaomu, has passed away. After receiving my gift copy, he once told me in person: 'I suggested writing this book, and I take full responsibility for it.' He also expressed that future editions should be publicly distributed.
