毛泽东是中华民族空前的民族英雄,我们应站在民族的立场研究与评价毛泽东,这是首要的根本之点。就方法而言,我们应从历史的高度衡量毛泽东;在纷繁复杂的历史现象中,要抓住主流和本质,不要为支流和现象所迷惑;要反对实证主义的历史学和主观主义的历史学;要历史地、具体地分析毛泽东所犯错误的复杂原因;要实事求是地、辩证地看待毛泽东所犯错误付出的代价。 Mao Zedong is an unprecedented national hero of the Chinese nation. We should study and evaluate Mao Zedong on the basis of our nationality. This is the first fundamental point. In terms of methodology, we should measure Mao Zedong from the historical height; in the complicated historical phenomena, we should seize the mainstream and the essence, do not be fooled by tributaries and phenomena, oppose the historical science of positivism and subjectivism, We must historically and specifically analyze the complicated causes of Mao Zedong’s mistakes. We should truthfully seek truth from facts and dialectically pay the price Mao made mistakes.
