Features: Gu Zhun was diligent in reading, thinking, and writing. He was one of the earliest scholars in China to systematically argue for the necessity of commodity and currency in socialism and advocate giving full play to the role of the value law. This required great courage at the time, and he paid a price for it. Despite the punitive labor and personal humiliation he endured in his later years, he never lost his spirit. On the contrary, adversity and the harsh realities led him to fundamentally reflect on the laws of historical progress and the future of the nation. In his final years of life, he devoted all his energy to the study of history, economics, philosophy, and the theory of Marxism-Leninism, writing a vast amount of notes, the value of which is immeasurable. This book consists of "historical self-account" materials written by Gu Zhun during the "Cultural Revolution" and other self-examinations about his life and thoughts, clearly marked by that era.
