Joan Hinton: In Remembrance
The
following is a letter sent by the CPGB-ML to the Memorial Meeting for Joan
Hinton held in China on 18 June 2010. Michael Crook, shown in front of Comrade
Joan’s picture, with his mother, Isabel Crook, delivered the Party’s message at
the meeting.
CPGB-ML Message
The Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist) and Hands off China! join with you in celebrating the life of
Comrade Joan Hinton, a staunch internationalist communist fighter, who devoted
decades of her life to the Chinese revolution, to peace and to the
anti-imperialist struggle.
In particular, over a protracted
period, Comrade Joan, living a simple and hard working life, both made great
contributions to the development of China’s dairy industry, improving the lives
of the Chinese people, and also helped people throughout the world to
understand the true picture of the New China and the achievements of the
Chinese people in building socialism.
For all this, she deserves our respect
and all communists should learn from and emulate her internationalist spirit.
Please accept our fraternal greetings
and convey our condolences to Comrade Joan’s family, comrades and colleagues.
