Saturday, 20 March

Fifteenth day of the second lunar month

4.30 p.m. I arrived back in Kuibyshev.

I received a telegram from Bingkun, saying that mother and the staff of the Central Bank arrived safely at Liuzhou, and he has also borrowed 20,000 Chinese dollars from the bank. I was greatly relieved on receiving the telegram. I then cabled Section Chief Chen Junsu to borrow US$500 from my salary on behalf of me. I also knew that Jinpei and others were in the same place.
