In preparation for the arrival of the investigation team, the Bashu Provincial Committee had made very thorough preparations. As soon as they had received prior notifications from the Office of the State Council and the Central Committee, and learned that the investigation team would be led by Vice Premier Yin, the provincial authorities in Bashu had made meticulous and detailed arrangements.
At an emergency standing committee meeting held a few nights earlier, they had made an elaborate division of labor concerning every aspect of the reception for the investigation team.
