The scope of veteran cadres is different in different historical periods. At present, generally speaking, all cadres who participated in revolutionary work before the founding of the People's Republic of China belong to the category of veteran cadres. These include: veteran cadres during the first revolutionary civil war; Veteran cadres during the Second Revolutionary Civil War; Veteran cadres in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period; Veteran cadres during the war of liberation. 1April, 1982, the Notice of the State Council on Printing and Distributing Several Provisions on the Retirement and Rest System for Veterans (Guo Fa 198262) stipulated that the conditions for retired cadres are: those who participated in the revolutionary war led by China * * Production Party before the founding of the People's Republic, enjoyed the full-time supply system and engaged in underground revolutionary work, and reached the age of retirement and rest. Retired cadres meet the requirements. All areas liberated before the end of 1948 can be regarded as individual old areas. The measures for wages and benefits stipulated by the people's governments in these areas are the wage system formulated by the local people's governments, and also include other wages and benefits recognized by the people's governments. Such cadres can retire. National cadres assigned by organizations to work in collective enterprises and institutions due to work needs may apply for retirement if they meet the retirement conditions stipulated in document No. 198262 issued by the State Council. To determine and change the time for cadres to participate in revolutionary work before the founding of the People's Republic of China, in principle, the autobiography, resume and dry test conclusion filled in my file should be the main basis, and it cannot be changed only by my current application or explanation. If the materials I filled out before the "Cultural Revolution" were not recorded, or were recorded, and now I want to change them, I will try my best to confirm them from the archives and historical materials preserved by relevant references. If the references are not recorded in the historical archives or are inconsistent with my current statement, the references provided by me cannot be found, and generally the time for them to participate in revolutionary work cannot be changed.
The situation of your old man should be based on my file and the conclusion of the organization department and personnel department. Not all the people who took part in the work before the founding of the People's Republic of China were retired cadres.
