Greenhalgh's 2005 account states Li Xiuzhen reacted with excitement to Song Jian's projections at the same December 1979 Chengdu symposium where Liang Zhongtang dissented

The same paragraph of Greenhalgh's 2005 China Quarterly article that names Liang Zhongtang as the most outspoken critic of Song Jian's group at the December 1979 Second National Symposium on Population Theory in Chengdu (see claim-greenhalgh-2005-quote-names-liang-zhongtang-as-outspoken-critic) continues past Liang's dissent to describe the reaction on the other side: "China's population officials, by contrast, were very impressed. According to those present, Li Xiuzhen, the number two in command at the Leading Group, was very excited about the projections" (p. 270). Greenhalgh's footnote 59 sources this to both "Interview with population specialist, 19 December 2003, Taiyuan" and Li Xiuzhen's own 1980 article, p. 3 — the identical Renkou Yanjiu document the vault independently holds and has read directly (see entity-li-xiuzhen).

This is new to the vault: the existing note drawn from this same paragraph, observation-greenhalgh-2005-kwakernaak-citation-and-liang-quote-share-one-narrative, quotes the paragraph with an ellipsis that elides exactly this sentence, moving directly from "very impressed" to Chen Muhua's rebuke of Liang. Naming Li Xiuzhen specifically, with a documented reaction, puts her in the same scene as Liang's dissent by name rather than only by shared conference and calendar week — one paragraph of one Tier-1 source placing both seed notes' protagonists as participants reacting to the same presentation.
