Character experience

Before the Cultural Revolution

On September 13, 1945, Kuai Dafu was born in Binhai County, Jiangsu Province. His grandfather was a soldier of the New Fourth Army, and his parents were members of the Communist Party of China in the 1940s.

In 1953, Kuai Dafu, who had just turned eight, went to school. Kuai Dafu's father attaches great importance to children's education. Before he sent Kuai Dafu to primary school, he also told him a lot of advice. He told Kuai Dafu that after he went to school, he must study hard and become an educated revolutionary successor in the future. Kuai Dafu remembers his father's words. After going to school, he studied very hard. In the primary school of his village, Kuai Dafu studied hard and got excellent results. After graduating from primary school, Kuai Dafu was successfully admitted to middle school. Kuai Dafu's good grades also made his parents very happy. After he graduated from junior high school, he decided to continue to study in senior high school. In this way, Kuai Dafu entered Batan middle school in Binhai County in 1960.

Kuai Dafu studies hard and gets good grades, but he is not a nerd. When I was in junior high school, I actively participated in various activities organized by the school and became the backbone of students.

Kuai Dafu's parents are both Communist Party members. Growing up in such a family, Kuai Dafu showed strong interest in political activities and strong organizational ability. Kuai Dafu left home to live in school since he was in junior high school. He has been living independently for a long time, which makes him mature at a young age. He has a strong self-determination and self-care ability. The experience of living a collective life with his classmates also made Kuai Dafu good at getting along with others and surpassing the organizational ability of his peers.

In high school, Kuai Dafu was a student cadre. He was not only an active participant in various activities organized by the school, but also one of the organizers of student activities. Kuai Dafu is a good student with outstanding political performance and excellent academic performance. The school also attached great importance to him. Soon after Kuai Dafu entered high school, the school Youth League absorbed him into the Communist Youth League. It was not easy to join the Communist Youth League in those days. At that time, the number of League members was small. Joining the Communist Youth League was not only the representative of the young pioneers, but also one of the reserve forces of the Communist Party.

In 1963, Kuai Dafu graduated from high school and took the college entrance examination. He applied for Tsinghua University. In September of that year, he was admitted by the Department of Engineering Chemistry of Tsinghua University.

During the Cultural Revolution

On June 1, 1966, the full text of Nie Yuanzi's big character newspaper was broadcasted by the central radio station, and a revolt was launched all over the country. Kuai Dafu went to some universities to read big character newspapers and soon asked for an open debate with the head of the working group at Tsinghua University. In June 1966, he first proposed "bombardment" to suppress the working group of the cultural revolution and demanded to seize power. The working group thinks that Kuai Dafu is a "false left, true right", and Kuai Dafu is beaten as a right-wing student. He was expelled from the league and held for 18 days for hunger strike in protest. On July 21, Chen Boda sent Wang Li and Guan Feng, members of the Central Cultural Revolution, to Tsinghua University to visit Kuai Dafu in custody. On 29 July, the working group withdrew. On August 4, Chen Boda and others went to Tsinghua University to participate in a meeting criticizing the implementation of the "bourgeois reactionary line" by the working group headed by Wang Guangmei. Kuai Dafu was "liberated" and became a famous leftist. Kang Sheng instructed Kuai Dafu from Tsinghua University to attend the "Cultural Revolution activists" conference held by Beijing Municipal Party committee in the Great Hall of the people. Then Kuai Dafu participated in the establishment of Qinghua Jinggangshan corps and became the first leader (known as "commander Kuai"), and became the deputy commander of the revolutionary and rebellious headquarters of the red guards in the capital colleges and universities (also known as the third headquarters of the capital red guards, referred to as the third Division).

On December 18, 1966, Zhang Chunqiao, deputy leader of the Central Cultural Revolution Group, met Kuai Dafu alone in the west gate of Zhongnanhai, listened to the report, and assigned the task of overthrowing Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping. After Kuai Dafu returned to Tsinghua, he held a meeting of Jinggangshan headquarters to convey this spirit. On December 25, Kuai Dafu led more than 5000 people to march from Tsinghua University to Tiananmen Square. Along the way, with the slogan of "down with Liu Shaoqi" and "down with Deng Xiaoping", he arrived at Tiananmen Square and held a "down with Liu and Deng as the representatives of the bourgeois reactionary line". Then, we will make a speech, distribute leaflets and post big character newspapers in Wangfujing, Xidan, Beijing station, Caishikou and other prosperous areas. It is known as the "12th Five Year Plan".

"Smart capture of Wang Guangmei": in the evening of January 6, 1967, Kuai Dafu phoned Wang Guangmei, falsely claiming that Wang Guangmei's daughter Liu Pingping was injured by a car and was being rescued in the people's Hospital, requiring the signature of her parents. So Liu Shaoqi and Wang Guangmei drove to the hospital. They did not find their daughter, but saw their son and another daughter who were held as hostages. Later, Wang Guangmei was detained and taken by the red guards to Tsinghua University for criticism. The next day, with Zhou Enlai's intervention, she was able to return home. For this matter, Kuai Dafu once declared: "it is glorious to spread rumors for the revolution!" From then on, Kuai Dafu took the lead in pushing the slogan of "down with Liu Shaoqi" to the whole country.

In 1967, he was appointed by the Central Cultural Revolution to participate in the "storm of seizing power in January" in Shanghai. March took the lead in criticizing "February countercurrent".

On April 10, 1967, the red guards of Tsinghua University held a meeting of ten thousand people to criticize Wang Guangmei. Peng Zhen, Lu Dingyi, Bo Yibo and Jiang Nanxiang took part in the fight.

On April 20, 1967, the Beijing Municipal Revolutionary Committee was established, and Kuai Dafu became a member of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal Revolutionary Committee and deputy leader of the core group of the red guards Congress of capital colleges and universities.

In the first ten days of June 1967, the Beijing rebels formed the "battle line command of Liu Shaoqi", besieged Zhongnanhai, and ordered Liu Shaoqi to write an examination, bow his head and admit his guilt, and accept criticism by shouting slogans, pasting slogans, broadcasting through loudspeakers, and even fasting. Kuai Dafu and his Jinggangshan regiment play the main role in the fire line headquarters.

On July 25, 1967, Lin Biao received the red guards, and Kuai Dafu also boarded Tiananmen Square. On the 27th, after the "720" incident in Wuhan, under the instruction of Wang Li, Kuai Dafu put up a slogan of "down with Xu Qianjin". On the 28th, the tabloid of Qinghua Jinggangshan Corps published a statement to overthrow Xu Qianjin. On the evening of the 29th, a group of people under Kuai Dafu copied Xu Qianxiang's house. On the 30th, Kuai Dafu held a seminar at the headquarters of Qinghua Jinggangshan Corps. At the meeting, Kuai Dafu beat the cadres of the second and fourth front armies into the "Liu Deng line with guns" and further incited them to "overthrow Xu Qianjin". He presided over the "current situation analysis meeting" attended by red guards from all over the country and put forward the slogan of "pulling a small group of soldiers inside the army".

On October 17, 1967, Kuai Dafu published "long live the proletariat seizing power" in Jinggangshan newspaper, and talked about "seizing power".

In May 1968, Kuai Dafu organized the general headquarters of Wengong Wuwei of Jinggangshan corps of Tsinghua University to direct the fighting between the two factions of Tsinghua University. In the early morning of the 30th, 18 people were killed, more than 1100 injured, and more than 30 disabled for life, resulting in direct economic losses of more than 10 million yuan. The fighting of Tsinghua University has caused large-scale fighting of Peking University and Beijing Normal University. On July 27, the Capital Workers' Mao Zedong thought propaganda team (hereinafter referred to as the team) entered Tsinghua University, but was resisted by Kuai Dafu's men. Five members of the team were killed and more than 700 injured.

In the early morning of July 28, 1968, Mao Zedong summoned Nie Yuanzi, Kuai Dafu, Han Aijing, Tan houlan and Wang Dabin as "five leaders" and criticized Kuai Dafu. The five leaders returned to school and mobilized their men to lay down their arms and stop fighting.

In November 1970, Kuai Dafu was sent to Tsinghua University for examination in the name of May 16. After the examination in 1973, he was assigned to Dongfeng Chemical Plant of Beijing general petrochemical works to supervise the work.
