Personage introduction

Wu Xiaofei (1949-1970) is a 19-year-old high school student. From November 1967 to the middle of April 1968, in only half a year, he wrote two political essays with a total of more than 400000 words, and made his own negative judgment on the vigorous "Cultural Revolution" at that time; he dared to mercilessly expose and bitterly punish Lin Biao and Jiang Qing, who had not yet been defeated; he also complained about the eternal injustice suffered by Liu Shaoqi. The manuscripts are widely involved in China's political, economic, military, cultural, artistic and ideological fields. They are rich in content and fluent in writing, especially the latter one, which is rigorous in structure, sharp in writing, and more mature in logical thinking of argumentation, which is difficult for ordinary young people to achieve. He is Wu Xiaofei, a middle school student who suffered in the cultural revolution!

Characters and deeds

I don't understand why to encircle and suppress "Sanjia village"

In the spring of 1949, Wu Xiaofei was born into a family of revolutionary cadres. When he was young, he loved to hear his parents tell stories about revolutionary martyrs, which stirred his heart. Under his influence, he formed a clear character of love and hate.

Wu Xiaofei once studied in Fuzhou No.5 Middle School in junior high school. All his teachers praised him as a straight and diligent student. His talent is generally acknowledged.

At the end of 1965, after criticizing Wu Han's Hai Rui's dismissal from office, the national newspapers launched criticism on "San Jia Cun" and "Yan Shan Ye Hua". It is now very clear that the criticism of "Sanjia village" is directed at the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, but it was not easy to make a correct judgment at that time. But Wu Xiaofei has a red light in his heart. When he was puzzled, he found "notes of Sanjia village" and "Yanshan night talk" to read each article carefully. The articles in the column are knowledgeable, vivid and critical of the current situation, which are loved by the majority of readers. Why is it suddenly criticized as "distorting the party's policy of letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend and advocating the spread of bourgeois ideology"? What's more, it is regarded as "maliciously attacking the general line and the great leap forward" and "slandering and attacking the Party Central Committee headed by Comrade Mao Zedong and attacking the general line of the party." "What's the matter?" Wu Xiaofei's heart is full of doubts.

In order to find out why he wanted to encircle and suppress the Yanshan night talk, he found the head teacher, Mr. Yan, one night and told him his doubts: from how he liked the articles of Deng Tuo, Wu Han and Liao Mosha, to why so many critical articles appeared in the newspaper, and expressed his own idea: is this intentional In the process of creating trouble, the situation will be disrupted and the Beijing Municipal Party committee will be destroyed? Wu Xiaofei talked for three hours at a time. However, how many answers can an ordinary middle school teacher give him?

"Rebellion is reasonable" and "reason" is there?

In August 1966, Wu Xiaofei's father was transferred to director of Nanchang Railway Bureau. With his parents' job transfer, he also transferred to Nanchang No.1 middle school. At this time, the Eleventh Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was held to announce the full-scale development of the "Cultural Revolution". Supported by the tone of "revolution is rebellion" and "rebellion is reasonable", the red guards took all kinds of "revolutionary rebellion" actions. They launched the "renaming movement", banned some clothes and hairstyles, destroyed some things that were considered as seals, assets and repairs, copied the home of "cattle, ghosts and snakes", and wantonly damaged their personal property. What's more, they developed to hit and kill people at will It's a human situation. For a time, the phenomenon of beating, smashing, robbing and copying became more and more serious, and breaking the "four old" became the biggest cultural destruction activity in Chinese history. The red guards' movement of breaking through the "four old" quickly spread to the whole country.

In the face of this strange phenomenon, Wu Xiaofei has his own thinking: why burn books and smash historic sites? Isn't this about destroying history? With such a long history of China, countless wealth has been created and destroyed in our hands. How can we be worthy of our ancestors? It's illegal to make house raids and beat people. Why is it so easy now? You don't have to be responsible for killing people. Why? Why did Lin Biao push Mao Zedong thought to the road of religious superstition? Is it not idealism to honor Chairman Mao as "a great mentor, a great leader, a great helmsman and a great commander" and to preach "eternal life"? Is he really helping or not? Wu Xiaofei had a lot of "why" in his mind. This series of question marks stirred in his mind and gradually sublimated to the height of worrying about the party and the country.

He said, "the rebellion is reasonable. What is the reason?" Just as Wu Xiaofei was pondering over these "why", on September 5, 1966, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the notice on organizing revolutionary students from other universities, representatives of revolutionary students from technical secondary schools and representatives of revolutionary teaching staff to visit the cultural revolution in Beijing. Starting from September 5, college and middle school students all over the country will gather together to spread the fire of the "Cultural Revolution" across the country. At the same time, they hope to exchange the fighting experience of the "Cultural Revolution" movement and publicize the achievements of the fight through the form of series connection.

With the desire to find out the problems and solve them, Wu Xiaofei has also joined in the whirlpool and traveled all over the country to 27 large and medium-sized cities and countless villages and towns. He is not as fanatical as the other red guards, but is calmly observing the political situation. Wu Xiaofei collected a large number of leaflets along the way. Wu Xiaofei was acutely aware of the various social realities he had heard and witnessed that the red guards' actions were actually instigated by Lin Biao and Jiang Qing, and the social unrest was also provoked by them. What they have done has ulterior motives.

Denounce the "Cultural Revolution"

In October 1967, Wu Xiaofei returned to Nanchang after the CPC Central Committee issued a notice to stop the nationwide collusion. He wrote a 200000 word manuscript entitled "Cultural Revolution" in one breath, including four chapters: preface and general outline. "As we all know, after June 1966, an abnormal political event took place in China, a socialist country," he wrote in the preface

Wu Xiaofei pointed out in his article: "why did Lin Biao make great efforts to establish Chairman Mao's authority? I thought that he was preparing for his own usurpation of power to make public opinion." however, "any absolute superstition is nothing but a deceptive vulgar activity" and "all illusions of absolute superstition will be exposed.".

Wu Xiaofei also wrote: "Jiang Qing intervened in the cultural revolution in the capacity of Mao Zedong and the special envoy of the Party Central Committee", "shamelessly used Mao Zedong's capacity and the incarnation of the party to boast everywhere", "and said that Jiang Qing was sent by Chairman Mao. He used Mao Zedong's prestige to incite the "left" faction. "In essence, Jiang Qing is the root of the spread of anarchism in the cultural revolution.".

Due to the development of the situation at that time and the limitation of his own experience, Wu Xiaofei could not write the fourth chapter any more. He himself was not satisfied with rereading these manuscripts. In particular, he felt that as one of the major events in the "Cultural Revolution", it was "the unscrupulous and unreasonable persecution of Liu Shaoqi". Although it was touched in the manuscript, it was not systematic and superficial. An inner impulse from the bottom of his heart drove him to have a new idea of writing.

From August 1966, Liu Shaoqi was gradually knocked down. The president of the people's Republic of China, the second most important person in China, was regarded as "the general leader of the counter revolutionary revisionist group within the party" and "the largest capitalist party in power in the country". Thus, the biggest unjust case of the Republic occurred.

At the beginning of 1968, Wu Xiaofei conceived to write a book on Liu Shaoqi's merits and demerits. He drew up the contents of the book, which is divided into 14 chapters and more than 50 sections. In order to write this book as soon as possible, so that his turbulent thinking will not be interrupted, Wu Xiaofei resolutely locked himself in a room and began a difficult writing process. He often wrote for more than ten hours day and night. When he was tired, he flushed his punch with cold water, washed his face and continued to write. I was so tired that I took a few hours off, got up and wrote again.

After several months of desk work, Wu Xiaofei finished the first chapter of his book with 200000 words, and wrote 15 special topics, which were respectively marked with such subtitles as "Liu Shaoqi's thought of democratic revolution and labor movement", "white area struggle", "the so-called white area faction", "agrarian revolution", "Liu Shaoqi's attitude towards democracy" and "theory of self-cultivation" to refute Lin Biao and Jiang Qing A series of slanders imposed on Liu Shaoqi. Wu Xiaofei devoted a whole section, about 37000 words, to Liu Shaoqi's on the cultivation of Communist Party members. He highly praised that "on the cultivation of Communist Party members" is a wonderful work. It is "Liu Shaoqi's most outstanding representative work on the struggle within the party, and it is also an excellent work on the theory of Chinese Communist Party organization work" and "has great reputation". Wu Xiaofei insisted on his independent opinions and examined the original work sentence by sentence, pointing out which views were "wonderful", "profound" and "impressive". Wu Xiaofei retorted in a sarcastic tone that "the key to cultivation is betraying the dictatorship of the proletariat" in the article "cultivation" concocted by Lin Biao and Jiang Qing, "such cultivation can't touch a hair of Japanese imperialism."
