Mr. Chen is always a very sharp person, and many people think that he is a bit like a far-sighted person, and his speech is very prescient.
In the summer of 1966, Xiao Wangdong (founding lieutenant general and old man of the New Fourth Army), who was then the vice minister of culture, called Mr. Chen and wanted to communicate with the old chief about how to participate in this movement. Mr. Chen readily agreed, asked him to come over immediately, and asked the guard to pick him up at the door.
After Xiao Wangdong arrived at Mr. Chen's house, he said the concerns and problems in his heart. Mr. Chen did not hide his old subordinates, and bluntly talked about his views: "First, we must believe in ***, and second, we must believe in the masses." ”
Third, it is Mr. Chen's reminder to Xiao Wangdong: "From the perspective of a big sport, there must be a situation of fishing in troubled waters, and a few bad guys will jump out." Then, Mr. Chen said with a very positive tone: "There is a person, I don't think he is a good person, but you don't have to be afraid." is not a good person, and in the end he is destined to be unrewarded. ”
Who is this "one of the people"?In order to avoid more adverse effects, Mr. Chen did not say it directly, but Xiao Wangdong probably knew that someone had become extremely active. Many years later, Xiao Wangdong looked back on the past and said with emotion: "Mr. Chen's prophecy back then has been confirmed by ruthless history. ”
At the beginning of October 1966, after a work meeting, Mr. Chen took the initiative to invite cadres from East China to dinner. This is a common practice, every time they come to Beijing for a meeting, they will knock Mr. Chen for a meal. During the dinner, everyone inevitably discussed what had happened recently, as well as their own situation, and there was no one who was not worried about it.
Mr. Chen listened to it almost and had a general understanding of the local situation, so he raised his head, looked around, and began to speak. He first talked about the German "Ma, En" and Bernstein, then about Lenin, Stalin, and Khrushchev in the Soviet Union, and finally about our own present.
The things of other countries and others in front are just an introduction and foreshadowing, and the focus is on the end. "*'s prestige is known at home and abroad, but now some people praise him so highly, why do you need to praise him so deliberately. I see, history always has striking similarities. I'll put it here, he shouldn't be a traitor, I don't have the surname Chen. Mr. Chen said.
Mr. Chen's every word made everyone present shocked and a little frightened, especially when he finally guaranteed the ticket, he silently doubted in his heart, "Can this be said?"Is it that serious?"At that time, most people didn't understand some of the things that had happened recently, and they didn't think it was okay, but they didn't think there was a big problem with someone.
Last time, there was just one Xiao Wangdong, and Mr. Chen didn't name him, but now that there are so many people eating, he won't name him. Everyone guessed who Mr. Chen was talking about, and even if they didn't know, they didn't dare to ask. Mr. Chen can always say that it is because there is not much difference in the status of the two;Others say this, which is somewhat out of place and easy to get angry.
Mr. Chen is not the kind of person who runs the train with his mouth full, especially on such an important issue. Everyone waited for him to go on and see what signs could be indicatedBut he chose to remain silent and did not go any further. As far as Mr. Chen is concerned, what he can do and what he should be reminded has been done and said, if someone still doesn't pay attention and force it up, then there is no way. After all, good words are hard to persuade damned ghosts, and great compassion is not self-exterminating.
On February 16, 1967, at the meeting presided over by **, ** angrily denounced some of the behaviors of ***. **After speaking, you have to pick up your bag and leave. But Mr. Chen hurriedly pulled him to stay: "Don't go, stay!."”
Subsequently, Mr. Chen made a brief speech. Although it is not long, it goes straight to the essence of the problem: one is Stalin, the other is Khrushchev, and the other is the affairs of the Yan'an period. Mr. Chen's many predictions were finally fulfilled in "913".
Others are prophecies in one word, but Chen Lao always speaks in several words.
