Huang Kecheng: As an important figure in military history under the red flag, Huang Kecheng held key positions in the Red Army, the War of Resistance and the War of Liberation. In 1955, he was appointed Chief of the General Staff of the Army, ranking third among many generals, demonstrating outstanding military experience. Despite this, he was removed from his post in the late 50s on false charges and remained incognito for decades.
It was not until the late 70s that Huang Lao returned to an important leadership position and served as the executive secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Huang Kecheng has always been straightforward, and has been demoted or even dismissed many times because of his outspoken advice. His personal experience, personality and moral character are closely linked, making him the best candidate for the secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Against the backdrop of the times, Huang Kecheng's work focused on redressing unjust, false and wrongful convictions and cracking down on corruption within the party.
In the early days of the reform, the social atmosphere gradually improved and opened up, and the supervision of the behavior of senior cadres within the party and the military became more extensive and effective. Cadres and the masses can report some unhealthy practices through anonymous letters and assist the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in carrying out its work. However, in June 1980, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection received three letters of informance in succession, the contents of which made the staff feel "very difficult".
These three letters all concerned Comrade ***, then chairman of the Military Commission.
The first letter reflected that when I visited Nanjing, Jiangsu Province not long ago, the relevant departments broke away from the masses and carried out a warning belt, which affected the lives and travel of the local people and left a very bad impression on peopleThe second letter pointed out that the used chair had actually been moved into the museum, which was seen as the new "The last letter mentioned the former residence of ***, and someone wanted to build the mansion of his hometown into a "great man memorial."
Such an approach was considered inappropriate. Obviously, even the discipline inspection department has difficulty making up its mind about such a report letter for a while, let alone taking practical action immediately. So the subordinates handed these letters to General Huang Kecheng, explained the relevant situation, and asked him for instructions. Huang Kecheng put on thick reading glasses and slowly read the three letters.
Then he folded the letter and said one word without hesitation: check. Such a decision would not be easy for any senior cadre, but Mr. Wong's reaction after reading the letters was entirely in line with his usual style. Huang Lao did not act rashly, his decision was well thought out, and there must be a profound truth in it.
Huang Kecheng has a unique understanding of ***, and he is the designated "** person" in his later years. Although he is younger than many old revolutionaries, and many senior cadres do not know him very well, Huang Kecheng has a special understanding of him. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Huang Kecheng served as the secretary of the provincial party committee in Hunan, and at the same time, ** was Huang Kecheng's subordinate in Hunan at that time, and the two had a lot of intersections.
Later, ** also served as the secretary of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee and became the leader of the local party and government, which also showed a special fate. Huang Kecheng and *** had the same view of the country's top leader when he was alive: ** is steady and kind, giving people a sense of peace of mind.
Therefore, Mr. Huang's intuition is that the content of these whistleblower letters may not be completely true, and even if there are relevant circumstances, they may not be directly linked to Chairman Hua. However, out of his duties, Huang Kecheng served as the executive secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and he couldn't be perfunctory and neglected the investigation, how would his colleagues and subordinates think about it?Therefore, he had to investigate.
Huang Kecheng's judgment was verified, and Chairman Hua severely criticized the relevant staff members at the first time and corrected the actual situation. The last thing is a pure misunderstanding. **'s brother repaired the house in his hometown, because it was all about the Chinese family, rumors spread, and later it was even rumored to build a "** memorial". After investigation, it was found that it was completely false.
In order to reduce the impact and support Chairman Hua's work in **, the local house repair action was also stopped. In retrospect, Huang Lao was indeed a person who dared to find out the truth, which is exactly where the character and work style of the older generation of revolutionaries lie, they were selfless and fearless.
Even during his lifetime, Huang Kecheng had several disagreements with him, but it was all on the basis of facts, and from the perspective of the public, he showed great selflessness.
