Wang Dabin: From a peasant child to the "five leaders".
In 1941, Wang Dabin was born in a poor rural family in Sichuan. When he was a child, he lived a hard life, and lack of food and clothing was common. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Dabin finally ushered in the opportunity to change his fate. He was fortunate enough to enter the school, and was even admitted to the Beijing Institute of Geology. Originally, he was supposed to concentrate on studying Xi geology, but due to the deterioration of relations between China and China, Wang Dabin was forced to interrupt his original plan and change his engineering department. In this college time after several twists and turns, ** broke out.
In the "Breaking the Four Olds" movement, it is no longer possible for Wang Dabin to stay out of the matter. He chose to actively participate in the political movement of the rebels, and soon established himself at the Beijing Institute of Geology, becoming one of the student leaders. In front of the "revolutionary class", he was a dark horse, who quickly rose to become the head of the Revolutionary Committee of the Institute of Geology, and even became the commander-in-chief of the "Dongfanghong" martial arts faction, ranking among the "five leaders". The originally ordinary rural children have become the focus of attention.
The arrest incident revealed benevolence and righteousness.
At the beginning of 1966, there was a lot of political turmoil. In the situation of struggle at the top level of the party, many cadres of the older generation have become victims. **As a founding father, he was not spared. At that time, the Red Guard rebels were instructed by the Beijing ** Cultural Revolution Group to try to forcibly "arrest" *** to Beijing for criticism and interrogation. Wang Dabin came forward as the commander-in-chief of "Dongfanghong", and this action attracted much attention.
The process of performing the task was not smooth, Wang Dabin did not treat him roughly*** in the end, on the contrary, from the communication between the two, Wang Dabin's rationality and benevolence can be seen. He reported his thoughts to the ***, and did not regard the meritorious older generation of fathers as black sheep. Wang Dabin tried his best to maintain the dignity of the elderly, and this detail reflects his quality. In the end, under his escort, **returned to Beijing safely, without being subjected**. Wang Dabin's actions have made many historians believe that it is precisely because of his benevolent actions that he has saved *** from the fate of being criticized. However, this incident also involved him in political turmoil and caused controversy.
Bumpy experiences are stained with the wisdom of life.
As the leader of the Red Guards, Wang Dabin rose rapidly in the Cultural Revolution, but it was difficult to get to Shu. In 1971, in the context of rectification, Wang Dabin was expelled from the party and sentenced to 9 years in prison on the grounds of "historical issues". Such an eye-catching "five leaders" have disappeared in the long river of history.
In 1983, Wang Dabin was released from prison. After that, he lived a modest life and became an ordinary worker until old age. Time has passed, and Wang Dabin is no longer as sharp as when he was young. He chose to return to his hometown and spend the rest of his life in peace, and live out in Chengdu for the rest of his life. These bumpy life experiences also seem to be stained with the color of his wisdom. Before his death in 2019, Wang Dabin never said a word, and no one knew the truth about many historical doubts. But his low-key life also reveals deep thoughts on the history of that era.
Wang Dabin's life is a typical Chinese legend. He jumped from the poor countryside and overturned because of the political movement. Even if the second half of his life is as plain as water, the moral feelings demonstrated by the sudden change of fate have made this immortal legend a reality. With the passage of time, these histories still have value that people continue to pay attention to.
This incident quickly aroused heated discussions among netizens, some netizens believed that Wang Dabin's active participation in the political movement as a leader of the Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution was a wrong choice and should not be involved in a power struggle;Some netizens also thought that Wang Dabin was young and vigorous at the time, and it was understandable that he chose to follow the general trend;Some netizens believe that in the arrest incident, Wang Dabin's rationality and benevolence are worthy of affirmation, and he has played a role in protecting the older generation of cadres. These views are different, but they all agree that Wang Dabin, as a product of the world, has a life of the times, and his fate reflects the turbulence and complexity of Chinese society in that era.
Wang Dabin's legendary life is embarrassing. We should not be too harsh on the products of an era, but should be tolerant and understanding. He went from being a nobody, to becoming a "Big Five", and then being discredited because of "historical problems", these experiences reflect the madness and cruelty of the entire era. However, the rationality he showed in the arrest of *** also revealed the brilliance of human nature. Looking at the back of Wang Dabin who has learned to live indifferently, what kind of historical thinking and life insights can we find?This question is worth thinking about for every reader.
