In October 1967, shocking news broke from the Beijing Institute of Technology (now the predecessor of the Beijing Institute of Technology): Wei Siwen, who had now been dismissed from his post and was the founding general of the People's Republic of China at the time, had been killed in a critical process.
Despite the urgency of the situation now, one person died, and all of them died, and the matter caused an uproar.
**, the vice minister of the State Science and Technology Commission at the time, ordered the case to be handed over to the Beijing Garrison District for interrogation. After some investigation, Wei Siwen was quickly buried on the spot, and the two classmates involved in the matter were also released, and the case came to an end.
Wei Siwen is a founding general with great military achievements, and he is also the former president of the Military Academy, why was the murderer not harmed?This incident can be traced back to the period when Wei Siwen participated in the revolution.
Former President of Beijing Institute of Technology.
Wei Siwen was born in 1910 in Wenshui County, Shanxi Province. Wei Siwen, who was born in poverty, received a revolutionary education at an early age and joined the Communist Party at the age of seventeen. In 1929, he entered various colleges and universities in Beijing to study and Xi, and participated in a series of college sports activities.
In 1932, Wei Siwen was sent to Inner Mongolia, Shandong and other places to carry out secret work. At that time, the White Terror was rife and dangerous, Wei Siwen was arrested by the Kuomintang authorities. In the face of the loss of freedom, he was firm in his conviction and heroically waged a stubborn struggle against the enemy, and was greatly tested both physically and mentally.
Wei Siwen was liberated in the war between the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang against Japan. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as the Minister of Zibo and the Deputy Director of the Organization Department of the Shandong District Party Committee, participated in the guerrilla warfare in the anti-Japanese base areas, and participated in revolutionary activities in many places.
Wei Siwen worked with the People's Liberation Army to liberate Shandong in the War of Liberation. During the advance to the southwest, he served as the deputy commander of the Second Regiment of the Southwest Corps and participated in the liberation process of the southwest. Soon after Wei Siwen came to work in Sichuan, he came to Beijing to take up his post with the liberation of the country.
Organizationally, according to his personality characteristics, he participated in the preparatory work for the establishment of Beijing Institute of Technology and concurrently served as the president of the school. Beijing Institute of Technology was established on the basis of the former Yan'an Institute of Natural Sciences, and at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it undertook the important task of cultivating and cultivating outstanding military talents for the army.
Under the leadership of Wei Siwen, the work of the Beijing Institute of Technology has been carried out in an orderly manner, and its research team has made outstanding contributions to the development of rockets, anti-tank missiles and astronomical instruments in New China.
When Wei Siwen was working at Beijing Institute of Technology, he paid great attention to the daily life of teachers and students, which created a favorable basic environment for the development of our school. Wei Siwen's work at the University of Engineering has been highly praised by **, and ** and *** have personally praised him.
The cause of death is full of suspicion.
Although Wei Siwen's comprehensive results at Beijing Institute of Technology are commendable, the criticism of him has never stopped. There are two points that are very controversial:
First, in the late 50s, the army selected a group of cadres and soldiers from schools as students for exchange Xi. A small number of them, due to their own poor conditions, have difficulty adapting to the school, and often violate the rules and regulations of the school. With Wei Siwen's consent, the two were expelled from school, which caused dissatisfaction among many people.
Second, during the "Four Qing Dynasty" period in the 1960s, when teachers and students of the academy went to the countryside to participate in work, Wei Siwen extended the working hours without discussion, and the poor living environment caused dissatisfaction among the teachers and students.
Wei Siwen didn't say much on these two issues. In addition, Wei Siwen's affair in the academy has been spreading, although it has not been proven, but his reputation is extremely poor.
In 1966, the working group of the State Commission of Science and Technology for National Defense announced that Wei Siwen would be dismissed from his post. Due to the specific background of the times, two opposition factions emerged in the Beijing Institute of Technology, both of which looked at Wei Siwen unpleasantly and seized any opportunity to criticize him.
In early 1967, while repairing Wei Siwen's house, construction workers found two guns in the cracks in the walls. Wei Siwen's home was the residence of a high-ranking military officer before the liberation, and he did not undergo any renovation after moving in, so he naturally did not know the origin of this gun.
They took the opportunity to force Wei Siwen to tell the truth, but Wei Siwen couldn't bear the torture, so he could only admit the crime he had committed, but he couldn't say anything. Wei Siwen was interrogated for several days, suffered a lot of injuries, and could not be rescued.
The leading body of the Ministry of National Defense has also conducted some in-depth research on Wei Siwen, but because the matter itself has a reason and there is a lot of resistance, the matter has not been resolved. Wei Siwen was the only person in the school who was killed because of a fight during a very special period.
** In 1972, he wrote a directive to Wei Siwen, asking him to be a revolutionary martyr. Wei Siwen was restored by the state in 1978 and a memorial service was held.
