In 1962, late autumn in Beijing had arrived, and the chill was getting stronger. In this pale weather, a heavy and oppressive atmosphere permeated a villa on the outskirts of Beijing.
Living in this villa is the *** marshal who just encountered Waterloo at the Lushan Conference not long ago.
The autumn breeze was bleak outside the window, but the house was quiet. **Sitting alone at a desk, holding a brush, and in front of him is covered with dense manuscript paper. He was writing a letter, a masterpiece of 80,000 words, to his old friend
For many days, the injustice and anger he encountered at the Lushan Conference has been haunting ***'s heart, making him sleepless at night. Therefore, he decided to give out his views and worries about the serious problems existing in the party through this letter and went straight to the desk of ***.
** is a straightforward person. He first reviewed his achievements in the army and the army for many years, and expressed his sincerity to the party and the people.
Then, he mercilessly exposed the serious violations of party discipline and state law and the corrupting atmosphere of the two senior party members, and pointed to the crux of the problem.
The first of them was Ke Qingsi, who confronted him at the Lushan Conference.
During the Great Leap Forward, this veteran party member vigorously advocated the absurd argument that "eat more and labor is stronger", which led to unimaginable losses for the country.
What's even more incredible is that this old comrade not only did not reflect on his mistakes, but instead sang against *** at the meeting and bewitched the masses, which finally caused *** to suffer Waterloo and was removed from his post.
**Angry, how can an old party member degenerate to such a degree?
He ruthlessly exposed what Ke Qingsi did during the Great Leap Forward and his performance at the Lushan Conference, which made *** realize that such a person has completely deviated from the correct line, and if it is not curbed in time, it will cause unimaginable harm to the party and the country.
And the other person is Kang Sheng, a senior member of the party.
He used the influence he had accumulated in the cultural circles to suppress many outstanding writers and historians over the years, creating a large number of unjust, false and wrongful cases, causing countless talented intellectuals to be criticized and overthrown, and many classic works were banned from publication.
All of this stems from Kang Sheng's narrow-mindedness, blindness, and narrow-mindedness. What makes *** even more angry is that Kang Sheng obviously has serious political differences and personal grievances with himself, which makes it clear to *** that this person is using his position to suppress dissidents, which has deviated from the party's purpose and must be stopped in time.
Writing this, **'s pen turned to the injustice he encountered at the Lushan Conference.
He focused on exposing how Kang Sheng and Ke Qingsi joined forces to besiege him at the meeting, distorting the facts and fabricating incidents, which ultimately led to his own Waterloo.
He hopes that through the letter, *** can see the true colors of these two people, how to join forces to frame dissidents at the meeting, so as to take advantage of the situation to seize greater power.
After writing this 80,000-word letter, ** gently put down the pen and let out a long breath. He knew that once the letter was delivered, it would inevitably cause an uproar within the party.
But for the sake of the overall situation of the party and the country, he believes that it is necessary to let *** see the truth clearly. Whatever the outcome, he will not hesitate.
Early the next morning, the letter was delivered to Zhongnanhai by hand. When *** opened the envelope and quickly skimmed through the contents, his face was hard to see.
Subsequently, he immediately summoned **, Dong Biwu, ** and other old comrades-in-arms for urgent discussion.
Everyone agrees that the worries of ** are not unfounded. Through years of contact, they have gradually seen the problems of these two people. Decisive action must be taken to contain them if an even greater intra-party crisis is to be avoided.
As a result, ** immediately made a decision to expel Ke Qingsi and Kang Sheng from the core of power in the party in the name of cleaning up the wrong cases in the party. and conduct a thorough investigation of their crimes to set an example.
After the news spread, there was an uproar within the party. But soon, the situation was brought under control. Under the correct leadership, a more united core of collective leadership has gradually taken shape, and the work of the country has gradually returned to the right track.
This has played a crucial role in the development of the party and the country. And Marshal *** was also reaffirmed in this incident. Soon after, after Comrade Qu Yuan's many arguments, he was able to rehabilitate Zhaoxue and serve as Minister of National Defense, continuing to serve the country.
**also left a good comment on the eternal "Lao Ji is in the woods, aiming for a thousand miles".
** He has practiced what loyalty to the party is with his life, and he has never given up on the party and the country, so that our red country can be guarded.
Now, in the new era, every member of the Communist Party should learn from the fearless spirit of Marshal ***, make contributions in their respective posts, and continue to strive for the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
