Chairman Mao crossed out the list of members of the Central Committee of Chen Guang, and Chen Guang

Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-31

In 1954, a cadre of our party ended his life with **. If he had not been so desperate, he would most likely have been awarded the rank of general the following year. Regrettably, he took the extreme path by refusing to admit his mistakes, which is a real pity. This cadre is Chen Guang, who has made great contributions to the revolutionary cause of our country and is an important leader of the North China Bureau of the Communist Party of China, but in the end he fell into a tragic end, and people can't help but wonder what kind of ups and downs he has experienced. At the "Seventh National Congress" of the Communist Party of China in 1945, Chen Guang almost became a member of the committee, but he was removed from the list of candidates. This incident caused an uproar, and Chen Guang even questioned the chairman in public why he acted like this, because with his qualifications and contributions, becoming a member of the first committee should be a matter of course.

** explained the reason to him, and got Chen Guang's understanding, and the turmoil subsided. However, the incident also exposed Chen Guang's character flaws, which could well have been the source of his tragic end. Chen Guang participated in the revolution very early, relying on more than a dozen guns to start his revolutionary activities, and became a well-known Red Guard captain at that time. However, the Kuomintang was powerful and launched a siege and interception of the Communist Party, and Chen Guang could not resist it, so he had to choose to temporarily avoid the edge. It wasn't until 1928 that Chen Guang met Mr. Zhu, threw himself into his banner without hesitation, fought against the local tyrants together, and then went to Jinggangshan and became a member of the Red Army. After joining the Red Army, Chen Guang showed courage and helped Lin Zong relieve the siege in 1930, so he was commended by the organization and continued to be promoted.

**I also take a fancy to him, think that he is a manufacturable material, and hope that *** will cultivate him well. During the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Guang led his troops to fight in Shanxi, achieved remarkable results, and even temporarily replaced General Lin as the division commander. However, his subsequent disappointing performance, miscommand errors, and frequent conflicts with other comrades led to his dismissal. In the subsequent "Seventh National Congress" of the Communist Party of China, many people nominated Chen Guang as a member of the first committee, and when he was full of confidence and thought that he was sure to win, he found that his qualification was canceled by the chairman. This made him extremely angry, and he directly asked the chairman at the meeting: Have I offended you?Chen Guang thought that *** was deliberately targeting him at the time, but this was not the case.

** It was not unreasonable to disqualify Chen Guang, because at that time, a number of comrades in the North China Bureau had already been elected, and Chen Guang might cause discontent in other regions. This decision focused on the overall situation, and the chairman personally wrote to explain it afterwards, and finally Chen Guang reluctantly expressed his understanding. However, Chen Guang's behavior after that is incomprehensible, he seems to have forgotten his original intention and indulged in his own world. Believing that he had contributed to the revolutionary cause and therefore deserved the respect of all, he began to act unscrupulously. During the liberation period, he was a subordinate of Mr. Lin, but he thought that he had saved Mr. Lin, and he had no respect for this superior, and the contradiction between the two deepened day by day. In addition, when cooperating with Ye Shuai, he was still self-centered, ignored the orders of his superiors, and was impulsive and reckless, which angered Ye Shuai.

Even though Ye Shuai harshly criticized, he still did not repent, which led to further tension between the two. ** He has been commented that he is easy to be proud and complacent, and it is difficult to get along with others. However, he was oblivious to his mistakes and insisted on going his own way, which eventually led to a catastrophe in 1950. He violated organizational discipline by privately running training courses, and although he was motivated by goodwill to take care of the children of martyrs, he should also abide by military discipline and not do whatever he wanted. Ye Shuai talked to him again after learning about it, but he still refused to admit his mistake, and even Lin Shuai, the head of military affairs in Central South China, also learned about it, and finally removed him from his post and imprisoned him. During this period, many old comrades persuaded him to admit his mistakes, but he always refused, and even thought that Lin Shuai was deliberately retaliating and that he was a victim. After nearly four years in prison, he remained stubborn and finally chose to commit suicide by arson.

In fact, as long as he realized his mistake and the organization was still willing to give him a chance to mend his ways, he would not have embarked on this road of no return. Fortunately, in 1988** announced the revocation of all wrongful punishments against him, so that his children would be treated as they should be, and he was given a fair account.
