At the beginning of 1967, many military institutions and the founding generals experienced turmoil and defeat, which led to emotional and apprehension, and they were eager to meet with *** to understand the situation in society.
** Quickly fulfilled everyone's wishes, and on January 22, an enlarged meeting of the Military Commission was held and everyone was received.
Before the meeting, only one chair was placed on the rostrum, symbolizing that only *** person sat on the rostrum.
** Always like to mingle with the crowd and don't like to be alone.
After he saw this scene, he motioned for veterans such as ** and *** to sit on the stage, but none of them said anything.
* humorously said that they would rather stay down and concentrate on the lecture.
** Says that if they are really on the side of the revolutionary left, it's like singing and needs to be shown.

** Special praise was given to Gan Weihan, the founding lieutenant general of the political commissar of the Chengdu Military Region, saying that he dared to communicate with the masses of the two factions, and as a result, his home was safe.
Subsequently, ** went on to elaborate on the rationale for supporting the revolutionary left, and asked everyone if they had any doubts.
There was silence in the room, but no one answered ***'s question.
Xu Shiyou, commander of the Nanjing Military Region, stood up to speak, saying that he had adopted the policy of "wearing a high hat" in the struggle against the rich and the bad, and questioned why he had adopted the same way in dealing with his own people.
He expressed the doubts in everyone's minds.
Xu Shiyou's speech is representative.
Under the circumstances at that time, the reason why Xu Shiyou stood up and spoke out was, on the one hand, because he had profound revolutionary qualifications and dared to face problems head-onOn the other hand, Xu Shiyou is a capable leader of ***, and he has a deep relationship with ***, so he dares to speak freely in front of ***.

Xu Shiyou dared to pick out the problem, representing the voice of many people, even though there were marshals, generals and many founding generals present at that time, they chose to remain silent, only Xu Shiyou dared to stand up and say what everyone thought but did not say.
**After learning about Xu Shiyou's point of view, he did not reproach him, but took over the topic and talked about his reflection on the excessive use of exaggerated words and extravagance.
Obviously, ** attaches great importance to the question raised by Xu Shiyou.
He stressed the importance of solidarity, pointing out that we must focus on the overall good, avoid individualism, and unite as long as we can contribute, regardless of individual position.
In addition, ** also talked about his own experience of being opposed, and even jokingly said that he would cooperate against him three times.

After the speech, I also took a group photo with everyone.
At that time, there was no standing position when taking pictures, and everyone stood at will.
Some high-profile figures squeezed forward to stand in plain sight.
Xu Shiyou was very dissatisfied when he saw this scene, and angrily took Zhang Zhen's hand and loudly said that he wanted to go to the back.
He was fearless, bold and straightforward, deliberately amplified his voice, and really stood in the last row with Zhang Zhen.
This is also confirmed by the ** above.
