Big-character poster victims, loss of freedomyears, the later official to the deputy national level
In the turbulent years, speculators are keen to create "open letters", using some extremely provocative words to confuse the innocent public and guide the best direction, so as to achieve their ulterior goals.
In case you don't know, China's first "open letter" came from Peking University, and it was mostly critical of the university's leader, Peng Peiyun, who was arguably the first victim of the turbulent times.
Peng Peiyun, a native of Hunan, studied at Southwest Associated University, transferred to Tsinghua University for further study after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and joined the Communist Party of China under the influence of his classmates. In 1950, she was transferred to the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, and in 1964, she became the deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Peking University.
Nationally, however, in 1966, the idea of the "Left" spread and the political winds changed. The corrupt element Kang Sheng intended to take this opportunity for personal gain, and sent his wife Cao Yiou into Peking University to incite reaction.
Cao Yiou tried to persuade many school leaders to "consciously" adapt to the situation and take the lead in "taking action". However, Peng Peiyun was deeply unhappy with this. She is a sober-minded person who is well aware of the sinister trends in society and cannot allow the situation to deteriorate further.
In order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, she and other school leaders jointly issued an open letter, calling on all teachers and students to exercise restraint, treat them rationally, focus on their studies, and refrain from participating in any political activities.
Cao Yiou was very dissatisfied with Peng Peiyun's non-cooperation, so he began to be hostile to Peng and began to plan how to teach Peng a lesson. Nie Yuanzi, a middle-level cadre of the second-level college of Peking University, is ambitious and obedient to Cao Yiou's words.
Cao Yiou instructed Nie Yuanzi to write a big-character poster to fire the first shot of the "revolution" against the "rightists", and this so-called "rightist" was Peng Peiyun and others.
Nie Yuanzi painstakingly wrote a big-character poster and posted it on the bulletin board of Peking University, pointing directly at the "pedantic" and "conservative" of Peng Peiyun and other three school leaders. At first, the students of Peking University were able to maintain their sanity and resist this groundless slander, but with the further development of "leftist" ideas, some students began to be affected, and their attitude towards Peng Peiyun changed from close to dissatisfied.
Cao Yiou seized the opportunity, took advantage of the momentum, and pushed the ** to a climax. Eventually, Peng Peiyun was suspended from his position and lost his freedom for nine years. Cao Yiou and Nie Yuanzi were regarded as pioneers and were once learned by the people of the whole country.
In 1975, Peng Peiyun restored his reputation under the care of *** and returned to work at Peking University. After the turmoil, she served in a number of key departments and made important contributions to the development of our country's cultural and educational undertakings.
Nie Yuanzi was imprisoned in 1976 and 1983, while Cao Yiou was dismissed and demoted to a concubine. In 1987, Peng Peiyun was transferred to the discipline inspection department, and the following year he was transferred to the director of the Family Planning Commission.
At that time, China's population was growing rapidly, and the country's population burden was heavy. In order to solve this problem, Peng Peiyun began to cooperate with the first-class policy, control the population growth rate, and advocate fewer births and better births, and after years of efforts, the country's population has been stabilized.
In 1993, she joined *** in charge of women and children's work. She pointed out bluntly the inequality between men and women in China, as well as the injustice of women to women by the remnants of feudalism in some regions.
She believes that the state should promote the emancipation of the mind, eliminate the remnants of feudalism through propaganda and other methods, make women independent from male power, and protect women's rights, so that they can live freely and equally.
In addition, she has also visited Zhenjiang, Jiujiang and other places many times, and with the help of local people, she has established a medical system, which has solved the problem of difficult and expensive medical treatment for ordinary people to a certain extent.
Soon after, the system spread across the country and eventually evolved into the Medicare we use today. In 1998, Peng Peiyun was transferred to the National People's Congress as a deputy national **, and after entering the new century, he withdrew from the front line due to physical reasons and moved to a more relaxed position.
After officially retiring, she moved to a dry rest house and lived a leisurely life, only wanting to spend her old age in peace, and rarely appeared in the public eye. Today, she is 93 years old.
Peng Peiyun was a rational and determined person, in that turbulent year of 1966, she did not follow the crowd, always insisted on independent thinking, did not want to get involved in any political battles, and was only willing to devote herself to the cause of education.
However, the corrupt did not let her go, and did everything possible to pull her into the vortex, causing her to suffer many injustices. Fortunately, she was eventually reinstated, returned to work, and made outstanding contributions to the transformation and development of the country in this new era.
She is an excellent cadre who deserves our deep admiration and learning.
