For ***, many people mention him and praise him for his role in smashing the Gang of Four.
After the end of the Cultural Revolution, ** also enjoyed high prestige.
In that year, 1.5 million people in Beijing marched to celebrate the crushing of the Gang of Four, and there was also a double celebration at that time to celebrate becoming the new chairman. And many people have also started a new ***, and they have organized all kinds of propaganda about ***.
In this regard, ** is very disgusted, especially the *** problem, he has emphasized many times, don't do *** This is not good.
So, why was *** so opposed to *** back then, and what happened at that time?
On October 21, 1976, Beijing ushered in a grand celebration, the object of celebration was the fall of the "Gang of Four", and at the same time, it also celebrated the official becoming the chairman of the Communist Party of China.
At that time, this double celebration event was known as the "Double Celebration" and was an important turning point in Chinese history.
However, much of the retrospective of this experience focuses on celebrating the fall of the Gang of Four, and the role of celebrating *** is often overlooked.
In fact, China was facing a grim moment at the time. In 1976, after the death of ** one after another, especially after the death of ***, people had great concerns about the future of China.
This period is known as the "power vacuum" period in Western countries, and the Chinese are eager for a new leader to stabilize the situation and promote the country's development.
At this critical juncture, he became the chairman of the Communist Party of China, established a new core of leadership, and took swift and decisive action to successfully crush the "Gang of Four" and bring stability to the whole country.
**'s coming to power is not only the end of the arbitrary rule of the "Gang of Four", but also the expectation of the Chinese for a new leader.
People called him a "wise leader" at the time, expressing their desire for visionary leaders to emerge after ***, and at the same time acknowledging ***'s decisive decisions and clearing political tumors. He has successfully undertaken the legacy of *** and led China to a new future.
In people's hearts, the support for *** is not just superficial, but stems from his sincere support and love. **Emphasize that he is ***personally selected**person**, and even have the fact that *** wrote the six words "You do things, I can rest assured" to him before his death. All this has made the Chinese people have deep trust and respect for the new chairman.
After the collapse of the "Gang of Four", in order to maintain the stability of the overall situation, the party adopted a series of measures to establish the prestige of the party, and these measures undeniably contain some factors.
This phenomenon was criticized by some party members at the time, among them, Yu Guangyuan, who was working at the time, mentioned some objective views in his later statements.
Yu Guangyuan pointed out that after the "Gang of Four" was crushed, **has become *******. However, some party insiders have over-adored him, calling him a "wise leader," a title that has become synonymous with him.
For ***, he himself does not approve of or accept *** against him
He believes that the party's leadership is the fundamental guarantee of China's revolution and construction, and that it will damage the party's collective leadership and democratic centralism, cause corruption within the party, and affect the party's unity and progress.
He once said: "We must adhere to the party's leadership, do not engage in personal arbitrariness, do not engage in personal arrangement, and do not engage in personal arbitrariness." ”
This ideology and attitude of his was formed in the course of his protracted revolutionary struggle and was the embodiment of his firm belief in Marxism.
For example, he participated in the Second Session of the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1958 and supported the policy of "Great Leap Forward" and "People's Commune" put forward by ***, but he also saw the blindness and rashness in these movements.
He was overthrown as the leader of the "anti-party clique" in 1966, imprisoned for more than two years, and subjected to numerous tortures and insults, but he did not give in, did not betray, did not betray, always adhered to his position and views, and maintained his loyalty and confidence in the party.
He took over the position of the party and the state in 1976 and became the top leader of the party and the state, but he did not become complacent, did not inflate himself, and did not abuse his power, but respected and united other leaders and veteran people, jointly discussed and decided on major affairs of the country, restored the party's normal organizational life and work order, and promoted the party's building and development.
At the same time, ** is a humble person, he has no personal ambitions and selfish desires, he is not self-centered, but puts the interests of the party and the people first.
He once said: "I am an ordinary Communist Party member, I have nothing special, I just did my part to serve the party and the people." ”
He also said: "I'm not a hero, I'm an ordinary person, I just did what I was supposed to do. ”
This humble character of his, which he cultivated in a difficult environment, was an expression of his deep affection for the people.
For example, he participated in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1938 and served as the political instructor of a company, he was not afraid of sacrifice and difficulties, led the soldiers to fight bravely, and received many awards for meritorious service, but he never showed off, never proud, never forgot his identity and duties, and always cared for and loved the lives and thoughts of the soldiers.
He was transferred to ** in 1971 and served as the director of the ** General Office, he did not admire vanity, did not covet enjoyment, did not pursue status and fame, but was diligent, hard-working, and served the party leaders, the party's work, and the people's cause.
He took the initiative to resign from the leadership of the party and the state in 1978 and supported the policy of reform and opening up; he did not cherish power, did not complain about dissatisfaction, and did not engage in conspiracies, but sincerely expressed his mistakes and shortcomings, expressed his apologies and gratitude to the party and the people, and expressed his trust and support for the new leading collective.
He is a person with historical consciousness, he is deeply aware of the harm and consequences of the party, he has personally experienced the disaster, he has witnessed the mistakes and mistakes, and he clearly sees the huge losses and injuries brought to the party and the country.
He once said: "* is an extremely erroneous thought and behavior, which runs counter to the basic tenets of Marxism, it runs counter to the essence of socialism, it runs counter to the will and aspirations of the people, and it will inevitably lead to serious consequences." ”
This understanding and judgment of his was formed in the course of his complicated political struggle and was the result of his profound reflection and summing up of history.
