Fu Zuogong is a tragic figure in modern history, his cousin Fu Zuoyi has made great contributions to the peaceful liberation of Beiping, but Fu Zuogong did not take advantage of the situation to ascend to the throne, but was trapped in the ** farm, and finally died of illness and hunger.
As a highly talented student of Jinling University, Fu Zuogong studied forestry, and he is also very good at water conservancy, after the liberation, he took office in the Ministry of Water Resources, in 1952, Gansu Provincial Chairman Deng Baoshan was ready to build water conservancy, change the backward appearance of Gansu, he asked the old chief Fu Zuoyi for help, hoping to send people to Gansu to support
At that time, life in Gansu was very difficult, from Beijing to Gansu, no one in the Ministry of Water Resources wanted to go, Fu Zuoyi in order to play a leading role, mobilized this cousin to go to Gansu, Fu Zuogong had lived in Lanzhou for six or seven years, familiar with the situation there, and at the same time in order to support his cousin, he happily went, but this time he never returned to Beijing.
After working in Gansu for five years, a storm hit Fu Zuogong, during the big bang, Fu Zuogong put forward some opinions on the introduction of Tao into Gansu project, which also caused trouble for him, and was soon beaten into a rightist and sent to Jiabiangou **Farm**,
The environment of this farm is very harsh, the barren land has very little precipitation, and the annual output of grain is only enough for three or four hundred people to eat, but due to the expansion of the anti-right, the farm has been sent to more than 3,000 people in less than a year for transformation, and the food shortage has begun to spread here, plus heavy physical labor has to be carried out every day, so that Fu Zuogong, who has never done physical work, began to be unbearable, and there are survivors on the farm who have recalled Fu ZuogongHe wore a pair of big glasses, he was not good at words, because he could not complete his labor tasks, he was often disciplined and punished for not eating, which made him even weaker, and he often curled up in the corner at night, no one knew what he was thinking, and this did not last long, and his roommates never saw him go back to sleep in the kiln, and I knew that he should be dead.
As Fu Zuoyi's cousin, he once wrote to this brother, hoping to lend a hand to help him, there are two theories about Fu Zuoyi's reply after receiving the letter, first, Fu Zuoyi did not believe in his brother's description at all, thinking that he was slandering the reform policy and wanted to take advantage of opportunism through relationships, he replied to the letter and severely criticized his cousin, Fu Zuogong, who received the letter, was completely desperate, and died of starvation on the farm soon after.
The second theory is that after Fu Zuoyi received the letter, he immediately gave his younger brother and daughter-in-law 300 yuan and asked her to bring it to her cousin, but when her younger brother and daughter-in-law arrived at Jiabiangou, Fu Zuogong had been dead for a long time.
In 1960, Minister Qian Ying went to Gansu to investigate, the driver got lost and strayed into the Jiabiangou Farm, Minister Qian found that there were all dead people in the ravines here, and the problem of Jiabiangou was taken seriously, and a working group was sent to investigate, and Fu Zuoyi also asked to go.
After arriving at Jiabiangou, Fu Zuoyi asked Liu Zhenyu, the field manager, is Fu Zuogong here, a section chief of the farm replied on the spot, he may have died, Fu Zuoyi asked, buried in **, Liu Zhenyu wanted to shirk responsibility at this time, and said, it is possible to run away, there is no such person here now, Fu Zuoyi was furious on the spot after hearing this, there are hundreds of miles around Jiabiangou, there are Gobi Desert, he can run to **, it is the Kuomintang period, he also wants to see people alive, and he wants to see corpses when he dies, he is just a rightist, and he is not a murderer, how can he be treated like this, But no matter how angry he is, Fu Zuogong can't be resurrected.
And how did Fu Zuogong die? In the midst of hunger and cold, Fu Zuogong still had to get up at five o'clock in the morning every day to participate in labor, but the severe edema made him almost unable to open his legs, and his fellow refugees who lived in the same place helped him ask for leave, saying that the old man seemed to be useless, his legs were swollen like big radish, and he also pulled black, but the discipline was furious after hearing it, and scolded, this old counter-revolutionary is not a good thing, how many Red Army soldiers his brother killed back then, and now he pretends to be his own person, how can he not pretend to be dead when he slanders socialism, As long as there is still gas, you have to work for me, and after he finished speaking, he sent someone to put Fu Zuogong to the place of labor, and asked him to carry dozens of catties of straw bales on his back
But Fu Zuogong couldn't stand up at all, the discipline asked people to tie Fu Zuogong with a rope, and then dragged him forward, and soon Fu Zuogong fell, the discipline thought that he was playing dead, kicked him a few times, and stopped caring about him if there was no reaction.
Fu Zuogong is only one of the 3,000 people who died in vain in Jiabiangou, less than 500 people can leave here alive, in 1980, the chaos was set right, the problem of Jiabiangou was finally solved, Fu Zuogong was rehabilitated, but more than 3,000 people were buried in the yellow sand, and they could never return to their hometowns, and Jiabiangou also became a painful place that a generation of people never want to mention.
