On the road to the establishment of New China, there have been many outstanding revolutionary predecessors represented by the first generation, who shed their blood for the motherland in the war-torn era, and contributed their own strength to China's development after the founding of New China.
The founding father we are going to talk about today is that he once led troops to fight in the war years, and served as China's first Minister of Finance in the peace years, and once called him one of the "four famous men" of the economic front, and he has made great contributions to China's economic development.
However, he is such a figure who is both civil and military, but in his later years, he was plagued by rumors. There are two main aspects of these rumors, one is that he once interceded for the ** criminal Zhang Zishan, and the other is that he denied his beliefs in 19 conversations.
It was not until after the death of *** that his children were officially clarified,did not intercede for Zhang Zishan, nor did he talk 19 times.
So, what's going on here? How did the rumors get up?
**Born in 1908 in a small village in Shanxi, he was very naughty when he was a child, because he was tall and right-minded, and he was the child king in the small village.
But the childhood was not all happy, China at that time was stormy, the life of ordinary people was even more difficult, the family was poor, there was a large amount of foreign debt, and even the newborn brother could not be kept, these miserable experiences left a deep imprint in the heart of childhood.
But despite all the hardships, the father of ** firmly believes that children can only have a way out by studying.
** In the end, he could not have embarked on the revolutionary road without the support of his father. When he was a young student, he often published articles in newspapers, and once the newspaper was sent back to the village, there were rumors that *** had joined the Communist Party. When my father heard this, he was not in a hurry, but said: "The poor do not look for the Communist Party. ”
His father's trust has always supported *** after experiencing the May Fourth Movement to become more mature ideologically, so in 1925, he officially joined the Communist Party of China and started a life of selfless dedication to the party.
In 1936, the 28-year-old *** was sent to Shanxi to carry out anti-Japanese activities with the local force Yan Xishan, Yan Xishan admired Yan Xishan very much for this brave and resourceful young man, he was planning to recruit soldiers and expand the corps, so he handed over this task to ***
Considering that once the Corps was formed, Yan Xishan's excessive power would cause a great obstacle to the revolutionary cause in the future, he wanted to develop the revolutionary force of the Communist Party of China among the soldiers.
This idea was strongly opposed by Yan Xishan, but he did not give up, he adopted the method of the examination, while attracting a group of educated and patriotic young people to sign up, while making a fuss about the content of the examination.
On the basis of the compulsory examination questions stipulated by Yan Xishan, he mixed in some questions about the anti-Japanese salvation, and when he was admitted, those who could do the questions related to the anti-Japanese struggle were admitted, and on the contrary, those who did the other questions were not admitted.
In this way, under the nose of Yan Xishan, a progressive youth with great patriotic ideas was selected, and in the later War of Resistance Against Japan, this team continued to grow, creating the Shanxi Taiyue Anti-Japanese Base, in eight years, countless battles, and countless blood was shed for the liberation of China.
In 1943, ** went to Yan'an to attend a conference, which was also his first meeting with ***. For *** has long admired the name, he took Bibi's hand and repeatedly said "walking on thin ice", the two talked happily, and it took a full 8 hours to end. Soon after, the 37-year-old *** became a member of the ** committee with the support of ***.
On the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he personally appointed the deputy director of the Finance Committee, and as soon as he took office, he began to stabilize prices, focusing on "two blacks and one white".
Thanks to his unremitting efforts, prices and prices in the founding of the country have stabilized and achieved financial and economic unity.
Immediately afterwards, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he served as the Minister of Finance and did a major thing together with the Ministry of Finance - the adjustment of industry and commerce, and achieved remarkable results in just two or three years, and China's economic development officially entered the right track.
In the reform and opening up, the first also played a pivotal key role, in response to the requirements of the economy in the reform, the first person over 60 years old personally went to all parts of the country to investigate and visit.
In the ten years that he served as the deputy director of the advisory committee, he was conscientious and conscientious, not only successfully completed his own work, but also played a key role in promoting reform and opening up and building socialism with Chinese characteristics.
So, why was such a veteran who has made outstanding contributions to China and has been praised by *** for being rumored?
Things have to start with the ** Shan and Zhang Zishan ** case, this case is very typical, the people involved are all the founding heroes, therefore, it is also known as "the first corruption case of the Republic".
So, what does this corruption case have to do with ***?
It turned out that as soon as New China was founded, Zhang Zishan and ** Shan used the power in their hands to "engage in business", misappropriated ** to engage in "investment", and their private lives were extremely extravagant, completely for personal pleasure.
The two of them covered the sky with one hand in Tianjin, thinking that they could hide from the sky and cross the sea, but at this time, a person named Li Kecai couldn't stand it anymore, so he poked the matter out.
** After learning about this incident, he was very angry, and the legal system of New China was not perfect at that time, so after a vote of party members, Liu and Zhang were sentenced to death.
** Agreed to the outcome of the trial after considering the serious impact of the matter.
There was a small episode in this process, before the verdict was officially announced, Huang Jing, the old leader of **Shan and Zhang Zishan, once found *** and hoped that he could persuade *** to let *** see that during the war years, Liu and Zhang also made great contributions to New China, and they were lightly dismissed.
is also a revolutionary comrade-in-arms, and under the entreaties of the other party, ** relayed Huang Jing's words to ***.
But this matter was somehow spread by others, **pleading for **criminal** mountain and Zhang Zishan, which made ***, as the Minister of Finance, fall into the whirlpool, and it was also a shame that he could not wash away during his lifetime.
In addition, the person with a heart, when ***'s life was in danger, once again pointed the finger at him. It is mentioned in the rumor that in 2005, in 19 conversations, ** completely overturned his beliefs, denied his position, and denied ***.
This news immediately caused an uproar, but *** just laughed at these rumors and did not respond to them.
Maybe Bo Yibo's non-response fueled the arrogance of people with hearts, and some people began to doubt whether the matter was true, and finally, after *** died, his children couldn't bear their father's grievances and stood up to speak out.
First of all, the children of *** refuted their father's plea for Zhang Zishan, and severely accused this of chasing after the wind and distorting the facts, and came up with evidence to support it.
First of all, it was the brothers who were born and died with them who interceded for Zhang Zishan and ** Shan at that time, and the relationship between *** and Zhang Zishan was not close.
Secondly, the direct object of the seeker's request for help was Huang Jing, the secretary of the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee at the time, and there was no direct connection with ***.
At that time, many of the parties to Zhang Zishan's ** case could prove this.
Huang Jing is also very sorry for the verdict of the two people, he is the direct leader of Zhang and Liu, and he has compassion for a while, so he wants to fight for another chance from ***.
At the time of *** as the first secretary of the North China Bureau, Huang Jing turned to intercede, hoping that he could help intercede, ** was also very embarrassed, he said: "This matter has been decided, I'm afraid it's not good to mention it again." ”
But in the end, ** still relayed the request of "keeping people under the gun", ** said after listening: "It is precisely because of the high merits of the two that they cannot be let go gently, and they must not let the rivers and mountains exchanged for blood change color." ”
In the justified proof of the Bo family, this rumor gradually dispersed.
Regarding the 19 conversations, the Bo family also refuted, the rumor was about 2005, when *** was 97 years old, and he was already sick in bed all day, and he had no strength or energy to say those words.
In addition, the Bo family also came up with evidence of a close relationship with ***, during the war, the two were comrades-in-arms who cherished each other and fought side by side, after the founding of New China, ** has always entrusted *** with important responsibilities, and *** has always supported ***'s every decision.
As a result, the rumors of **negation*** denial of faith are also self-defeating.
Why didn't *** refute himself before his death, maybe he believed that the pure person was self-purifying, or maybe this was the unyielding integrity of a communist.
Bo Lao has fought for the country and the party for more than 80 years in his life, and he has not only participated in the turbulent years, but also participated in the construction of New China, and also participated in the development of reform and opening up.
At the same time, he also witnessed the glory of China in the 21st century, recalling the past, great achievements, looking at the present, the truth is still the same.
We must keep in mind the unrepentant dedication of our revolutionary predecessors, cherish the happy life that is not easy to come from today, and pay tribute to Bo Lao!
