He remained silent on the plane back home because he was politically wise and he knew how to keep important information private. The secret report he brought back made our country aware of the fact that Khrushchev had completely repudiated Stalin.
In 1956, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union held the 20th National Congress, with the participation of the Chinese delegation. Although no foreign delegation was invited to the meeting, Khrushchev gave the Chinese delegation "preferential treatment" and sent liaison officers to inform the Chinese delegation of the draft of the secret report immediately after the report was completed.
The CCP delegation was shocked, and Mr. Zhu said that this was their own business, and we were here to be guests. To think that this treatment of Stalin is nonsense, it is necessary to have their own attitude, but this is their internal affair, and we may not be able to influence them.
With the approval of the CPSU, Khrushchev's secret report was printed in 150 copies, and the CCP delegation received one of them. Mr. Zhu was about to visit the southern part of the Soviet Union, and *** needed to stay in Moscow for treatment, so the secret report was brought back to China by ***.
Shi Zhe, as a translator, flew back to Beijing with ***. During the trip, Shi Zhe repeatedly expressed his surprise and shock at Khrushchev's secret report, feeling that the changes in this report were too great to be believed.
However, no matter what Shi Zhe said, ** remained silent, unwilling to make any comments on this report. Why is that? Later, Shi Zhe realized that he must be cautious about this report before reporting to ***, because his words and deeds represent not only himself, but also the country.
It is not advisable to make any comments until you know the attitude of ***. This is a major task that must be done with rigor, and as a senior leader of the party, he must be cautious, because his words and deeds not only reflect his personal thoughts, but also have a bearing on the country's reputation and interests.
Therefore, the evaluation of Khrushchev's secret report should be followed by the opinion of ***.
**Demonstrate a high degree of political awareness and sensitivity. Immediately after Beijing's return, the General Office organized personnel to translate Khrushchev's secret report into Chinese and present it to senior leaders.
**Quickly convene a meeting to conduct an in-depth study of this secret report**. At the meeting, ** began by pointing out that Khrushchev's secret report revealed the facts, but caused unnecessary trouble.
While the report revealed false beliefs about Stalin in its content, it was grossly wrong in its approach. For a more in-depth look at this, it is recommended that you read this report carefully and discuss it again in two days.
Nevertheless, ** has made it clear that there are serious errors in Khrushchev's secret report. ** Agrees with Stalin's way of negating, and he is categorically opposed to repudiating Stalin in this way.
The views of these two great men coincided, and they were both opposed to Khrushchev's rejection of Stalin in this way. This had an extremely bad impact not only on the Soviet Union, but also on the whole world.
