On September 21, 1949, the first session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference was held in Beijing as scheduled. The main content of the meeting was the election of the **People** Committee and the ** Vice-Chairman. In the end, it was determined that 56 people were appointed as **People's Committee members, and Zhang Lan, Gao Gang and others were vice chairmen. Then the voting begins***
After everyone had cast their ballots, the staff who oversaw the assembly began to roll their ballots. Listening to the *** everyone thought that *** must be unanimously elected***, but when the results of the votes came out, the staff found out,One abstained.
In the end, ** was elected as **People** president with 575 votes. So, who is this person? Why did he abstain from voting, and even almost commit treason in the end?
The year is 1889。This year, Zhang Dongsun was born in a county official family in Zhejiang Province. With a solid family background, he has read poetry and books since he was a child, learned to be rich, and is determined to protect his family and defend the country. In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, China vigorously advocated studying abroad. For a time, the number of international students in China increased dramatically.
A large number of aspiring young people are rushing to study abroad. How could Zhang Dongsun, who was full of ambition, be left behind. So, under the operation of his father, Zhang Dongsun obtained the qualification to study in Japan as he wished. At the age of 15, he embarked on the road of studying abroad alone.
During his study abroad, Liang Qichao came to Zhang Dongsun's university to give a lecture. Taking this opportunity, Zhang Dongsun was fortunate to get acquainted with Mr. Liang. The constitutionalist ideas he preached convinced the young Zhang Dongsun very much. After Liang Qichao left school, he often wrote to him to express his admiration.
In 1911, 22-year-old Zhang Dongsun returned from school. He thought that he had succeeded in his studies, and the first thing he had to do when he came back was to serve his country. So, he decided to send students to the same group of returning officialsTaihe Hall participated in the temple examination。Sure enough, he successfully passed the temple examination and was awardedGezhi Kejinshi。In this way, Zhang Dongsun began his road to save the country.
He thought that his enthusiasm had finally found a place to use. However, what Zhang Dongsun did not expect was that the country was already terminally ill. In the officialdom, he saw through the corruption and darkness of the government, they were corrupt and perverted the law, and preyed on the people. With such deception, the country has long been hopeless.
Subsequently,The Wuhan Uprising broke out。Zhang Dongsun was unwilling to join these ** filthy officials, so he took a boat to Wuhan to meet Mr. Sun Yat-sen and others. During this time, he joined the Interim ** as an in-house secretary. From then on, he devoted himself to the revolutionary cause.
The following year, the provisional ** and Beiyang ** negotiated peace. Immediately, a new ** was established. The general trend is that many people who work together have joined the new **. For some reason, Zhang Dongsun did not participate, but turned to work in the newspaper. This is more than 20 years. At one time, it becameA well-known politician in the press.
After the "77" incident, the comrades of the underground party of the North China Bureau got in touch with Zhang Dongsun and asked Zhang Dongsun to secretly cooperate with our party. Zhang Dongsun, who learned the news, agreed to our party's request without the slightest hesitation. In 1938, Zhang Dongsun returned to Yenching University. For many years afterward, Zhang Dongsun has been taking advantage of his presenceYenching Universityto contribute to the cause of the Anti-Japanese War.
With the help of Comrade Wang Jun, an underground party member, Zhang Dongsun sent a large number of medicines and supplies to the front line and rear in various places intact, and saved countless wounded. In addition, under the mobilization of Zhang Dongsun, a large number of students spontaneously went to the military region to give condolence performances and visit the wounded. It can be described as a high level of hard work.
In 1945, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party held negotiations in Chongqing. On October 10, the negotiations ended. withThe signing of the Double Tenth AgreementWhat kind of government to implement has become the primary issue after China's reunification. In response to this question, Zhang Dongsun, who was born as a critic, also expounded his own views.
He believes that it is not wise for China today to implement either a full-scale bureaucratic capitalist system or a full-fledged communist system. Only a political system that is somewhere between capitalism and communism is appropriate. At the time, the remarks caused quite a stir. So, why did he say this?
In fact, in Zhang Dongsun's view, China, as a rising star, still has a lot to learn from other countries. The first to bear the brunt were the superpowers of the world at that time, the Soviet Union and the United States. However, both the United States and the Soviet Union took the path of extremes. Zhang Dongsun believes that China should learn from its strong points and discard its shortcomings. Therefore, it makes sense to combine the systems of these two countries.
At the time, many people agreed with Mr. Zhang. Experts have also done some research on this and have concluded that such a system simply does not work in China. For this reason, Zhang Dongsun has felt guilty for a long time.
In 1946, Chiang Kai-shek openly tore up the Double Tenth Agreement, and the War of Liberation broke out. Our party led the troops to bravely kill the enemy, and successively won a complete victory in the Liaoshen Campaign and the Pingjin Campaign. In 1948, Mr. Lin led his troops to annihilate most of the Kuomintang reactionary army and besieged the remnants of the defeated army in the city of Beiping.
Considering that Beiping City is an ancient city, containsProfound cultural heritage。Therefore, Mr. Lin did not send troops hastily, but wanted to negotiate with the other party and try to liberate Beiping City in a peaceful way. But the Kuomintang defenders in the city were really stubborn, and with Mr. Lin's temperament, he didn't know how to persuade the Kuomintang in the city to come out to negotiate. When he was at a loss, someone recommended Zhang Dongsun to Mr. Lin.
In fact, as early as the Pingjin Campaign, Zhang Dongsun persuaded Fu Zuoyi to negotiate with our party, and finally kept the city of Beiping. Therefore, under Zhang Dongsun's repeated wanderings, our party did not spend a single soldier to make the remnants of the defeated soldiers hiding in Beiping City disarm and surrender one after another, withdraw from Beiping City, and accept the reorganization of the People's Liberation Army. On January 31, 1949, the People's Liberation Army successfully entered Beiping City. In this regard, the city of Beiping has been completely liberated.
With his incorruptible tongue, Zhang Dongsun has made great contributions to this. Even the old man gave him a thumbs up, saying that he made the first contribution to the liberation of Beiping. It stands to reason that his relationship with *** should be very harmonious. But why did he abstain from voting in the election? It all started at the beginning of liberation.
On this day, Zhang Dongsun and other democrats went to Xibaipo to visit*** In the course of the conversation, Zhang Dongsun proposed that China should not only care about friendship with the Soviet Union and stay away from the United States. Instead, China should establish diplomatic relations with the United States and keep a certain distance from the Soviet Union.
But at that time, the capitalist countries of the West were very resistant to communism. With the exception of the Soviet Union, no country was willing to support China. Zhang Dongsun's view is really dangerous because he does not take the international situation into account at all。After listening to Zhang Dongsun's words, ** was very angry and severely criticized him, saying that he was not thinking properly"Soviet-phobia", ".
Zhang Dongsun, who was criticized, was very depressed. However, despite the chairman's preaching, Zhang Dongsun's thinking is still very stubborn. This also paved the way for his unusual behavior in the later elections. It even appeared because of thisTreasonBehavior.
On September 21, 1949, the first Chinese Political Consultative Conference was solemnly opened in Beiping. Although Zhang Dongsun has made inappropriate remarks before, in view of his outstanding contributions to the liberation of Beiping. Therefore, he was elected to the Bureau of the General Assembly.
In the following week or so, Zhang Dongsun was always conscientious and participated in various discussions of the CPPCC on the construction of New China. During this time, he did not make any unusual moves. It wasn't until the day the president was elected that he went against the grain. September 30th, Zhang Dongsun attended the meeting as usual. But when the election officially began, he quietly put away his ballot, and he did not hand it over until the end of the meeting.
That's why there is a lack of one vote to be elected. In ***'s opinion, as long as the people are willing, he will conform to the will of the people and do things for the people well, and it doesn't matter if he lacks a vote. But even so, the other staff regretted it. But no one knowsWho exactly is this ticket in?
At a party, Zhang Dongsun finally admitted. He said that he had long recognized the great man as the chairman. If he hadn't reprimanded himself harshly in Xibaipo, he wouldn't have abstained. Only now has the truth come out. It turned out that he had always been obsessed with the affairs of Xibaipo. One wrong step, one wrong step. From the moment he decided to abstain, Zhang Dongsun's life had already begun to decline.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhang Dongsun's "Soviet-phobia" and "thinking became more and more stubborn." He was stubborn and always insisted on putting it into practice"Centrist Politics".。And an attempt to convey a message to the United States through civilian channels. At this time, he is no longer the big hero who transported medicines and supplies to the rear of the front line, buthas become a worrying coward
At the beginning of 1950, just a few months after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the domestic situation was still unstable. In addition to the residual poison of the spies left by Chiang Kai-shek, American spies also haunt from time to time. Wang Zhiqi is one of the American spies. Through many inquiries, he learned that Zhang Dongsun had differences with our party.
So, in order to steal information, Wang Zhiqi tried all kinds of ways to get close to him. Zhang Dongsun, who was bent on conveying the news of China's non-resistance to the United States, had nothing to say with Wang Zhiqi. In this way, Wang Zhiqi grasped the weakness of Zhang Dongsun's fear of war and obtained important information from him again and again.
One day, Zhang Dongsun learned from Wang Zhiqi that the United States was trying to initiate itWorld War III。On the one hand, Zhang Dongsun feared that the situation would really go in the direction he expected, and on the other hand, he feared that China would be drawn into a world war again. So, he asked Wang Zhiqi to tell the United StatesChina will not resist the United States
Wang Zhiqi said that the United States would not believe his own words. Zhang Dongsun, who was scared, immediately wrote a list, saying that these were all people who might cooperate with himto show their weight in the party。Seeing that Wang Zhiqi took the list, Zhang Dongsun couldn't help but rejoice, China is saved.
But what he didn't know was Wang ZhiqiHe is planning how to plot against these people on the list and disrupt China's internal affairs。If it weren't for the timely discovery by our public security personnel, the consequences would have been unimaginable. With Wang Zhiqi**,Zhang Dongsun was also defined as a "traitor".
In October 1952, the NLD decided to expel Zhang Dongsun and remove him from all positions within the NLD. Eventually, the matter was known by ***. Some people have proposed that Zhang Dongsun should be arrested in accordance with the law. However, in line with the idea of "curing the disease and saving people", it was decided to deal with Zhang Dongsun's affairs in accordance with the contradictions among the people. Soon, Zhang DongsunHe resigned from all his positions in the party and ended his decades-long political career with his own hands.
In 1968The "special case team" arrested Zhang Dongsun on the charge of being a spy, and then he was imprisoned, and even his family didn't know that he was a**. This former patriot spent his later years in prison.
In 1973, Zhang Dongsun was seriously ill and his family came to see him. When his wife told himNixon's visit to ChinaHe laughed. Anyway, in his lifetime,Establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United StatesThe wish has finally come true. In June of the same year, Zhang Dongsun died in prison with endless repentance and relief at the age of 87.
