Although Tian Jiaying, the "showman" next to him, has a poor family, he has become a talented man with extensive knowledge and profound writing skills through continuous reading and learning with a tenacious spirit.
He once contributed the classic sentence "Humility makes people progress, pride makes people backward" in the opening speech of the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which has been appreciated. He also served as the secretary of *** and carefully managed the *** library to develop it into a library with tens of thousands of books.
Tian Jiaying is also keen to collect Qing ink, known as "the first in China".
When Tian Jiaying was preparing relevant materials for the upcoming Ninth Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, he accidentally saw a yellowed lithographed pamphlet called "Investigation Work" in the Political Research Office of the Communist Party of China.
He read it repeatedly, and after reading it, he quickly handed it over to *** When he saw this booklet, he was overjoyed and said with great excitement: "Seeing this booklet, it's like seeing an old friend who I haven't seen for more than 30 years!" ”
What's going on? It goes back 30 years. In May 1930, the Central Plains War broke out, Chiang Kai-shek, Yan Xishan, and Feng Yuxiang fought each other, and the Red Army got a relatively stable environment in southern Jiangnan.
In view of the existence of "dogmatism" in the ranks of the Red Army, some people took the "book" of Marxism, ignored the actual situation, read according to the book, blindly quoted the experience of others, especially the successful experience of the revolution, and carried out "blind command" in China.
** Deeply affected by this, he decided to do some investigation and research himself, and explored an independent revolutionary road from it. For this reason, he sank down in Jiangxi, "looked downward," conducted a social survey for more than 20 days, held an investigation meeting for more than 10 days, and painstakingly wrote an article entitled "Investigation Work," which clearly put forward the ideological principle of seeking truth from facts that Marxism must be integrated with the reality of the Chinese revolution.
In early June 1930, he came to Shanghang with the first draft of "Investigation Work" and handed it over to the Fujian Special Committee for reprinting and publication. This pamphlet played a very important role in the revolution.
During the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" period, the loss of the pamphlet "Investigation Work" made *** very regretful, after all, this was his valuable investigation and research results. Fortunately, a Communist Party member named Lai Maoji, after the Red Army's Long March, found a lithograph of "Investigation Work" and some documents reprinted by the Special Committee of the Communist Party of China in Fujian and Western China when he was cleaning the house.
He bravely risked his life to wrap these important revolutionary materials in oiled paper and hide them in the hole in the wall of his house. In February 1957, Lai Maoji donated these precious revolutionary relics.
After repeatedly reading and revising it, the title was changed to "Opposition to Fundamentalism" and provided it to the relevant leading comrades as internal circulation materials.
As one of the famous texts, "Against Originalism" is included in the first edition of "Selected Works", the first volume of the second edition of "Selected Works", and the seventh volume of "Selected Important Documents Since the Founding of the Party".
Regrettably, Lai Maoji was invited to attend the 1961 National Day Eve ceremony, but died at the end of 1960. **Deeply saddened to hear this news.
