"**You are so bold" said this sentence by Li Xuefeng, the former secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, at this time, he had just been rehabilitated and all his reputation was restored.
Why did Li Xuefeng say this to ***? What exactly was done? This matter has to start with what happened to Li Xuefeng.
Li Xuefeng joined the old revolutionary in China in 1933, and during the war years he was mainly engaged in logistics work. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li Xuefeng was transferred to the Northeast, during the work he personally went deep into the state-owned enterprises to investigate, but also went to the Northeast Industrial Base, field investigation of the production of mines, mastered a large number of first-hand information, Li Xuefeng in the work of conscientious, his achievements and ability has been affirmed. In June 1966, Li Xuefeng became the secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, at this time the turmoil had already begun, and Li Xuefeng, who was in a high position, should be cautious in his words and deeds, but his honest duty and insensitivity to complex situations made him suffer.
In order to protect him, Li Xuefeng was transferred to Hebei and made him the director of the Hebei Provincial Revolutionary Committee and the political commissar of the Beijing Military Region. At the Lushan Conference in 1970, Li Xuefeng was removed from all his posts because of other involvement, after which he was imprisoned again and remained in detention for eight years. In 1973, Li Xuefeng was classified into the ** group and expelled from the party. And it is *** who is responsible for the investigation and handling of Li Xuefeng's case
In 1969, at the "Ninth National Congress", the great man specially introduced him to the delegates and said that he was his old friend, and since then, he has become a celebrity. Although he was a cadre who was promoted in that chaotic era, he was very sober, and when he was in charge of investigating Li Xuefeng's case, he did not listen directly to others, but investigated carefully, and finally he concluded that Li Xuefeng had nothing to do with **. Subsequently, ** reported to the great man, saying that Li Xuefeng's problems were different from those of others, and he could not be expelled from the party.
After listening to ***'s suggestion, the great man did not say it explicitly, but said to ***: "*Ah, you are a person, two less gray hairs". The meaning of the great man naturally means that *** is too young to deal with the problem well, after hearing the great man reply to himself, ** knew that there was no room for recovery in this matter, and soon Li Xuefeng was expelled from the party. During his detention, Li Xuefeng was subjected to various interrogations, but he still maintained his stoic will, read and wrote, and remembered his beliefs and ideals unwaveringly.
He also waited for the organization to rehabilitate him, but the wait was a little long, and it was not until 1982, when he was 75 years old, that he took off his hat and regained his reputation. After Li Xuefeng was rehabilitated, while waiting for the assignment of work, he went to visit *** At that time, *** had resigned from all his positions and was idle at home. Li Xuefeng's first words when he saw *** were: "* You are so bold." Li Xuefeng said that he was bold, referring to the fact that he "dared to speak against the tune in front of great men" and put forward different opinions.
Although ***'s opinion was not adopted, in that context, ** dared to complain about Li Xuefeng's situation, which already made Li Xuefeng grateful, so after Li Xuefeng was rehabilitated, the two have always been in contact after visiting ***, and Li Xuefeng has always used his residual heat to contribute his strength to the construction of New China after his comeback. In 2003, Li Xuefeng died of illness at the age of 97.
