endless thoughts 李先念 8751Words 2018-03-16
Comrade Zhou Enlai is a famous Marxist in modern history.We have worked together since the work-study period in France. In March 1988, it was his 90th birthday, and I would like to express my memory with this article. In the 1920s, a group of well-known communists emerged during the work-study movement among young Chinese students in France, and Enlai was the most outstanding representative among them. In December 1920, Enlai arrived in France.He has a great influence among the work-study students, and I have heard his name for a long time. In February 1923, we met for the first time at the Interim Congress of the Chinese Youth Communist Party in Europe held in Paris.He treated people kindly, spoke brilliantly, thought quickly, and was full of vigor, which left a deep impression on me.That summer, I met him again in Berlin, Germany.Soon, I gave up my studies at the Labor University of Salova, Belgium, and returned to Paris to focus on the training of the regiment. I often contacted him and learned more about him.

After En came to France, he did not do any work. He mainly inspected the labor movement and student movement, and wrote a letter to Tianjin Yishibao as a reporter, relying on the manuscript fee as a fund for revolutionary activities.He can be said to be a professional revolutionary.As early as in China, he participated in the "May 4th" Movement and other progressive student movements, and has become a youth leader with a strong desire for social revolution.So after he arrived in Europe, he was different from ordinary work-study students.He told me that instead of working in a factory, he could expand his contacts and conduct in-depth research on various issues.Enlai appeared as a reporter and was easy to move.In France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Belgium, he was able to move around, and had extensive contact with Chinese laborers, work-study students, foreign workers, and students, and learned a lot about it, which was of great benefit to the formation of his communist beliefs.

According to records, from March 1921 to March 1922, he wrote more than 50 letters to China, with a total of more than 200,000 words.These communications reported in detail the political situation in Europe, the status of the labor movement, the life and struggles of the work-study students studying in France and the Chinese laborers, and had a significant impact on readers. After March 1922, Enlai, together with Zhao Shiyan and other comrades, devoted themselves to the activities of building the party and the regiment.He is a practical person who will never follow anything blindly. During more than a year in Europe, he repeatedly compared various social trends of thought.At the beginning, he paid close attention to the trend of anarchism, and had some sympathy for the revolutionary enthusiasm of this school of romanticism students. Later, he gradually realized that anarchism wants to abandon all shackles and demand "complete freedom and liberation". , which is purely utopian in a class society.After comparison, I feel that only by following the example of the October Revolution of the Soviet Union can the problem of liberation of mankind and China be solved. In 1921, he confirmed his firm belief in communism and joined the Communist Party of China. In the spring of 1922, he discussed with several comrades in Germany that most of the work-study students were young people, many of whom had high revolutionary enthusiasm and had the foundation to establish a communist youth organization. From the perspective of uniting and educating young people, this was also necessary.So, they wrote to Comrade Zhao Shiyan, asking him to come forward to prepare.With the efforts of Shiyan, Enlai, etc., in June 1922, the inaugural meeting of the "Chinese Youth Communist Party in Europe" (later the Communist Youth League in Europe) was held. In August 1922, I joined the "Less Communist Party" organization.Not long after, Comrade Liu Bojian told me that Enlai and other initiatives needed to raise a sum of money for travel expenses, and sent people back to China as soon as possible to get in touch with the Central Committee of the League and accept leadership to strengthen the activities of the League.Although everyone was very poor at the time, they pooled together a sum of money. Comrade Li Weihan returned to China with a letter and finally got in touch with the League Central Committee.At this time, Chen Duxiu was attending a meeting of the Communist International in Moscow. He wrote to say that it should not be called the "Youth Communist Party" and should be called the Youth League.We suggest that the "Less Communist Party" be renamed the "Communist Youth League" and be affiliated with the domestic youth league, with the approval of the Central Committee of the League.When Enlai announced the good news of getting in touch with China at the temporary congress of the "Small Communist Party" in February 1923, everyone was very happy.

At the first congress of the "Minor Communist Party", Zhao Shiyan was elected as the secretary, Enlai as the propaganda committee member, and Li Weihan as the organization committee member. In February 1923, as Shiyan was going to study in Moscow, Enlai succeeded him as secretary.Since then, he has been the main leader of the Communist Party of China and the Four Youth Travel Organizations in Europe.The party and group activities among the work-study students in Europe and the Chinese laborers are an important part of our party's early party building activities.Enlai has made historic contributions in this regard.

More than 1,000 work-study students are passionate youths, influenced by various trends of thought. It can be said that there is no "white man" in politics. They either belong to the Communist Party or the Youth League, or belong to the anarchist, nationalist, social Democrats, KMT left or right.In order to expand the ideological front of Marxism, Enlai led the party members to fight resolutely against various anti-Marxist trends of thought.Because we were well organized, outnumbered, and in possession of the truth, these struggles ended in our victory. In August 1922, the "Small Communist Party" in Europe founded the monthly "Youth" (later renamed "Red Light").Enlai is the main leader and contributor.His articles are sharp and persuasive, often making the opponent speechless in the debate.

Because anarchism has a relatively strong influence among young people, our first target of the debate is aimed at the anarchists.In articles such as "Communism and China", Enlai focused on criticizing anarchism.He said that leaving behind class struggle, singing the truth, goodness and beauty, demanding absolute freedom, and opposing all organizations and disciplines, etc., is a reactionary trend of thought against Marxism. path of.In addition to writing articles, he often held face-to-face debates with the anarchists as a representative of the regiment.Enlai stood firm, thoughtful, eloquent, and reasoned thoroughly.I have seen him refute the other party many times, and some even applaud his speech.Thanks to Enlai's leadership and everyone's hard work, by the end of 1923, we finally disintegrated the Anarchist faction, and some of them turned to Marxism. Comrades like Chen Yannian and Chen Qiaonian's transformation are typical examples.

After disintegrating the anarchist faction, Enlai immediately led us to attack the nationalist faction headed by Zeng Qi and Li Huang.The Nationalist faction is the main right wing among the work-study students. Under the guise of "patriotism", they vigorously advocate anti-Soviet and anti-Communist parties, oppose the establishment of an anti-imperialist and anti-feudal patriotic united front and an international united front, and slander our establishment of a united front. It is true to annex the Kuomintang and redden the whole of China.In response to the fallacies of the statists, Enlai repeatedly exemplified in the article and in the reasoning struggle that the Soviet Union and the Communist International supported the national and democratic revolutions of all countries, and that the Communist Party and the Kuomintang cooperated to jointly complete the history of anti-imperialism and anti-feudalism Task.He said that our first step is to implement the revolutionary Three People's Principles. "Breaking private ownership" and "dictatorship of the proletariat" are problems after completing the first step. It is impossible to take the second step.Enlai's above-mentioned arguments refuted the nationalist faction, and some of them became enlightened and changed their positions.But Zeng Qi, Li Huang and others were very stubborn and organized the "Chinese Youth Party" to fight against us, and later brought this kind of debate into the country.Of course, the course of the Chinese revolution has drawn them historical conclusions.

The Social Democratic Party and the right wing of the Kuomintang were small in number and had little influence at the time, so they did not become the focus of our debate. Enlai's life in France was very hard.He lives in a small hotel at No. 17 Godefroy Street near Place d'Italie in Paris. He really lives in a small room, and the only room is less than 10 square meters.This is not only his residence, but also the center for our publications and party and group activities.There were so many people that I couldn't fit it in, so I had to go to a nearby cafe for activities.Whenever I went to Enlai's place, I always saw him either looking for someone to talk to, or writing a book at his desk.Meals are often a few slices of bread, a plate of vegetables, sometimes no vegetables, just bread and boiled water.

After we established our belief in communism, we all paid more attention to the domestic political situation, missed the people of our motherland who were struggling in the dark day and night, and yearned to return to China to participate in the revolutionary struggle as soon as possible. In June 1924, Enlai received a notice from the party asking him to return to China to work. He was very happy.A few of us saw him off at my place.I got some wine and drank it to my heart's content. Because of my joy, Enlai and everyone else got a little drunk. During the Great Revolution, I worked with Enlai in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Wuhan and other places.

In September 1925, I returned from the Soviet Union, arrived in Guangzhou via Shanghai, and met Comrade Enlai and Chen Yannian at the Party Committee of Guangdong District.At that time, Yannian was the secretary of the district party committee, and Enlai was the military director of the district party committee, director of the political department of Whampoa Military Academy, director of the political department of the First Army, and a party representative of the first division.After a year's absence, comrades-in-arms reunited, feeling very cordial.Enlai told me that he started the Eastern Expedition in February and led his troops to crusade against Chen Jiongming. After fighting for several months, he drove Chen Jiongming's army out of the Dongjiang area. In June, in order to fight against the rebellion of warlords Liu Zhenhuan and Yang Ximin, he returned to Guangzhou.Because the Whampoa student army has high awareness and good discipline, people from all walks of life warmly welcome and support them wherever they go, so the Eastern Expedition and the suppression of Liu and Yang's rebellion went smoothly.He is happy about it.But Liao Zhongkai was assassinated, and the right wing of the Kuomintang tried his best to obstruct the revolution, so that the revolutionary front could not work together to deal with imperialism and warlord forces, and he was worried.Well, Chen Jiongming took advantage of the opportunity of the Eastern Expedition Army to return to the division, and made a comeback to occupy Dongjiang, so he was busy organizing the second Eastern Expedition. At the beginning of October, he marched eastward again.The main force of the Eastern Expedition was still the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and a large number of Whampoa students participated in it. Therefore, everyone in Whampoa, teachers and students, was concerned about the second Eastern Expedition, and so was I.Due to the powerful political work organized by Enlai, the Eastern Expeditionary Army was still invincible. In the Battle of Huizhou in mid-October, Chen Jiongming defended firmly with his elite troops and failed to conquer it for two days. Chiang Kai-shek was shaken and wanted to give up the siege.Thanks to Enlai's persistence and direct participation in the command, under the bloody struggle of the Eastern Expedition Army, especially the Huangpu students, Huizhou was finally conquered and Chen Jiongming's main force was wiped out, laying the foundation for the final victory of the Second Eastern Expedition.By the middle of November, the second Eastern Expedition ended successfully.In the last ten days of the year, Enlai was appointed as the administrative member of Dongjiang, where he established political power, innovated politics, organized mass organizations, etc., and made outstanding achievements.After hearing the good news, I was really happy for him. Enlai made great contributions in both expeditions, and once again demonstrated his outstanding organizational and leadership skills.

I went to the Whampoa Military Academy and was appointed secretary of the Political Department and political instructor.Enlai instructed me to use every opportunity in my work to actively carry out party and group activities.He said that Chiang Kai-shek wants to restrict us, we must educate party members, carry out various activities, and win progressive young people to oppose his restrictions.Whampoa has our party’s leading group of the party group, which is headed by Comrade Lu Yi (the deputy director of the Political Department of Whampoa Military Academy at the time), and later by Comrade Xiong Xiong.After I left, Enlai asked me to be a member of the leading group to cooperate with Comrade Lu Yi in developing party and league members among the students, strengthening the leftist forces and weakening the rightist forces.He also introduced to me the struggle between the leftist "Young Soldiers Federation" and the rightist "Sun Wen Doctrine Society", and asked us to actively guide the "Young Soldiers Federation".I, Lu Yi, Xiong Xiong and other comrades worked spiritually according to Enlai's instructions.Due to the clear guiding ideology and Enlai's work foundation and important influence in Huangpu in the past, our work is relatively smooth and we have achieved results in all aspects.Chiang Kai-shek attached great importance to military power.In his view, the work we are doing is undermining him, so he hates us very much. The Whampoa Military Academy at that time trained a large number of officers for the Northern Expedition.Among them, the historical achievements of Enlai are indelible. On March 20, 1926, Chiang Kai-shek launched the first big conspiracy against our party and created the "Zhongshan Ship Incident".On this day, some other Communist Party members and I were suddenly detained on the Zhongshan Ship, and Enlai was placed under house arrest at the Mint.After our party's negotiations, Chiang Kai-shek felt that he was fledgling, and he was frightened by the power of the leftists, so he had to release us on the same day.When I came to the district party committee, I met Yannian, Enlai, Huang Jinhui and other comrades one after another.Everyone discussed together, all very angry, and unanimously advocated counterattacking Chiang Kai-shek.Enlai made a specific analysis.He said that when Chiang Kai-shek expelled a leftist division commander in February, there were signs of anti-communism. He had reported it to the organization, but it was not taken seriously.The current situation is that among the six armies of the National Revolutionary Army, only the First Army is directly under the command of Chiang Kai-shek, and the other five armies will not listen to him, and some even want to take the opportunity to get rid of Chiang Kai-shek.Among the three divisions of the First Army, the party representatives of two divisions were Communist Party members, and we accounted for seven of the party representatives of the nine regiments. There are also quite a few communists in the ranks below and in the army. As for the revolutionary forces sympathizing with the leftists, they are even stronger. The First Army is also the foundation of the teaching regiment of the Whampoa Military Academy. The party's tradition has a great influence, and we are fully capable. Fight back against Chiang Kai-shek.We all agree with Enlai's analysis.At the same time, everyone also discussed that if Chiang Kai-shek was removed from power, the other army commanders were also warlords. As long as the revolution violated their interests, they would also oppose the Communist Party and the people.Well, how to deal with it is up to the Party Central Committee to decide.We are nervously waiting for the decision of the Party Central Committee.A few days later, Enlai conveyed to several comrades in the Military Commission that Chen Duxiu had decided to make concessions to Chiang Kai-shek.Therefore, we were forced to accept Chiang Kai-shek's conditions, and the Communists withdrew from the First Army. The "Zhongshan ship incident" is undoubtedly a major setback for our party.But Enlai was clear-headed in this incident and his position was correct. If he had followed his opinion, the Chinese revolution at that time might have been in a different situation. After the "Zhongshan Ship Incident", Enlai was dismissed from his post in the First Army, and I was dismissed from my post in the Whampoa Military Academy. Under the leadership of Enlai, I specialized in the work of the District Party Committee and Military Commission.Soon, the Military Commission focused its energy on preparing for the Northern Expedition. In May 1926, Ye Ting's independent group passed through Guangzhou for the Northern Expedition. Enlai asked me to go with him to the independent group and held a meeting of party members and cadres above the company level.At the meeting, Enlai gave a speech, analyzed the situation, and specified the tasks. He asked the Communist Party members to lead by example, so that the independent regiment could complete the glorious mission of the pioneers of the Northern Expedition, and encouraged everyone with the rhetoric of "drinking horses to the Yangtze River".The independent regiment led by Comrade Ye Ting later made special contributions in the Northern Expedition and was known as the "Iron Army".During this period, Enlai often convened the Communist Party members of various units to arrange tasks for the Northern Expedition.As the head of the military committee of the district party committee, he assisted the Soviet military adviser General Galen in formulating the blueprint for the Northern Expedition. In July, the Northern Expedition officially began.Enlai informed me that the district party committee had decided that I should serve as a special commissioner of the Military Commission to engage in liaison work in the Northern Expeditionary Army, to communicate with the district party committee, local party organizations, and party members in the Northern Expeditionary Army.It was originally planned that I would go north by land, but at that time cholera was prevalent in northern Guangdong and southern Hunan. Enlai decided that I would divert to Shanghai, Wuhan, and Yueyang and secretly go to Changsha by water to join the Northern Expedition Army. Enlai did not directly participate in the Northern Expedition, but he did a lot of preparatory work for the Northern Expedition, and also made important contributions to the victory of the Northern Expedition. In March 1927, Enlai, together with Comrades Zhao Shiyan and Luo Yinong, successfully led the third armed uprising of Shanghai workers.Soon, Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup, which bloody massacred a large number of Communists and revolutionary masses.The Central Committee ordered me and Comrade Li Lisan to rush to Shanghai to understand the situation and help deal with the aftermath.After we arrived in Shanghai, we met at the home of Comrade Zhao Shiyan for a meeting.At the meeting, Enlai calmly analyzed the situation and proposed contingency measures.I conveyed the intention of the central government to him, and asked me to help him organize the workers' red guards to reduce losses.He agrees.Therefore, we jointly drew up a plan to quickly transfer the workers' red guards to a secret state, and concealed guns and ammunition.In response to Chiang Kai-shek's counter-revolutionary behavior, Enlai drafted an opinion letter to the central government, suggesting that the central government promote the Wuhan Nationalist Government to order the Northern Expedition to conquer Chiang.At that time, Chiang Kai-shek's direct troops were still not many, and the massacres in many parts of the country aroused strong indignation among Communists, leftists, and the people of the whole country. Fatal blow.It is a pity that this opinion was not taken seriously by all parties concerned, and the Chinese revolution once again lost its chance of victory. In May 1927, Enlai and I went to Wuhan from Shanghai. In the first ten days of July, the conspiracy of Wang Jingwei and Chiang Kai-shek to cooperate against the Communist Party was already very obvious.Chen Duxiu's right opportunism reached the point where he could no longer get along. On July 12, according to the instructions of the Communist International, Chen Duxiu was suspended and formed the Standing Committee of the Provisional Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Enlai was one of the five standing committee members. In mid-July, after a meeting of the Central Standing Committee, Enhuihui Military Commission called us for a meeting overnight.He said that the Communist International instructed our party to organize an army of 50,000 people and use revolutionary armed forces to oppose counter-revolutionary armed forces.Accordingly, in light of the current situation, the central government has decided to organize an armed uprising.Well, in order to make the uprising go smoothly, it is very important to make preparations. It was decided that Comrades He Chang, Yan Changyi and I should form the former enemy military committee. , Prepare for the thought and action of the uprising.When to act, we have to wait for the final notice from the central government.He speaks with a serious demeanor and a firm tone that conveys a strong sense of urgency. According to the instructions, we rushed to Jiujiang quickly, and first conveyed the message to the party members and cadres above the company in the troops of Comrades Ye Ting and He Long, and they immediately went to Nanchang.We have communicated to other relevant party members and cadres. On July 26, Enlai arrived in Jiujiang and told me that the central government had decided to launch an armed uprising in Nanchang, and that he would be the Secretary of the Front Enemy Committee and take overall responsibility for the uprising.He told me that I tried to pull out the 25th Division troops in the Mahuiling area to participate in the uprising. He himself went to Nanchang first to organize the uprising with Ye and He as the backbone.Because it was difficult to communicate by telecommunications at that time, he agreed that after the incident was completed, an empty train would be sent from Nanchang immediately, and we would load the troops and luggage that had been pulled out and drive to Nanchang.Under the leadership of Enlai and others, the Nanchang Uprising on August 1 achieved a great victory.I led the 73rd and 75th regiments of the 25th Division and the 74th regiment reconnaissance company, and rushed to Nanchang on August 2 as planned.We pulled out the basic troops of the 25th Division, and Enlai was satisfied.He said that your operation was very successful. I didn't expect it to be so smooth. The Nanchang Uprising troops went south to Guangdong according to the original plan, and fought several battles with Qian Dajun, Huang Shaohong, Xue Yue and other warlord troops along the way. The most intense battles were the first Huichang battle and the subsequent Tangkeng battle. Both the enemy and the enemy suffered heavy casualties. .On the way to the south, Sanheba divided its troops, leaving the 25th Division, one of the most combative troops, in Sanheba, which dispersed the troops and caused the rebel army to suffer serious setbacks in the Chaoshan area.Later, the rest of the 24th Division was led by Comrade Dong Lang to Dongjiang, and the rest of the 25th Division was led by Comrades Zhu De and Chen Yi, and moved to southern Hunan via southern Fujian and northern Guangdong.After Tangkeng was frustrated, Ye Ting and I rushed to Liusha, found the Revolutionary Committee, and met Enlai.At that time, he was suffering from a high fever and was in a coma. He was still shouting "Go! Go!" His high revolutionary spirit was really touching.We were in a meeting when the enemy rushed in and dispersed most of the members of the Revolutionary Committee.Enlai was seriously ill, and Ye Ting and I had only one pistol to guard him closely.We didn't speak the local dialect and were unfamiliar with the situation. I found Comrade Yang Shihun and asked him to be responsible and escort us to Hong Kong.Yang Shihun found a stretcher to carry Enlai, first hid us in a fellow villager's house, and then found a boat, Enlai, Ye Ting and I were escorted to Hong Kong by Yang Shihun. The Nanchang Uprising failed in the end. There are many reasons for this, including history, subjective and objective conditions.In this uprising of great historical significance, Enlai had a firm idea of ​​armed struggle and bravely fired the first shot of armed resistance against the bloody massacre policy of the Kuomintang reactionaries. This is very precious.He was not mainly responsible for some mistakes in command and the division of troops at Sanheba on the way to the south. Afterwards, he made self-criticism to the central government and said that he should bear the main responsibility. This spirit is also very valuable. From 1928 to 1931, I was engaged in the extremely difficult and extremely dangerous struggle in the White Area for four years, and worked under the leadership of Enlai several times. Several things left a deep impression on me. At the beginning of 1928, summing up the experience and lessons of the failure of the Guangzhou Uprising, Comrade Li Lisan wrongly punished a large number of comrades who participated in the leadership of the uprising, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among everyone.In March and April, Enlai went to Hong Kong on behalf of the Central Committee to make a new conclusion, summed up the experience and lessons of the failure of the uprising from the subjective and objective aspects of seeking truth from facts, corrected Li Lisan's wrong approach, and won the support of comrades, and I also wholeheartedly agree.When he was in Hong Kong, I showed him a newspaper clipping, which contained news and photos of comrades Zhou Wenyong and Chen Tiejun holding a "wedding on the execution ground" in front of the enemy's butcher knife, and then heroically dying.Enlai said affectionately that he felt the same way as I did. He was also familiar with the two martyrs. The deeds of the martyrs really moved people to tears.The mourning for the martyrs keeps us relatively silent. In April, Zhang Ruihua and I got married, and Enlai made a special trip to our residence to express his congratulations. At the beginning of 1930, I was transferred from Hong Kong to Tianjin Shunzhi Province to appoint the Minister of Organization. I passed by Shanghai to accept the task and met Enlai again. He was the Secretary of the Central Military Commission at that time.Enlai told me that Zhang Mutao, secretary of the Shunzhi Provincial Party Committee, is suspected of being a Trotskyist. The central government decided to remove Zhang from his position by transferring work. Therefore, after you and He Chang go, the main task is to seize his power, but be careful not to move. Be sensual, so as not to startle the snake.We followed the instructions and successfully completed the task. In May 1930, I was transferred to Shanghai Central Special Branch to work, and Enlai was in the Soviet Union at that time. In August, he returned to Shanghai and immediately worked intensely to prepare for the Third Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee.Soon, I was transferred to the Military Commission as Enlai's assistant. In late September, together with Comrade Qu Qiubai, he presided over the Third Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee.The meeting made a resolution, criticizing Li Lisan's mistakes of "Left" adventurism such as organizing a national general uprising and concentrating the main force of the Red Army to attack central cities.I attended this meeting.Enlai was the actual moderator of the plenary meeting, but he was very modest, always pushing Qiu Bai to the foreground, asking him to preside over the meeting, make a report, and express concluding opinions.Therefore, the Third Plenum made Comrade Qu Qiubai the de facto main leader of the Party Central Committee.Enlai's humility without personal selfishness is admirable. In April 1931, Gu Shunzhang, an alternate member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and the main person in charge of the Central Special Section, was arrested and rebelled.After I learned the news reported by Comrade Qian Zhuangfei, I knew the extreme seriousness of the problem.Teke is the security agency of the Party Central Committee, and Gu Shunzhang knows almost all the information about the central agency and the address of the person in charge.His rebellion threatened the central leadership organs with devastating damage.Enlai was the primary target of Gu Shunzhang's harm, so I hurried to Enlai's residence to report to him and discuss countermeasures.Enlai was not there, so I met Comrade Deng Yingchao and told her the situation, and asked her to take what she had to bring and what she could bring, and leave the residence immediately, the sooner the better, I will continue to look for Enlai elsewhere.On the same day, Enlai and Comrade Chen Yun agreed on countermeasures. Comrades such as Chen Geng, Li Kenong, and Li Qiang, who led the Military Commission and the Special Section, divided their responsibilities. moved.In the past two or three days, we were extremely nervous. Neither Enlai nor we closed our eyes, and we finally got ahead of the enemy and completed the task.When Gu Shunzhang directed the spies to search and arrest in Shanghai, he filled in the blanks one by one.Comrade Chen Geng is the person in charge of Teco's anti-espionage work, and is usually Enlai's right-hand man. This time, he made outstanding contributions in handling Gu Shunzhang's rebellion.The handling of the Gu Shunzhang incident once again demonstrated Enlai's calmness, fearlessness in the face of danger and extraordinary organizational leadership. In the spring of 1931, we successively discovered that in various Soviet areas there was a tendency to expand the suppression of counter-revolutionaries to varying degrees, and we were everywhere arresting so-called class enemies who had infiltrated the revolutionary ranks, such as the AB regiment, the Social Democratic Party, and the reorganization faction.Everyone discussed that the Red Army in various places was constantly winning battles. If there were really so many counter-revolutionaries inside, these victories would be unimaginable and illogical. In the summer of 1931, Comrade Ouyang Qin went to the Central Soviet Area to learn about the situation, and when he came back, he reported the case of the expansion of the suppression of counter-revolutionaries there, and everyone felt the seriousness of the problem.So we reported to Enlai.He agreed with everyone's views and wrote to the central government to suggest corrections.The central government accepted Enlai's opinion and notified the Soviet areas to pay attention.Since then, various places have gradually corrected the mistake of expanding the suppression of counter-revolutionaries. In January 1932, at the meeting of the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area, Enlai once again criticized the mistakes of the Central Soviet Area in this regard.This shows that Enlai is good at listening to opinions, seeking truth from facts, and adhering to the spirit of truth. At the Zunyi Conference, which was a historic turning point in our party, Comrade Mao Zedong's leading position in the Red Army and the Party Central Committee was established.Comrades Enlai and Wang Jiaxiang firmly supported Mao Zedong and played a key role.After the meeting, a three-member military group with Mao Zedong as the chairman, Zhou Enlai as the vice-chairman and Wang Jiaxiang participated was established.Since then, during the Long March, the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation, Enlai was good at translating Mao Zedong's strategic intentions into careful military deployments, and became Mao Zedong's most powerful assistant. During the war years, I worked under the leadership of Enlai several times.After the liberation of the whole country, I focused on science and technology and the work of breaking through the "two bombs".In this regard, under Comrade Mao Zedong's decision-making, Enlai directly led, and he firmly supported our work.my country's missiles and atomic bombs were able to be developed quickly under extremely difficult conditions at that time. This is one of the most important reasons. Enlai's life was a great life.People throughout China and even the world recognize him as an outstanding proletarian revolutionist, statesman, diplomat and military strategist. For more than 50 years, I have heard and seen Enlai's revolutionary character, which is deeply moving.He was infinitely loyal to the revolutionary cause. For decades, he always worked day and night, regardless of fatigue and safety, and worked conscientiously.His contribution to the Chinese revolution is as great as the sun and the moon, but he never takes credit for pride, never has personal ambitions, and is always modest and open-minded, and he is good at what he does.During the ten years of turmoil, he was very steadfast in his tactics and principles in the struggle against Lin Biao and the "Gang of Four" counter-revolutionary clique.Enlai is shrewd and capable, with outstanding talents. No matter at home or abroad, he can handle many complex and difficult major issues and extremely difficult and extremely difficult environments. He is well received by political leaders at home and abroad. The military and political dignitaries of the Kuomintang also admired his talent.He is good at uniting comrades, caring warmly, never treating others rudely, everyone feels cordial when in contact with him, and is heartily supported, becoming one of the most prestigious leaders in the party. Enlai's many commendable and excellent qualities are truly worthy of being a teacher.We commemorate the 90th anniversary of Enlai's birth. The most important thing is to learn from his excellent character, inherit his last wish, adhere to the four basic principles, oppose bourgeois liberalization, and strive to build four modern socialist countries!
