Chapter 54 2. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China approved and forwarded the report of the Central Organization Department and the General Political Department on rehabilitating the "Xinjiang Ma Ming Plan"

Party committees of all provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions; Party committees of major military regions, provincial military regions, and field armies; ministries and commissions of the Central Committee; party groups of ministries and commissions of state agencies; The Central Committee agrees with the Central Organization Department and the General Political Department's "Report on the Rehabilitation of the "Xinjiang Ma Ming Plan"", which is now forwarded to you.Comrades implicated in this case, if the policy has not yet been implemented, I hope to urge the relevant parties to solve it as soon as possible.

In November 1967, Lin Biao and his gang, Kang Sheng and others, in order to usurp the party and seize power, promoted the ultra-left line. They fabricated charges and reversed truth and framed Ma Mingfang, Zhang Ziyi, Fang Zhichun, Gao Dengbang, Xie Liang, Yang Zhihua, Liu Huping, and Li Yunyang. More than 100 people, including Comrade Jitong, surrendered to rebel after being arrested by warlord Sheng Shicai in Xinjiang in 1943.On the one hand, Kang Sheng, Wu Faxian, Li Zuopeng and others refused to report to the central government the evidence and materials concerning these comrades' heroic struggle against the enemy in prison;In a speech at a meeting on June 1, 1968, Kang Sheng slandered that "these people are not only deceiving collectively, but also cooperating with Zhang Zhizhong to deceive our party and defecting to the enemy." Concealing, lurking, and deceiving the party in a planned way, and engaging in insiders in a planned way", pointing the finger at Comrade Zhou Enlai, who rescued these comrades from prison on behalf of the Party Central Committee.During the review, they resorted to fascist means to brutally persecute these comrades, resulting in the unjust deaths of more than 20 comrades including Ma Mingfang and Yang Zhihua, and many comrades were severely damaged physically and mentally.

After smashing the Lin Biao anti-Party clique, Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou instructed the Third Office of the former Central Special Investigation Group to investigate and verify the "Xinjiang Ma Ming Plan" (also known as the "April 3 Project").A large number of materials prove that in September 1942, Sheng Shicai, a warlord in Xinjiang, fabricated the so-called "April 12 Conspiracy and Riot Case" in order to achieve his criminal purpose of defecting to Chiang Kai-shek, framed our party, and sent all my personnel in Xinjiang (including our Party staff stationed in Xinjiang, personnel studying aviation, personnel returning from the Soviet Union, and personnel recuperating in Xinjiang) were detained and imprisoned in the spring of 1943.Comrades Chen Tanqiu, Mao Zemin, and Lin Jilu were unyielding and unyielding, exposing the enemy ruthlessly. Sheng Shicai became furious and ordered to kill everyone as an example. The three comrades died heroically.The vast majority of comrades such as Ma Mingfang and Zhang Ziyi have a firm stand, a clear-cut stand, and "a hundred sons of one mind". They not only fought against the enemy's beatings, imprisonment, starvation and other fascist atrocities "until death", and refuted all kinds of slander against our party; Fight against the wooing and seduction of traitors.It shows the fearless revolutionary spirit of the proletariat, maintains the revolutionary integrity of the Communist Party members, and there is no problem of surrender and rebellion. In 1946, the Party Central Committee instructed Comrade Zhou Enlai to entrust Mr. Zhang Zhizhong, chairman of Xinjiang Province of the Kuomintang, to release Ma Mingfang and 131 people (including 23 children) who were imprisoned in Xinjiang Prison unconditionally in June of the same year, and sent special personnel to escort them back to Yan'an.After these comrades returned to Yan'an, they were warmly welcomed by the Party Central Committee and the military and civilians. Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu cordially met and expressed condolences to the comrades who had returned from Xinjiang.Comrades Ma Mingfang and Zhang Ziyi truthfully reported to the Central Committee on behalf of the comrades in prison, and Comrade Fang Zhichun wrote the "Report on the Anti-Fascist Struggle in Xinjiang Prisons" to the Organization Department of the Central Committee on behalf of the comrades in prison.

Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou were very concerned about the rehabilitative work of the "Xinjiang Maming Plan". On July 31, 1975, the Third Central Special Office "Report on the Rehabilitation of the Xinjiang Maming Plan" was issued by the Central Office as Document [1975] No. 10 , and forwarded to the party committees of all provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions, the ministries and commissions of the central and state agencies, the headquarters of the Military Commission, all military branches, and the party committees of major military regions to follow and handle.However, due to the interference of the ultra-left line of the "Gang of Four", the report stated that the unjust case originally created by Lin Biao and Kang Sheng and others was "exposed" and "it is absolutely necessary to file a case for review."Moreover, it has not been announced to the cadres and the masses for a long time, so that some comrades who have been persecuted and implicated have suffered political injustice and have not been promptly and thoroughly rehabilitated.

Facts have proved that the so-called "Xinjiang Ma Mingfang Traitor Group Case" is an unjust case created by Lin Biao and Kang Sheng and others. All slanderous and false words imposed on Ma Mingfang, Zhang Ziyi and other comrades should be overthrown, completely rehabilitated, and their reputations restored.All comrades who were persecuted to death due to the "Xinjiang Ma Ming Plan" should be rehabilitated, hold a memorial service, and do a good job in the aftermath according to the party's policies; all comrades who have been implicated because of the case should also be rehabilitated and their reputation restored.And in accordance with the above spirit, make corresponding conclusions for each comrade (some party organizations have made realistic review conclusions before the Cultural Revolution, and the original conclusions can also be maintained).It is suggested to revoke Zongzheng (77) Zhengshenzi No. 13 "Review Report on the Xinjiang Air Force Case" and "Notice on the Review Conclusion of the Xinjiang Air Force Case", and this document shall prevail.Relevant archives and materials were carefully cleaned up in accordance with the relevant regulations issued by the central government.
