Chapter 63 truth

One morning in mid-July 1979, the formerly quiet house at No. 32, Dongzongbu Hutong, Beijing suddenly became lively: Li Gui, deputy director of the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee, came here to visit the 98-year-old famous economist Ma Yinchu.The meeting took place in Ma Lao's bedroom.Mr. Ma was sitting on the single sofa, and his wife and children were also present.Vice Minister Li Gui said: "Today, I was entrusted by the party to inform Mr. Ma that the two criticisms of you before 1958 and after the end of 1959 were wrong. Practice has proved that your new population theory of birth control is correct. The organization will rehabilitate you completely and restore your reputation. I hope that Mr. Ma can spend his old age happily and live a long and healthy life.” Mr. Ma happily replied, “I am very happy.” “More than 20 years ago, the population of China There are not many, but now there are too many. It is necessary to develop production as soon as possible!" The right and wrong of more than 20 years have finally been clarified, and the unjust case has finally been vindicated.Practice pronounces fair verdict: the truth is on his side.

In 1979, facing the heavy pressure of China's population, people thought of Ma Yinchu who put forward the "New Population Theory" 20 years ago, and "Guangming Daily" took the lead in restoring Ma Yinchu's reputation. On August 5, 1979, "Guangming Daily" published the article "Reversal of Mr. Ma Yinchu's New Population Theory".A large section of "Editor's Note" was added in front of the text, which made a deep inspection of the "Guangming Daily"'s wrong criticism of Mr. Ma Yinchu.Ma Yinchu said with emotion: "Back then I said that "Guangming Daily" was not bright, and "Guangming Daily" launched the surprise attack. Today, "Guangming Daily" took the lead in calling for me and "New Population Theory" to be vindicated. I am still very grateful to you for reversing the theory of the past and correcting it. I hope you will convey my gratitude to the readers."
