On the afternoon of May 5, 1969, Chen Yinke, who was lying in bed exhausted, was once again forced to give an oral explanation to those in power.Chen Yinke said, "I am now in a death row for example", until the end of his tears and blood, he could not speak.At 5:30 am on October 7th, Chen Yinke died of heart failure in the bitter wind and rain.One month later, on November 21, Tang Yuan passed away and followed Chen Yinke. Gan Shaosu, wife of Liang Zongdai, said in her memoir "Zong Dai and Me": "At that time, the people who were punished and their families were particularly afraid of the tweeter. Whenever they heard the sound of the tweeter, they would tremble with fear, because the Red Guards often used the tweeter. Notify the meeting, and invite people to come out to criticize and parade; and going out once is a small death. Chen Yinke, a first-level teacher in the history department, is blind and timid. Whenever he hears his name being called from the loudspeaker, he trembles and wets his pants. In this way, I was finally scared to death."
