Chapter 15 Chapter 14 "Electrocentrism"

Just after the "Twenty-Three Articles" were issued nationwide, Chen Boda was busy collecting information on the implementation of the "Twenty-Three Articles" across the country for Mao Zedong. A mysterious woman took a special train from Beijing to Shanghai. This person is Lan Ping, a Shanghai actor.Since becoming Mrs. Mao Zedong in Yan'an, she has been dormant for more than 20 years.At this moment, she is active and is grasping the "Peking Opera Revolution" and establishing a "model opera".When she went to Shanghai this time, she stated that she was going to Shanghai to study and revise the Peking Opera "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom", but secretly she was looking for "stick hands" to write and criticize the "big poisonous weed" by Wu Han, the deputy mayor of Beijing and historian. "Hai Rui Dismissed from Office" article...

Chen Boda knew nothing about Jiang Qing's trip.It stands to reason that this "theorist" is a stick hand skilled in "stick skills", not to mention being close at hand.However, Jiang Qing left this "big scholar" and went all the way to Shanghai to find Zhang Chunqiao, and chose the "little stick" Yao Wenyuan.Jiang Qing avoids Chen Boda, of course there are her reasons: she is not even a member of the Central Committee, how can she command Chen Boda, an alternate member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee?Her job at that time was just a section chief of the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and Chen Boda was her boss—the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China..."Theoretician" didn't know a "magnificent essay" at all

He is secretly drafting and revising one draft after another in Shanghai, and he is busy proposing the "Electroncentric Theory". During that time, Chen Boda visited many factories and scientific research institutions in Beijing and Tianjin, planning to put forward a new "theory"—— The development of the national economy must center on the electronics industry. In fact, his "macro theory" is not his first creation.He took over this slogan from Japan and the GDR, and tried to implement it in China. On March 5, 1965, Chen Boda, as the vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, made the following speech to some leaders of the Chinese Academy of Sciences:

Recently, the Japanese proposed to "take the development of electronic technology as a national plan"; East Germany proposed that the electronic component industry has become "the center of the entire national economy" and that the electronic industry should be "developed as one of the leading industrial sectors."What is the intention of the Japanese?Is the reference to East Germany correct?I don't know much about natural science and technology, please study it carefully, at least we can see some signs from it. You can discuss and discuss, can grasping the electronicization can promote the development of the four modernizations, grasping electronics, electronic technology, and electronic industry, what kind of chain reactions will be caused in various aspects?

To this end, it is necessary to study: the relationship between electronics and various other disciplines; the relationship between electronic technology and other new technologies;What will happen if you don't grasp the electronics... On March 24, 1965, Chen Boda made another speech to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, again emphasizing the "electrocentrism".It should be said that Chen Boda put forward the "Electronics Center Theory" in 1965, nothing more than emphasizing the importance of the development of the electronics industry and the importance of the electronics industry in the national economy.His view should be said to be correct.He asked the electronics industry to carry out a 20-year plan, and quickly grasp the electronics industry. He hoped that in the next 20 years, China's electronics industry will be vigorously developed. His opinions are predictable.

However, after Chen Boda's downfall, he made many mistakes, "hated the house and black people", and made the "e-centrism" proposed by Chen Boda the object of "major criticism". On August 12, 1971, the "People's Daily" published the article "Criticism of "Electronic Center Theory"" by the "Writing Group for the Great Criticism of the Electronic Industrial Revolution". After such a series of "criticisms" on "e-centrism", it finally came down to "it is extremely reactionary in politics, it is very absurd in theory, and it is very harmful in practice".

In China, there is a popular saying of "nonsense because of people".Negating Chen Boda's "Electronic Center Theory" is a typical example of "nonsense because of people".Of course, Chen Boda was one of the 16 main criminals of the "Lin Biao and Jiang Qing counter-revolutionary clique", but he was not useless.It should be said that Chen Boda was far-sighted when he put forward the "electrocentrism" in 1965.Today's modernization process, industry and the practice of scientific and technological development have proved that the "electronic" industry does play a "central" role.
