Biography of Chen Boda 叶永烈 2510Words 2018-03-16
This is the first time since the "Cultural Revolution" that Jiang Qing was blown up in front of Jiang Qing in public.He has clearly realized that Jiang Qing's power is expanding viciously! Chen Boda's words completely wiped out the working group that had been stationed in Peking University for less than two months. ※ ※ ※ Chen Boda and Jiang Qing "ignited the fire at the grassroots level", and in late July 1966, they became active as "primary school students" in many universities in Beijing.Chen Boda, who had never been good at speeches, always wanted to pull Wang Li by his side and let Wang Li act as his interpreter.Relatively speaking, Wang Li's Subei dialect is relatively easy to understand.

On July 24, 1966, Chen Boda, Jiang Qing, and Wang Li came to Beijing Broadcasting Institute.What Chen Boda said there was spread all over the country through big-character posters and leaflets. This is the first time since the "Cultural Revolution" that Jiang Qing was blown up in front of Jiang Qing in public.Since then, leaflets praising Jiang Qing have been flying all over the sky, and "theoreticians" have taken the lead. The following is the original transcript of Chen Boda’s speech at that time: Finally, let me say that those who slander the comrades in charge of the Central Committee must be refuted.A note delivered today slandered Comrade Jiang Qing.

Comrade Jiang Qing was the first deputy head of the Central Cultural Revolution Group.Comrade Jiang Qing participated in the revolution after the "September 18th" Incident and has a history of 35 years of struggle.Comrade Jiang Qing is a good member of our party.I have done a lot of work for the party, never show my face, and work for the party wholeheartedly.She is a good comrade in arms of Chairman Mao, and many enemies slander her... Chen Boda is really good at speculating, and he used such a note to make a big splash, and he really praised Jiang Qing.It's not that he doesn't know Jiang Qing's details, and he has worked beside Mao Zedong for many years, and he knows Jiang Qing's character well.He spoke so well of Jiang Qing, to put it bluntly, in order to consolidate his position as the leader of the "Central Cultural Revolution" group—if he did not get the support of "first deputy group leader" Jiang Qing, he would be unable to take a single step.He has clearly realized that Jiang Qing's power is expanding viciously!

Chen Boda actually knew Jiang Qing's character very well.Today, he recalled: Jiang Qing has no principles, but pretends that she is the most, the most, and the highest holding the red banner of Mao Zedong Thought.She thinks she can direct everything, as if whoever disobeys her is against Chairman Mao, is counter-revolutionary, and so on.That's how she conspired to seize the leadership of the central government. ...Jiang Qing was not faithful to Chairman Mao. She told me three times that she wanted to leave Chairman Mao...the first time, in Yan'an Zaoyuan...the second time in Xibaipo...the third time, after liberation, in Beijing Xishan.

… What Jiang Qing said was one thing, but what she wanted to do was another. What she wanted was to achieve the goal of seizing the power of the central government through impersonation and unscrupulous means. This passage from Chen Boda shows that he knows everything about Jiang Qing. However, when he needed to please Jiang Qing, he also "pretended and used unscrupulous means"! Jiang Qing needs the support of "theoreticians".However, with such a handful, Jiang Qing was so proud that his "singing" was out of tune! On July 25, Mao Zedong received all members of the "Central Cultural Revolution" headed by Chen Boda, and clearly pointed out that the working group "had a bad effect and hindered the movement" and "expelled them all." On the evening of July 26, the "Central Cultural Revolution" appeared in Peking University as a "powerful" camp. The "team leader" Chen Boda came, the "advisor" Kang Sheng came, the "first deputy team leader" Jiang Qing came, the "deputy team leader" Zhang Chunqiao came, and the "team member" Qi Benyu came...

Tens of thousands of teachers and students from Peking University gathered in the playground to welcome this group of "central leaders" with warm applause. Jiang Qing was very proud, because the "Central Cultural Revolution" had decided to bombard the working group headed by Zhang Chengxian at this conference, and dealt a heavy blow to Liu Shaoqi. Jiang Qing, who claimed to be a "primary school student", became more and more excited, and even said a lot of shocking things: "Let's look at Zhang Chengxian's cadre line again. Among the leadership core is Zhang Shaohua, a fifth-grade student in the Chinese Department. Her mother, Zhang Wenqiu, is... She herself said that she is Chairman Mao's daughter-in-law, but we don't admit it at all!"

Jiang Qing's "out-of-key" words made the tens of thousands of listeners puzzled like King Kong.Zhang Shaohua, also known as Shao Hua, married Mao Zedong's second son Mao Anqing in 1959. How could she not be "Chairman Mao's daughter-in-law"?Jiang Qing said, "We don't admit it at all." Besides Jiang Qing, who else is this "we"? Jiang Qing poured dirty water on Zhang Wenqiu again.Zhang Wenqiu is Mao Zedong's "double in-laws", a weather-beaten old revolutionary.Zhang Wenqiu's name is Guolan, also known as Shanfei, and Wenqiu is her nickname. Born in Xiejiawan, Qingshuling, Beijingshan County, Hubei in 1903.

Joined the Communist Party of China in January 1926.Introduced by Yun Daiying, she met and fell in love with Liu Qianchu, a member of the Communist Party of China (in 1930, he was the head of the organization of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China).Zhang Wenqiu knew Mao Zedong very early and was also acquainted with Yang Kaihui.After Zhang Wenqiu married Liu Qianchu, they gave birth to their daughter Liu Siqi, also known as Liu Songlin.After the unfortunate death of Liu Qianchu, Zhang Wenqiu came to Yan'an, married Chen Zhenya, a cadre of the Long March of the Red Army, and gave birth to his daughter Zhang Shaohua.Chen Zhenya later served as the director of the political department of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army. In the spring of 1939, Chen Zhenya was killed by Xinjiang warlord Sheng Shicai.Zhang Wenqiu brought up Liu Songlin and Zhang Shaohua, two half-sisters with different fathers and mothers.Later, Liu Songlin married Mao Anying and became Mao Zedong's eldest daughter-in-law, while Zhang Shaohua became Mao Zedong's second daughter-in-law.Jiang Qing, who claims to be the "First Lady", cannot tolerate the son of Mao Zedong's ex-wife Yang Kaihui, nor her daughter-in-law and Zhang Wenqiu at home.These were originally family affairs, but once Jiang Qing "got out of tune", he actually revealed it at the meeting of ten thousand people, crying while talking, very excited.

Jiang Qing scolded Zhang Shaohua, scolded Zhang Wenqiu, and suddenly talked about her daughter Li Nalai: "There is another man named Hao Bin who is a teacher and secretary of the party branch. He is also an activist. He was originally in Guangxi to carry out the Four Cleanups, but he came to Shunyi somehow. He resolutely carried out the revisionist line of the former Beijing Municipal Party Committee and implemented Counter-offensive. Li Na disagreed and fought against him, so they besieged Li Na and another comrade.Li Na's attitude was not very good, so I asked Li Na to find Hao Bin to criticize himself.I said you have a bad attitude, you check yourself.Don't say anything about Hao Bin.But when Li Na went to make self-criticism, he was gone.I tolerated it for years.This is class struggle. Some people want to corrupt our children. Class struggle has come to our family. This is Zhang Chengxian.

"In the past few years, I have been working in the literary and art circles. I have come here and there for a while, and I don't know how to fight and how much persecution I have suffered. I didn't have a heart disease, but now my heart is not good. I also want to sue !" Jiang Qing's words really spoiled the scenery.There was a lot of discussion in the audience, not knowing what Jiang Qing was talking about.At this time, Jiang Qing probably also realized that he was "out of tune", so he hurriedly said: "Now let Comrade Chen Boda speak, okay?" Chen Boda returned to the topic and criticized the working group of Peking University by name, which made the "out-of-key" conference set the "general direction".

In this way, Chen Boda's words completely wiped out the working group that had been stationed in Peking University for less than two months.The Peking University working group once severely criticized the "June 18th" incident and issued the "Peking University Cultural Revolution Briefing (No. 9)". The method of combating phenomena is correct and timely."Chen Boda, who had agreed with Liu Shaoqi's instructions at the time, completely "erased" what he said more than a month ago at this time, and made a 180-degree turn. Under heavy pressure, on July 28, 1966, the Beijing New Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China made a decision to abolish the working group of universities, middle schools and schools. The next day, the "Cultural Revolution Activists Conference of Teachers and Students of Beijing Junior Colleges and Secondary Schools" was held in the Great Hall of the People. The precarious Liu Shaoqi appeared on the rostrum and delivered a speech insincerely: "As for how to carry out the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, you don't know much, you don't know much, you ask us, I will answer you honestly, I don't know..."
