Chapter 39 The third section adds a few words to the standpoints of the five Standing Committee members at the meeting

I have already talked a lot about the standpoints, viewpoints, status and roles of the five Standing Committee members at this Central Working Conference. After understanding the development process and the spirit of the conference, I would like to summarize a few more words about my impressions. . First, Hua Guofeng, who presided over the meeting from beginning to end.On the issue of construction, he is active and active, and he is willing to talk more.It can be seen that he hopes to focus on discussing the three issues raised at the opening meeting, and he also tries his best to guide such discussions.I think he was mentally prepared for the meeting to propose to rehabilitate the nature of the "Tiananmen Incident", to resolve many major unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, and to raise issues such as "two whatevers" and the standard of truth.There are two points that can be proved. First, he did not mention the "two whatevers" at the closing meeting, nor did he use the method of citing the "supreme instructions" to speak, which made the attendees even more disgusted and even angered many attendees; He approved a statement on the "Tiananmen Incident" at the enlarged meeting of the Beijing Municipal Standing Committee, which was very different from his tone in the March 1977 work meeting, hoping to gain some initiative.Generally speaking, he was passive on these issues, but he did not resist. Although it is impossible to change completely, he has always adopted an attitude of considering and even accepting everyone's opinions.The meeting went smoothly, and his attitude played a positive role.

Then talk about Ye Jianying.He knew that he was very old and respected, and he didn't talk much, but he was very clear about the direction of the meeting.He actively supports the discussion that practice is the criterion for testing truth, and he agrees with the position that "practice is the only criterion for testing truth".Hua Guofeng is very clear about this, and many veteran comrades are very clear.Many senior military cadres knew about his idea of ​​convening a theoretical retreat, and his idea that the article on the criterion of truth should be sent to the whole country.He supported Deng Xiaoping's guiding ideology for this meeting, and he also trusted Hu Yaobang, asking Hu Yaobang to find someone to draft his speech at the meeting, and his views on the implementation of full democracy in his speech should be said to be very exciting.He himself prepared for this speech for a long time, and finally took it out.I thought it was inappropriate for Ye Jianying's speech not to be included in the book "Since the Third Plenary Session".

Write Deng Xiaoping again.Deng Xiaoping came back for the second time after being "knocked down" during the "Cultural Revolution". Counting from the Third Plenary Session of the Tenth Central Committee in July 1977, although it was only one year and four months until that time, due to his character, talent and leadership in the whole country, Deng Xiaoping came back for the second time. The prestige of the party and the people of the whole country, because of the support of many veteran comrades who were persecuted during the "Cultural Revolution" and were liberated at that time and returned to responsible work positions, he became the soul of this meeting.He has hints and pointers for the convening of this meeting, the determination of the basic direction and goals, every important step forward in the development of this meeting, the resolution of important issues, and the decisions that should be made at the Third Plenary Session.Deng Xiaoping's speech at the Central Work Conference was called "Emancipate the Mind, Seek Truth from Facts, and Look Ahead in Unity" in the report of the 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China as the manifesto of reform and opening up, and it was Deng Xiaoping's most important contribution to the Central Work Conference.The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee did not have a theme report, and Deng Xiaoping's speech at the Central Work Conference was actually the theme report of the Third Plenary Session.This report has far-reaching significance. Even today, we still urgently need to emphasize the spirit of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts.Just as Mao Zedong's position as the leader of the Chinese Communist Party was actually established at the Central Conference held in Zunyi, Guizhou in 1935, Deng Xiaoping's leadership position in the Chinese Communist Party was also established at this Central Work Conference.

I should write a few words about Li Xiannian.Li Xiannian did not speak at the general meeting of the Central Working Conference, nor did he convey instructions to the sub-committees, but his role in the Central Working Conference should not be ignored.One of the three topics initially set by the Central Working Conference was to discuss Li Xiannian's report at the State Council retreat.He participated in the collective leadership of the meeting by the Standing Committee from beginning to end, and he actively spoke at the meeting where the Standing Committee listened to the reports of the conveners of each group.He is also particularly concerned about agricultural documents and has held a symposium with 13 people.

Finally, talk about Wang Dongxing.I would like to say a few good words to him here. He has also been participating in the collective leadership of the Standing Committee.He was criticized at the meeting, and he was criticized by name. No matter what he thought in his heart, he still wrote a written review for this meeting, and it was printed and distributed at the third plenary session of the Central Committee.It cannot be said that he did not contribute at all to the success of the Central Work Conference. In this section, I am writing about the five members of the Standing Committee of the Central Working Conference. After Comrade Chen Yun was by-elected as a member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo at the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee, there will be six members of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee.
