Chapter 48 Section 2 Convening of the Third Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee

The meeting consisted of reading the documents of the Central Work Conference all day on the 18th and conveying the speeches of Deng Xiaoping, Ye Jianying and Hua Guofeng at the closing meeting. This Central Plenary Session did not make a keynote report.Judging from the contents of the speeches of the three central leaders at the closing meeting of the Central Work Conference, Deng Xiaoping's speech was incisively and comprehensively discussed the party's line, principles, policies, tasks and organizational issues. theme report. On the evening of the 18th, the first meeting of the Third Plenary Session was held at the Jingxi Hotel.At the meeting, Hua Guofeng talked about the method of opening the meeting, the agenda of the meeting, etc.These words were those he had already said at the closing meeting of the Central Working Conference. His speech was very short, and it was obviously not the theme report of the Third Plenary Session in terms of content.

On the 19th, each group continued to read the documents, and the Northwest group started the discussion first.From the 20th to the 22nd each group will discuss.In my impression, the addition of members of the Central Committee, members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, and the addition of Chen Yun as vice chairman of the Party Central Committee were all passed before other issues were voted on at the one-day meeting.I remember that the Third Plenum of the CPC Central Committee only had a meeting on the first and last day, and the rest were group meetings. The content of the three-day group meeting can be summarized into four items: the first item is that the Central Committee members who originally participated in the Central Work Conference introduced the situation of the Central Work Conference to the Central Committee members who did not participate in the meeting in the form of speeches; Those who expressed their views on the speeches made by the leaders of the Central Committee at the closing meeting of the Central Work Conference, expressed their views on the addition of members of the Central Committee, members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, and vice-chairmen of the Central Committee at the plenary session, and expressed their views on the establishment of the Central Disciplinary Inspection Commission and the list of candidates for the Central Disciplinary Inspection Commission; Like the Central Work Conference, the Three Articles express opinions on the "two whatevers", "practice is the only criterion for testing truth", rehabilitating unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, and health issues.There is another, that is, the fourth article, which is to express our position on the draft communiqué of the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee and propose amendments.

There are many things to be done in the three-day group meeting, but there will no longer be discussions of different opinions at the meeting.At the meeting, Wang Dongxing and some comrades continued to express some criticisms, and some new situations that had not been revealed by the Central Work Conference were revealed. On the last night a general meeting was held.The conference first passed the arrangements for the addition of members of the Central Committee, members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and vice-chairmen, two agricultural documents and the 1979-1980 national economic plan in principle, and the plenary communiqué.Before the addition, the official attendees of the Third Plenary Session did not have the right to vote. After the addition was passed, they would have the right to vote when the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection was elected.As a result of the election, all 100 candidates for the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on the candidate list were elected, and the first secretary Chen Yun, the second secretary Deng Yingchao, the third secretary Hu Yaobang, the executive secretary Huang Kecheng, 11 deputy secretaries, and 23 members of the standing committee .After Chen Yun was elected, he delivered a speech at the meeting.

During the process of holding the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, there was nothing for me to do. There were very few briefings. The sum of the six groups’ briefings was only as many as one group of the Central Work Conference. Reading the briefings did not take much time.I had five days of relatively easy days. Note: During the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, I suddenly remembered something I wanted to do, that is, to build the building of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, we sent Deputy Secretary-General Du Ganquan to Hong Kong for inspection.After returning to Beijing, he brought back an advertisement about the sale of a real estate developer in Yuen Long, Kowloon.This advertisement sparked an idea of ​​mine: to build houses in Shenzhen similar to the ones in the Yuen Long advertisement, and then sell these houses to residents of Kowloon, and at the same time relax the entry and exit restrictions on the people from Hong Kong and Kowloon who become the owners of these houses at the Luohu border , to simplify procedures.In this way, the differential land rent generated by the land in Shenzhen due to its distance from the market is linked to Hong Kong Kowloon, which can greatly increase the land rent in Shenzhen, making us a socialist "landlord" and benefiting from it.

Xi Zhongxun was the first secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee at the time. One night, I went to his room to talk about my ideas. Attended the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China—brought the secretary to me, listened to my opinions and took notes.Later, when I learned that Xi Zhongxun and Jiao Linyi had returned to Guangdong, I conveyed my opinion downward.My suggestion is one of the sources for Shenzhen to establish a special zone.Of course, this is a matter that has nothing to do with the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee. I mentioned this matter only to show that I was relatively free at that time, and during the Central Work Conference, I would not think of doing such a thing.
