Chapter 62 The Struggle Between Aboveground Literature and Underground Literature After Qingming Festival

After the Qingming Dynasty in Bingchen, the "Gang of Four" ordered the investigation of "political rumors", the arrest of active participants in the Tiananmen incident and other similar incidents, and the "behind-the-scenes planning operations".A large number of people were arrested and sentenced, and the whole country was filled with white terror. At the same time, the "Gang of Four" created public opinion and organized the "Capital Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers Singing Conference", with 18,000 participants, who sang more than 40 songs praising the "Cultural Revolution" and criticizing Deng. On May 16, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the "Cultural Revolution", the "Criticism of Deng Deng and Fighting Against the Right Deviation Style" was carried out in depth. Poetry Magazine, "People's Literature", and "Beijing Literature and Art" jointly organized poetry readings and concerts.

In a short period of time, Tsinghua University created thousands of poems "criticizing Deng and anti-rightists".Various department and class posters, blackboard newspapers, mimeographed tabloids, and big-character posters.Workers, professors and student workers, peasants and soldiers took the stage to recite. On May Day, various programs organized to crush the "Tiananmen Square counter-revolutionary incident" were staged.Tsinghua University's dance "Reversing the Case is Unpopular" created the image of Hong Gang, the leader of the workers' propaganda.At the beginning of the dance, Hong Gang led the workers' propaganda team to march bravely to the upper buildings, and firmly put the red flag on the education position. Suddenly, several gunshots fired, Hong Gang was wounded, and blood was stained on the fiery red battle flag...

In June, "Beijing Literature and Art" published the short story "Severe Days". In the novel, Lu Jianhua, a labor militiaman in the capital, fought resolutely with his father, capitalist roader Lu Chuanlong, and his younger brother, "Xiaopingtou" Lu Jianqi.Lu Jianqi quietly pasted reactionary poems under the monument under the night, but was grabbed by the neck by Lu Jianhua.Lu Jianqi begged; "Sister, let me go!" Lu Jianhua severely reprimanded: "Who is your sister, go, follow me!" During the fight, Lu Jianhua hugged Lu Jianqi's waist and shouted: "Comrades! Come and catch the counter-revolutionaries!"

In the dying struggle, Lu Jianqi pulled out a dagger from his waist, and stabbed Lu Jianhua's head fiercely... on Lu Jianhua's right shoulder. In an instant, bright red blood gushed out and splashed on the white marble railing of the monument... A review article praised "Austere Days", thinking that the novel was good because it exposed Deng Xiaoping as the "backstage" of the Tiananmen counter-revolutionary incident. On the day when justice is tortured and killed, when tears and crying are not allowed, young poets start to spit out angry flames from the "underground".Here is the most mature poem in underground literature, the rebel's manifesto:

tell you, world, I do not believe! —— north island In the summer of 1976, in Nanjing, two so-called Qilu poems by Deng Xiaoping and Marshal Liu Bocheng were secretly circulated among the people.These two poems are obviously "false entrustment", but they reflect the support of the people at that time. Qilu·Deng Xiaoping sends Marshal Bo Cheng A letter was forwarded to Chairman Bian, stabbed to match Shu Guolu 8,000. It's for the people to eliminate evils, how dare you cherish your dying years. Where is the home of Yunheng Qinling? The rain blocks the mountain and the car.

Since ancient times, no one has died in life. I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood. Marshal Qilu Bocheng sends Deng Xiaoping off Now I believe even more that the road to Shu is difficult, and traveling across the ocean is Xuanyuan. During the years of Taihang, we thought together, and Wolong competed to determine the Central Plains. The most important thing is that the hero will not retreat, and he will fight hard to turn the tide. The grand policy is not complete, the world sighs, and it is often said that the Chinese tears are like a fountain.
