Chapter 16 Bull Commander

In 1966, a 32-year-old male business cadre of the equipment department of a bureau in T City My business is a strange thing--I was afraid of luring the enemy deep in 1957 and did not dare to rebel--Ma Ji's cross talk "Love the Cow" led my father--this nickname was transferred to me--a "rebellious" commander- - Don't be awkward and memorize it for ten years Speaking of those ten years, I really didn't suffer much, and I was never beaten, but it was no better than being beaten and ransacked and criticized.It's strange to me, it's a strange thing.Busy, let's make a long story short, ten years, you have to believe it, don't look at us as a big deal, it takes a day or two to spread out all the bumps in your heart.I'll just say it's weird, okay.

My business is for a nickname. So you won't understand, you have to start talking. I said that I joined the revolution relatively early.This "revolution" does not mean that the old comrades fought against the Japanese guerrilla.At that time, we called participating in work as participating in the revolution.It's not called that anymore.I've always been used to it. I served in the army, worked as a cultural teacher, worked as a cadre, and studied in a technical school with good grades. Later, when I was engaged in basic construction, I still insisted on self-study.Technology, management, administration, we can do it all.Popularity is also good.My surname is Niu, and everyone calls me Maverick.I said that nickname is not the calf. Before the "Cultural Revolution", people from the "Anti-Rightist Movement" and "Four Cleanups" participated in all the campaigns, and their performance was always applauded.But my family background is not good. My father was an official in the Kuomintang army, so he gave up on me.But I, indeed, grew up eating the food of the Communist Party, and indeed I was trained by the Communist Party, but I also know that the organization has always mistrusted me and rest assured... I am not crying, nor am I wronged.Why cry I can't say well.

The year before the "Cultural Revolution" started, I went to the "Four Cleanups". Until the secretary of the municipal party committee committed suicide, our work team withdrew.Our department is different from other departments. This equipment department is quite a company, and it is the second largest department in the bureau. It directly manages many factories below. Before the "Cultural Revolution", because there were too many factories down there, we couldn't manage them, so we planned to build a general factory. The party relations in the factory hadn't been transferred to the company, and we couldn't move after the "Four Cleanups". After the "Cultural Revolution", it was completely paralyzed , many messy administrative affairs are spread out at our office.When I came back, there was no leader in the department, and the director ordered the factory below to criticize. Even a cadre in charge was taken away by the tractor factory.There was no one in the department, and since I was older and had a higher level of education, the director asked me to take care of the affairs of the department temporarily.Anyway, I didn't care about any business for a while, some were afraid of losing their black hats, and some wanted to be the leader, otherwise it wouldn't be my turn to ask me to take care of business.As an ordinary cadre, I took over this dilapidated mess and spent my whole day catching things and tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall.At this moment, various units are clamoring to set up "rebel teams", as if there is no guarantee without organizing people.Everywhere in our bureau also broke out.Only our equipment department was left untouched, because the director of the department was not there, and the main cadres were arrested again.But the target focused on me, making a fuss for me to stand out.Firstly, I am timid and afraid of getting into trouble; secondly, as I said, my background is not strong, so let me seep first, and then don’t do it if I can.It's better to be still than to move.

According to the "Sixteen Points", it is a great honor to elect the "Revolutionary Committee" in the style of the Paris Commune. It is an honor. Our bureau established a "Revolutionary Committee" to elect four members, one director and three deputy directors; the original director of the party committee office I became the director, and I was elected as the deputy director. If it weren't for the Paris Commune style, I wouldn't be able to make it. What kind of business do we come from?That's a great honor.The Revolutionary Committee was established, and ghosts and monsters were engaged in. The three comrades were responsible for pulling, burning, and fighting.These three comrades have good backgrounds and are considered Red Guards.But their work quality is not good, so they just engage in sports.I lead more than a dozen cadres to do business.To be honest, I feel that this time the attack is ferocious. I felt it as early as when the factory was carrying out the "Four Cleanups". .I just feel that the big talk in 1957 was just to lure the enemy to go deeper.When I heard Chen Yi's report in 1962, I knew more about the depth and depth of this, and learned the lessons of history.Besides, if you come from a bad background, if you don’t have a good life, you will toss yourself. This is what I call being wise and safe.I just keep my head down and do practical things, but it’s not enough to engage in business without sports. People say that you are not loyal to Chairman Mao, so we will receive young Red Guards.It was also drudgery.The Red Guards who came in series from other places, some are polite, some are poor, no matter what they are, they have to eat, drink and shelter, get them blankets, mats and straw curtains, tell them to live; buy them fleece coats and cotton hats ; They eat for free, so they put it in the account. Anyway, the higher ups are energetic and support the young generals.Regardless of this kind of thing, it's hard and tiring, those little ancestors are so easy to take care of.Our equipment department was moved over and over again to make room for them, and they had no place to live. Finally, we had to move to the conference room outside the director's office.At this time, "rebel teams" were set up everywhere else, but we didn't set up one. It's like we don't have a revolution, and we have emotions, opinions and opinions about the "Cultural Revolution", and there is pressure invisibly.I figured out a way to study for two hours every afternoon, read documents, read editorials, two newspapers and one editorial, learn quotations, sing quotation songs, sing the Internationale, and sing "Sailing the Seas Rely on the Helmsman".But the rumors came, saying that our equipment department is a "happy place".Wasn't there a slogan at that time: "No revolution means counter-revolution"?An old director of the bureau said to me: "Why are you so conservative? Everyone has formed a team, and you are not afraid of people talking like this?" Another old technical cadre, who is a good person, also quietly advised me: "Don't let others have opinions. I have to show something." After thinking about it, I found a leaflet, which was a declaration of the establishment of another "rebel team". Basically, the words did not change. Red Rebel Team".The leaflets were printed on engraving plates, and the old bureau chief helped us turn over the leaflets and print them. After posting them, it will be considered established.Our organization was the last to be established in this bureau, and this bureau has also become popular in the mountains and rivers.In fact, it is also troublesome to set up.Because the entire bureau, including the various companies and factories below, has formed two major factions.And we are the largest number of people in the bureau, and we manage more than a dozen factories below. Some factories have no factory managers, and we directly manage them. We are considered to be powerful.

My thinking at the time was that the establishment of the "rebel team" was just to deal with it, and I must be careful not to drag myself into it like the "anti-rightist" in 1957.Movements are always temporary. After dealing with this hurdle, take the comrades in the department safely. No matter what, don’t preempt, don’t take the lead, don’t fight, don’t make trouble, don’t infiltrate the two factions in society That's fine. Once you join the "rebel team", you will understand more things.In the past, I watched the "Rebel Team" from the outside of the "Rebel Team", but now I watch the "Rebel Team" from the inside of the "Rebel Team".To be honest, caring about national affairs is all nonsense, so I have to shout that's all.Some are fishing for their heads and fighting for their lives; some are like me, they are wise and safe, and they are steady.With such a big movement, who knows where he would fall if he made a mistake.This is by no means like the "anti-rightist movement" that takes heart and soul, no one takes the sincerity, everyone has their own abacus, and everyone has room for it.Engaging in sports has made people more refined, and they are more thieves than their hometown thieves.My principle is not to participate in the debate, don't get involved, stay in the middle, and only do marginal and risk-free things.For example, controlling ghosts and ghosts, organizing them to study, and posting big slogans and big-character posters. "A gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands", and does not use force.Fortunately, there was no fighting in our bureau.To say that the two factions in our bureau are all due to the background of interpersonal relationships.Opinions are nothing but excuses.The two factions are divided by the two bureau leaders, and they know each other who belongs to whom.It wasn't clear at first, but it became clear after the disturbance.One group is the old people in the bureau, the original cadre team, and the other group is the newcomers transferred in later, most of them are political cadres, following a leader transferred in later.These cadres all have struggle experience, are used to fighting in the dark, not good at fighting openly, even when the sports are intense, they quarrel, but they still eat together at noon every day, interrupting.As far as this situation is concerned, it’s not bad. Without you, it’s life and death. Later, the big union didn’t take much effort. Once the twenty-six yuan sign was hung on the door, it was connected.I mainly focus on one point, which is to focus on business. At that time, it was called "promoting production".We didn't stop working until ten thousand cadres were transferred to the lower levels. I think it's safe to do so.

But I didn't expect that you didn't look for trouble, and the trouble came to you, and it actually found me. A leader of the "rebel team" came to me with a notebook every day and showed me.This is about six or seven years.He said: "This was originally copied from the home of the head of the 'Revolutionary Alliance' in the city on May 30th. Our director said what you said when he was reporting the movement in the bureau at his home." I was surprised when I saw it. , and inexplicably, it actually says that my father is the commander of the Kuomintang.I was very annoyed, about the projection, how did I become the son of the Kuomintang commander?When the two factions joined forces, I asked him what was going on in public.A comrade from the infrastructure department said: "I know what's going on. A few years ago, a comrade said in our department that Commander Niu in Ma Ji's cross talk "Prince of the Cows" was Maverick's father. Later, when the words reached the ears of the director of the equipment department, the joke became half-truth. When the director reported to the higher-ups, he said that the commander of the Kuomintang in "The Story of the Cow" was Da Niu, and it became true."

The people present at the time laughed out loud.I was angry and anxious, and questioned the director.He is tough. His younger brother is a high-ranking official in Beijing, and he thinks he has a backer.Not only did he not admit his mistake, but he even scolded me face to face: "You son of a bitch, what are you? Liu'er didn't slap his mouth, he was too far away, so he swiped him with the tip of his finger.But after that, I got the nickname "Commander Niu".First it was my dad's nickname, and then it fell on me.Of course it's a joke nickname, I don't mind it, sometimes I'm quite proud of it.I am good at administration, but I am also in charge of other affairs. Calling me commander is tantamount to respecting me.When I meet people every day, I am "Commander Niu"; when I call me, I am also "Commander Niu".No one in the bureau didn't call me "Commander Niu".Some people below also know.I don't know my name, but I know that there is a "Niu Commander" in the equipment department.I just don't know the origin of the nickname.Call me a nickname to show that you are warm, so you can find me for work.Later, cadres were transferred to workers, some went to cadre schools, and some went to new units. I carried this nickname to grass-roots factories, but I thought it was a nickname.No matter who calls it that way, it feels pretty close.Shouldn't this be over, no.

In 1976, when the chaos was rectified and the "Cultural Revolution" was cleared up, somehow, confused, and I didn't know where it was made, people in the new unit even thought I was the commander of the original bureau, the leader of the "rebel team", and became the leader of the "rebel team". I became the commander of the rebellion. Is it wrong?I don't know which bastard made it, but this is no joke, everyone takes it seriously. Didn't I sweep the director's neck that time? The director insisted that I beat him, and that he took one of the crimes, and kept censoring me secretly.My professional title, grading, and promotion to the deputy factory director are always implicated in this matter, and no one dares to accept my suggestions for reform.Confusing a nickname, as if "Cultural Revolution" I have some crimes.If I made a fuss in the bureau back then, whoever called me this nickname would be a bastard, that would be fine.What's more unfortunate is that when I was in the bureau, the two factions joined forces to fight against the party in power. In the People's Auditorium, I don't know where to get the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee to accompany the fight. One of the comrades in charge of the project told me to go up because I was big.I went up there and asked a photographer to take pictures of it. Later, it was found out and it was regarded as a wrong evidence of my "Cultural Revolution", and it was invisibly associated with the nickname "Niu Commander". It's not bad luck .

After the "Cultural Revolution" in our bureau, a new team was formed. In our group, those old people have all left, and the other group, in order to avoid problems, put the blame on people who were not present.Not only did no one explain it to me, but I wish I had something to do.My "Rebel Commander" was accepted by default.Made me miserable.I checked again and again, and I didn't ask me face to face, and I couldn't find anything after the investigation, and I always checked secretly. Whenever the investigation was tight, some kind people in the bureau would call me to inform me: "Tell Maverick that the investigation will be conducted again soon, and tell him not to come to the bureau and avoid it." It seemed that I really had a problem.If you really ask them, they will say, who checked you, do you have a ghost in your heart?It made me dare not go to the bureau to ask for instructions even if I had a job.I can't get up or down in the unit, and no one talks about me in person, but I often feel like something is wrong, and I just carry this nickname for several years, whether it's uncomfortable or not.

It wasn't until the year before last, when the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee investigated and sorted out the situation, that someone officially told me that your problem was found out, and that it was not a case of vandalism.Last year, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection talked to me and said that you have been tired in the past few years. It was originally planned to appoint you as the deputy factory director.Hey, that's the end of it, good guy, it's not very good to get a nickname in the city. Regarding this "Commander Niu", they say it's nothing, so don't explain it to the people in your unit.Because there is no case, there is no problem of implementation.

People who don't know the situation now still call me "Niu Commander"; those who know the situation don't call me this nickname anymore.Probably know that this is not a good thing.No wonder this happened. ***The part of life beyond human imagination is absurd. ***
