Zhu Qianli committed suicide, and some people in the crowd were very indignant, saying that he was "playing a dead dog".But the chairman who presided over the meeting that day asked Fan Fan to self-criticize, blaming himself for not grasping the venue well, because he was temporarily promoted to be the chairman and did not know Zhu Qianli's details.He blamed himself for not allowing Zhu Qianli to spread fallacies that confuse the true and the false, and at the same time for not allowing the masses to ask random questions, especially the slogan of "Down with Thousand Miles of Pigs", which is obviously not in line with policy.Regarding this point, Luo Hou protested to the chairman as soon as the meeting was over.Fan Fan then held a meeting to learn from experience, reminding people not to make mistakes, and that ideological work should be meticulous.

Seeing that Zhu Qianli's review was so bad, Ding Shihang was frightened into a dilemma.He didn't do the self-examination, he was the first to sign up.The team told him to wait for a while, let Zhu Qianli do it first, he can't run away.Do it, if you tell the truth, you will inevitably suffer, and if you don't tell the truth, you will fail.How to do it? Ding Baogui is the only old gentleman in the classical group.He is too lazy to study documents carefully, and loves to say strange things.Say he is confused, but he is very shrewd; say he understands, but he is also confused.Everyone called him "Baby Ding" behind his back—even in person.The leaders of the contemporary group and the theoretical group are all revolutionary cadres, and they have done self-reflection long ago.As for this Mr. Ding, he couldn't do a good job as a convener, so he barely became a group leader.He didn't expect to ask for a review, so he naturally placed the order.I had to take a shower with some intellectuals from the old society in the foreign language group.

He just didn't protest, saying that he had no property and was just sitting on the bench. Of course he had feudal ideas, but he couldn't hook up with the bourgeoisie. Even his son-in-law and daughter-in-law were the children of poor scholars.The young man told him: "As intellectuals, they are all bourgeois intellectuals." He seemed to have learned this, but he forgot why intellectuals are all bourgeois, but he didn't dare to mention it. He only asked: "You Do you want to take a bath or not?" They said, "Everyone needs to reform their minds, and Mr. Ding doesn't care about us. We will help Mr. Ding take a bath right now."

Mr. Ding was not inspired at first, and the crowd put him aside coldly.Later, when he saw other people's attitudes towards enlightenment, he also became enlightened, and hurriedly declared to the masses that he had corrected his attitude.After joining the team, he also learned from Zhu Qianli to classify the problems inspired by the masses into categories and summarize them as his own crimes.The group that helped him see through that he was playing with the technique of "packing it down", thought that he was not sincere in checking, and called him "cunning".Ding Baogui didn't know what to do.That day he listened to Du Lilin's self-criticism and the summary of the main demon, and he realized a truth: the key is not to protect yourself, but to pick out mistakes like an enemy, and scold him fiercely, the more fiercely you scold, the better.Picking one's own faults is "honesty", and scolding fiercely is "profound".He rushed to do a self-criticism.However, when Zhu Qianli reviewed his performance, he felt that it was dangerous to be honest, and he couldn't be too honest.Anyway, I can only say that I am not good, but I cannot offend the masses.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet until he could conduct a self-criticism.He first said that he had so many worries that he simply didn't have the guts. "It's like a group of daughters who asked her to take off her pants in public, so she had to hang herself. But gradually she became more enlightened. If you have a tail and you want a doctor to perform an operation, can you not take off your pants? You can't hide your tail in your life forever In your pants! When it’s time to get married, don’t you want to scare the groom away? We want to join the ranks of the people, just like a lady who wants to get married. Without a husband’s family, there is nowhere to go for life.”

His words sounded a bit weird, but he had a sad face, his eyes were terrified, and he was obviously very serious. Everyone waited patiently for him to continue. Ding Baogui stood in a daze for a long while, and said without thinking: "The kindness of the Communist Party is endless. Let's just say that I personally have experiences before and after liberation. In the past, as Mr. Zhu Qianli said, teaching Chinese required foreign brands. Although Ten years, decades of hard study, a lot of age, without a foreign degree, it is impossible to become a professor, except that you are a big celebrity. But after liberation, I became a researcher. This is equivalent to a professor, and I still have Are you not happy? I heard that in the future, no letter of appointment will be issued every year. Joining the ranks of the people will be like being hired as a daughter-in-law, and you will be depended on for life. Am I still not happy! We live on salary , I am often afraid of two things: one is fear of losing my job, and the other is fear of getting sick. Now I don’t have to worry about being unemployed, and the other is not worrying about getting sick. When I get sick, I don’t need to pay for a doctor or pay for a substitute teacher. We still don’t support it. Socialist!"

He paused for a while before he said, "I dare not say anything about my crimes. Damn me, I used to scold the Communist Party before—before liberation. But since I became a researcher here, not only did I not scold, I wholeheartedly I support the Communist Party. I originally thought that it was a thing of the past when I scolded the Communist Party; Review. However, I said it, and I was afraid of offending you. So let me say hello first, that is a thing of the past, I have changed it, and I admit that I am completely wrong. In the past, before liberation, I am here to major in Chinese studies As a consultant to the society. Mr. Yao Jian has the best fragrant tea. I come here every day to drink tea and chat, and yell at Comrade Ma Renzhi. Damn scolding, I scolded all the words in the corner of my stomach."

When he saw the crowd writing notes, he was too frightened to speak again.Someone urged him to continue, but he tremblingly agreed, but remained silent.Unable to withstand everyone’s urging, he cautiously greeted him again and said: “These are all stupid words, bastard words. I believed the reactionary rumors and scolded the Communist Party for inciting students to make trouble—this is all stupid words—I said, It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. Talents are the foundation of a country. Using naive students to cause trouble and not studying well is to shake the foundation of the country and ruin the young people. I don’t know that the riots are for the revolution, and the revolution is to save the country Now of course everyone understands this truth. But I was old, stupid, and stubborn. Well, at that time, Mr. Yao Jian persuaded me to go to the rear, and I told him, I am not like you, I have no property, I I have to support my family. I dragged such a big family with me. There are old ones and young ones at the bottom. I can’t move. I’m eating and drinking in college. Let’s wait and see. I always have a lump in my heart, afraid that people will scold me A traitor. I am very grateful to the Communist Party for speaking fairly and saying that everyone cannot be required to go to the rear. I am only teaching at a university, and I am not a traitor. Well, I feel at ease."

He then conducted a review according to Mr. Yuan's plan. "1. I don't study hard. I can't learn. I either dozed off or wandered off in my mind. I had to pretend to understand what I didn't know, echoing what others said, and being where I was." "2. Because I don't study, I can't change it well. My head is full of old thoughts. Needless to say, feudal thoughts have everything you need. There are also enough bourgeois thoughts. Although I am old-fashioned, I also admire foreign countries. I think it looks better than the soil. In addition, I listened to the reactionary propaganda, and I was terribly afraid of the Communist Party. Although I received the kindness of the party, I was still afraid. I was especially afraid of sports, such as organizing and mobilizing the masses. It's like driving a tank, and it must crush me to death. I'm afraid, just like I'm afraid of ghosts. You say there are no ghosts at all, but I'm still afraid. Now I'm honestly showing my fear, I hope Don't be afraid anymore."

"3. No sense of ownership. As the old saying goes: Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. But I am very practical—not very practical, I am—very lacking a sense of ownership. I think I have no responsibility! National affairs, and Have I discussed it? Who am I? I said: Meat eaters seek it out. For example, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, I secretly worried: Heck! We have fought for so many years, and the people are tired, so we can take a break. Now I just stood firm and fought again. Can I beat the Americans? Facts have proved that I don’t have to worry, the victory belongs to us. Now I have all my heart for the Communist Party. But I admit that I really don’t have a sense of ownership. I just ask myself to be good Citizens, respond to the party's call and obey the party's orders."

"4. Be cautious. I don't have high demands on myself. I don't seek meritorious service, but I seek no faults; I wrap myself up tightly, lest people see that I am not a good citizen. It is reluctance to respond to the party's call, and it is a last resort to obey the party's orders. .I am deluding myself by calling myself a good citizen." "In a word, I'm a typical example of a poor man." Ding Baogui sat down and looked around blankly.Like a person submerged in water, although his head is still above the water, his body is sinking straight down. The chairman asked, "Is it over?" Ding Baogui hurriedly stood up and said: "I only wrote these few items in my outline, and there are so many crimes that I can't count at the moment. Anyway, I admit my mistakes and promise to correct them. I am slow to realize, but slowly I will Come to your senses." The chairman said: "Mr. Ding's self-criticism, from the beginning to the end, showed a word of fear. This shows how far he is from the party and the people! He only thinks the Communist Party is terrible, and we only worry about it. What is the crime of scolding the Communist Party before liberation? The Communist Party cannot be scolded. After liberation, you changed your view of the Communist Party, which shows that you are not too stubborn. You also know that you are concerned about the country and the people, which shows that you are not completely without a sense of ownership. But you kept pleading guilty, It seems that he regards you as an enemy. Mr. Ding should correct this point. You should be closer to the party and the people. Don’t forget that the Communist Party is the party of the people, and you are the people of China. You put yourself on the opposite side of the people, so you have to Cautious, often trembling, as if you are facing a big enemy to the people, and to the movement, as if the party and the people are going to make things difficult for you. Mr. Ding, don't be afraid, the movement is to reform you, so that you can join the ranks of the people. We We welcome all those who are willing to join our ranks, unite all forces that can be united, work together, and contribute to the people." Not many people have opinions.Then everyone clapped their hands and passed Ding Baogui's review. Ding Baogui let go of a heart that was hanging in his chest, and was so happy that he almost shed tears.He seemed to have won the first prize and was hit by Miss Qianjin in the hydrangea ball. It was like a dream but not a dream, half awake, and he seemed to be floating all the way home.
