Chapter 99 Section VII

Thirty-eight years after the fall of the Republic of China, Chinese history began a new page.Chiang Kai-shek, the old enemy who hated Long Yun, collapsed, and Long Yun seemed to have been reborn. The 66-year-old man gave up his opium addiction for decades with great perseverance, and was eagerly looking forward to going north to Beijing, the new capital of China. He met with the leaders of the Communist Party of China whom he had revered for a long time. On January 3, 1950, Long Yun set off from Hong Kong and arrived in Guangzhou on the same day. Ye Jianying, his old classmate when he was studying in the Yunnan Army Lecture Hall, warmly welcomed him; Arrive in Beijing by private car.

From then on, Long Yun started a new life in Beijing.He has successively served as a member of the Central People's Government, vice-chairman of the National Defense Commission, vice-chairman of the Southwest Military and Political Committee, member of the Standing Committee of the first National People's Congress, member of the Standing Committee of the second and third National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, member of the Standing Committee and vice-chairman of the Central Committee of the Chinese Revolutionary Revolution. The time when Long Yun was in a good mood was not too long.By 1957, "Speaking out and letting go" began. Long Yun, who had already had something to say, did not discuss with Lu Han and Zhang Chong, and made a big splash in the Yunnan group of the Fourth National People's Congress of the first session.He spoke sharply and pointed out three problems: the Soviet Union bullied China too much;

These words brought him disaster again.Long Yun was subjected to outrageous criticism, and big hats such as "stirring up friendly relations between China and the Soviet Union" and "stirring ethnic minorities to oppose the party" were suppressed one after another; accusations such as "Emperor of the Earth", "Family of the World", and "trafficking in opium" were repeated in the criticism use. This year, he was classified as a "rightist". On June 27, 1962, 78-year-old Long Yun died of illness in Beijing, marking the curtain call of a generation of legends.Xinhua News Agency postponed the release of his obituary for two days at home and abroad, in order to announce that he would be removed as a "rightist" at the same time as the obituary was released.
