Chapter 8 Shi Jing-The chairman watched everyone leave

Zhou Enlai's wit: the chairman watched everyone leave On August 28, 1973, after the closing ceremony of the Tenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Chairman Mao Zedong was temporarily unable to stand due to his weak health.Zhou Enlai was quick to gain wisdom, and announced to the meeting that the delegates should go first, and the chairman watched everyone leave. Thirty years later, someone captioned the text of the photo: "Zhou Enlai's wit". In 1978, the first letter of guarantee for contracting production to households In December 1978, at Yan Lihua’s home in Xiaogang Village, 20 farmers including Yan Hongchang, Yan Fuchang, Yan Jiaqi, and Yan Guopin wrote a letter of guarantee for household contracting of production by handprints, etc. The head of the household signs and seals, and if he is capable in the future, each household guarantees to complete the annual handover and public grain of each household, and will not (again) ask the state for money and grain; Gan) heart, and our members also promise to support our children until they are 18 years old.”

Zhou Zuoren: I didn’t expect that I would be so downcast today that I would revise manuscripts for Xiao Xiao and his ilk After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhou Zuoren had no means of livelihood and could only translate for others. In 1952, he was entrusted by the publishing house to revise Gao Canghui's "Hakone Wind and Cloud Records" for Xiao Xiao.Later, Xiao Xiao told others with a smile that Zhou Zuoren once said with emotion: "I never thought that I would be so downcast today that I edited manuscripts for Xiao Xiao and his ilk." Zhang Guotao: I am just an audience now, I always hope to see less tragedies

In 1976, Mao Zedong passed away. Someone told Zhang Guotao the news. Zhang Chang sighed: "We are all passing away! Like Mao Zedong, I am a person who will die anyway, and death is only a matter of time." Zhang Guotao especially loved listening to Chinese in his later years. On the radio, he said: "On the Chinese stage, I used to be an actor, but now I am just a spectator. I always hope to see fewer tragedies." Inhumane deprivation of her right to express the truth in words After "A Report Written in Blood" was brought back to Beijing, Chen Yushan first handed it over to the department director Lu Yun for trial, and then the deputy editor-in-chief Yin Can and chief editor Yang Xiguang for trial. Cruel fascist crimes, and objections such as "it seems to expose the dictatorship of the proletariat and the leadership of the party, too bloody, and the influence is not good", the manuscript was finally sent to Hu Yaobang for review.According to Yang Xiguang, Hu Yaobang did not change a single word and was allowed to publish, but he said one sentence: delete the sentence about cutting the throat before execution.It is precisely this instruction that when "A Report Written in Blood" appeared in the newspaper, the words directly expressing the throat-cutting were erased.But after the article was published, many readers called to ask what it meant to "knock her to the ground and inhumanely deprive her of the right to express the truth in words".Chen Yushan and Wu Litian, the director of the editorial department, had no choice but to tell the readers truthfully that they had cut their throats.After hearing this, a reader choked up on the phone and said: "Mr. Lu Xun's article "Remembrance of Mr. Liu Hezhen" wrote when talking about a comrade-in-arms of Mr. Liu Hezhen who was murdered: This is not only killing, it is simply killing, because the body is still there. There are stick scars. In the past, people who had stick scars and were shot to death were called massacres. Now we cut off the trachea and execute them. What is this called killing? If Lu Xun was alive, would he hide it? How would he write it?"
