Chapter 43 Uncover the Mystery of Yan'an Medical Incident

During Wang Ming's illness, there was a "poisoning" incident. In the book "Fifty Years of the Communist Party of China", he said: "From April 4, 1941, I ate at least one meal at his (referring to Mao Zedong) every day. On the 8th, my stomach became dizzy due to massive bleeding Extremely abnormal, with severe dizziness and weak heart. The doctor diagnosed that the symptoms were very similar to poisoning. On the 9th, my condition was already very serious,... on the 10th, I fell down and couldn’t get up.” He also said that he After he fell ill, Mao Zedong forced him to be hospitalized, and then through Li Fuchun instructed the attending doctor Jin Maoyue to poison him with mercury-containing drugs. After the conspiracy was revealed, Jin Maoyue knelt down in front of him and wept bitterly.

However, when the Central Archives of the Communist Party of China sent people to visit the old man Jin Maoyue, Dr. Jin said that Wang Ming's worsening condition was completely a "technical accident".Wang Ming was suffering from heart disease at the time, accompanied by constipation and catarrhal jaundice. The traditional method at that time was to use calomel plus intravenous glucose.After two weeks of treatment, Wang Ming's condition improved, and Jin informed the nurse to stop taking calomel for Wang Ming. As a result, he only notified the nurses on the day shift, but not the nurses on the night shift, which made Wang Ming take medication for a long time, which made his condition worse and lead to mercury poisoning.At the suggestion of Li Fuchun, Mr. Li Dingming was invited to prescribe a few doses of traditional Chinese medicine, and he started to get better after taking it.

When the 80-year-old Jin Maoyue heard that Wang Ming used the poisoning incident in the book to insist that Mao Zedong was instigating, he cursed: "Wang Ming is farting! You bastard! It's okay!" "At that time, Wang Ming was a dogmatist. I have no idea!" Since the rectification movement, it has mainly opposed the subjectivism and dogmatism of "words must be called Greece", and there is no idea of ​​punishing individuals. In Mao Zedong's words, "Down with the two doctrines and keep people behind."On July 31, the Politburo meeting also decided to appoint Wang Ming to succeed Ren Bishi in charge of the Northwest Bureau and the Border Region.When Wang Ming fought Mao Zedong with the telegram from the Communist International, he was unanimously opposed by the participants.Moreover, when Wang Jiaxiang and Ren Bishi introduced various criticisms of Wang Ming's personal qualities by the leaders of the Communist International at the secretariat meeting, Mao Zedong also clearly proposed not to spread them, including at the Politburo meeting.This shows that Mao Zedong did not have the idea of ​​making Wang Ming bad, and beating him to death with a stick.

It seems completely unnecessary for Mao Zedong to poison food and order doctors to use drugs to poison a political opponent who is already completely at a disadvantage. Moreover, according to a letter written by Wang Ming's wife, Meng Qingshu, to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China during Wang Ming's illness, she expressed "100,000 sincere thanks" to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Mao Zedong for their concern for Wang Ming.She wrote: "I declare that, first, I have never been dissatisfied with the Central Committee and the Party; second, I have never been dissatisfied with everything and I have always been dissatisfied. On the contrary, I sometimes feel that the Party has spent a lot of money for Comrade Wang Ming's illness. Especially in terms of life, I will give you what you want, as long as you have it in Yan'an. Moreover, Comrade Fuchun often goes to Chongqing, Xi'an and other places to buy medicine and things for Wang Ming. Comrade Wang Ming has never even complained about these things— - In terms of treatment." Then he said: "In the past, without the care of Chairman Mao and the comrades of the Central Committee, Comrade Wang Ming would have passed away. In the future, with the help of the leadership of Chairman Mao and the comrades of the Central Committee, we will correct it in practical work His mistake."

However, Wang Ming, who was ill, did not reflect on himself, and still insisted on his sectarian style of pulling mountains, which made Mao Zedong determined to criticize Wang Ming thoroughly.
