Chapter 44 Mao Zedong believed that Marxism cannot be lacked, nor can it be too much.

Careful people may find that the criticism of Wang Ming escalated in 1943. This was largely caused by Wang Ming's double-faced and double-faced approach. After Wang Ming lay in the Central Hospital on October 13, 1941, leaders of the Communist Party of China came to visit him one after another.For Mao Zedong, Ren Bishi, etc., Wang Ming said that he expressed his willingness to accept criticism and sincerely review.As for Wang Jiaxiang, Bogu, Zhang Wentian, Zhou Enlai, and Liu Shaoqi, who had just returned from other places at the end of 1942, Wang Ming always complained, or publicized that his two-sided war was impossible to fight, and how to contain each other and how to concentrate on fighting Japan to aid the Soviet Union. .For the Russians in Yan'an, he provoked and incited whenever he had the opportunity, and at the same time asked Moscow for further instructions.

For example, when he met Wang Jiaxiang, he said: "Mao Zedong is too powerful, he must be punished, and now we are punished. You have opposed him in the past, so you can't run away." Seeing Zhou Enlai, he said: The rectification movement is just beginning now, and you and I made the same mistakes, and the rectification will definitely be on your head. When Bogu came, he said: This time it’s for you and me, but don’t worry, I know the way over there (referring to Moscow), ask questions first, and then there will be articles. After seeing Zhang Wentian, he provocatively said: This time it is mainly for the comrades who came back from Moscow, especially for you, because Manujski said that you are a theoretician of our party, Mao Zedong lost his temper when he heard this, so Start against you, you have more dogma than I do.I myself just broke Mao Zedong's taboo because I was too ignorant of the world and said anything casually.

Zhang Wentian replied at the time: "We did make many mistakes in the past, and we should reflect on them." On March 27, Zhang Wentian said in "Return from Departure": "A person has no 'self-knowledge'. Once he knows himself, he will put himself in a proper position and try his best to work hard." He wrote this out of emotion, reflecting the open-mindedness of a communist.Although he made mistakes, he did not indulge in the past. Instead, he had the courage to dissect himself, pursue the truth wholeheartedly, and was finally reborn in the flames of revolution.

Mao Zedong didn't understand Wang Ming's double-faced tactics at first.However, in early 1943, after Mao Zedong learned of Wang Ming's conspiracy and conspiracy, Mao Zedong gradually realized that Wang Ming was the chief culprit of subjectivism, dogmatism, and sectarianism in the party, and he did not thoroughly criticize Wang Ming. , dogmatism and sectarianism may also revive.Previously, Mao Zedong believed that Wang Ming only made many principled mistakes in political organization, and that Bogu and others should be mainly responsible for the "Left" mistakes during 1931-1935.

Another reason is that in May of this year, in order to meet the needs of the anti-fascist war, and in consideration of the complexity of the struggles in various countries and the need for the Communist Party of each country to deal with the problems faced independently, it made the "Decision on Proposing the Dissolution of the Comintern" . On June 10, the Communist International was officially dissolved.This created favorable conditions for Yan'an to further liquidate dogmatic mistakes. From Mao Zedong’s notes criticizing the “Left” leaning central government in 1943, it can be seen that he already regarded Wang Ming as the number one culprit of the “Left” leaning line, and also attributed Wang Ming’s mistakes in the early days of the War of Resistance to the “Right leaning opportunism” "Surrender Route".

The note reads: For the "Left" opportunist line formed in 1931, Wang Ming was the founder and supporter, while Bo Gu, Luo Fu and others were the developers and implementers. It has been less than 9 months since Wang Ming opposed the Lisan line to seize the central power, and he resumed the Lisan line. It can be seen that his opposition to the Lisan line is false, but in the name of opposing the Lisan line, he is actually seizing party power. . This note "joy, laughter, anger, and scolding are vividly written on the paper, with a strong emotional color": 2 I often feel that with something like Marxism, it is impossible to have too little or too much.Since the emergence of such a group of gentlemen who specialized in selling Marxism in China, the Communist Party has become a mess. The Communist Party in the white areas has made a mess of it, and the Soviet area and the Red Army have lost more than 90% of it...all of them are eating It has suffered too much from Marxism.

This group of people proclaimed themselves "Marxist theorists". They sold piles of Marxism at home, decorated it beautifully, and boasted and sold it. ......It wasn't until the diorama was pierced by someone that it was discovered that its treasures were full of fake Marx, dead Marx, or stinky Marx, not even half of the real Marx, live Marx, or fragrant Marx, but the deceived people no longer knew There are tens of thousands, and it can be said to be miserable! Our master is the most pitiful little bug. He knows nothing about anything in the world. He only knows how to move Marx, Lenin, Stalin, and the Communist International...On February 26, 1944, Zhou Enlai talked to Wang Ming and systematically pointed out his Questions that should be reflected on, I hope he will seriously check his mistakes.

The next day, Wang Ming wrote to Zhou Enlai, asking Zhou to explain two points: "(1) Why are the resolutions of the Fourth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the resolutions of September 20 wrong? What are their specific contents? "(2) Since it is assumed that the line is wrong, why is this the so-called Wang Ming line? Because I was not the drafter of important resolutions during this period... At the same time, I was not the main person in charge of the party during this period." If there are mistakes and shortcomings , he only "should bear the responsibility that a member of the Politburo should bear."

Zhou Enlai sighed: "He still understands the problem from the perspective of personal interests." In the spring of 1945, the banks of the Yanhe River were covered with green grass, the mountains and slopes of Yan'an were full of flowers, and the people of Yan'an were also beaming. The leaders of the Communist Party were preparing to hold the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China. New China, and strive to build an independent, free, democratic, unified, prosperous and strong new China."But Wang Ming, who lives in Yangjialing, is depressed.One of his five masterpieces "Yan'an Chunxing" reflects his state of mind at this time:

The grass on the bank of the Yanhe River is green, and the flowers of Jialing Mountain are red. The spring is still empty, and people feel different. In order to solve the historical problems of the CCP before the Seventh National Congress, on March 31, at the Seventh Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China requested that "use good reasons and attitudes" to carefully do ideological work with representatives and cadres who made mistakes , to promote party unity. On the one hand, Mao Zedong and Ren Bishi in Zaoyuan, northwest of Yan'an City, convened a symposium to listen to opinions on the draft "Resolution on Certain Historical Issues" and continued to revise the draft resolution; Opinions, I hope he can express his attitude to the representatives.Ren Bishi, Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De, and Zhou Enlai went to Wang Ming's residence in Yangjialing to talk twice, and Wang Ming's attitude gradually changed.

"Resolution Concerning Certain Historical Issues" On April 20, the same day that the "Resolution Concerning Certain Historical Issues" was discussed and passed at the Seventh Plenary Session of the enlarged Sixth Central Committee of the CPC Central Committee, Ren Bishi received a long letter from Wang Ming, requesting He read Mao Zedong's expanded Seventh Plenary Session comrades.In the letter, he stated: "The Seventh Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, based on Comrade Mao Zedong's correct thinking and correct line, as well as the understanding of all comrades in the party in recent years in the rectification movement and the study of party history, made various criticisms, especially the third 'Left'. Totally agree with and support the analysis and estimation of the content, essence and serious harm of the serious mistakes made by the leaning line in politics, organization and ideology, as well as the social and historical root causes of such mistakes. From a political point of view, I fully obey this resolution."And admitted that "many opinions on the Chinese revolutionary movement at that time put forward in the pamphlet (that is, "Two Lines") "come from plagiarizing various resolutions."In the end, he believed that in view of his mistakes, "the central government should immediately revoke all his leadership positions in the party", and he "should do the work of the lower-level masses closest to the masses", learn everything from scratch, "make himself a good leader in the party, Useful members of the party". This is the most comprehensive and systematic inspection of Wang Ming's mistakes since the rectification movement, and his attitude seems to be very sincere.Ren Bishi who received the letter was very happy, and said at the meeting: "We welcome his attitude and hope that he will realize it in his future actions and make continuous progress." Mao Zedong also said in his speech: This letter can still be studied to see if there are any shortcomings or mistakes in the content, but the attitude is good and should be welcomed. But the facts proved that Wang Ming's vowed confession was just a blank check. He deceived Mao Zedong, Ren Bishi and others. In the book "Fifty Years of the Communist Party of China" written by Wang Ming 30 years later, he said that this review was forced, considering that the Communist International had been disbanded and there was no organization to appeal to. If he rejected the resolution of the Seventh Plenum , will be expelled from the party, "then it will be more difficult to fight." "Based on this situation, I declare to the Seventh Plenary Session that I obey the decision of the Central Committee." After arguing for a long time, his acknowledgment of his mistake turned out to be just a hidden tactic for him to wait for the opportunity to reverse the case and counterattack. In the article, he desperately attacked the rectification movement, saying that "Mao Zedong pursued the rectification movement only for the purpose of personal selfishness, and he acted as an extremely selfish careerist and narrow-minded nationalist."
