Chapter 55 Chen Xingui called "People's Daily" the "boss of Shengxifu hat shop"

The "Rightists" are not an organized and programmatic team.They just put forward their opinions to the CCP sporadically and freely.They are nothing more than a group of rangers. Because of this, the "rightists" are vulnerable to the iron fist of counterattacking the "rightists". However, at the beginning of the "anti-rightists", the "rightists" did not understand "why is this"?Out of ignorance, they raised objections. Among them, the most prominent ones are Chen Xingui and Zhang Naiqi. On November 24, 1986, the author interviewed Mr. Chen Xingui, who survived the catastrophe, in Beijing.He passed away shortly after I had a long taped conversation with him.

Chen Xingui is an outspoken democrat.His status in the China Democratic League is not high, and he is an alternate member of the Central Committee.However, he was attacked in 1957 because of his uprightness. Luo Longji once said to Chu Anping about Chen Xingui: "Chen is very straightforward, he speaks up when he has something to say, he doesn't care about other people's face, he can't get off the stage." On June 8, the "People's Daily" published "Why is this?" After that, China's political situation changed drastically. Chen Xingui actually spoke twice at the China Democratic League Central Group Meeting held on the evening of June 10, sharply criticizing the People's Daily as "the boss of Shengxifu Hat Shop"!

As we all know, Shengxifu is the hat shop with the longest history and the most prestigious reputation in China.Chen Xingui compared People's Daily to a "hat company"! "People's Daily" quickly published Chen Xingui's speech on the next day under the title "Notable Trends of the Democratic League". ! The People's Daily reports: In his speech, Chen Xingui criticized the People's Daily twice.When he spoke for the first time, he said at the beginning: I spoke for 20 minutes at the symposium last time, and the "People's Daily" did not publish my speech at all, but later it published a full page of counter-criticism against me. fair. (Editor's note: The NLD did not notify this newspaper to participate in the symposium Chen Xingui mentioned.) He asked the People's Daily to publish all of his speeches.He also said that the rectification campaign is underway to oppose sectarianism, and the People's Daily will not commit sectarianism in this matter.

Before the meeting ended, Chen Xingui once again criticized the "People's Daily"... He described the counter-criticism of the anti-Communist and anti-socialist remarks in the newspaper these days as hats flying all over the sky.He said that the newspaper should not be the owner of Shengxifu hat shop.He also said passionately: "To be honest, if you are a counter-revolutionary, you will never say what the newspaper thinks is wrong; he will definitely say how great the achievements of the Communist Party are." Chen Xingui also said: He fully agrees with what Chu Anping said that the Communist Party's "party world" ideology is the root of all sectarianism.

The dictatorship of the proletariat is in fact the dictatorship of the Communist Party.In this way, when the Communist Party implements policies and exercises leadership over the country, it must first trust the Communist Party members, then trust the Youth League members, and then trust those who are close to the Party.Under such circumstances, it is unthinkable that sectarianism, subjectivism and bureaucratism would not arise, and it would be hard to imagine that a "party world" would not be formed. Just when Chen Xingui called People's Daily "the boss of Shengxifu Hat Shop", Zhang Naiqi also said, "There are too many big hats!"

Zhang Naiqi's personality is as straightforward as Chen Xingui's, so he is very ignorant of "current affairs".On June 9, he actually wrote "several opinions" after "reading the report on the symposium for business people held by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on June 6 and June 8"! Zhang Naiqi's "Several Opinions" also became the "Negative Textbook" that People's Daily wanted, and it was published on June 10 under the title "Zhang Naiqi Disagree with His Criticism". Zhang Naiqi said: I feel that "resisting transformation", "leaving socialism", "leaving the party's leadership"...these kind of big hats are a little too much.This will make people in the business circles who have not yet dared to speak out more worried.In fact, even for Comrade Li Kangnian, who has received the most criticism, the intention of his proposal is still to eliminate the bourgeoisie early and remove the bourgeois hat; then there is no reason to say that he is leaving socialism, but that he is Pursuing socialism too hastily and wanting to take off the hat without asking whether the conditions are ripe...

When helping the party to carry out rectification, as long as it is based on the facts and proceeds from the desire for unity, it is absolutely not necessary to mention the advantages, but only the shortcomings. This is normal; It is even more normal to speak honestly and "straight to the point".None of this can be called "divorce from socialism" or "divorce from leadership". Zhang Naiqi also criticized Wu Dakun: Comrade Wu Dakun also said: "Comrade Zhang Naiqi said that after 'passing the five hurdles', there will be a final hurdle of 'rebirth' and 'cramping and skinning'."This is either lying with eyes open, or forgetfulness.Whether Comrade Wu Dakun's debating style is upright or not is worth considering.

In addition, there are some "criticisms" like invective, which I don't think are worth arguing.
