Chapter 57 The initial counterattack target - Chu Anping

Even Zhang Bojun was only "used by the rightists", so who are the "rightists"? Zhang Bojun pointed out in his editorial "We Must Take the Road to Socialism" published in Guangming Daily on June 12 as the editor-in-chief of Guangming Daily: "Chu Anping's anti-Party and anti-socialist erroneous remarks do not represent Guangming Daily in the slightest. His theory of the party world is completely contrary to the position of Guangming Daily." Although on June 8, Zhang Bojun privately said that Chu Anping would become a "historical figure", but now in public, he can only play on the spot and criticize Chu Anping as a "rightist".

At the beginning of the "anti-rightists", it was not known who the "rightists" were, but the first "rightist" in people's minds was Ge Peiqi, and the second was Chu Anping. Because of this, Wu Han criticized Zhang Bojun, Luo Longji, and Chu Anping at the same time in his speech to the "People's Daily" reporter on June 10, but he criticized Chu Anping the most, saying that "Chu Anping's 'Party World' ' is a vicious slander". On June 14, "People's Daily" published Mao Zedong's "Wen Wei Po's Bourgeois Direction in a Time Period" in the name of "the editorial department of this newspaper", criticizing "Wen Wei Po" and "Guangming Daily".This of course greatly strengthened the firepower of criticism against Chu Anping, the former editor-in-chief of Guangming Daily.

On June 14, "People's Daily" also published Hu Qiaomu's "Is it a matter of position?" published in the name of "People's Daily Editorial". 》, pointing out that those "rightists who resolutely oppose socialism" are "showing their true colors." Also on June 14th, "People's Daily" published Shi Liang's speech, criticizing Zhang Bojun's "criticism of Chu Anping, I think it is not enough, it is vague and ambiguous."Although Shi Liang criticized Zhang Bojun, when he mentioned Zhang Bojun, he always called him "Bojun", and his tone was still friendly.

Shi Liang had a completely different tone for Chu Anping: "As one of the leaders of the Democratic League, I want to publicly declare that Chu Anping's entire speech is completely anti-communist, anti-people, and anti-socialism." The "People's Daily" on June 14 also reported Qian Jiaju's speech.Qian Jiaju also criticized Chu Anping, explicitly calling him a "rightist": Qian Jiaju criticized a small number of rightists for fishing in troubled waters during the rectification movement, under the guise of the rectification movement to be anti-socialist and anti-communist.He said, why criticize Chu Anping's erroneous ideas?Because he is representative, he represents some people who want to "earn a fortune" in the rectification movement, and there are many people in the NLD who support him.

In the face of fierce criticism, what attitude does Chu Anping, who has resigned as the editor-in-chief of Guangming Daily, take? Yuan Hanqing, a historian of chemistry (later labeled as a "rightist") made the following revelations at a symposium held by the Jiusan Society on June 14: On June 9th, I went to Chu Anping and asked him why he hadn’t consulted with the members of the Jiusan Society before speaking at the United Front Work Department’s symposium, and criticized him for saying that the “party under heaven” was wrong.He said: Prepare for review. I asked him: how to review?

He said: I don't know that there is a limit to "telling everything without knowing it". If you know it, you don't say it. Obviously, Chu Anping played a "curve ball" there. However, in the powerful wave of criticism, it seems a foregone conclusion that Chu Anping is a "rightist". At this time, Taiwanese newspapers praised Chu Anping as "conscientious and passionate" and "does have a hand." The face is more "clear".
