Chapter 61 Mao Zedong sharply criticized the "Zhang Luo alliance"

Although July 1st was later found out by CCP history experts to be not the opening day of the CCP’s First National Congress, since 1941, the Chinese Communist Party has been commemorating its own birthday on the first day of July.So far, the CCP still regards July 1st as the party's birthday.Every July 1st, the theme of the CCP newspaper is to commemorate the party's birthday. July 1, 1957, was different.Although the "People's Daily" on this day also published an article commemorating "July 1" like Ma Xulun's "Long Live the Communist Party of China", the long editorial "Wen Wei Po's bourgeois direction should be criticized" on the front page has nothing to do with commemorating the party's birthday. irrelevant.

This "People's Daily" editorial is obviously a continuation of the article "The Bourgeois Orientation of Wen Wei Po in a Time Period" published by the "Editorial Department of this Newspaper" in "People's Daily" on June 14.Both articles were written by Mao Zedong. The article "Wen Wei Po's bourgeois direction should be criticized" was included in the fifth volume of "Selected Works of Mao Zedong", so now everyone knows that it was written by Mao Zedong.However, "Wen Wei Po's Bourgeois Direction in a Time Period" was not included in the fifth volume of "Selected Works of Mao Zedong", and many people mistakenly thought that it was not written by Mao Zedong.In fact, as early as 1960 when the fourth volume of "Selected Works of Mao Zedong" was compiled, the fifth volume of "Selected Works of Mao Zedong" was compiled at the same time.The first edited edition contained the article "Wen Wei Po's Bourgeois Orientation in a Time Period".In April 1977, when the fifth volume of "Selected Works of Mao Zedong" was published, the "Gang of Four" had just been smashed, and "Wen Wei Po's bourgeois direction in a period of time" was written with Yao Wenyuan's article as the "starter". It was obviously out of date, so it was deleted.

Mao Zedong's editorial "Wen Wei Po's bourgeois orientation should be criticized" published by "People's Daily" on July 1 is Mao Zedong's extremely important document on "anti-rightists", and its importance is even no less than that of "Things are going on Changes". If it is said that Mao Zedong decided to carry out the "anti-rightist movement" in "Things Are Changing", then "Wen Wei Po's bourgeois direction should be criticized" set the focus of the "anti-rightist movement" on the "Zhang Luo League".

At the beginning of the editorial, Mao Zedong praised Guangming Daily and criticized Wen Wei Po.Mao Zedong wrote: Since the editorial department of this newspaper published "Wen Wei Po's Bourgeois Orientation in a Time Period" on June 14, Wen Wei Po and Guangming Daily have reviewed this issue. The staff of Guangming Daily held several meetings and seriously criticized the wrong direction of the president Zhang Bojun and editor-in-chief Chu Anping. This kind of criticism was clear, and the position was basically reversed. Zhang Bojun and Chu Anping were anti-communist, anti-people and anti-socialist The bourgeois line turned to the revolutionary socialist line.As a result, readers' confidence has been restored, like a socialist newspaper.What is a little lacking is the arrangement skills...

Wen Wei Po wrote a review article, which seems to have changed its direction, and wrote a lot of news and articles reflecting a positive line. Of course, these are good.But it's still not enough.It's like singing, some actors look like villains, but they don't always look like decent characters, they're pretentious and unnatural.It's also hard.Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. There is no room for reconciliation on the issue of the route.Mao Zedong then pointed out the key point of "Wen Wei Po": What is more serious is the editorial department of Wen Wei Po. This editorial department was in command during the period when the newspaper was in the direction of the bourgeoisie.There are handsome and handsome, those who attack say yes, those who argue say no, and they name and name, saying that it is Luo Longji in the Zhangluo League.Between the two commanders, there is another commander, Pu Xixiu, the head of Wen Wei Po's Beijing office, who is a capable female general.People say: Luo Longji-Pu Xixiu-Wen Wei Po editorial department is such a rightist system of the Democratic League of Wen Wei Po.

Mao Zedong sharply criticized the "Zhangluo Alliance": The Democratic League played a particularly bad role in the process of contention among a hundred schools of thought and the rectification process.Organization, planning, program, and line are all external to the people, and they are anti-communist and anti-socialist.And the Peasants and Workers Democratic Party, exactly the same.These two parties are particularly prominent in this stormy sea.The storm was created by the Zhangluo Alliance.Other parties are also creating, and some people are also very bad.But the number of people is small, and the system is not obvious.As far as the members of the Democratic League and the Peasants and Workers are concerned, they are neither all nor the majority.Calling the wind and calling the rain, pushing the waves, or planning in the secret room, or igniting the fire at the grassroots level, connecting up and down, echoing from all directions, taking the chaos of the world, replacing it, gradually implementing it, and eventually achieving a great cause as the current situation estimation and ultimate goal, there are only a small number of people. , are the so-called bourgeois rightists.Some people are sober, most are blinded, and a few are right-wing backbones.Because they are the backbone of the right wing, although their number is small, their supernatural powers are quite large.Throughout the spring, black clouds suddenly turned in the sky in China, the source of which was the Zhangluo League.

Mao Zedong expounded on the concept of the bourgeois right: Now back to the name "bourgeois right".The bourgeois rightists are the aforementioned bourgeois reactionaries who are anti-Communist, anti-people, and anti-socialist. This is a scientific explanation in line with the actual situation.This is a small group of people, including the democratic parties, intellectuals, capitalists, and young students, as well as the Communist Party and the Youth League, and they have manifested themselves in this storm.They are very small in number, but they are powerful in the democratic parties, especially in a few democratic parties, and should not be underestimated.Such people not only speak but also act. They are guilty, and "the speaker is not guilty" does not apply to them.They are not only talkers, but also doers.Is there a crime to be punished?Now it seems that you don't have to.Because the people's country is very strong, and many of them are some big names.Can be lenient and not punished.Generally, it is enough to call them "rightists".It doesn't have to be called a reactionary.

Mao Zedong's article "Wen Wei Po's Bourgeois Orientation Should Be Criticized" was published in the name of an editorial in the People's Daily, and it shocked the whole country by no means less than the People's Daily editorial on June 8, "Why is this? ? ". If you say, "Why is this?" "was the mobilization call for the "Anti-Rightist Movement", and "Wen Wei Po's Bourgeois Direction Should Be Criticized" pointed out the general target of the "Anti-Rightist Movement" - the "Zhangluo League". Immediately, Zhang Bojun and Luo Longji fell into the situation of being "accused by thousands of people".
