Chapter 72 Zhang Bojun "bowed his head and pleaded guilty" and Chu Anping "surrendered"

Under the powerful "anti-rightist" offensive, the first and fourth National People's Congress became a meeting for "rightists" to review. One after another, leading figures of the "rightist" boarded the podium of the National People's Congress, called "representative speeches", which were actually confessions and inspections. For a while, the platform of the National People's Congress became a "singing scene" where "rightists" chanted "It was my fault". Zhang Bojun, as China's number one "rightist", sang "It's My Fault".On July 15, he delivered a speech entitled "Bow Your Head and Plead Guilt to the People" at the National People's Congress.

Zhang Bojun admitted that he was a "sinner": Today I am a sinner who has made serious mistakes in politics, and I can obtain the clemency of all the representatives to stand in front of you and allow me to use a few minutes to express my acknowledgment of my mistakes, bow my head and confess my guilt, and make the greatest determination to work hard to reform myself Attitude.Premier Zhou once instructed in his government work report that as long as "the rightists are able to repent and accept reform through the promotion of external forces, life experience and their own awareness, the door to socialist reform is open to them." The reprimands and exposures made by representatives at the next day’s general meeting and various group meetings, especially the Anwei group representative meeting, exposed my ugly, absurd words and deeds. I express my heartfelt acceptance and gratitude.Since the people of the whole country raised my serious wrong words and deeds, the enemies of our country, such as the imperialists, the Chiang gang members in Taiwan, and a small number of counter-revolutionaries lurking in the country, are happily using the reactionary words and deeds of rightists like us as propaganda tools , trying to undermine the prestige of our great motherland, this makes me feel extremely sad, and feel that my crime has become more serious. "My loved ones are sad, and my enemies are happy." Therefore, I deeply feel that the accusations and exposure of me by the people and all representatives of the whole country are just to rescue me, not to let me sink completely, but to give me a chance to regenerate. Here, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the people of the whole country and representatives! ①

Next, Zhang Bojun "digged" his "historical roots".This kind of "root-digging" inspection is common in that year: My erroneous thoughts and crimes have historical roots, reactionary class nature and consistency.I was born in the landlord class, and I have been educated by feudalism (Tongcheng school) and bourgeoisie for a long time.After I betrayed the glorious Chinese Communist Party in 1927, I degenerated into a leading member of the middle line of "three points against the Communist Party and seven points against Chiang Kai-shek." Military speculation is to act when the opportunity is encountered, and to stop when there is no opportunity.This kind of Right opportunist opportunistic ideology was preserved until after the great revolutionary victory of the Chinese people.On July 1, 1951, which coincided with the 30th anniversary of the birth of the glorious, great, and correct Communist Party of China, although I published the article "The Communist Party Taught Me Self-Criticism", I expressed my regret , but I still haven't dug out the root of bad thoughts, so my position is not stable, I am "left" and "right", sometimes cold and hot, and I often show a double-dealing style. Accepted on the surface, but there is a distance in reality.After the Twentieth Congress of the CPSU criticized Stalin's cult of personality in 1956, this dormant bad idea resurfaced.I have an excessively vicious criticism of Stalin, sometimes underestimate the achievements of the Soviet Union's great socialist construction, and sometimes emphasize its shortcomings.And because of the influence of anti-dogmatism, they even underestimated the basic principles of Marxism-Leninism and never studied them seriously. This formed the so-called revisionist thinking of anti-Marxism-Leninism.This new bad idea is in the same strain as my past right-leaning opportunist thought.Its danger is the danger of serving the bourgeoisie. As Chairman Mao pointed out, it "opposes or attempts to weaken socialist transformation and socialist construction". ①

Zhang Bojun finally expressed his "determination" to "make amends": Judging from the above-mentioned erroneous facts, in the past year or so, my political thinking has degenerated to such a shameful and terrible stage. I am carried away by my own complacency, and my personal political ambitions are increasing day by day.I tried to put my own reactionary political views, using my job status, through various methods, such as formal meetings, symposiums and private talks, and the relationship between two democratic parties and a "Guangming Daily" propaganda agency, To gradually expand the influence, spread the poison, in order to realize it.And all these erroneous remarks and actions show that I stand on the reactionary stand of the bourgeois right to deny the most basic system of our country, deny the dictatorship of the proletariat, deny democratic centralism, and deny the leadership of the party. The people are anti-socialist.I cannot escape responsibility for this grave crime.I would like to plead guilty to the people of the whole country, to the party and the government.

At present, the people of the whole country demand that I, a rightist, be severely punished. This is a matter of course, and I am willing to accept it.I hate my own ugliness, and I want to completely smash the old reactionary me, and I will not let him revive. I want to join the people of the whole country in the serious struggle against the rightists, including my own struggle.The great Chinese Communist Party saved me in the past, and today the Party has taught me again. I hope that under the leadership and education of the Party and Chairman Mao, I can gain a new life, so that I can return to the position of loving the Party, loving the country, and loving socialism. Make up your mind and serve socialism wholeheartedly.

Fellow deputies, this review is just a review of bowing your head and pleading guilty, not comprehensive enough or deep enough.All issues that must be explained will continue to be thoroughly explained to the relevant units.Finally, I hope that all representatives will continue to expose and criticize my erroneous words and deeds. ① Zhang Bojun checked, and Chu Anping also sang "It's my fault".Zhang Bojun called "Bow to the People and Plead Guilty", while the title of Chu Anping's inspection was "Surrender to the People". On July 13th, at the beginning of Chu Anping's speech, he said that he "bowed his head and pleaded guilty":

My speech at the symposium of the United Front Work Department on June 1 and my work in Guangming Daily all made serious mistakes of anti-Party and anti-socialism.After being criticized by the people of the whole country, I now realize my mistakes and sincerely bow my head and confess to the people of the whole country. ② Then, Chu Anping stated that the "Party World" was "absolutely wrong" and admitted that he was "anti-Party and anti-socialism": My statement about the "party world" is absolutely wrong.First of all, I said that today is a situation where the party is all in one family, which is completely inconsistent with the facts.After liberation, the people turned themselves into masters under the leadership of the party.Today's world is ruled by the people, and great people's power is flourishing everywhere.The party leads the people, educates the people, and unites the people with a sincere and selfless spirit.As far as the people's congress system we are implementing now is concerned, this people's congress, which has become the national and local power organ at all levels, is a political organization with the broadest democratic foundation.Political Consultative Conferences across the country and around the country are the best embodiment of the Party's united front policy of uniting non-Party people.Whether in government agencies, schools, factories or people's organizations, there are a large number of non-Party people who are responsible for the main leadership positions.The party strives to unite all the forces that can be united, consults with people outside the party in case of problems, and solicits everyone's opinions.From my own experience, in the summer of 1954, I had all the air tickets to Xinjiang booked, but because of the need to negotiate the list of deputies to the National People’s Congress, the government wanted me to temporarily cancel the air ticket, and leave Beijing after the negotiation was completed. , This shows how much the party attaches importance to and seriousness in uniting people outside the party.However, in my speech at the symposium of the United Front Work Department, I insisted that "No matter how big or small, party members must nod their heads to count." When I said this, just like the comrades of the workers criticized me, I was talking nonsense with my eyes open, confusing right and wrong, Blur the understanding of some people, sow discord between the party and the people.Second, our constitution affirms the leadership of the party in the country's political life.The party's policies and guidelines must first be implemented by party members.The party's appointment of party members to work in various places and departments is a necessary measure for the party to implement the party's policies and fulfill the party's historical mission to the country and the people.Facts tell us that where there is no party leadership (through party members), the party's policies cannot be implemented correctly, and mistakes are prone to occur in work.Therefore, in our country, it is an extremely normal, reasonable, and necessary phenomenon for party members to participate in work in various places and departments.Not only does the Constitution affirm the party’s leading position in the country’s political life, but even in the thoughts and feelings of the people of the whole country, the party is regarded as the greatest wealth of our country and the leader of the country’s socialist construction and socialist transformation. strength and core strength.The existence and strength of the party is a powerful guarantee for safeguarding the fruits of the people's democratic revolution, building a strong new socialist China, and guiding the people into a happy and beautiful life.The Chinese people all agree that the Party has done countless good deeds for the people of the whole country.The people of the whole country are cheering and proud of all the great achievements accomplished under the leadership of the party, and are grateful to the party from the bottom of their hearts.Because of this, people have asked the party to send party members to lead them in learning and work.The responsibility of the party is consistent with the interests of the people.But I described these situations as "the party under heaven", and wanted to use such a hat to oppose the party's leadership.Not only that, but I further wrongly described the party as a sectarian organization in an attempt to split the relationship between the party and the people.The party admits that some party members have shortcomings in their ideological style and certain work. In order to overcome these shortcomings and better improve and strengthen the party's strength, the party has decided to carry out rectification with a serious attitude.However, I have described the shortcomings of some individual party members as shortcomings of the party.This fully exposed that my real purpose was to directly attack the party, thereby weakening the party's prestige and leadership.But my reactionary remarks cannot withstand refutation. Once the people expose them, it will completely expose the ugly side of me as a bourgeois rightist who is anti-Party and anti-socialism. ①

Chu Anping also acknowledged the so-called "Zhangluo alliance" and linked his "party world fallacy" with the "Zhangluo alliance": The mistakes I made actually served the anti-Party activities of the bourgeois rightists with the "Zhangluo Alliance" as the core.According to the recent newspaper reports, it is now clear to everyone that the "Zhangluo Alliance" is an insidious political collusion. Their purpose is to expand their power and fight against the party.Gradually usurp leadership.My "party world" fallacy is essentially a cry for their anti-party conspiracy, and in that fallacy I stated that none of the twelve deputy prime ministers is a non-party person, which is actually tantamount to speaking for Zhang Bojun and Luo Longji. Opening to ask for the post of Deputy Prime Minister. ①

Chu Anping also talked about his feelings after being "severely criticized", which is quite true: When the whole country judged me harshly and I began to see my own mistakes, I felt extremely sad and ashamed.Comrade postmen deliver newspapers and letters to my door every day, and I don’t even have the face to go to the door to pick them up.When I went to the doctor due to illness last week, I dared not say my surname was Chu, for fear that the doctor would suspect that I was that rightist Chu Anping.The severe criticism of me by the people of the whole country made me seriously realize that if I do not make up my mind to fundamentally reform my thinking and change my position, I will have no future. ②

Although Zhang Bojun and Chu Anping were insincere, after all, one "bowed his head and pleaded guilty" and the other "surrendered"!
