Chapter 74 Fei Xiaotong was branded as a "Military Advisor" of the "Zhangluo Alliance"

Among the "songs" of "It was my fault", Fei Xiaotong was naturally indispensable. Fei Xiaotong, as the author of "The Early Spring Weather of Intellectuals", became a prominent target in the "Anti-Rightist Movement". However, Fei Xiaotong didn't think he was a "rightist" at first, but he just didn't "distinguish right from wrong".On the afternoon of June 17, 1957, Fei Xiaotong stated at a symposium for non-Party people hosted by the Secretary-General of the State Council Xi Zhongxun that he wanted to draw a clear line with the "rightists", implying that he was not a "rightist". .

On June 18, 1957, "People's Daily" published a report "The transformation of intellectuals is from the beginning to the end to change the position. Fei Xiaotong took a step forward in the struggle against the rightists."The report said: "Fei Xiaotong said that he is determined to draw a clear line with the rightists. He wants to go with the Communist Party and not with the ambitious." Fei Xiaotong claimed that it was just "an unstable position", and the reason was due to "serious sentimentalism", that's all!The report said: Fei Xiaotong analyzed that his stance is unstable because he has serious sentimentalism.As a result, he can't tell right from wrong, make a quick decision, and draw a clear line.Regarding wrong thinking, some see it, but do not dispute it; some think it is wrong, but do not know where it is wrong;

For example, he said that on June 8, he saw the People's Daily titled "Why is this?" When I wrote the editorial, I felt that it was too intense and the atmosphere was too tense.Therefore, Toka put forward the speech of "the speaker is not guilty" and "convincing people with reason".It was only after seeing the subheading in People's Daily that he linked his statement with Chen Xingui's agreement with him that he realized that he was covering for the rightists.He said that at this critical juncture when he draws the line of thinking, he made such specious remarks, which are wrong and harmful to the people.

Fei Xiaotong said that his unstable stance is also reflected in his attitude towards Chu Anping.When he saw Chu Anping's ridiculous speech on "Party World" in the newspaper, the first thing he thought of was "It's broken, he said something wrong. Why didn't he ask a few more friends to read it before taking it out?" At that time, he Although I feel that the two of them have different opinions, they might as well "contend among a hundred schools of thought".Fei Xiaotong said that it was not until the workers came out to speak that he realized that this was a major matter. On this major matter, he "did not fulfill his duty as a friend to Chu Anping, nor did he make a timely distinction with his thoughts in principle. Clear the line."

Soon, the flames of the "Anti-Rightist Movement" burned on Fei Xiaotong's head.His article "Early Spring Weather of Intellectuals" was designated as "the first sound of rightists' attack on the party".Now, of course, he was classified as a "rightist", and he was also called the "military adviser" of the "Zhangluo Alliance". Wen Wei Po, which had "changed" its position, published Zhang Liyun's article "On the Political Climate of Intellectuals—Refuting Fei Xiaotong's "Early Spring Climate of Intellectuals"" by Zhang Liyun on July 21, 1957. Xiaotong's "Early Spring Weather of Intellectuals" criticized:

"In this vicious article, he listed many facts that were distorted by his own colored glasses, and tried his best to describe the so-called depression, annoyance, and depression of intellectuals, so as to prove how the socialist system led by the Communist Party suffocated intellectuals. enthusiasm." Zhang Liyun's article also pointed out: "From the struggle of the anti-rightists, we deeply understand the political purpose behind this article. By distorting the facts, telling the truth, exaggerating the shortcomings, obliterating the achievements... and other means, he put the scientific and cultural front of China after liberation. The description is dark, denying the great achievements of the party's intellectual policy. In order to stir up the dissatisfaction of the intellectuals with the party, make the intellectuals leave the party, run to their hands, follow them, and under their orders, go to the party Carry out political struggles. Ultimately, the party will be demolished, socialism will perish, and capitalism will be restored. Therefore, some people say that Fei Xiaotong's article is the first sound of the rightists' attack on the party. This assessment is not bad at all.

"From this, we can also understand what Fei Xiaotong's dream of 'the season of warm spring and flowers blooming' means. That is the spring of capitalism and the blooming of capitalist flowers." Helpless, Fei Xiaotong could only sing "It's my fault".On July 13, at the National People's Congress, he had no choice but to make a speech titled "Acquittal to the People". At the beginning of Fei Xiaotong's speech, he "repented" in this way: "I prosecute the people and continue to expose my crimes, which is to testify to expose the conspiracy of the Zhangluo Alliance." ①

Fei Xiaotong revealed more than a dozen of his "crimes".One of the articles mentioned "Early Spring Weather of Intellectuals".Fei Xiaotong wrote: I wrote "Early Spring Weather of Intellectuals", and Luo Longji had read the manuscript, and he encouraged me to publish it.This article used obscure and covert methods to convey the feelings of backward intellectuals, which played a stimulating and enlightening role, and aroused these anti-Party and anti-socialist sentiments.It should be read in conjunction with the conspiracy of the Zhangluo Alliance. This article is indeed a signal to open up anti-communist and anti-socialist speeches to attack the party.I accept and thank Li Da, Xia Kangnong and Yang Dongpu for their criticism and help.I should go further and criticize myself. ②
