Chapter 79 Wu Jingchao became the "counselor" of the "Zhang Luo Alliance"

Wu Jingchao, one of the "six professors", was also shot many times and became the target of great criticism. Among the various critical articles, Xu Zhengfan's "Exploding the Counselor of the Zhangluo Alliance-Wu Jingchao" published in the "People's Daily" on August 26, 1957, is the most penetrating. At the beginning of this article, it is aggressive: The rightist general Wu Jingchao is the number one figure in the think tank of the Zhangluo Alliance.He participated in the formulation of the alliance's anti-socialist strategic plan and tried to realize it.

We know that the anti-socialist strategy of the Zhangluo Alliance is: first, take advantage of the opportunity of the party's rectification movement, and use the name of "criticism", "supervision", and "contestation" to set fires everywhere in the scientific, cultural and educational circles, and incite teachers to lead students to the streets; Secondly, the fire was put on the small businessmen and hawkers, so that the students who took to the streets combined with the citizens, causing a chaotic situation; finally, under the guise of "cleaning up the mess", they appeared on the stage in a delusional attempt to replace the Communist Party and restore it. capitalism.

Although this vicious strategic plan has only recently been fully exposed, members of the Zhangluo Alliance have tried their best to create conditions for its realization long before the big "release" and "song".In this regard, Wu Jingchao will certainly not lag behind his "brothers" and "brothers". The article goes on to describe Wu Jingchao's image as a "counselor": To realize anti-Party and anti-socialist plots, bourgeois rightists must control their own organizations, degenerate them, and turn them into bases for operations.Wu Jingchao has realized the significance of capturing the Democratic League into the hands of the Zhangluo League.To control the Democratic League, the key lies in whether the rightists in the alliance can unite, win over the center, and exclude the leftists.For this reason, the Wus and his wife went out in person to "hardly advise" Luo Longji to have a good relationship with Zhang Bojun as old friends for more than 30 years. Luo proved that he accepted this suggestion with practical actions.In the process of establishing this reactionary alliance, Wu Jingchao made the first "contributions".

After the establishment of the Zhangluo Alliance, the rightists began to reject the leftists. In the process of carrying out this conspiracy, Wu Jingchao's "merit" is also undeniable. He participated in the chorus attacking Deng Chumin, cursing him as a "dogma". Participated in the attack on the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Democratic League in an attempt to drive Wu Han away and let Zeng Zhao take power; carried out the work of reorganizing the Central Cultural and Educational Committee of the Democratic League into the Ministry of Culture and Education, removed Chu Tunan, and removed Fei Xiaotong was promoted, and Wu Jingchao was also appointed as the first deputy minister.

In short, a series of "contributions" made Wu Jingchao, who was only five years old, appointed as the chief deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture and Education by general members, a member of the Central Cultural and Educational Committee of the Democratic League, and a member of the Central Committee and vice chairman of the Study Committee. , and attended the CPPCC National Committee on behalf of the NLD.It's really a prosperous official career, and the sky is going straight up. This is the "reward" that the Zhangluo Alliance gives to its loyal counselors. Naturally, to "expose" Wu Jingchao, one cannot fail to mention the "666" incident:

Attending the "June 6th" conspiracy meeting as a counselor of the Zhangluo Alliance was the peak of Wu Jingchao's anti-party and anti-socialist activities.This meeting is a meeting for bourgeois political careerists to study "the current situation and the tasks of the right".At this murderous meeting, Wu Jingchao expressed his views on the situation, introducing Li Jinghan's reactionary fallacy of cursing the party as Qin Shihuang, ideological reform as human rights violations, and new intellectuals as new bears, and attacking the "National People's Congress" as "four different images". The "fortress" of dogmatism that must be "destroyed". Finally, he begged his master Zhang Bojun to instruct specific tasks according to the situation at the time.

Finally, Xu Zhengfan summarized the three characteristics of Wu Jingchao's "criminal activities": First, be proactive.As soon as Zhang Luo comes up with a bad idea, Wu is good at turning it into concrete plans and plans, and implements them; Second, make suggestions.On key issues, he is always proficient in proposing battle plans based on "leadership intentions"; Third, foresight.All the reactionary plans he devised always had a lot of pretense and were highly deceptive, and the steps of attack or retreat were carefully considered.These characteristics show that Wu Jingchao really deserves to be a counselor and leader of the Zhangluo Alliance.

Wu Jingchao is a professor at Renmin University of China.In 1901, he was born in Shexian County, Anhui Province, in the same hometown as Hu Shi. After graduating from Tsinghua School, he went to the United States to study sociology and received a Ph.D. Afterwards, he returned to China and served as the director and professor of the Department of Sociology at Jinling University in Nanjing and Tsinghua University. He joined the China Democratic League in 1952. As a sociologist, Wu Jingchao is quite insightful.As early as March 1954, he published "New Theory on China's Population Issue" in the "New Construction" magazine.He pointedly pointed out:

"The large population of China is the main reason why most people in China are poor." "China has a population of more than 400 million. First, it cannot defend the country, and second, it cannot produce. It is just a large number of consumption units to increase China's consumption power." "China's wealth is limited, and now it has to provide food and clothing for so many people. How can we not go on the road of poverty and weakness." Immediately afterwards, he published another important article "Does Sociology Still Have a Place in New China?" in the first issue of "New Construction" magazine in 1957? ".As a Ph.D. in sociology, he offers insightful insights into this issue:

"Before Liberation, sociology departments were set up in many universities in China. After the reorganization of departments in 1952, these social science departments were all abolished. Most of the sociologists in the past changed their careers. Of course This does not mean that no one studies the objects studied by sociology in the past. It is not like this. Some parts of sociology, such as labor issues and ethnic issues, are now given unprecedented opportunities for development in our colleges and universities. .But there are also some parts that have not been properly arranged. In this short article, I just want to put forward a preliminary opinion on the arrangement of these parts."

Unexpectedly, during the "Anti-Rightist Movement", these two papers by Wu Jingchao, which shined with light of true knowledge, were both labeled as "big poisonous weeds".Coupled with the "666" incident, Wu Jingchao was immediately included in the list of "extreme rightists". In fact, if you re-read Mr. Wu Jingchao's "rightist remarks" now, you will be amazed at his truthful insights!Wu Jingchao once attacked dogmatism so fiercely.He said in the "Beijing Daily" on June 6, 1957: "When these people encounter a theoretical problem or a practical problem, instead of collecting and analyzing facts and seeking answers from the objective connections of things, they go to the classics to see what Marx, Engels and Les said about these problems . "For example, those who talk about ethnic issues do not seriously study the ethnic minorities in China, where they are distributed, and what characteristics they have, but only recite the four basic characteristics mentioned by Stalin; those who study imperialism do not To collect a large number of facts about the United States and Britain for analysis, but only know to recite the five basic economic characteristics proposed by Lenin in 1916, so that the understanding of imperialism is still at the stage of the First European War .” He finally pointed out with deep hatred: "Doctrinaires don't dare to say what Marx, Engels and Les have not said. Without Mars, Enles and Les, they can't write any articles, and they are superstitious about Mars, Enles and Les, thinking that what they said Any word of it can be applied everywhere.” Wu Jingchao also pointed out in the third issue of "New Construction" magazine in 1957 that the development of China's economy must be based on a "high-tech foundation."This was a very "advanced" view in the 1950s: "How to eliminate the technical backwardness in the national economy in the shortest period of time, so that all laborers can produce on the basis of high technology and create high labor productivity, so far, no one seems to be satisfied. scheme. "If the means of production we allocate to each laborer is less than the ideal level, production can still proceed as usual, but this kind of production is not carried out on the basis of high technology, but may be backward technology. It does not conform to the requirements of the basic economic laws of socialism.” These "rightist" remarks of Wu Jingchao reflect the depth of his thoughts and insights.He was unfortunately attacked.Historian Fan Wenlan even called him a "state arsonist" - because he "stirred up the flames" everywhere! After Wu Jingchao was included in the "Right Book", he suffered a lot, and it became worse during the "Cultural Revolution", and finally passed away unjustly in the bitter wind and rain in May 1968...
