Chapter 83 Chen Mingshu Convicted for Writing Letter to Mao Zedong

In the "Anti-Rightist Movement", the China Democratic League was the "hardest hit household".Because there is a "Zhangluo League" in the China Democratic League, and the so-called "Military Advisors", "Advisors", "Generals", and "Liaison Officers" of the so-called "Zhangluo League" have involved a large number of people.In addition, there are the so-called "Zhang Bojun Small Group" and "Luo Longji Small Group", which have implicated a large number of people.No wonder, the China Democratic League has become the most "rightist" democratic party.

Second only to the China Democratic League, it is the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang, and it is also the "hardest-hit household" of the "anti-rightist movement". Among the members of the Kuomintang, many were former military and political personnel of the Kuomintang.In Mao Zedong's words, those who have both "rightist" speeches and historical "bad deeds" should be arrested as representatives of "rightists".Therefore, many people in the Kuomintang met Mao Zedong's "conditions".Because of this, the Kuomintang has also become a "hardest hit household".When criticizing the "rightists" of the Kuomintang Revolution, almost all "new accounts" and "old accounts" should be counted together.The so-called "new account" refers to the words and deeds of the "rightists", while the "old account" refers to the "bad deeds" of history.

Among the "famous rightists" of the Kuomintang Revolution, Chen Mingshu counted as one. Chen Mingshu has gone through a tortuous political road: In 1890, he was born in Hepu, Guangxi.Hepu is famous for producing pearls, and there is a saying that "the pearls return to Hepu".He joined the Chinese League in his early years, participated in the Northern Expedition, and served as the deputy commander of the Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army. Later, he also fought against the Communist Party: in 1929, he participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army in Jiangxi.In 1931, he served as the commander-in-chief of the right-wing army to suppress the Communist Party in Jiangxi.

Then, he opposed Chiang Kai-shek: In 1933, he, Li Jishen and others established the People's Revolutionary Government of the Republic of China in Fuzhou and raised the banner of anti-Chiang.Go to Hong Kong after failure. He actively participated in the War of Resistance Against Japan. In 1945, he participated in the founding of the Three People's Principles Comrades Federation.This federation is an organization of the democrats of the Kuomintang and opposes Chiang Kai-shek. He turned from anti-communist to pro-communist.In 1949, he attended the first plenary session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference held in Beiping.

Since then, he has served as a member of the Central People's Government, vice chairman of the Central South Military and Political Committee, minister of the Ministry of Communications, and a member of the Central Standing Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee. Looking at Chen Mingshu's political path, although he had "bad deeds" such as anti-communism and suppression of communism, he became a comrade-in-arms of the CCP after all. However, in 1957, Chen Mingshu became a "rightist", so the "old accounts" of anti-communism and suppression of communism were uncovered...

Li Jishen, chairman of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang, once said, "We have received more than a million materials about the reactionary words and deeds of the rightist Chen Mingshu from various sources. Chen Mingshu's crimes are really too numerous to write." Li Jishen once used this passage to summarize Chen Mingshu's "crime": Chen Mingshu is the leader of the right wing who carried out reactionary activities in a planned, organized and planned way.In order to overthrow the leadership of the Communist Party and fight against socialism, he formulated a set of programs to attack the party in an all-round way: he slandered the party organization, party leaders and party cadres in an attempt to weaken the prestige of the party among the masses; he slandered socialism Reform and socialist construction, in vain attempt to restore capitalism; he slandered the people's democratic dictatorship, in vain attempt to bring back counter-revolutionary rule; he slandered democratic centralism, in vain attempt to implement the bourgeois so-called "democracy"; The relationship with the non-party, in an attempt to split the people's democratic united front; he opposed the Soviet Union, in an attempt to destroy the unity of the socialist camp.In order to promote his reactionary program, he recruited backward people everywhere, organized scum, and engaged in various conspiracy activities.His attempt to usurp the central leadership of the Kuomintang and control the local organizations of the Kuomintang is actually one of the planned steps against the party and socialism.

Chen Mingshu is a right-wing careerist who flaunts his teeth and claws.He bites almost everyone, slanders democrats who support the Communist Party, Party members and League members, and even Chairman Mao. He openly thinks that China is so big that only Chen Mingshu and a small group of rightists are righteous. Good man, the Communist Party should step down from leadership and let Chen Mingshu and his ilk take their place.His claws are very long, extending in all directions, almost all of the important cities in the country have his minions. Chen Mingshu is a rightist giant with a wide voice and a collection of reactionary achievements.All contemporary rightist celebrities such as Zhang Bojun, Luo Longji, Zhang Naiqi, Chu Anping, Long Yun, Huang Shaohong, etc., Chen Mingshu echoes and seeks with them.All anti-Soviet, anti-Communist, anti-people, anti-socialist and other absurd remarks, Chen Mingshu has both.

Chen Mingshu is a right-wing conspirator who is duplicity and creates rumors.He used to attack the party with double tactics, saying some empty compliments, followed by vicious attacks, which is very insidious and vicious.He tried to deceive the masses into believing that his words were just and that the party's shortcomings were real.He is also used to colluding with dissatisfied elements and bad elements in various agencies and schools, collecting shortcomings in the work of party and government leaders, expanding or distorting them, and even fabricating facts to attack the party. A heartfelt heart" miles! ①

Among the various "rightist" words and deeds of Chen Mingshu, the most "crucial" is a letter he wrote that has not yet been sent.This letter is addressed to Mao Zedong. Qu Wu once gave a long speech at a conference criticizing Chen Mingshu with the title "Refuting Chen Mingshu's Letter to Chairman Mao".This speech revealed some contents of Chen Mingshu's letter to Mao Zedong.The summary is as follows: Rightist political careerist Chen Mingshu wrote a letter to Chairman Mao on May 18 this year.Although Chen Mingshu's letter was only about 3,000 words long, it constituted a very complete anti-Party, anti-people, and anti-socialist political and action program.

He attacked Chairman Mao for being "very happy with great achievements", "hot but not dull, sick but not comfortable, restless but hard to calm down, and difficult to observe through observation" in personal cultivation, "credulously trusting cadres' hypocritical reports and dogmatic analysis methods, without seriousness. Meticulous research means making radical decisions." There is a lack of "sharp judgment" in terms of observing people, listening to words, and making decisions.Chen Mingshu said: "I deeply feel that the leading comrades of the party generally lack the relationship between personal teachers and friends... For people's spiritual life, it is always monotonous"...

In his letter, Chen Mingshu said to Chairman Mao: The non-Party people you often come into contact with "are still mostly clinging people, and there are very few people who are honest and honest. As for those who can offend Yan and dare to advise, I haven't seen them yet." He said: "After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Party turned enemies into friends, and the use of certain people from the old society was mostly based on utility, and less able to take into account the selection of their character and ability. Cultivate cleanliness and hide light, as for those who are greedy for the achievements of the sky, there are those who have reputations that are unpredictable, and those who compete for fame and positions are full of lukeworms. "I feel that when you have time, you can't help but be taken advantage of by joy and anger. Under a wave, it is easy to dampen the self-esteem of senior cadres and their inherent status, and sometimes cunning people take advantage of your joy and anger to confuse black and white and surrender to others. good. "Bismarck once said to William the first, 'For those who have been with him for a long time, because of his hard work, even if he refuses, he can't bear it, and he can't go. Carbuncle'. "Your healing and teaching have a great power to move people. I don't know how many class enemies have been touched, and they have become bosom friends who love you. Why can't I win your treatment by myself? Rest assured. Close the door and aggravate my pain? "You have to unite with Chiang Kai-shek, why not me?" ① This unsent letter from Chen Mingshu was sharp and insightful.However, in 1957, it became evidence of treason and a "fallacy" of the "ultra-right". The "new accounts" of "anti-Chairman Mao" like Chen Mingshu, coupled with the "old accounts" of anti-communism in history, are of course classified as "extreme rightists". Even, a "Chen Mingshu Anti-Party Group" was exposed: Chen Mingshu's anti-communist clique in Beijing was formed after Chen Mingshu was transferred from Wuhan to Beijing. (Chen's secretary), Cao Renyuan (Chen's old friend, a professor at the Industrial College), Luo Weizhi and other elements... The leaders of Chen Mingshu's group in Shanghai include Luo Haisha, who was promoting democracy in Xinhu Middle School, Chen Mingshu's proud military adviser, and Yu Ruonan, who organized a vicious development organization in Tilanqiao of the National Revolutionary Revolution...① Chen Mingshu spent his later years in depression and died of illness in Beijing in May 1965.
