Chapter 96 "The First Old Woman in the East" and "The Crow of the Crow"

After counting Shanghai’s “rightist leaders” Chen Renbing, Peng Wenying, Wang Zaoshi, Lu Yi, and Sun Dayu at the Shanghai cadre meeting, Mao Zedong mentioned: "There is another Wu Yin." Wu Yin, the actor team leader of the Shanghai Film Studio at the time, couldn't reach the "big rightist", but Mao Zedong still noticed her. Wu Yin is known as the "No. 1 Old Lady in the East". Wu Yin is actually a stage name. Her original name was Yang Ying, and she was born in Shanghai in 1909. Wu Yin first studied painting and graduated from the Chinese Painting Department of Shanghai Chengdong Girls' School.Since 1934, he has entered the film and drama circle.She participated in the filming of "New Women", "Liberty God", "Urban Scenery" and other films.At this time, she was not acting as an old woman.

During the Anti-Japanese War, Wu Yin joined the Film and Television Troupe and performed the drama "Remnant Zero" in Chongqing and Chengdu.She played the role of the old lady Xi vividly, and was praised by everyone.Since then, she has specialized in acting as an "old woman". She has successfully played various roles in films such as "Eight Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moon", "A River of Spring Water Flows Eastward", "Lights of Thousands of Houses", "The Crow and the Sparrow" and other films. The role of "old woman" has since gained the reputation of "the first old woman in the East".

Wu Yinhui became a "May 7th Warrior" and was closely related to Chen Renbing.For example, a report criticizing Wu Yin published by Wen Wei Po on July 7, 1957 used this title: "Wu Yin played an important role in the anti-Party scandal directed by Chen Renbing" On July 21, 1957, "Liberation Daily" published Li Shiyu's "Where is Wu Yin Going?" 》, focusing on exposing the so-called "five symposiums": Under the auspices of the rightist leader Chen Renbing and the plan of Wu Yin, a member of the Shanghai Film Rightist, Chen Renbing used the name of the Democratic League to invite some members of the Shanghai Film Group to hold five "symposiums". In essence, it appears to be an anti-Party and anti-socialist mobilization meeting ingeniously organized by the right-wing leaders of the Democratic League.The participants were studied one by one by Chen Renbing and rightists Wu Yin and Ma Guoliang.They don't want party members, activists, or people who don't want to speak up.They once mentioned a well-known director. Wu Yin said he was not willing to speak, so he was eliminated.

These five "symposiums" have become more arrogant and crazier each time.Under Chen Renbing's command and echoed by other rightists, an anti-Party atmosphere pervaded these symposiums with ulterior motives.Some people feel dissatisfied with their work and the Party, and rightists try their best to channel this dissatisfaction into attacks and slanders against the Party.Therefore, at the meeting, many people slapped the table and cursed, beat their chests and cried bitterly, insulting party members as "spotting" and "overlord", and activists as "inquiring about" and "selling themselves for refuge".Some people call this shameful "symposium" their "Democracy Day".During these "symposiums", they drew up a list and asked the municipal party committee to replace almost all party members and cadres in charge of art work in Shanghai Film Studio according to this list.

In these criminal activities, Wu Yin was an active participant and organizer. In this way, Wu Yin, the "No. 1 old woman in the East", was also included in the "right" book. Mao Zedong also mentioned "that one person" in Shanghai anonymously at the Shanghai cadre meeting.Mao Zedong said this: Didn't someone in Shanghai write an article called "The Crow of the Crow"?That "crow" he made this suggestion... I think that "crow" is very welcome now.Now it is a rainy day, after July, it will be mild and light rain in August, because there is not much to dig. ①

The "so one person" Mao Zedong said was Xu Zhongnian. Xu Zhongnian, formerly known as Xu Songnian, is a professor of French in the German and French Department of Shanghai International Studies University. Xu Zhongnian is a native of Wuxi, Jiangsu. He studied in France for ten years in his early years and received a doctorate in literature from the University of Lyon in France.After returning to China in 1930, he has been working as a French professor in various universities.He translated many French literary works and created many novels, essays, poems and plays. He joined the China Peasants and Workers Democratic Party and served as the director of the Shanghai Foreign Languages ​​Institute of the China Peasants and Workers Democratic Party.

Xu Zhongnian published the essay "Wu "Day" Cry" in Da Ming Da Fang, which was criticized by a gentleman named "Luo Yu", which attracted Mao Zedong's attention. Who is this Mr. "Luo Yu"? Zhang Chunqiao's pseudonym also! Zhang Chunqiao wrote an article "New Evidence of the "Crow"" and published it in the "Liberation Daily" to refute Xu Zhongnian.Zhang Chunqiao called Xu Zhongnian a "crow", and the article was quite sharp: Xu Zhongnian, the "crow", once did some profound textual research on the "crow".As a result of textual research, it is considered "certain": "crow" is a "beneficial bird" and can "report good news".Regarding Xu Zhongnian's textual research, "ordinary people" like me who have little talent and learning, really "dare not dare to praise it".Just because Xu Zhongnian's "theoretical level" is too "high", and the textual research is incomprehensible; in order to "learn how to research and analyze", I would like to try to make some superficial annotations for Xu Zhongnian's textual research.Note: Xu Zhongnian, the "crow", is a political animal; under the eaves of Taiwan's "four major families", in the gardens of Wall Street bosses...all have the reputation of "beneficial birds"; They "announce the good news" also.

Then, Zhang Chunqiao used the crow to make use of it to "deeply criticize" Xu Zhongnian: "Crows" are also "carrion-eating" animals.According to our common sense, wherever there is war or famine, there will be a large gathering of "crows", flying obliquely and screaming strangely, taking pleasure in eating the carrion of dead bodies.Therefore, on the "crow", the "stink" is soaring, which is depressing.Perhaps for this reason, in the minds of the working people, "crows" have become "unlucky" "harmful birds" (Xu Zhongnian, as a "crow", actually said, "I don't know when and what month, the crow has become 'unlucky' animal", which shows that "crow" is also a kind of animal good at lying).As evidenced by Xu Zhongnian, he compared the Communist Party to "ghosts and snake gods" and "a living treasure wearing the hat of 'get rich at first sight' in the palace of the king of hell".After all, Xu Zhongnian is an "intellectual", unlike Ge Peiqi's "Major General" who is "high in martial arts" and often shouts "Kill the Communists".However, this just shows the nature of "crow". Since he wants to "eat" without working, he has to divide the labor with Ge Peiqi's "major general": you kill people, and I will eat dead bodies.In terms of killing people, Ge Peiqi is certainly not as good as Chiang Kai-shek.So, what is the "development" "point of view" of the "crow"?It is also "obviously exposed". "Crow" is such a shameless and vicious animal.

In the era of socialism, the world of working people, "crows" must not be allowed to run rampant!If Xu Zhongnian is willing to be a "crow" forever, then the fate of the "crow" is like this: Suicide! After Mr. Xu Zhongnian was mistakenly classified as a "rightist", because Mao Zedong named the "Crow Crying in the Day" and Mao Zedong's speech was included in the fifth volume of "Selected Works of Mao Zedong", the problem appeared to be "serious".It was not until September 1979 that Xu Zhongnian was finally "corrected".

On December 9, 1981, Xu Zhongnian passed away at the age of seventy-seven.
