Chapter 150 The most tragic fate is the "Little Rightist"

Ye Fangying, a retired teacher in Yangjiang City, Guangdong Province, wrote on December 23, 1997: During the "Anti-Rightist Storm" in 1957, unfortunately, I was "on the gold list" and wore the "laurel crown". I have been sunk for twenty years, narrowly escaped death, and endured all kinds of hardships.After the correction, he resumed working as a middle school teacher and has been retired for many years.I still have fresh memories of that unbearable past.The scar is still aching! Most of the writings in the masterpiece are "rightists" among famous and high-level people.The authorities often "fake color" and "show mercy" to them.Those who suffered persecution and cruel torture were the vast number of unknown "little rightists". Their fate was the most miserable, but they were rarely seen in books and periodicals.

I don't think shallow, I intend to use "false words and village words" to write down the long-lost past, in order to learn from "Qin people have no time to mourn for themselves, but later generations mourn, and later generations mourn without warning, and then make future generations mourn." In the vicious circle historical tragedy of "later generations will also", it has been enlightened. He was labeled as a "rightist" just because he said "there are fewer sesame seeds in the pancake than before" The letter of Shanghai reader Mr. Ge Weidao on September 9, 1997 reflected the deep suffering brought about by the "anti-rightist movement" from the perspective of his family:

During the Anti-Rightist Movement, I was still a child, but when I grew up, I realized that what happened around me was related to it.One of my uncles, who worked in a factory, was anti-rightist, saying that "now there are fewer sesame seeds in pancakes than before", so he became a "rightist".My mother-in-law, whose ancestors were poor farmers in northern Jiangsu, entered a spinning mill at the age of eighteen. Apart from being able to write her own name crookedly, the rest of her cultural knowledge can be imagined.When the grassroots blew, the leader asked the old workers to "provide opinions and help improve the work." At the symposium, she bluntly said: "The state stipulates eight hours of work, and our factory works more than eight hours." Later, she was internally designated as a "rightist."My father was sent to a labor camp in 1958 for the crime of "ideologically sympathizing with the rightists", and he has been away for 22 years!

A letter from a reader who did not want to be named said: I was the head of a local rightist who was thrown out at the end of 1957. I remember being dragged out amid the shouts of "Get out, the head of the ××× rightists". I fought for nearly half a month, covered in The slogans of "Rightists" and "Counter-revolutionaries" are all over the place. It is common to bow your head, bend over, and stand and fight for four or five hours a day.It made my eyes swell and blood splattered on my head, and it would have been better if I just knelt on the ground.The results of each criticism are only allowed to admit, not to defend.

He was arrested at the end of March 1958, sentenced to five years in prison in June of the same year (the verdict was issued in March of that year), and was commuted to three years in prison in August. A primary school teacher was actually labeled as a "rightist" again during the "Cultural Revolution"! Li Chihuai, a reader in Xiangtan, Hunan, wrote in a letter dated February 6, 1998: I am also a personal experiencer and victim of the anti-rightist struggle and the Cultural Revolution. At that time, I was just a primary school teacher. I joined the work in 1956. During the rectification movement during the winter vacation in 1957, I was classified as a rightist and punished as "three downs".In March 1959, he was cleared out of the teaching staff. In 1960, he was in class. In 1962, he took off his hat and resumed his public office.In 1965, the social education team was stationed in the school and launched a social education movement. As a rightist who took off his hat, I was the first to bear the brunt.On February 5, 1969, he was kicked out of the teaching team again, put on the rightist hat again, and handed over to poor and lower-middle peasants to supervise his labor.

Letter from Mr. Mei Xuebao, Shaoxing, January 23, 1997: There is a peculiar "rightist" in Shaoxing who graduated from the Russian Department of Zhejiang Normal University.Because he was a "revenge element" - his father was suppressed, he was quarantined for several months without reason before graduation and assigned, no problem, assigned to Linhai Middle School, and later transferred to Shaoxing No. 2 Middle School.After opposing the "Rightists", he went to the countryside to work with the "Rightists" and received 20 yuan for living expenses.After the "rightists" were corrected in 1978, he returned to the countryside to teach.Later, when I checked the files, there was no information that he was classified as a "rightist". He was not a "rightist" at all, and he was wronged for twenty years in a daze.

He is not a "rightist", so he cannot talk about corrections, nor can he talk about implementing policies.The situation after returning to school to teach is worse than that of the real "rightists". In order to seek justice, he ran around until 1983 before being transferred back to Suzhou Fengqiao Middle School to teach, and finally returned to his hometown.
