Chapter 24 2. Pay attention to the Writers Association Council

Ding Ling lived in Xia Zhaoqiu Village for about three weeks. In the letter to Chen Ming on February 20, she also asked: "Has the council been held yet?" It refers to the second expanded meeting of the Chinese Writers Association.The meeting opened on February 27th. The scale was very large, and the Party Central Committee also attached great importance to it. Mao Dun gave the opening speech, Zhou Yang gave a long report, and old writers such as Ba Jin, Ai Qing, and Cao Yu, as well as newcomers such as Gu Yu and Li Zhun, All spoke at the conference. On March 2, Mao Zedong, Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai and other central leaders received such a high standard, which was the only time in the Writers Association Council.

Ding Ling is the director, and she also really wants to go to the meeting, meet old friends, and more importantly, hope to meet Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou, and tell her grievances. long talk.But after thinking about it, she still dismissed the idea. First, she didn't want to wear the hat of "anti-Party element" and go to see her old friends as a guilty person; second, she felt that it would be inappropriate to go to the central leadership to complain , what can they say?Now it is different from before entering the city, different from the war period, everything has rules and procedures, let's solve it through normal organizational channels!

Ding Ling heard that Zhou Yang criticized the "naturalistic creative tendency" in his report, and "one of the representatives of this tendency is Gu Yu". Accounts" and "Fool", it can be seen that this writer is on a dangerous road. Gu Yu is one of Ding Ling's favorite students in the Institute of Literature. He is simple, hardworking, can write, and dares to explore new ways of expression.The three novels mentioned by Zhou Yang in his speech are exactly his explorations after reading a large number of works during his studies at the Institute of Literature.Ding Ling worried that what Zhou Yang said would destroy Gu Yu's spirit and hurt a talented young man.She said to Chen Ming: "Gu Yu just learned Chekhov's techniques!" But she dared not say these opinions casually, she knew that Zhou Yang was very powerful.

At this time, Zhou Yang was becoming popular. He not only gave a report at the Chinese Writers Association Council, but also at the National Youth Literature Creation Conference held later. His report was published in newspapers and printed in the book of People's Literature Publishing House.Zhou Yang's position as the highest leader of the party in the literary world has been firmly established, and no one can compare with him! But in March, there is still one thing that can make Ding Ling happy: Shanghai Children's Publishing House published her small book "A Little Red Army Story", which is Ding Ling's only children's literature work, based on the 1937 Adapted from a novel written in 1999.

One day in spring, the "organization" finally informed her that the Party Group of the Chinese Writers Association's "Report on Ding Ling, Chen Qixia, etc.'s anti-Party clique activities and their opinions on how to deal with them" had been wholesaled by the central government and conveyed to the literary and art circles across the country. The opinion on her handling in "" is: "Comrade Ding Ling is instructed to make a profound written review to the party, and consider her punishment based on her understanding of the mistakes she made and the degree of review. At the same time, she was in Nanjing for a period of time. history to examine and draw conclusions."

It has been two or three months since the central government wholesaled this report, and the person involved has just learned of something that almost the entire party knows.The reason why the "organization" notified her of this news was only to ask her to continue to review according to the requirements of the "Report". As for the "Report", she was still not shown.What a strange thing!According to the party's practice, a conclusion for a comrade must be signed by himself, let alone an upright central document.Mao Zedong once said: Is there any reason why the Communist Party is afraid of the common people?In the same way, there is no reason why the Communist Party's documents are afraid of Communist Party members to read, and it is the Communist Party members that the documents are aimed at!

Ding Ling was very annoyed.But there is no use getting angry, only facing reality.While thinking about writing a review, she began to think about writing a complaint. At the same time, she proposed to the "organization" to review a period of her history in Nanjing as soon as possible and draw a conclusion.Her headache became severe again, and the doctor diagnosed it as cranial neuralgia. She took a lot of medicine but it didn't improve. Ding Ling moved into the Yunsong Nest in the Summer Palace, where she wrote her self-criticism and complaint materials.
