Chapter 49 6. Chen Qixia "disarmed"

Liu Xi's exposure must have touched him deeply. Chen Qixia returned home that night with a melancholy and listless look. His eldest son, Chen Gonghuai, recalled: When his father came back from a meeting, he changed his usual habit of not wanting to talk about work in front of his mother, and said sadly to his mother: "I may not be able to pass the test now. There are more than 200 people in the enlarged meeting of the party group. It was very tight and under a lot of pressure. I didn’t know anything about Ding Ling’s arrest and betrayal in Nanjing in the past, and I didn’t usually hear her talk about it. Now I’m unanimous in saying that there was something wrong with her experience, and I don’t listen to her at all. Distinguish. It is said that we are an anti-Party clique. In fact, we have opinions on Comrade Zhou Yang. *Damn it, I told her some things before, she thought I was wronged, so she wrote an anonymous letter to report to the central government. She wrote it with her left hand, so the Writers Association checked the handwriting of all my students and close friends , and have not been found out. It is okay to reflect the facts, but it should not be in the form of an anonymous letter. Although I did not ask her to write it, I am also very responsible for her doing so. Only by clarifying this matter now can I alleviate my pain Guilty. I thought about it again and again, and felt that I should explain these situations to the organization. But I am also in a dilemma now. In the past, I resisted so hard, and the meeting dragged on for so long without any results, because I firmly refused to admit it. If I go to How can I tell the truth? Even if I tell it, will they believe it?" His mother advised him to dispel his worries and trust the party and the organization.They talked until after three o'clock in the morning of the next day.After my father fell asleep, my mother worried that he was full of worries and would change his mind after waking up, so he decided to talk to the leader of the Writers Association first.Wearing slippers, she walked from her home on Gongyuan West Street to Liu Baiyu's residence at No. 46 Dongzongbu Hutong not far away, and told him everything her father had said, and said that her father had realized his mistake and was willing to move closer to the organization.Liu didn't quite believe it, saying that Qixia's temper could not have shown such an expression, maybe she just said it after drinking last night, he has always had a strong personality, and would not admit defeat easily.My mother assured me that the organization should rest assured that even if he refused to speak, I would like to prove the reliability of these words in front of the organization.She asked Liu Baiyu to tell Zhou Yang about this situation.Liu seemed very happy, and said, I will report to Comrade Zhou Yang first, and after you go back, don't disclose it in front of Qixia, and go to him after I finish the report.

At around nine o'clock in the morning on August 2, Guo Xiaochuan came to the office building, and Liu Baiyu told him: Chen Qixia had a serious talk with his lover last night, and she has already explained, and she will come to me at five o'clock this morning in a solemn way, and make an appointment Chen Qixia came to talk at ten o'clock in the morning.Guo Xiaochuan said in his diary, "At ten o'clock, Chen Lai was nervous. First, he handed over two keys and said: This is incriminating evidence! Then he explained his relationship with Ding Ling and Feng Xuefeng eloquently. It made my hair stand on end." Sending Chen Qixia away, Liu Baiyu and Guo Xiaochuan immediately went to report to Lu Dingyi and had lunch with him.

In the afternoon, Zhou Yang sent a car, and Liu Baiyu picked up Chen Qixia at home, and they went to Zhou Yang's place together.After returning from Zhou Yang's place, Chen Qixia was in a good mood, and she told her solemnly: "As soon as I got there, Zhou Yang shook hands with me and said, Comrade Qixia, it's very good of you, let's talk about the problem, we believe you will correct it, the party is for you.After hearing this, I feel more at ease. "The Party wants you", how warm these words are! In the tenth enlarged meeting of the party group on the afternoon of August 3, Chen Qixia was arranged to speak first. He reviewed himself, exposed Ding Ling, and made meritorious deeds.Chen Qixia said, my crime is very serious.In the past few days, I can say that I have died once.For the first three sessions I had only one question, how to die.After the last meeting, I made up my mind to die.He bought two bottles of white wine and found two gold rings. He wanted to swallow the gold and die, but he was afraid of being rescued. He planned to eat matches at the same time and wrote a suicide note.After Liu Xi spoke, the suicide note was changed, intending to write that I was executing my own death sentence.But at the same time, the meeting gave me a little sunshine. I originally estimated that after Liu Xi spoke, I would be tied up on the stage and everyone would scold me, but I was wrong. The meeting went on very peacefully.I told Zhou Yang and Quan Lin yesterday that I wanted to be more civilized.When I go home after the meeting, I can't do it anymore.Solemnly asked me how, I said to be frank.Zheng Zheng helped me a lot this time.I immediately called Shao Quanlin to explain the problem.

Then came Ding Ling and Chen Ming's explanations. Their explanations were considered "obvious denials", which aroused dissatisfaction among everyone, and they were interrupted before they finished speaking.Li Zhilian also spoke at the meeting. His speech was not long, and he did not make much criticism. He said that he "expressed some opinions as a staff member of the party organization of an organization." He said, "In the process of this struggle, we Some party members and comrades did not expect such seriousness because they did not see through their conspiracy for a while, or because they saw through it, they were once confused by their illusions and underestimated the seriousness of their mistakes. Comrades (including myself), in the past, did not see the consistency of their mistakes, did not see through their ulterior motives, and once considered whether it is appropriate to call them an 'anti-Party clique', and whether it is a bit heavier. But Judging from the facts revealed now, this kind of view is behind the development of the facts, and it is an underestimation of their mistakes. This is a manifestation of right deviation, and this should be taken as a lesson." This is obviously a self-examination.

Guo Xiaochuan made a short speech, explaining the dishonesty of Ding Ling and Chen Ming.His words were not long, but Lin Mohan thought he was very analytical.Then Mao Dun spoke. He had something to say temporarily, so he wrote a letter to Shao Quanlin asking for an impromptu speech.He said that today Chen Qixia's attitude has changed, but Ding Ling's attitude remains the same, which is beyond my expectation.Comrade Ding Ling and I are old friends. I have always respected her, and I have known her for a long time. After reading her book, it left a deep impression on me. At that time, I wondered if this was Ding Ling's own character?Later, we worked together at the Left Alliance, and I think she has made great progress, and her new works are completely different from hers.I see that in the new China today, there is still a Ms. Shafei deep in the soul of Comrade Ding Ling!Mao Dun said, as an old friend of thirty years, I sincerely advise Comrade Ding Ling to solve this problem ideologically as soon as possible.

At two o'clock in the afternoon on the 4th, the enlarged party group meeting of the Writers Association held the 11th meeting, and Ding Ling checked and explained the problem again.Feng Xuefeng, Xu Guangping, Guo Xiaochuan and others continued to speak.Xu Guangping said that Comrade Ding Ling disappointed us.It has been more than 20 years since I met her. I was originally fond of her works.It was closer to going abroad to the Soviet Union under her leadership. She persuaded me to write, which was a good intention, but then she said what was in her heart: "No matter how much work you do now, what is it? Writing is the only way to do it." It’s my own.” With these two sentences, I began to realize what kind of person Comrade Ding Ling was, and it turned out that her writing was for herself.

After almost every meeting, Zhou Yang would call Lin Mohan, Shao Quanlin, Liu Baiyu, and Guo Xiaochuan to hold a meeting, listen to the feedback, make arrangements, and determine the spokesperson for the next meeting.At nine o'clock that night, another meeting was held at Zhou Yang's place.Just as their meeting started, Ding Ling arrived at Qianmen Railway Station to welcome Jiang Zulin who had returned to Beijing from Shanghai.
