Chapter 55 12. Tissue processing

After a major war is over, it is time to write a report to the Central Committee. On the afternoon of September 21, at the party group meeting of the Chinese Writers Association, Liu Baiyu proposed that Guo Xiaochuan be drafted. On the morning of the 26th, Shao Quanlin, Liu Baiyu, Guo Xiaochuan, Yan Wenjing and other members of the five-member core group of the Writers Association held a meeting and discussed an outline of the report.Guo Xiaochuan started writing on the 27th, and completed the first draft of the "Report on the Criticism of Ding Ling and Chen Qixia's Anti-Party Clique" on the 30th, and printed it out in the afternoon for comments. At the party group meeting on October 10, everyone was basically satisfied with the report and suggested revisions.

On the morning of October 16, the three secretaries of the leading party group of the Writers Association went to Zhou Yang for a meeting to discuss the treatment of Ding Ling, Chen Qixia and others.Guo Xiaochuan said in his diary, "Comrade Zhou Yang walked for half an hour (to Comrade Xiaoping's), and when he came back, he presided over the discussion until twelve o'clock. It was decided to fire a few people and assign them to the lower levels to live. Recently, we had separate conversations, Deal with their party affiliation." The half hour of "coming to Comrade Xiaoping" was very intriguing. Obviously, the handling of Ding Chen had to go through the central government.

On the morning of November 4, Zhou Yang presided over a meeting in the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to discuss the "Report on Criticism of Ding Ling and Chen Qixia's Anti-Party Clique" and "Decision on the Handling of Ding Ling and Chen Qixia's Anti-Party Clique." "Decision on Ding Ling and Chen Qixia's Anti-Party Group Members" stated: "With regard to Ding Ling and Feng Xuefeng's positions as vice-chairmen of the Writers' Association, it is proposed that the Writers' Association propose to the presidium to seek the approval of the directors of the Writers' Association by means of communication, and remove them from their positions as vice-chairmen. Ding Ling and others should be dismissed from other administrative positions and editorial boards of publications. The names of people’s representatives and directors of the Writers’ Association will be handled separately in the next election. Membership of the association does not need to be changed. It is proposed that Ding Ling and others go deep into grassroots life, Transform your mind and keep writing."

On the afternoon of November 26, Guo Xiaochuan drafted a report on the dismissal of Ding Ling and Feng Xuefeng as vice chairmen of the Chinese Writers Association. On December 2, the "Report on the Criticism of Ding Ling and Chen Qixia's Anti-Party Group by the Party Group of the Chinese Writers Association" was submitted to the Central Propaganda Department and transferred to the Central Committee.The report is very long, nearly 6,000 words. The "Report" stated: "This meeting is a continuation of the criticism of Ding and Chen's anti-party clique at the enlarged meeting of the party group in August and September 1955. After the meeting the year before last, Ding Ling and Chen Qixia not only did not accept the party's criticism of them. Criticism, correcting the past, but from the second half of last year, secretly combined forces and continued anti-party activities. In order to fight against them, the party group held an enlarged meeting again in June this year to start a debate. The first three enlarged party group meetings were It was held in early June during the stage of Da Ming Da Fang. At these meetings, Ding Ling, Chen Qixia, Li Youran and others publicly launched a rampant attack on the party. From the fourth meeting on July 25, the attack on Ding, Chen Qixia and others began. Counterattack by anti-Party blocs."

The "Report" stated that the "new anti-Party activities" are mainly manifested in: "1. Colluding with non-Party rightists and other anti-Party groups in the literary and art circles, taking advantage of the opportunity to make a big statement in the early stage of the rectification movement, to overthrow the Party's leadership over literary and artistic work, usurp They not only colluded with the rightists of the "Wen Wei Po" in an attempt to reverse the verdict of the 1954 censorship of the "Literary News" and the anti-party clique of Ding and Chen, but also colluded with the art circles. The Jiangfeng Anti-Party Group, the People’s Literature Publishing House, the “Literary News” and other rightists communicated with each other and supported each other in an attempt to merge these many anti-Party trends into one giant current to overthrow the Party’s leadership. This faction replaced them. Second, split the literary and artistic circles, destroying the unity of the party and the alliance between the party and the non-party in the literary and art circles. Ding Ling and Chen Qixia not only carried out anti-Party small group activities, but also prepared to withdraw if their offensive failed. The literary and art circles have openly broken with the party. Ding Ling and Chen Qixia are planning to blackmail the party by publishing a newspaper statement at the National Congress of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles originally planned to be held in October this year. Feng Xuefeng, as a member of the party group of the Writers Association, The leading party group and several loyal anti-Party members of "Wenyi Bao" conspired to organize "Fanren Publication" in an attempt to bring down "Wenyi Bao". Among their default "followers", Ding Ling, Chen Qixia, Wang Ruowang, Liu Binyan, Chen Yong and other rightists and anti-Party elements. This meeting also exposed the development process of their anti-Party ideology and activities from history, especially Ding Ling and Feng Xuefeng's behavior of disloyalty to the Party and sabotage of the Party's interests over the years, which made everyone more We are deeply aware of the harmfulness of this anti-party group.”

The "Report" talked about the preliminary opinions on the handling of Ding and Chen's anti-party cliques: "First, the historical issues of Ding Ling and Feng Xuefeng have not yet been concluded; according to the materials disclosed at the meeting, some new doubts have been discovered. Therefore, we believe that their historical issues should be further examined. Second, the issue of internal party punishments of Ding Ling, Feng Xuefeng, Chen Qixia, Li Youran, Ai Qing, Chen Ming, Luo Feng, and Bai Lang should also be dealt with in a timely manner. Recently After the meeting, the various branches of the Writers Association adopted the method of making a big statement, and generally put forward opinions on the organization and handling of the main members of the Ding and Chen anti-party cliques at the meeting. Most of them advocated expulsion of the above-mentioned eight people from the party. It’s just that Bai Lang’s crimes are less serious than the other seven. If he turns around for the better, he can consider whether to give him probation from the party (so far, Bai Lang’s review is not good). The organization (Feng Xuefeng and Chen Ming lived the life of the party in the Ministry of Culture) considered these opinions and recently convened a general branch meeting or a branch meeting to make a resolution, and then reported it to the higher-level party committee for approval. 3. Regarding the work of Ding Ling and other eight people, we are also preparing Handle it. Our preliminary opinion is: revoke Ding Ling's vice chairman of the Writers Association, member of the National Federation of Literary and Art Circles, members of the National Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and people's representatives; Feng Xuefeng's vice chairman of the Writers Association, president of the People's Literature Publishing House, and people's representatives; Director of Hemei Association, "Poetry Magazine" and editorial board members; Director of Bai Lang's Writers' Association and people's representative; directors of Chen Qixia and Luo Feng's Writers' Association; teacher of Li Youran's Literature Workshop; Chen Ming's screenwriter of Beijing Film Studio. Feng Xuefeng's is retained Members of the All-China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, directors of the Writers Association; directors of Ding Ling’s Writers Association. Then, according to each individual’s situation, let them go down to train and reform to continue writing or supervise production, or assign work separately.”

The "Report" mentioned that "rightists inside and outside the Party of the Writers Association accounted for 6.8% of the total number of people participating in the struggle, and rightists within the Party accounted for 55% of the total number of rightists." On January 9 of the following year, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China forwarded this report, arguing that "the points stated in the report are correct." On the afternoon of December 6, the General Party Branch of the Chinese Writers Association held a meeting and unanimously approved the expulsion of Ding Ling from the Party. On the afternoon of December 20th, the general party branch meeting was held, which unanimously passed the expulsion of Chen Qixia, Li Youran, and Ai Qing from the party.As for Bai Lang, who was mentioned in the report of the Writers Association's party group as "the crime is relatively minor, if it turns into a good one, you can consider whether to give him a punishment of probation in the party", but he still failed to escape his bad luck. On December 25, Guo Xiaochuan recorded in his diary: " Bai Yu and Mo Han came to talk about Bai Lang's handling, and finally decided to expel his party membership and revoke his representative." No one can escape.

As Ding Ling's deputy to the National People's Congress, Mao Zedong already had something to say, so he definitely couldn't be appointed. At the Fifth Session of the First National People's Congress held in February 1958, the Committee for Delegate Qualifications Review found that 38 people "had lost the legal basis for continuing to perform their duties as deputies to the National People's Congress and should not attend this session." Among them was Ding Ling.Feng Xuefeng and Jiang Feng were among the 16 people who were "formally disqualified by the original electoral unit before the meeting".

In December, the Chinese Writers Association held three conferences to criticize Kang Zhuo, and the general party branch conference announced the punishment of Lu Fei, Li Na and others. On February 5, 2002, when the author visited Li Na, he talked about the anti-rightist struggle of the Writers Association in 1957. Li Na said: Liu Baiyu is very powerful. Talk to me and say, do you still look like a soldier?You are the same as Xiao San, the longer you are in the party, the more backward your thinking is!Everyone passed my review at the writers branch meeting, but Liu Baiyu said it was no good, so I have to warm it up. Don’t think that you can’t be expelled from the party just because you are backward in thinking!When the anti-rightist struggle was coming to an end, Liu Baiyu talked to me again and said, Comrade Deng Xiaoping said that the Ding-Chen anti-party clique is only divided into seven members and cannot expand any more. Otherwise, you guys (referring to Li Na, Lu Fei, Factory residents and those who are closely related to Ding Ling) must be classified as rightists.

Zhang Xi said: At that time, the Writers Association considered not only current issues, but also historical issues, life style issues, etc. when the Writers Association defined rightists. question.The procedure is this: first, the party branch submits someone’s material, and then reports to the Writers’ Association party group for discussion. As long as the branch submits the report, it is basically listed, unless the leader of a certain party group insists not to be listed.Zhang Xi also said that Zhou Yang can have the final say on some things, but sometimes it doesn't work.For example, Zhou Yang said: "Ai Qing is such a person, he likes to say strange things, can we not mark it?" But Ai Qing still marked the rightist.Zhou Yang said: "Bai Lang still wrote a lot of good things and did a lot of things in the women's world." After the meeting, Liu Baiyu talked to her and asked her to draw a clear line with Luo Feng. Bai Lang said: "Luo Feng and I agree. of!" So he also marked the right wing.Shu Qun originally wanted to be classified as a rightist, but Zhou Yang firmly disagreed, and Shu Qun escaped the catastrophe.Since Ding Ling is an executive member of the All-China Women's Federation, she heard that Deng Yingchao and Kang Keqing had said some kind words, but it didn't work.
