Chapter 41 Chapter Twenty Two

On April 29, 1971, a frail old man in the emergency operating room of Beijing Hospital was tortured by severe chest pain. He slowly raised his eyelids, wanted to say something, but closed his eyes without saying anything...Li Siguang, a generation of celebrity , The last moment of his life was spent on the painful operating table. Li Siguang died of illness suddenly at the most glorious moment of his political career.At that time, outsiders, especially those in geosciences, did not guess that even he himself claimed that he could live for at least six or seven years. But he died, suddenly and peacefully.

However, the external society at that time was still not peaceful, and the academic and political struggles in the field of geosciences were still full of gunpowder. As for the personal evaluation of Li Siguang, there are different opinions in the field of geology.Twelve years after Li Siguang's death, Yin Zanxun, another well-known geologist in his eighties, looked back on the past in the field of geology when he knew that his life was coming to an end, and wrote an untitled poem in old style with seven rhythms. People aftertaste! Yin Zanxun can be regarded as the veteran of Chinese geosciences after Zhang, Ding, Weng, and Li.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li Siguang's first deputy as an official was him. At that time, Yin Zanxun served as the first deputy director of the China Geological Work Planning Steering Committee.Later, he served as a member of the Central Committee and Standing Committee of the Jiusan Society, the vice president of the Beijing Institute of Geology, and the director of the Department of Biology and Geosciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.The old man has been upright all his life, never one school or another, so his comments on Li Siguang can also be said to represent the views of some people to a certain extent.

The original version was clear and the source was written to Deng Xiaoping twice; Huang Jiqing threw a stone into the sea and caused a thousand waves.At the Science Conference, the order of the heroes is set, and the end result is determined by one paper... Huang Jiqing never expected that he would come back alive from the pig farm of Jiangxi May 7th Cadre School.He joked that he wanted to thank Lin Biao, because if Deputy Commander Lin survived, his old bones might be buried in the land of Xiajiang. In the spring of 1972, Huang Jiqing, a well-known scientific master who had been a pig house for four years, returned to Beijing.When he and his wife staggered out of the station with the support of their children, the master squinted his eyes and couldn't stop talking vaguely.

"Father, it's a blessing that you come back alive, so stop talking about the past. Ah, the body is the first..." The children kept persuading them while wiping away their tears. "Huh? I'm fine, I'm singing!" The master suddenly stopped and pulled his wife to his side: "Ask your mother if you don't believe me." "Really?" The children were overjoyed. His wife Chen Chuanjun nodded with a wry smile. "Come, let's sing together." This time the master's pronunciation was very clear: The right hand of the hammer is on the back, and it moves forward, forward, and forward.

The bigger the mountain, climb the steep mountains, and sing a song after hitting the stones. Everyone played and sang together, endless bells and songs. Go forward, go forward, go forward again, don't let the youth down! "Mom, how come you can sing?" Daughter Jiesheng was so happy that she put her arms around her mother and asked directly. Mother let out a long sigh, and a long-lost smile appeared on her face: "Thirty years ago, your father often hummed this self-made song to coax your brother!" Yes, a full thirty years.The master raised his eyes to the messy big-character posters and the red ocean, looking back on the past in his youth, he couldn't help feeling sad.At that time, I knew that science can save the country, and politics is not politics.As long as you take the hammer and pack your back, you will be thrown into nature. One day in August 1942, Huang Jiqing and colleagues Li Tao and Zeng Dingqian from the Geological Survey Institute went to Huazi Mountain, which is known as a famous mountain in Tianfu.In the evening they stayed at the fellow's house, ate a few cooked sweet potatoes early in the morning, drank a bowl of soup, and then walked up the mountain.It was noon when we reached the peak of 1500 meters.The three took out their lunch boxes and had a picnic.At this time, I heard bursts of high-pitched and melodious singing in my ears.It turned out that a group of farmers on the mountainside were singing folk songs, and the singing deeply attracted the active Huang Jiqing.Guys, I'll go back and make up a jingle, how about singing it like the folks tomorrow?Li and Zeng clapped their hands when they heard Huang Jiqing's words.That night, under the dim palm oil lamp, after sorting out the field data for the day, Huang Jiqing made up this folk song that he claimed to be a young geologist.Later, the three of them sat on the head of the bed, imitating a minor Sichuan folk song, and sang along with each other.Huang Jiqing's masterpiece was really popular among the young geological team for a while.

Nature is romantic, but reality is very obscure. Huang Jiqing's first dilemma when he returned to Beijing was that he hardly even had a minimum place to live. When he left Beijing in 1969, his family still had four houses.But this time when he returned to Beijing, he was only arranged in a hut of more than ten square meters.It seems that although swineherds are not proper, they still belong to the category of ghosts and monsters.What made him even more intolerable was that the Geotectonic Research Laboratory, which he had painstakingly managed and made important contributions to China's geological cause, was also ruthlessly revoked.

During that time, Huang Jiqing was in extreme grief and depression.He felt really old and dying.The mentors of the past are all dead, and the friends of the Geological Survey Institute who traveled the world together in the past are also dead, old and old, and few of them are useful.I am a researcher of earth sciences, and now although I am not a swineherd, I still want a job but no job, a job but no job, an assistant but no assistant... Well, what's the point of living for such a thing?There is a saying that life at seventy is rare since ancient times.Yes, I'm also seventy, and it's time to go to heaven to meet Zhang, Ding, Weng and Mr. Li.Not too much, compared to Xie Jiarong and his friends, I have spent seven or eight years in vain!

The master was desperate and numb.One morning, without greeting anyone, he walked to Yuyuantan Lake alone on crutches—— Dear listeners, we are now broadcasting a long commentary article published on the front page of the People's Daily. The title is "Independence, Strikingly Progressing and Commenting on the Development of China's Science and Technology Industry"... The tweeter beside the road is broadcasting news and newspaper summaries. What are you listening to, every day is fake!The master used to have the habit of listening to the news, but today he didn't want to listen to it, it was useless, and it was useless to listen to it.He quickened his pace, trying to get rid of the sound of the horn chasing his ears.But hell, the more he tried to get rid of it, the more he couldn't get rid of it...

On the front of my country's science and technology, it is often heard to name scientific research achievements in terms of fighting spirit and glory.Each of these names has an unusual history, and they all contain the Chinese people's ambition to develop science and technology independently and through self-reliance. The discovery of rich oil resources underground in our country is also inseparable from such striving and glory... Ok?Talk about looking for oil!Listen, listen to what they have to say.The master's feet stopped suddenly. For many years, imperialism and revisionism have been spreading the theory that China is poor in oil.Their experts and authoritative conclusions say that most of the known oil fields are in marine formations, while most of China is in continental formations, so it is impossible to store oil with industrial exploitation value.According to this conclusion, China can only live on foreign oil forever.my country's outstanding scientist Li Siguang and young geologists do not believe this.They said with confidence: Oil is like a prodigal son, running around underground.Although it is hard to find, there are always rules to explore.We have to go our own way and rely on our own strength to find it out!According to the characteristics of my country's geological structure, Li Siguang used the method of geomechanics to study the law of crustal movement, and believed that the subsidence zone of my country's Neo-Cathaysian tectonic system has good oil generation and oil storage conditions.Based on this brand-new theory, he sharply pointed out that it is metaphysical to say that China is poor in oil, and it is too early to draw conclusions...

Listen, it's the omnipotent geomechanics again!The master sighed to the sky: We are all metaphysics! Under the guidance of the idea of ​​independence and self-reliance, Chinese geologists are determined to run forward and be good scouts for the development of oil for the motherland.In a few years, they fought north and south. According to the theory proposed by Li Siguang, they did a lot of geophysical exploration work on the vast land, drilled thousands of wells at one go, launched a large-scale oil survey, and discovered Many prospective areas for oil storage have preliminarily proved that my country has abundant natural oil resources.However, the road to finding oil cannot be smooth sailing.There is an area in the subsidence zone of the New China tectonic system, and it stands to reason that oil should be found.Since the influence of China's oil-poor theory has not been completely eliminated in the minds of some comrades, the oil-free foreign frame in this area will not be broken. Therefore, in the first few years, I searched and searched, but there was no gain.Some comrades were discouraged and even proposed to abandon this area. As a result, the oil census work in this area was started and stopped several times in a few years.However, the oil census workers believed in their geological science, and they insisted on calling back to their hometowns to find them again.The workers' opinions were enthusiastically supported by Li Siguang.He said, Comrade workers are right, we want to fight back to our hometown, this slogan is very meaningful.As early as more than 800 years ago, Shen Kuo, a scientist in the Song Dynasty, discovered oil in our country, and said: Oil is the most abundant, and it was born in the earth without a sky.Today, we live in the era of socialism, with such superior conditions, we must make up our minds to chew on this hard bone.Then, based on a large amount of field observation data, he talked about the mountains, rivers and waters of this area, the geological structure of every highland and every valley, and pointed out where to drill.The census team went back to their hometown according to the new deployment. As a result, they found a large oil field in just one year.

The scouts from various census teams reported the good news to Chairman Mao and the Party Central Committee one after another: the Daqing oil field was discovered, the Dagang oil field was discovered, and the Shengli field was discovered-one new oil field after another was discovered... No, no no!not like this!They are lying again!It's endless!The master angrily jabbed the concrete floor with his cane.No, I have to explain the truth about the discovery of oil fields in Daqing, Dagang, Shengli, etc. to the people of the whole country, otherwise, this matter will be filled with grievances through the ages!Liu Yi was beaten to death!Xie Jiarong committed suicide!Back then, I was the only person in charge of the general committee. If I don't tell the truth, who else can tell the truth!I can't die!I can't let the people of the whole country, the generations to come, and Chairman Mao and his elders be kept in the dark and listen to lies.I want to say, even if you have a sigh of relief, you must tell the truth about the discovery in Daqing Oilfield!This is not my personal matter, this is history, which is the history of a generation of oil seekers with their lives and painstaking efforts.If I don’t say it, I’m guilty, but I’m sorry for many scientists, colleagues and friends who have died like Xie Jiarong! The master turned back angrily, and his steps became extremely powerful.He wants to live until he can explain the matter of Daqing Oilfield thoroughly and thoroughly! He survived until October when the Gang of Four was crushed with a thunderous spring. He survived, and lived to the spring when chaos was righted and science and knowledge were respected. "Father, I have good news for you: Comrade Xiaoping finally came out!" "Really? Show me! Quick!" Huang Jiqing snatched the newspaper from his son, and as he looked at it, hot tears burst out like beads with broken strings... So many years of grievances, so many years of accumulated worries, all rushed to his heart at this moment. That night, the master tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.At two o'clock in the morning, he simply got up.He opened the window and looked at the moonlit sky in the distance, his heart was surging.He thought a lot, yes, the country has suffered so many years of catastrophe, and all industries are waiting for prosperity.However, if China is to revitalize, science and technology and knowledge are the most important. However, for more than a decade, under the power of Lin Biao and the Gang of Four, one family in the science and technology circles and the intellectual circles said that the phenomenon of fake big empty is too serious; The enthusiasm of the vast number of scientific and technological personnel and intellectuals has been severely dampened... All of these things should be brought out of order. Huang Jiqing thought about it, and couldn't help but spread out a stack of manuscript papers, and opened the heart of a patriotic scientist to his respected and familiar old superior, Deng Xiaoping... The youngest son, Huang Yusheng, told me that after his father's letter was issued, Deng Xiaoping quickly issued important instructions, emphasizing that the scientific and technological circles, including the cultural and art circles, must implement the "Double Hundred" policy.Although this instruction was not conveyed to Huang himself, the thousands of new scenes that emerged in the intellectual circles of science and technology, culture, and education, especially the National Science Conference chaired by Deng Xiaoping shortly thereafter, have something to do with Huang Jiqing’s letter. Relationship. It is worth mentioning that Huang Jiqing’s own question was also personally intervened by Fang Yi, then vice premier and director of the State Science and Technology Commission, and Sun Daguang, director of the State Administration of Geology (the General Administration was later changed to the Ministry of Geology, with Sun Daguang as the minister). He was completely rehabilitated and resumed his post as vice president of the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences more than ten years ago, and his tectonic research laboratory was reorganized.The master's family finally ended their crowded life in a chicken coop and moved into the Sanlihe Minister Building. At that time, under the direct leadership and personal care and intervention of the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries such as Deng Xiaoping and Ye Jianying, the nationwide efforts to rectify the chaos made the Cultural Revolution and many major problems left over from history to be rectified. Huang Jiqing was impatient. He thought of the grievances and grievances concerning the discovery of the Daqing Oilfield over the years, right and wrong, and it was time to make it clear to the party and the people of the whole country.So on January 11, 1978, another letter was sent to Deng Xiaoping (so Fang Yi was asked to forward the letter to Deng, and Fang Yi was also one of the recipients).I only got this letter when I was about to finish this article, and it is also an extremely important and precious document of the master. In it, he not only explained the problems discovered in the Daqing Oilfield, but also involved his understanding of Li Siguang and his theory of geomechanics. view.In the field of geology, it is still widely rumored that Li Siguang and Huang Jiqing are old rivals. To prevent false rumors, I have copied the full text of Huang’s letter to Deng Xiaoping and Fang Yi here for readers to understand more clearly.I would like to make a point here: due to understandable historical reasons, the words "Wise Leader Chairman Hua" were written in four places in the letter, and I have omitted it. The rest of the text is as follows: The letter was quickly transferred to Deng Xiaoping's hands.Judging from the date, in addition to the necessary procedures in the middle, it is almost a step up to the sky.After Huang Jiqing finished writing the letter on January 11, he asked his son Li Yusheng to copy and sign his name on the same day, and the next day, accompanied by his son, he personally sent it to the State Science and Technology Commission for relevant people to submit to Fang Yi. After Fang Yi circled it on the 15th, he forwarded it to Deng's Office. On the 18th, Deng Xiaoping saw the letter and made important instructions: If possible, it is best to understand and clarify the problem. This instruction from Deng was given to Yu Qiuli and Kang Shien, the two vice-premiers who were in charge of the Planning Commission and the oil industry at the time. Yu Qiuli transferred the instructions to Yuan Baohua, Sun Daguang and others. Because it was a matter of the geological department, it finally fell on the head of the State Geological Administration at that time.Sun Daguang attached great importance to this, and ordered relevant parties to organize forces to quickly investigate and understand according to Deng Xiaoping's instructions. In the end, this matter was implemented to the Petroleum Group of the General Administration of Geology, that is, the Petroleum Bureau.
