Pan Guangfu accompanied Chai Jianmin to He Jiafu's house and met Li Tiandao. Mainly to say goodbye before going to Hong Kong.

Chai Jianmin chatted with He Jiafu and Li Tiandao about the Cultural Revolution again. They talked about Pan Guangfu's father, Pan Renshu. Pan Renshu was an old comrade-in-arms of He Jiafu and Chai Jianhua during the Republic of China. The difference between Pan Renshu and He Jiafu and Chai Jianhua is that he joined the People's Liberation Army and made military exploits during the civil war.

When Pan Guangfu talked about his father Pan Renshu, he recalled Pan Renshu's experience in the Cultural Revolution.

On July 18, 1966, Mao Zedong left Wuhan and returned to Beijing to direct the "Cultural Revolution".

From August 1 to 12, 1966, Mao Zedong presided over the Eleventh Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. On August 5, he wrote "Bombarding the Headquarters——One of My Big-Character Posters".

On August 12, the Plenary Session of the Central Committee closed. The Plenary Session re-elected the leadership of the Party Central Committee, and elected Mao Zedong, Lin Biao, Zhou Enlai, Tao Zhu, Chen Boda, Deng Xiaoping, Kang Sheng, Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De, Li Fuchun, and Chen Yun as members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee. Lin Biao ranked second and became Mao Zedong's successor. Although Liu Shaoqi still remains a member of the Politburo Standing Committee, he has dropped to eighth place.

From October 9th to 28th, 1966, Mao Zedong presided over the work conference of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. During the conference, he delivered many speeches. In a speech, he criticized Deng Xiaoping, saying, "Deng Xiaoping is deaf, and he sits far away from me when we have a meeting. Since 1959, he has not reported to me for 6 years. Deng Xiaoping respects me at a respectful distance." As soon as this remark came out, Deng Xiaoping collapsed, and the "Liu-Deng line" was uncovered.

This year, Mao Zedong just passed his 70th birthday. He said, "I have a gentleman's agreement with my doctor; I will not seek you when I am not sick, and you will not seek me. I said that I will not seek him for a year, and it is a great contribution to him." The energetic Mao Zedong thought day and night that he wanted to do the second most important thing in his life. He said, "The representatives of the bourgeoisie who are mixed in the party, the government, the army, and various cultural circles are a group of counter-revolutionary revisionists. Some of these figures have been seen through by us, some have not been seen through, and some They are being trusted by us and are being groomed as our successors. People like Khrushchev are now sleeping next to us."

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is all over the building. A hurricane is about to come to this land of China, and a huge torrent is about to erupt. Thunder and lightning roared, and wind and rain mixed together. The hearts of the people of all nationalities across the country have been seized, and they are in a state of fear and fear, not knowing what to do, and at a loss.

On November 13, 1966, the Beijing Workers' Stadium held a meeting of personnel from military academies and cultural and sports units coming to Beijing. At the meeting, the veterans fought resolutely against the erroneous practices of the "Cultural Revolution".

Chen Yi said, "The People's Liberation Army cannot be chaotic, it must be orderly."

Xu Xiangqian said, "Our People's Liberation Army, Navy, Army, and Air Force are always in a state of combat, and we will be able to move as soon as we give an order." Ye Jianying said, "Some cadres have suffered a heart attack and collapsed, and they still want to fight against others. I am very indignant about this! These people have no feelings for the proletariat, and they are not proletarian soldiers" (Note: Heart attack The following refers to Qiu Huizuo, Minister of the General Logistics Department).

On the eve of the storm, the Chinese People's Liberation Army was regarded as the "Great Wall" by Comrade Mao Zedong. This army is infinitely loyal to the party, to the people, and to Comrade Mao Zedong. This army escorted the "Cultural Revolution".

Pan Guangfu's father, Pan Renshu, was working in the Logistics Department of the Nanjing Military Region at that time. All the cadres, soldiers, and civilian staff of the Logistics Department worked as usual under the leadership of the Military Region Party Committee and the Logistics Party Committee. Although they were astonished and perplexed by the situation at that time and what happened, Pan Renshu and his comrades kept it in their hearts, and they did not show their expressions or dare to discuss it. According to the regulations of the General Political Department, every morning to work and afternoon to study, and only to read newspapers, and not to organize discussions. Pan Renshu said that this method of political learning is called "positive education". However, the military does not live in a vacuum, it is not transcendent. Every move of the society and the country must be reflected in the army.

The family members and children of the army have already mobilized. Those who participated in the Red Guards, those who participated in the Great Criticism, and those who participated in the Great Alliance, all strongly shocked this people's army. Members of the army must respond to this unprecedented event, which is independent of human will.

Pan Renshu and his comrades were still involved in this political movement, and even Pan Guangfu, the sons of soldiers, were the same.

In the past few years, our young people seem to have been creating new words, from "Buddha" to "mourning", from "roll" to "lying", the degree is getting deeper and deeper. Recently, a "Master of Lying Flat Learning" was born, and successfully pushed "Lying Flat Learning" out of the circle, setting off a huge wave.

A netizen named "Well-intentioned Tourist" published a post titled "Lying flat is justice", and his words were full of philosophical thoughts. He said, "Lying flat is my wise man's sport. Only lying flat is the measure of all things." According to this netizen's sharing, he has no fixed job in the past two years, does not work, eats two meals a day, and spends 200+ a month , Go fishing, swimming, and exercising when you have nothing to do.

The master of lying down chooses a slow-paced, low-desire, and return-to-self life of lying down to fight against this society. Young people are carnivaling: "As long as I lie down fast enough, capital will not be able to exploit me", "Society is sinister, it is respectful to lie down first", "Lie down is a non-violent non-cooperation movement for young people". For a time, "Lie Flat Learning" became popular all over the Internet.

Pan Guangfu said, "The people who lie flat" think: "Why do you want to find some excitement for an existence that is obviously meaningless?"

But as much as the back waves admire, the former waves will respond as much. In this Chinese nation that promotes the traditional virtues of industriousness, in the ardent expectations of the front waves for the back waves, what kind of philosophy is lying flat, at best, it is lazy, cowardly, self-motivated, and poisonous chicken soup. The Chinese nation is a fighting nation. Ever since, we have also seen the Chinese party media vigorously condemning: it is shameful to lie flat.

Pan Guangfu said with a sigh, in fact, the "Lieping Learning" was not invented just now. During the Cultural Revolution, in addition to the rebels and conservatives, there were also a large number of "laying flat people". These "laying flat people" were called the peripatetic faction at the time, that is, the social group that stayed away from politics and did not care about state affairs. Of course, these people have also been vigorously condemned by the party media. I don't agree with the free and unfettered school's lying down. A good man should have ideals and achievements, be brave to take responsibility, and dare to fight. As a result, I was drawn into a brutal political campaign that, like my father, met with the same fatal fate.

Pan Guangfu smiled bitterly and said to the old man in front of him: I didn't expect history to make a joke. I, a radical in those days, have now been reduced to the group of "laying flat".
