Pan Guangfu and Chai Jianmin sat in the sleeper car, and Zhou Jianguo chatted with Pan Guangfu and Chai Jianmin about the investigation of the "May 16 Counter-revolutionary Group" movement during the Cultural Revolution. He also talked about the "one hit, three anti" campaign. "One hit, three antis" campaign and

The campaign to investigate the "May 16 Counter-Revolutionary Group" was carried out simultaneously.

The "One Strike, Three Antis" movement was a political movement that was launched throughout the country during the Cultural Revolution, starting with the "Instructions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Combating Counter-Revolutionary and Sabotage Activities" issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on January 30, 1970. Combat counter-revolutionary sabotage activities, oppose corruption and theft, oppose speculation, and oppose extravagance and waste. At that time, this document was called Central Document No. 3, but it was clearly stated: This document was only sent to the core leadership at the provincial and military levels. Broadcast and output files. The documents against corruption and theft, against speculation and against extravagance and waste are No. 5 and No. 6 documents respectively. The center of gravity of the movement lies in "fighting", that is, "strikes against counter-revolutionary and sabotage activities".

Under the guidance of the "Left" ideology at that time, under the implementation of the "Six Public Security Points" and the faction in power in many areas, this movement created many unjust, false and wrong cases, such as Cai Tiegen, Yu Luoke (rehabilitated after the Cultural Revolution and sentenced Zhang Zhixin was sentenced to life imprisonment on August 20, 1970 for the crime of "current counter-revolution".

According to statistics, by the end of November 1970, more than 1.84 million "traitors", "secret agents" and "counter-revolutionaries" had been dug out across the country, and more than 284,800 people of various kinds had been approved to be arrested, of whom more than 9,000 were sentenced to death .

There are also a large number of people who were not sentenced to death but were forced to commit suicide. For example, 14 people committed suicide in Guide County, Qinghai City; Nanhui County, Shanghai City "resulted in 62 unnatural deaths"; 188 people died”; “169 people committed suicide in the Hechi area”.

When sentencing, organize the "revolutionary masses" to study the documents and discuss whether counter-revolutionaries should be shot, which is regarded as implementing the policy of "dictatorship is the dictatorship of the masses". However, the "Supreme Instructions" in the notice stated that "all counter-revolutionaries will be resolutely suppressed", and those included in the list are "a group of active counter-revolutionaries". The point of discussion is not whether they are counter-revolutionaries, but whether they should be shot or not. "Revolutionary masses" can also be transformed into "counter-revolutionaries" without expressing revolutionary indignation against counter-revolutionaries, so everyone can only agree with "shooting". The crimes of these sentenced persons include: "attacking the great leader Chairman Mao", "claiming grievances for Liu Shaoqi", "attacking Comrade Jiang Qing", "attacking provincial and municipal heads", "demanding religious activities", far-fetched or even fabricated, etc. wait.

Before being executed by shooting, the "current counter-revolutionaries" were divided into groups, dragged in shackles and handcuffs every day, and were taken to various ten thousand people's meetings to fight and show the public. All units want to push the "one attack, three antis" to a climax, so they have to borrow these live targets to "educate the masses."

In March 1970, the authorities in Changsha, Hunan Province held two mass murder meetings, executing nearly 100 prisoners each time, more than half of whom were political prisoners. In the summer of the same year, Nanjing City executed "current counter-revolutionaries" in two batches. Each batch of 24 people (including two or three criminals). In order to prevent political prisoners from shouting slogans indiscriminately and causing bad political influence, "silencing methods" such as strangling the throat with hemp rope, plugging the mouth with bamboo tube, tongue depressor, and cutting the throat were adopted. The list of death sentences with red ticks in the densely announced death sentence gives people a terrifying impression. 85 people were killed during the campaign in Luoping County, Yunnan Province, and 7 people were killed in 2 minutes in Guishan Township as an experience introduction.

Sitting in the sleeper car, Zhou Jianguo and Chai Jianmin chatted with Pan Guangfu and Chai Jianmin about the investigation of the "May 16 Counter-Revolutionary Group" and the "One Attack Three Anti" movement during the Cultural Revolution. He seemed a little excited.

Zhou Jianguo said: My father was a victim of this movement. At that time, my father lived in Hefei. On August 16, 1968, the Hefei Municipal Revolutionary Committee planned to sentence 33 people to the case of a counter-revolutionary group. My father was convicted of this counter-revolutionary group. one of the criminals. Four of them, including the first offender, Shen Zhirui, were sentenced to death.

Zhou Jianguo sighed and said: On February 16, 1970, Shen Zhirui was shot and executed in Hefei City during the one-strike and three-anti movement. As for the first criminals, Gu Zhongliang, Pan Fuxin, and Bu Jinlong, the situation is unknown. The "One Attack, Three Antis" movement started with the "Instructions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Cracking Down on Counter-revolutionary and Sabotage Activities" issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on January 30, 1970. Only half a month later, the killing spree took place in Hefei. In March, the authorities in Changsha, Hunan Province held two mass murder meetings, executing nearly 100 prisoners each time.
