Wake up（311）

If Mao Zedong is the spear and Deng Xiaoping is the shield, then if the contradictions are consistent with the outside world, you can either advance or defend. However, conflicts lead to infighting, the spear can advance, but the shield cannot defend. Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping are a combination of contradictions.

Li Si said to his friends:

Mao Zedong had already raised his spear, while Deng Xiaoping had taken up his shield, but it was already difficult for him to resist.

On September 27, 1975, Mao Yuanxin reported to Mao Zedong the situation in Liaoning Province and his own views on the situation, believing that there was a tendency in society to deny the "Cultural Revolution".

Although it was Mao Yuanxin who reported "his own views on the situation", is it strange that Mao Zedong's views were not reflected? The members of the Mao family started to act, and began to fight back against Deng Xiaoping. Mao Yuanxin is right. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is a tendency to deny the "Cultural Revolution" in society. In fact, except for a small group of people who benefit from the Cultural Revolution, who does not deny the Cultural Revolution!

On September 27, 1975, Deng Xiaoping attended the National Symposium on Rural Work. He still emphasized: At present, there is a problem of rectification in all aspects. Through rectification, we must solve rural problems, solve factory problems, solve scientific and technological problems, and solve problems in various fields.

Deng Xiaoping also intentionally pointed the finger at Jiang Qing and the literary and art circles. He said: The problem of splitting Mao Zedong Thought has not actually been resolved. For example, in the policy of literature and art, Comrade Mao Zedong said that the past should serve the present, the foreign should serve China, let a hundred flowers bloom, and weed out the old to bring forth the new. It's very complete. However, now let a hundred flowers bloom, there is no more, this is a split. I am afraid that in quite a few fields, there are problems of how to comprehensively study, publicize, and implement Mao Zedong Thought.

Deng Xiaoping also said: If you cannot hear the wind, it is rain.

"If you can't hear the wind, it's the rain" obviously refers to Mao Zedong's criticism of "Water Margin", especially Jiang Qing's "overhead Chairman Mao" and so on. Deng Xiaoping's words and deeds during the rectification clearly pointed to Mao Zedong's basic principles and policies of the "Cultural Revolution".

Deng Xiaoping's method of keeping a low profile is to trap Mao's shield with Mao's spear. How could Lao Mao not feel it?

On September 30, 1975, Deng Xiaoping submitted the revised "Outline of the Work Report of the Academy of Sciences" to Mao Zedong. Mao Zedong expressed dissatisfaction after reading it, and specifically pointed out that the sentence "science and technology are productive forces" quoted in the document had never been mentioned.

Did Mao Zedong actually say this sentence? If it has not been mentioned, why is the "Outline" written in this way? Is Lao Mao just "dissatisfied" after reading the "Outline"?

In late September 1975, Minister of Education Zhou Rongxin presided over the drafting of the "Outline of Education Work Report" based on Deng Xiaoping's spirit of "rectification of culture and education".

On October 3, 1975, Deng Xiaoping attended the meeting of the Political Research Office of the State Council to discuss the contents of the fifth volume of "Selected Works of Mao Zedong", emphasizing the need to study the documents of the Fourth Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in 1954.

During the meal, Deng Xiaoping expressed his dissatisfaction with criticizing the "capitalist roaders" in the movie "Spring Seedlings" that he had watched the night before. The movie "Spring Seedlings" is a movie that Jiang Qing and others affirm. When talking about the drama "A Thousand Rivers and a Thousand Mountains", he said: "A Thousand Rivers and a Thousand Mountains" has been abused and cannot find a good theater performance. It seems that at this time Deng Xiaoping has not yet surrendered, and "A Thousand Rivers and Thousand Mountains" may be regarded as a "model play" by Deng Xiaoping.

On October 5, 1975, Deng Xiaoping read and rewritten by Hu Qiaomu, and submitted to the State Council and the Political Bureau of the Central Committee in the name of the Interim Leading Group of the Department of Philosophy and Social Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on the 4th of this month. I intend to approve it, and I ask the chairman for instructions." On the 6th, Mao Zedong also wrote on the request report after reading it: "Please circulate the comrades of the Politburo to retreat Hu Qiaomu."

     On October 5, 1975, Wang Hongwen sent a letter to Deng Xiaoping, Zhang Chunqiao, Ji Dengkui and reported it to Mao Zedong. In the letter, he wrote: "I put forward some opinions on some problems in Zhejiang's current implementation of the Central Committee's No. 16 Document, especially on the The Provincial Party Committee's proposal of "letting go and mobilizing the masses to criticize bourgeois faction" puts forward some different views. I think that from top to bottom in Zhejiang, especially when the main leading comrades of the province and the main leading comrades of the prefectures and counties all have bourgeois faction , raising such a slogan would mess up the situation.”

On October 7, 1975, Deng Xiaoping read Wang Hongwen's letter and wrote a comment: On mobilizing the masses to criticize the factionalism of the bourgeoisie, I think the Provincial Party Committee's approach is correct, and it is not appropriate to criticize the Provincial Party Committee inappropriately. If there is no support for the provincial party committee, the situation in Zhejiang, which has just improved for more than a month, is bound to be repeated, which is very unfavorable.

It is not difficult to see that Deng Xiaoping and Wang Hongwen are fighting tit for tat. Wang Hongwen was clearly looking for faults with Deng Xiaoping. On the same day, according to the spirit of Deng Xiaoping's many speeches during the leadership rectification period and the relevant documents of the CPC Central Committee, the first draft of "On the General Outline of the Work of the Party and the Country" drafted by the Political Research Office of the State Council was completed.

Li Si said another thing to his friends:

On October 13, 1975, Liu Bing and others jointly asked Deng Xiaoping to forward a letter to Mao Zedong, exposing Chi Qun and Xie Jingyi's attacks on central leadership comrades and illegal organizational activities. This letter was delivered by Hu Qiaomu to Deng Xiaoping, and Deng Xiaoping forwarded it to Mao Zedong.

Xie Jingyi belongs to Lao Mao. If the target of her "attack" is Deng Xiaoping, the reason is easy to guess. Deng Xiaoping actually wanted to forward this letter, and he still wanted to fight for it.

On the evening of October 19, 1975, after Mao Zedong met with the wife of Traore, the head of state of the Republic of Mali, and other guests, he talked with Li Xiannian, who accompanied the meeting, and criticized the letter forwarded by Deng Xiaoping to Liu Bing and others: Letter from Liu Bing and others The motive of suing Chi Qun and Xiao Xie is not pure, it is to defeat Chi Qun and Xiao Xie, and the target is aimed at me. I was in Beijing, why did the letter go through Xiaoping? The issues involved in Tsinghua are not isolated, but a reflection of the current struggle between the two lines.

The script of the play has finally begun. Mao Zedong has pointed to the title: "The current struggle between the two lines".

Li Si sighed and said:

From Jiang Qing and Zhang Chunqiao's criticism of empiricism, and later Mao's talk about "Water Margin", to Jiang Qing's saying "Deng empties Mao" in Dazhai, and Deng's challenge at the Agricultural Learning from Dazhai Conference, Mao Yuanxin reported to Mao his views on the situation, Wang Hongwen and Deng Xiaoping's blatant support of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee on the issue of mass criticism, and Chi Qun and Xie Jingyi's attacks on Deng Xiaoping at Tsinghua University, etc., are all pre-play.

From now on, the official approval of Deng will be introduced. As for the reason, you can find an excuse at will, "I am in Beijing, why should I transfer to Xiaoping?" So you can punish people, you can put people to death. Of course, it also exposed the mind of an authoritarian dictator.

On the evening of October 21, 1975, Deng Xiaoping accompanied Mao Zedong to meet Kissinger and his wife.

On October 23, 1975, according to Mao Zedong's opinion on the 19th of this month, Deng Xiaoping presided over a six-person meeting attended by Li Xiannian, Wang Dongxing, Wu De, Xie Jingyi, and Chi Qun, and conveyed Mao Zedong's message to Liu Bing of Tsinghua University with Li Xiannian and Wang Dongxing. Waiting for letters of criticism. After preliminary discussions, the meeting unanimously stated that Mao Zedong's instructions were very important, and proposed two plans on how to implement them.

Obviously, Deng Xiaoping has been in a passive position since then.

On the afternoon of October 30, 1975, Deng Xiaoping accompanied Mao Zedong to meet with the delegation led by Chancellor Schmidt of the Federal Republic of Germany.

On the evening of October 31, 1975, Deng Xiaoping wrote to Mao Zedong: "I have some matters to discuss with the chairman face to face, and obtain instructions and teachings from the chairman. Tomorrow (one day) afternoon or evening is fine."

One can imagine Deng Xiaoping's mood at that time.

1975 was a particularly important year in the Cultural Revolution. In order to let Deng Xiaoping come out to preside over the work of the Central Committee, Mao Zedong temporarily suppressed the leftists of the Cultural Revolution, and rarely proposed "to stabilize and unite" and "to improve the national economy." But what he cared most about was "learning the theory of the dictatorship of the proletariat". Mao Zedong gave Deng Xiaoping leeway to rectify China's social problems. But Mao Zedong watched Deng Xiaoping from the sidelines to see how he handled the Cultural Revolution.

On November 20, 1975, Mao Zedong hoped to give Deng Xiaoping one last chance and proposed that Deng Xiaoping preside over the formulation of a Politburo resolution evaluating the Cultural Revolution. Mao Zedong said that the Cultural Revolution achieved seven points, and three points were not enough. Deng Xiaoping refused to do so. Mao Zedong was disappointed. Deng Xiaoping was subsequently suspended from most of his jobs. On November 26, the CCP issued a notice to "counter-attack the right-leaning style of overturning verdicts".

On January 21, 1976, Mao Zedong proposed that Hua Guofeng be the acting premier of the State Council and succeed Deng Xiaoping in presiding over the daily work of the CPC Central Committee. At this point, Mao Zedong's idea of Deng Xiaoping's succession was finally shattered, and it was imperative for Deng Xiaoping to be defeated for the third time.
