The entanglement among Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, and Song Ping was exposed. It happened at the most sensitive moment of the Beidaihe meeting. The Hong Kong media used the news that Song Ping, the veteran of the Communist Party of China, and Hu Jintao, the former president of the Communist Party of China, lived in Beidaihe at the same time, exposing Jiang Zemin's absence from the "Beidaihe meeting" "There is another mystery.

When Liu Xiaosheng chatted with Lao Pantou and those young people, he said that Jiang Zemin had died suddenly, but those old news about Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, and Song Ping were rediscovered by the media, which became a shocking news nowadays.

Liu Xiaosheng said:

On August 11, 2014, Hong Kong's "Ming Pao" published a commentary article signed by Sun Jiaye, analyzing this year's Beidaihe meeting of the Communist Party of China. The article talked about Jiang Zemin, who was absent from the "Beidaihe meeting" alone, and Song Ping, the veteran of the Communist Party of China, and Hu Jintao, the former president of the country, who appeared together.

The article pointed out that from the perspective of the outside world, the CCP's "Beidaihe Conference" can always get a glimpse of the turbulent waves of the CCP's high-level power struggle. Jiang Zemin's absence may be difficult to explain by "ninety years old", "not suitable for swimming in the water" and "going to the beach to enjoy the sun". According to the analysis of the article, in terms of age, Song Ping is 9 years older than Jiang Zemin, nearly a hundred years old; in terms of previous positions, Hu Jintao and Jiang Zemin have the same status. Therefore, the article believes that Jiang Zemin's absence this time "marks the Jiang faction's loss of power" is considered to be the most reasonable explanation.

Liu Xiaosheng said: To understand the history of the CCP, Song Ping is also a key figure. Song Ping has a close relationship with Hu Jintao and Xi Jinping. They are all alumni of Tsinghua University, and Song Ping is called Hu Jintao's political "bole" by the outside world.

From 1972 to 1981, Song Ping served as Secretary of the Gansu Provincial Party Committee. During this period, Hu Jintao served as the director of the construction committee in Gansu, and was appreciated by Song Ping. It is reported that the idea of reusing Hu Jintao was first proposed by Song Ping and Qiao Shi at the Standing Committee of the Politburo.

Since Xi Jinping came to power at the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Hu Jintao and Song Ping have given Xi Jinping great help on how to get rid of being "listened to politics" by Jiang Zemin like Hu Jintao, and finally liquidate Jiang Zemin's "corrupt political legacy".

Nearly 100 years old, Song Ping was once the head of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and a member of the Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China.

Hong Kong's "Dongxiang" magazine reported in the August 2015 issue that before the Beidaihe meeting that year, Song Ping personally wrote to the retired former Politburo member, proposing "three chapters of the agreement": not to interfere in the preparation of the "Nineteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China" in any form ;Report the property of the individual spouse and children, family members and immediate family members retire from the senior management of economic entities; family members and children disclose their nationality and residence rights. It is said that these pose a huge threat to Jiang Zemin.

Shi Shi, a political commentator, said that Song Ping wrote a letter to the former Politburo member of the CCP before the list of members of the leading group for the preparatory work of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was announced. , the purpose is to help Xi Jinping eliminate Jiang Zemin's interference in politics. After Jiang Zemin retired, he successively intervened in the governance of Hu Jintao and Xi Jinping by placing his confidants in the top ranks of the CCP.

According to Zhengming, during the Beidaihe Conference in August 2014, Song Ping pointed the finger at Jiang Zemin when speaking on behalf of Wan Li and Qiao Shi, denouncing him as a disaster for the country and the people.

Song Ping said that the leadership of the CCP is facing "heavy pressure". At present, the CCP has three major crises of politics, system, and power, and the CCP's ruling status is also facing "severe challenges". , formed by deterioration".

During the Third Plenary Session of the Eighteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Jiang Zemin submitted a letter titled "My Opinions and Suggestions" in an attempt to continue to interfere in politics.

Song Ping and Wan Li, former chairman of the National People's Congress of the Communist Party of China, jointly signed a "Proposal for Retired Comrades", putting forward "six musts" and "six don'ts" in response to Jiang Zemin's actions.

The main contents of the "Six Essentials" are: "Be self-aware of your role and role in the individual; self-restrain your behavior and speech; consciously eliminate the sense of privilege and special status...discipline your family members and staff around you well. "

The "six don'ts" mainly include: "Don't mention old qualifications and old superiors to interfere in party and government work; don't give instructions and comments on documents and materials; don't rashly comment on whether policies and measures are correct or not; don't engage in door-to-door sectarian activities; Bureau and General Secretary send 'suggestions' and 'opinions', do not accept outside interviews and publish autobiography without approval".

In October 2014, at the symposium on the life of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China on the eve of the "Eleventh National Day", Hu Jintao suggested that Xi Jinping make a comprehensive evaluation of Jiang Zemin based on a realistic and pragmatic standpoint. Hu Jintao also listed more than 400 "suggestions" and "opinions" that Jiang Zemin submitted to the Political Bureau of the CCP from 2003 to 2012; he nominated more than 170 leaders from the Central Committee of the CCP to local and provincial leaders; Resolutions and more up to 155 items.

During the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Hu Jintao fully retired, handed over all power to Xi Jinping, and forcibly closed the office where Jiang Zemin had been involved in politics for a long time.

After Xi Jinping came to power, the Politburo of the Communist Party of China launched the "Xi Eight Points" in a high-profile way, including the prohibition of "no sending congratulatory letters, congratulatory telegrams, and no inscriptions or inscriptions." The outside world believes that the core of the "Xi Eight Points" is to inherit the two resolutions passed by Hu Jintao in October 2012, and they jointly attacked Jiang Zemin.

A comprehensive report by registrant Han Mei of Voice of Hope on October 24, 2022:

At the closing ceremony of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Hu Jintao, the former leader of the Communist Party of China, was suddenly taken away, which shocked the world and soon appeared on the pages of major media. Song Ping, another veteran of the Communist Party of China, attracted attention in another way.

105-year-old Song Ping was found to have fallen asleep in full view of everyone. He lowered his head, closed his eyes, opened his mouth slightly, and did not open the document in front of him. Even when Hu Jintao left the meeting midway, Song Ping's posture seemed to be Nothing has changed.

Previously, there were political rumors that Song Ping made a rare appearance before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and his signal of insisting on reform and opening up was a major move to support the anti-Xi faction. But judging from Song Ping's inability to finish the CCP congress soberly, the outside world's hopes for Song Ping are disillusioned.

As Professor Wu Guoguang, a senior researcher at Stanford University in the United States, said in an interview with RFA, many rumors are actually creating false hopes and pinning their hopes on the Communist Party, which is the Communist Party without Xi Jinping.

Professor Wu Guoguang also mentioned the rumors about Song Ping's rebellion against Xi. He said: A 25-year-old, 35-year-old, 45-year-old strong man allows others to bully him in his life. In the control of the CCP virus epidemic, no matter how bullied others are, he does not resist. He only dreams of a 105-year-old grandpa. Come to save the party, come to save you, in the final analysis, this 105-year-old grandpa who doesn’t know who his family is, even if he is capable, he will not save you. He is saving their own grandson.

In addition, two days after the conclusion of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, speculation about why Hu Jintao was taken away is still ongoing.

British BBC analyzed that the timing of Hu Jintao's departure was ingenious. Hu Jintao attended the closed-door meeting beforehand, but was taken away suddenly after the conference allowed the cameras to enter and set them up. The BBC believes that the two most likely reasons for Hu Jintao's departure are that he has serious health problems, and the other is that those in power want to use this gesture to symbolically remove a leader representing the old era.

Political and economic scholar He Qinglian does not agree with the conjecture that Hu Jintao was taken away for anti-Xi. She tweeted that it is difficult to change a person's personality. When Hu Jintao was in power, he was always cautious, for fear of making a wrong step. Now that he has abdicated for many years, he has to fight hard. What is he trying to do? Hu Jintao handed over all positions, especially the important position of Chairman of the Military Commission, to Xi Jinping at one time, so that Xi Jinping could later centralize power. This kindness has always been remembered by Xi Jinping.

He Qinglian believed that Hu Jintao was in poor health and asked him to leave early because he was worried about the situation, but Hu Jintao wanted to hold on.

What happened before Hu Jintao was taken away?

What is intriguing is that the time when Hu Jintao was taken away at the closing ceremony of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China coincided with the moment when the venue was open to foreign journalists.

Singaporean media Channel NewsAsia released an exclusive video clip two days after the incident, showing the world more details of the scene before Hu Jintao was taken away for the first time.

The video shows Li Zhanshu, chairman of China's National People's Congress, on Hu Jintao's left and Xi Jinping on his right.

In the new video, Hu Jintao has apparently opened the red folder, but just as he is viewing the document, Li Zhanshu, sitting to his left, takes the document away from him and puts the red cover on top .

Hu Jintao looked confused, and Li Zhanshu seemed to be explaining something when talking with him, until Kong Shaoxun, deputy director of the General Office of the Communist Party Central Committee, walked up to Xi Jinping and obeyed Xi Jinping's brief explanation.

Kong Shaoxun is considered a confidant of Xi Jinping. After he left for a while, a security guard came to Hu Jintao, and Xi Jinping explained a few more words to him.

Afterwards, a scene that caught the attention of the whole world occurred: after a brief exchange, a security guard stepped forward, lifted the elderly Hu Jintao from his chair, and tried to take him away.

But Hu Jintao appeared to be trying to hold on to his chair, during a two-minute standoff in which he apparently tried to refuse to let the guards take him away.

He also tried to reach out and touch the red folder in front of Xi Jinping, but was stopped by the general secretary.

Finally, Kong Shaoxun reappeared. The people in the audience couldn't hear what they were talking about, but Hu Jintao looked puzzled, as if he was reluctantly taken off the stage.

Liu Xiaosheng said: How to interpret it?

Chinese state media said Hu Jintao left the scene due to health reasons. But his body language in several refusals led many foreign journalists and observers to believe he had been taken forcibly. The incident put Hu Jintao's name in trending searches on Twitter starting Saturday, the first time for a former Chinese leader, and the platform is blocked in China.

Many people believe that this incident is a very rare display of the CCP's inner-party struggle. But many prominent China experts believe the comments are overinterpreted.

Henry Gao, a law professor at Singapore Management University, said the experience had to be read alongside Xi's harsh criticism of the Hu Jintao era in his report to the 20th Party Congress. “Given the level of orchestration at the party congress, it is no coincidence that all party representatives and the media were allowed to see it,” Dr Gao said.

Dr. Teng Biao believes that Chinese politics has always been a "black box operation", and many "Zhongnanhai listeners" tend to over-interpret any "clues" they observe. Dr. Teng Biao said that although people can clearly see that Hu Jintao was taken away, it is difficult for the outside world to know the reason behind it.

"Although Xi Jinping has completely changed the direction of policies formulated by Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao, it is still impossible to regard high-level personnel arrangements and power struggles as the only or most important part of Chinese politics," Dr. Teng Biao said.

  "What we want to see are structural changes, including changes in the international situation, people's thinking, and people's resistance.

  "All kinds of speculation about top officials could actually be a distraction."

When Hu Jintao was taken away, 105-year-old Song Ping, who was present at the meeting, seemed to be asleep. He lowered his head, closed his eyes tightly, and opened his mouth slightly. Song Ping didn't seem to have opened the file in front of him.

Surprisingly, even when Hu Jintao was forced to leave the venue, Song Ping's sleeping position did not change at all.

Hu Jintao was Song Ping's old subordinate, so Song Ping immediately became the focus of hot searches on the Internet.

As of August 2023, Song Ping is one of the only three living members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the 13th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the other two being Hu Qili and Li Ruihuan, both after Wang Dongxing died on August 21, 2015 , Song Ping became the oldest living former member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.

Song Ping's works are mainly "Selected Works of Song Ping on Party Construction" published by the Central Literature Publishing House in 2000.

Song Ping's family structure is relatively simple:

Song Ping's wife, Chen Shunyao, was born in Jinan, Shandong. She was a member of the Seventh CPPCC National Committee, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Tsinghua University of the Communist Party of China, and a member and consultant of the Research Office of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

Song Ping's eldest son is Song Yichang, born in 1948. Born in Ju County, Shandong Province, he is a popular science writer and military literature writer in China. He once went to the countryside to join the team to work in agriculture, and studied in the Department of Automatic Control of Northwestern Polytechnical University. He has worked as a foreign language data officer at Gansu Science and Technology Information Institute, editor and deputy editor of Science Publishing House. In 1978 began to publish works. Joined the Chinese Writers Association in 1986.

Song Ping's second son is Song Yichun, born in 1954. Born in Ju County, Shandong Province, started working in 1970. From December 1970 to 1975, he worked in the Lanzi 131 Unit of the People’s Liberation Army. In 1975, he transferred to work in Gansu TV Station. From 1976 to 1980, he studied in Beijing Broadcasting Institute. In 1983, he worked in Beijing Broadcasting Institute. Stay on as a teacher after graduation. He has been appointed as a lecturer, associate professor, and professor successively. He has successively served as the deputy director of the Management Department of Beijing Broadcasting Institute, the deputy dean of the School of Engineering, and the assistant to the dean. In November 1999, he was transferred to China Central Television as the deputy chief engineer.

Liu Xiaosheng said to Lao Pantou: Recently, it was reported on the Internet that Hu Jintao died, and the central government has not released the news yet. But Song Ping is still alive, maybe it won't be long before Song Ping will also become a popular Internet celebrity.

Walking along the criss-crossing fields of life, you may see falling flowers and decaying grass hovering around, or passing through the flowing water of elms and willows. But in China, there are too many ups and downs and tribulations. The hardships of many people have made them lose their bright youth. The storms have washed away the persistence of faith. Life is just a dream. Even if you are on the center of the historical stage, It is only a supporting role, and the show ends at the end of the play, and it is impossible for any character to occupy the stage forever.

Lao Pantou said to Liu Xiaosheng:

Thank you for telling us about the tangled history of the past, the high-level power struggles in the past. I used to always think that I was a failure of the society. I was abandoned by this society long ago. In all the vigorous political movements, I was an insignificant but obedient little person. After listening to your narration, I suddenly looked back and found that my life was full of hardships. It turns out that spring has turned into rain. I chose to stay away from politics and live a grassroots life of ordinary people. This is the best choice in life.

Nan Yangsheng said to Liu Xiaosheng: Mr. Liu is a senior media person. Your words opened the ignorant hearts of our young people, made me rethink the world and society, and made us rethink our own future.

Wanru said to Liu Xiaosheng: I discussed with Nanyang Sheng and decided to leave here and return to Hong Kong. Maybe only in Hong Kong can I find my own life, at least I won't be tied up by those political entanglements. Mrs. Pan is taken care of by Nan Liwa, so we are very relieved.

Liu Xiaosheng said with a smile: young people should light a bright light for themselves, not for pious worship to Buddha, but only for taking on the heavy trust of life. Stay away from the entanglement brought to society by political gathering. Understand the ugliness of politics and the despicableness of human nature, and watch your own life. I wish you happiness every day, and stick to the same persistence.
