Wake up（80）

 

80

 

History is like a great polyphony, in which the voices of various nations will sound in turn. The destiny of the individual is always linked to the destiny of the nation, placing the survival of the individual within the survival of the group.

For national rejuvenation, Hitler once said: It is my inescapable duty and privilege to conquer, exploit, plunder and even eliminate inferior nations. If the German nation is not strong enough to defend its own existence with blood, it should perish. Rise up, my nation! Tighten up the power of your hands and your mind, which no catastrophe can destroy.

The Chinese dream will also compose the strongest voice of the times to revitalize the Chinese nation. Jiang Zemin said that innovation is the soul of a nation's progress and an inexhaustible driving force for a country's prosperity. Deng Xiaoping said: "I am honored to become a citizen of the world from being a member of the Chinese nation. I am the son of the Chinese people. I love my motherland and people deeply."

Chinese Huanshi is the most imaginative and creative nation. Mao Zedong had a famous saying: Our Chinese nation has the courage to fight our enemies to the end, the determination to restore old things on the basis of self-reliance, and the ability to stand on our own among the nations of the world. Zhou Enlai said: We love our nation, this is the source of our self-confidence.

During the tragic famine, the Chinese nation demonstrated the spirit of internationalism, and its benevolence had to impress the world.

The famous female writer Zhang Yihe once told a sad story of that era: A visiting Anhui writer brought a volume of drawings, saying that the content he wanted to write was in it. The drawing is a floor plan of a farm village. Except for the pigsty and chicken coop, the rest are rooms of different sizes. Each room is filled with the names of one, two, or three people. The Anhui writer said that this was his big family of dozens of people in 1958. He pointed out which house lived in which parents lived, which house lived in which grandparents lived, which house housed uncles and aunts, and which house housed brothers, sisters-in-law and nephews. House of. Then the second and third pictures were drawn, which were in 1959 and 1960 respectively. The layout of each picture is the same, but there are fewer and fewer names that can be marked. In the last picture, except for a hut with a person’s name, the other rooms are all blank because they all died in the Great Famine. The only remaining name is himself who survived by luck. The story Zhang Yihe told is very sad, but it does not represent all the experiences of the Chinese nation.

At that time, there was a tragic famine in China. It is logical that the upper-level leaders should take the lead in saving expenses, eliminating waste and reducing foreign aid, so as to overcome the difficulties together, overcome the national disaster smoothly, and minimize the harm to the people. Unexpectedly, during the years when the most people starved to death, it was not only the period when the palace-style villas were built most frequently for Lao Mao and other central leaders in China, but also the period when China's foreign aid surged and raised the most "white-eyed wolves".

According to the "China Statistical Yearbook" (1983), in 1959 China purchased 6.74 million tons of grain and exported 4.1575 million tons of grain. In 1960, 5.1 million tons of grain were requisitioned and 2.7204 million tons of grain was exported. Food exports in the three years with the most starving deaths exceeded the sum of food exports in the previous years.

During this period, many warehouses were full of grain and other food waiting to be exported, and even a lot of them rotted, but they had to use extremely cruel means to seize grain from farmers, and then provided a large amount of assistance to many countries whose lives were better than China, and even exported Food is exchanged for scarce foreign exchange, and then Western machines are purchased to engage in foreign aid in order to "bribe" a world leader.

In the most tragic three-year famine, only in 1960 when the number of people starved to death, China assisted North Korea with 29 complete sets of projects including textile factories, bearing factories, thermal instrument factories, relay factories, electronic tube factories, and radio factories, providing A loan of more than 400 million yuan that never came back and 230,000 tons of grain was given to North Korea for free. In fact, the life of North Koreans was much better than that of China; The unused Handan No. 3 and No. 5 Textile Mills dismantled and transported them to North Korea to help build a new factory, and put the fairyland-like Tianchi in Changbai Mountain, which is more than half of the source of the Songhua River, Tumen River, and Yalu River, and the adjacent Several main peaks were given to North Korea, and the Yalu River, which was originally part of Chinese territory, was divided into two, and half of the neighboring North Korea was ceded to North Korea for nothing.

During the Great Leap Forward, regardless of the life and death of the people, it "threw money" to the outside world, and it reached the point of insanity and appalling.

In 1960, China provided free aid of 10,000 tons of wheat and 10,000 tons of rice to Congo and Ghana in Africa. At the same time, China provided aid in response to Egypt’s war against Israel. In those years, Albania, which had a population of only 2 million, amounted to more than 10 billion yuan, and Albania received more than 5,000 yuan per capita. At that time, it was extremely difficult for mainland China to find a rich man with 5,000 yuan. They don’t like Chinese products, so they bought a complete set of equipment from Italy and sent them there. As a result, Aguodui was exposed to the wind and rain, rusted and rotted in the wild. paid for them. China's large iron and steel smelters throw high-quality metal products such as iron rings and buttons for door boxes, iron pans and shovels, farm tools and even hairpins on women's heads, precious metal cultural relics, etc. into blast furnaces to make scrap iron, but the most A large amount of high-quality steel and cement, which is in short supply, was sent to Albania. Albania built statues of leaders and repaired bunkers everywhere. Such a small country has built thousands of sculptures and more than 13,000 reinforced concrete bunkers.

Li Qiang, the former Minister of Foreign Economic Relations, recalled that when Chinese people were starved to death during the Great Famine, the central government ordered the ship sailing in the Atlantic Ocean after buying Canadian wheat to turn to Albania.

In those years, various aids to Vietnam amounted to more than 20 billion U.S. dollars. In 1962, at the end of the Great Famine, Vietnam was once again provided free of charge with weapons capable of equipping 230 infantry battalions. Even after the turnaround, most of the weapons Vietnam used to fight the Chinese were "Made in China", and the words printed on the sacks used by the Vietnamese army to hold food were "COFCO". The "blood-stained style" turned out to be dyed red by Vietnam with guns donated by China! In 1957, Lao Mao gave Vietnam the Bailongwei Island between Hainan Island and Vietnam, the largest island in the vast South China Sea, which caused China to lose a large area of sea area and made the South China Sea dispute worse. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the National Government The 11-dash line assigned to represent the territory of the South China Sea has also become an incomplete 9-dash line.

China has swollen its face for a long time to pretend to be fat, generously donates, bribes and buys, and tries to become the leader of the third world. Even among the more than 100 countries that China has aided, China is the poorest, but the debts it borrows do not have to be repaid.

Lao Mao's "good deeds" have attracted people from all over the world to come to China to "eat the emperor's food". Some people can make tens of millions at a time just by wearing a Mao badge to please Lao Mao. Being able to find China for food and drink for a long time requires "activity funds". The little brothers from North Korea, Vietnam, and Albania asked China for things, and they were as confident as a grandfather asking a grandson, even "we want what you have, and we have what you don't have."

In 1950, when the government was established, it eagerly recognized Mongolia’s independence and promised all-round assistance. Soon, tens of thousands of workers were sent to build schools, nursing homes, guest houses, various factories and even help repair ancient temples for Mongolia; China cannot manufacture Mongolia. The requested textile factory equipment was ordered in the UK with scarce foreign exchange. The reason why East Germany asked China for a large amount of meat aid during the Great Famine was that East Germany had not yet reached the standard of 80 kilograms of meat per person per year in West Germany, although Chinese urban residents barely reached the standard after the Great Famine ended and the economy improved. The supply standard of three to four kilograms of meat per person per year. Then, in March 1961, 23,000 tons of soybeans were sent to East Germany, which caused East Germany to cancel the food rationing system for a while. At the same time, it categorically rejected Japan's war compensation, and flatly rejected humanitarian food aid from the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries.

At that time, the Soviet Union held a Politburo meeting and decided to immediately aid China with 500,000 tons of sugar and 3 million tons of grain to overcome the shortage, but Lao Mao flatly rejected it: "Even if all the Chinese are starved to death, they don't want a grain of grain from him. The government is ambitious.” Even though the Soviet side offered to postpone debt repayment or debt relief in view of the great famine in China, Lao Mao insisted on repaying the Soviet debt that was agreed to be paid off in 16 years to five years in advance, urging the country to send a large amount of grain, oil and meat Eggs were continuously transported to the Soviet Union to speed up debt repayment. On the Sino-Soviet border, there were strange incidents where the Soviet Union insisted on not wanting China but insisting on giving it to China, and there were conflicts. Because Lao Mao, who had the halo of "great savior" on his head, insisted on fighting for a breath, and it was fulfilled. The historical story of "Soviet revisionist duress".

According to the recollection of the ambassador to Poland, when the United States offered to provide free wheat aid without any strings attached to save the victims of the disaster in China, Lao Mao replied generously: Let us help the American wheat and rice. The U.S. ambassador to Poland was "embarrassed" after hearing this, and remained silent.

Many people say that the Great Famine was the result of the Soviet Union's "tearing up contracts and withdrawing experts". In fact, the Soviet Union’s cancellation of military projects after the Sino-Soviet quarrel will only help China alleviate the famine, because a large amount of food used to buy these military projects does not have to be exported, and it can also save human, financial and material resources because there are fewer large-scale industrial projects that have a beginning and an end to survive the great famine. Moreover, the "withdrawal of experts" occurred in July 1960, and a large number of people starved to death.

During the Great Leap Forward, large-scale imports of heavy industrial projects centered on the military industry were imported from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. Lao Mao said that China could export as much food as the Soviet Union wanted in exchange for purchases. At the same time, a large amount of food was exported in exchange for gold and dollars, including for the purchase of equipment and materials for the atomic bomb. In addition, there are a large number of exports of meat, cooking oil, eggs, etc. In addition to export, grain was also used in large quantities to refine high-purity alcohol and used as fuel for nuclear missiles. If these exported grains are used to help desperate farmers, or if less grain is collected from farmers, none of the tens of millions in China will starve to death.

The four-year Great Leap Forward was an immeasurable waste of manpower and material resources. No country forced its people to work hard until they were exhausted, and then squandered the crystallization of their hard work. The barbaric and frantic tossings not only caused great damage to productivity and the ecological environment, leading to a major reduction in food production, but also drained the vitality of people, forcing farmers to starve to death on a large scale. The atomic bomb made during the Great Famine was built on piles of bones. According to information, starting from 1956 when the Soviet Union formally signed a contract to help build a heavy water reactor and a cyclotron, the total cost of building the first atomic bomb in the Mao era was 4.1 billion U.S. dollars. The tens of millions of people who starved to death during the Great Famine in China could all survive the disaster relief with wheat and other grains. The number of Chinese who died for this atomic bomb is equivalent to 100 times the number of people killed by the two atomic bombs dropped by the United States on Japan.

Beginning in 1958, expensive shells were poured towards Kinmen Island like a child's play for 20 years, sometimes tens of thousands of rounds were fired a day. The shelling of Quemoy caused tension in the Taiwan Strait and tied the Soviet Union to a chariot of confrontation with Western countries, which caused strong dissatisfaction from the Soviet side, which not only became one of the two main reasons for the breakdown of Sino-Soviet relations. Another major reason for the breakdown of Sino-Soviet relations was that the Soviet Union did not support Mao's Great Leap Forward and People's Commune. Moreover, the value of a single shell is equivalent to several hundred catties of grain. Many high-level officials were deeply puzzled by such a large amount of money. Cannons cost a lot of money and make everyone tense, why bother?" Lao Mao was speechless, and accused Huang Kecheng of leaning to the right, and soon Huang Kecheng and Peng Dehuai would be overthrown together. Today's Taiwan Strait crisis seems to be repeating this script.

When the Empress Dowager Cixi wanted to bring in foreign troops to help suppress the rebellion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, she once said that "it is better to give gifts to allies than slaves." After being defeated by Western powers, it was a last resort to cede land and pay compensation. After the establishment of "New China", the slogans of "standing up" and "being the master of the country" were loudly shouted, but they have been spending money like water on "friends" and treating their own people like domestic slaves. During the Great Famine, if we exported a large amount of foreign aid and food to the victims of the disaster in China, or squeezed less blood and sweat from the people, and searched for less people's fat, at least many, many Chinese people would be killed, and not even a single one would starve to death. .

Long Yun, the former chairman of Yunnan Province and a famous uprising general, said that "it is unreasonable for China to bear all the expenses for the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea."

Wang Jiaxiang, head of the International Liaison Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and who played a key role in elevating Mao to the top leadership position at the Zunyi Conference in 1935, put forward a series of prudent and pragmatic foreign work proposals in 1962, believing that foreign aid should be realistic and within one’s capacity, which resulted in Longyan was furious and denounced him as the revisionist "Three Harmonies and One Young Master" (be more kind to "emperors, revisionists, and rebels" and less aid to Asia, Africa and Latin America). Wang Jiaxiang was placed under house arrest and became mentally disturbed. Passed away, his wife Zhu Zhongli was labeled as a counter-revolutionary, and his son Wang Mingxian, who worked at Renmin University, couldn't stand the criticism and threw himself into the river.

Lao Mao left a long time ago, but Lao Mao's thought of "being kind and generous" is still continuing. It attracts poor countries all over the world to come to China to "eat imperial food".

China's large-scale foreign aid in recent years has been criticized by public opinion as a "big coin" policy. The British media "Financial Times" reported that citing data from the International Development Research Office AidData pointed out that since 2017, the three countries that received the most aid and loans from China, including Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Argentina, have received a total of US$32.83 billion in loan assistance. These secret "emergency loans" are a small part of China's "Belt and Road" project. Although the amount of this money is difficult to compare with China's annual diplomatic expenditure of tens of billions, and the budgets used for foreign affairs and internal affairs of various countries are also different, but under the same big pie, for the Chinese people, it is still the government's foreign affairs. Scattering coins, but regardless of the performance of poor people.

Public data shows that since China announced the “Belt and Road” initiative in 2013, it has so far invested more than 843 billion U.S. dollars in about 163 countries. The local cooperation infrastructure includes many countries in Africa and Central Asia. However, China's "Belt and Road" project has left poor countries saddled with hidden debts of up to US$385 billion. Hundreds of billions of dollars are sent out in this way, whether it is a loan-free loan or an interest-free loan, what is needed is the recognition of the international community...

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang stated in 2020 that there are about 600 million people in China with low and middle incomes and below, with an average monthly income of about 1,000 yuan. Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi announced that a total of 23 interest-free loans to China from 17 African countries will be canceled.

The country takes people's money and sends it to foreign countries, and the people in the country don't care at all. Regardless of the domestic ones, send a lot of money to foreign countries. The common people can't control it. How China sends money out is not up to the common people.

Comparing China's "Great Currency Scattering" policy today with the Great Leap Forward's "Great Currency Spreading" policy that disregarded people's life and death, it is even worse than it is.

Recalling those embarrassing things, Li Dao Dao always suddenly remembered and laughed. Memories will always laugh at the ignorance and ignorance of the past, but they can also open today's eyes.
