Wake up(82)

 


82

 

There are many things in the world that can be redeemed, such as conscience, such as faith, but there are more irreversible things, such as old dreams, such as years, such as the tribulation and hell feeling caused by the Great Leap Forward.

If it hadn't been for the great leap forward, would China's ending be different, and the memories of the past would not be the same. Now, three generations apart, we laugh and cry recalling those past events. Let the past pass, let the coming come, the Chinese have learned to wait, and it has been like this for thousands of years. The Chinese people wait for tomorrow to be better.

There are no abnormal natural disasters, no plague epidemics, no wars, no civil strife, and the man-made disasters of totalitarian tyranny have caused a super-large-scale starvation death that exceeds the total number of starved to death in the past 2,000 years and is close to the total number of deaths in the world during World War II—— Tens of millions of people were killed, forced to die, and starved to death, and there was a horrific, large-scale cannibalism... However, they always tried their best to avoid and cover up this tragedy of mass extinction afterwards, not to mention investigating responsibility, summing up lessons, and helping Justice, comfort the dead.

However, how many people in China know the truth about the Great Leap Forward-the Great Famine that was deeply covered up? How many people can imagine the brutality and suffering of the earth-shattering weeping ghosts and gods? How many people know the names of the tens of millions of victims and astronomical numbers of hungry ghosts who died in the tragic dark age? And where can I find any monuments or biographies or commemorative activities for these poor undead compatriots? How many people who starved to death directly or indirectly expressed even a little bit of repentance or explained the reason why they fell into hell for no reason, so as to give justice to comfort their souls in heaven? And let the living Chinese conscientiously sum up this painful lesson to prevent the recurrence of historical tragedies, so as to benefit the healthy development and democratic progress of modern China?

At the beginning of 1962, a meeting of 7,000 people was held in which all cadres above the county party committee level participated, and proposed to restart the Great Leap Forward and greatly increase the amount of requisition. Had to give up the "Great Leap Forward" idea and continue to reduce grain purchases.

Naive Chinese people think that Lao Mao has "conceded". The Great Leap Forward, which lasted for several years, starved, beat to death, and forced tens of millions of people to death, began to come to an end.

Lao Mao would never "concede". Li Jingquan understood the holy will and stubbornly insisted on Lao Mao's proposition, resulting in a large number of starving people in Sichuan starving to death in 1962. In the early stage of the Great Leap Forward, Zeng Xisheng, the first secretary of Anhui, who closely followed Mao's line, caused a lot of starvation. In the later period, his conscience found that he supported farmers in production and self-help, but was punished by Lao Mao; Bi Kedan, secretary of the Tanghe County Party Committee, felt deeply guilty and could not bear the pressure of "bad guys in power" to commit suicide with his family...

In 1962, when the Great Famine had just ended, the Beidaihe Conference and the Tenth Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee were held. Lao Mao further proposed to "take class struggle as the key link." Paying too much attention to the "cultural" aspect, began to counterattack with all its strength, and carried out personality worship and obscurity policies.

Lao Mao was concentrating on how to get rid of Liu Shaoqi and his supporters who advocated economic development and clean up the mess, and replaced him with his wife Jiang Qing and other people, so as to turn the "party world" into a "family world" to completely cover up those who starved to death. The heinous crime of millions.

Pandora's box was opened, and the "anti-revisionism" and "Cultural Revolution" that caused more damage and more damage came.

The Chinese lament the illusory concepts of "liberation", "new society", "being the master of the country" and so on. When people have been talking about it for a long time, the tens of millions of souls and hungry ghosts of the Great Famine knew it. How would you feel?

In 1976, after the death of Lao Mao, the shackles were quickly broken, and the mind broke out of the cage. With the rectification of chaos, reform and opening up, and the gradual revealing of many historical truths, the amazing disaster of the Great Leap Forward-Great Famine gradually surfaced.

The number of abnormal deaths in the Great Famine of three or four years, that is, the number of people who died of starvation, according to the data of abnormal deaths in the Great Famine obtained by many scholars after consulting archives, interviewing survivors and the memories of the parties involved, etc. There are more than 20 million to 30 million, and there are also 40 million to 50 million or more. In September 2005, the Politburo of the Central Committee agreed to limit the declassification of the population of "starvation and abnormal deaths" during the Great Famine, which was 37.558 million; if the data of 1958 and some provincial regions not included in this statistics are added, this An authoritative number of "starvation and abnormal deaths" must not be less than 40 million.

According to relatively high and relatively consistent data disclosed by the anti-fascist allies in World War II, including China, the total number of people who died in World War I in the world was more than 10 million. World War II spread across dozens of countries in Asia, Europe, Africa, and Oceania. In seven or eight years, the total number of people who died in World War II was 40 to 50 million.

In just three or four years in China's peaceful era, it caused abnormal deaths close to the total number of deaths in the world during World War II, exceeding 100 Nanjing Massacres, equivalent to 150 Tangshan Earthquakes or 500 Wenchuan Earthquakes Deaths from earthquakes.

According to the papers published by Chen Yuqiong and Gao Jianguo in Nature Exploration, in the 2129 years before 1949, there were 203 major climate disasters in China that killed more than 10,000 people, causing a total of 29.92 million deaths. This is the total number of deaths caused by various climatic disasters such as floods, droughts, and wind disasters, naturally including people who died of starvation due to disasters. In the "new society" of modern Chinese history, the number of people who starved to death in just a few years of the Great Famine even exceeded the sum of the number of people who starved to death in the previous 2,000 years!

According to the "Report on War Losses and Japanese Compensation Issues" issued by the Executive Yuan of the National Government in February 1947, during the eight-year war of resistance from July 7, 1937 to September 3, 1945, the total number of military and civilian deaths nationwide was 5.72 million. There were many people, including 1,328,501 soldiers and 4,397,504 civilians. In just a few years of peaceful times, the "Great Leap Forward" killed people who starved to death, which is equivalent to the total number of people who died in the war during the eight-year war of resistance.

7 times the mouth!

Yuan Longping once said bluntly that the reason why he had been seeking high-yield rice for decades was that he was deeply stimulated by the Great Leap Forward and the Great Famine: "Forty to fifty million people died of starvation... I saw it with my own eyes at the edge of the field, under the bridge and on the side of the road!"

How to carry out agricultural production is a simple question. After 1949, the old Mao tossed the party without peace, the country without peace, and the people without peace, until the corpses littered the fields and hundreds of millions of people lived in the ravine. In those years, the United States fed the country with less than 5% of its agricultural population and exported a large amount of food, while China’s agricultural population exceeded 80%, but they were always hungry. At that time, it was popular for a long time to "do a lot of agriculture" and "big food" to ensure food. All walks of life had to support agriculture, including students in elementary and middle schools who went to the countryside from time to time to work for free, and urban residents who did not have regular jobs and relied on odd jobs to make ends meet were dismissed. Driving to the countryside for "voluntary labor" is even more commonplace year after year.

This strange phenomenon that people all over the country are always hungry for food has disappeared after the reform and opening up "loosened" the people, including a large number of rural people who went out to work and a lot of farmland was abandoned. There is still no shortage of food and even sells it for food. Don't go out and worry. This also shows from one aspect that the Great Famine was a catastrophic tragedy caused entirely by man-made disasters that deprived the people of their right to live. From the perspective of political system and ideology, China has learned from the capitalist mode of production to achieve ultra-high-speed development. After the "restoration of capitalism", it did not have "millions of people on the ground" but "millions of pigs on the ground".

Looking back on the deception, fooling and brainwashing of the Chinese people in those years, the memory of any country and nation, especially the history of suffering brewed by violence and lies, should not be forgotten, tampered with or erased.

The perception of human nature is not always proportional to the right and wrong of good and evil. The tragic death of one or two people can often arouse people's anger, sympathy and public attention, but the tragic death of thousands of people may be just a cold number and be ignored. Wronged souls cannot always be submerged in "big data", and rivers of blood and tears cannot be frozen into cold numbers forever. Therefore, if there is no revelation of the truth, sacrifice of wronged souls, and investigation of responsibility after the disaster, it will be difficult to have a spiritual resurrection, a scourge of sin, and a deep reflection, and similar tragedies may still happen again.

They tried their best to conceal and cover up the truth of the Great Leap Forward-Great Famine, but failed to liquidate their mistakes, sum up experience and lessons, uphold justice, and carry out necessary accountability. Finally, the serious mistakes of direction, policy, and system made a comeback, and the Chinese nation, China The people suffered the "unprecedented" continuous disaster of the Cultural Revolution, and paid a greater, deeper and wider price.

To forget, to make a strangled life suffer another misfortune, is a more profound misfortune than the extinction of physical life. Memory itself, the clarity and clarity of one's stance in evaluating these dark historical events, will be a powerful warning against history repeating itself.

The occurrence of the ten-year Cultural Revolution, the confusion of good and evil, and the loss of human ethics and morality have made it impossible for the Chinese people to really get out of chaos, confusion, ignorance, and backwardness.

Not forgetting man-made disasters, darkness and evil is to stay away from man-made disasters, darkness and evil, and also to demonstrate human conscience and justice of heaven.

Looking back at the great catastrophe of the Great Leap Forward-Great Famine, the purpose of writing straight and revealing the truth is to prevent the recurrence of historical tragedies, and also for the healthy development and democratic progress of modern China, and to pay homage to those souls who lost their lives them.

A person always walks a strange road, sees a strange scenery, listens to a strange song, and then at a certain inadvertent moment, you will find that the things that you have tried so hard to forget will not be easily forgotten . We were crazy together, silly together, laughed together and cried together in those years. The seemingly absurd and unruly rough years have brought us painful memories that will never be erased. If the memory window of looking back on the past is left open for too long, the chill will start to invade the present time.

     That painful experience is like a dream, which will disappear when you open your eyes, but many Chinese are still unwilling to wake up. In this way, we can only give ourselves to time, because time will never go back. I believe that time will one day wake up those who are addicted to their dreams.
