He Jiafu and his grandson went to visit old comrade-in-arms Chai Jianhua together, and met Li Dao Dao on the way. When the three of them walked together, Li Dao Dao told many things about contemporary Chinese political movements. Directly pointing at the top leaders of the Cultural Revolution.

Those Cultural Revolution rebels firmly said: Mao received the reliable support of Lin Biao and Zhou Enlai. An important key is that Lin Zhou had very blatant flattery and loyalty to Lao Mao in terms of responsibility for the 1958-1961 famine. —Lin Biao At the meeting of 7,000 people in 1962, different from the generally low-key introspection atmosphere in the party, it was pointed out in a high-profile manner that the mistakes in the party during the three-year difficult period were caused by not following Chairman Mao's instructions, warnings, and ideas. . "Chairman Mao's opinions are disturbed, and things will go wrong." Lin Biao is a martial artist, and his speech at the 7,000-person meeting blatantly accused a deer of a horse and recklessly betrayed sincerity, so its influence was limited. But Lao Mao applauded Lin Biao's speech on the spot. Afterwards, Lao Mao also asked his confidant Luo Ruiqing, chief of the general staff in the army, "Can you do Lin Biao's speech?"

What is Zhou Enlai's masterpiece? At the end of 1961, Chen Guodong, Minister of Grain of the State Council, Jia Qiyun, Minister of Statistics, and Zhou Boping, Director of the General Office of the Ministry of Grain, jointly issued a questionnaire to the leaders of various provinces and cities, requesting to fill in the number of people who died of starvation in three years. As a result, there are "tens of millions of people". They reported this important information with internal credibility to Zhou Enlai. After Zhou Enlai learned of it, he instructed to destroy all statistical data immediately. After a week, check again whether to destroy? He replied that even the memory in his mind was destroyed, so Zhou Enlai was relieved. In October 1964, Zhou Enlai, as the chief director, mobilized 3,500 people to produce a large-scale song and dance epic "Dongfanghong" praising Lao Mao, creating an extremely sensational image of singing and dancing and the apotheosis of Lao Mao. Zhou Enlai did a very secretive and beautiful job of destroying the ruins and performing "The East Is Red". His shrewdness and popularity convinced Lao Mao that he had nothing to worry about.

Mao Zedong put aside the State Council, monopolized the power, and directed the "Great Leap Forward" of the national economy as he pleased, causing widespread famine across the country, cannibalism, and tens of millions of peasants died tragically. Lao Mao knew very well that the evil he committed would not only lose his power, but also leave him with eternal infamy.

Lin Biao and Zhou Enlai were well aware of the situation within the party and at home at that time, and the two occupied important points of military power, especially because this was the powerful organizational guarantee for Mao's determination to turn his deep hatred of Soviet revisionism into a large-scale domestic purge.

Launched the Cultural Revolution, which was an anti-Soviet proxy war.

Overthrowing Liu Shaoqi is a well-known goal of the Cultural Revolution, and the disagreement between Mao and Liu is considered the cause of the Cultural Revolution. Many people sorted out the process of Lao Mao's decision to get rid of Liu Shaoqi. But this is basically a cognition based on official historical theory, which can be analyzed separately.

Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai, Peng Dehuai, and Kang Sheng were all born in 1898. Liu Shaoqi is also an international faction who stayed in the Soviet Union and is known for his labor movement. However, from the Zunyi Conference to the Yan'an rectification movement, he always sided with Mao, especially at the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he promoted "Mao Zedong Thought" and became the second person in the "Five Secretaries", entering the core of the Communist Party of China's power. Lao Mao went to Chongqing for peace talks between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Liu Shaoqi acted as chairman. He once made independent decisions to occupy the Northeast and preside over the land reform. As the vice chairman of the Military Commission, he also assisted in commanding the three major civil war battles. Therefore, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lao Mao was on top, and Liu Shaoqi became the leading figure with real power on the front line.

There are traces of the relationship between Liu Shaoqi and Lao Mao:

In 1953, Liu Shaoqi was considered Lao Mao's successor. In 1954, he was the first chairman of the National People's Congress. In 1956, he made a political report at the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China. In 1959, he was appointed as the chairman of the country. At that time, Lao Mao retreated to the second line.

In the ten years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liu Shaoqi's treatment of Lao Mao can be said to be very harmonious. However, after the Great Leap Forward led to the Great Famine in January 1962 at the "Seven Thousand People Conference", the two had public disagreements. In his unscripted speech, Liu Shaoqi tactfully accused the predicament of the Great Leap Forward as "three parts of natural disasters and seven parts of man-made disasters." "As a result, Lao Mao hated it for this.

In July, Mao and Liu were arguing face to face in the Zhongnanhai swimming pool. The old Mao said: What are you in a hurry for? Can't stand it anymore? Liu Shaoqi said: So many people died of starvation, people cannibalize each other, you and I will be included in the history books!

In August and September, Lao Mao said that one-third of the power was in the hands of the enemy. At the Tenth Plenary Session, Lao Mao made a high-profile call for class struggle. Later, the Social Education Movement of the Four Clean-ups was launched, and Liu Shaoqi actively participated in it. However, in terms of the nature and methods of the movement, Mao and Liu disagreed: Liu Shaoqi wanted to punish the four types of elements and grassroots cadres, while Lao Mao wanted to punish "capitalist roaders within the party."

Lao Mao admitted to his American friend Snow in 1970 that when the "23 Articles" were formulated in January 1965, he had decided to get rid of Liu Shaoqi.

The above is the public history of the unquestionable Mao-Liu disagreement. But few people pointed out that Lao Mao was deliberately pulling the banner of class struggle, using the Four Cleansing Movement to divert and cover up his guilt for the famine. Make things difficult for Liu Shaoqi and others in their efforts to restore the national economy. When the Cultural Revolution began, Jiang Qing personally publicly named Liu Shaoqi as "China's Khrushchev" and put him to death. This is all a rogue trick of lawless political entrapment.

Friendship in struggle will be deepened in space exchanges, but friendship will be widened in differences due to the pursuit of truth in the passage of time, hearts will collide in space exchanges, and distance will be widened in differences.

Time flies, like a white horse passing by, and people who are tossed around in the world are driven by time to run. The faster and faster pace of life makes the soul have no space to rest. Unconsciously, those scattered old things of the Cultural Revolution, one thing, one person, one thing, After the lintel of a certain time, it slowly faded and was forgotten by people. Silently took away so many memories of the Cultural Revolution.

Li Dao Dao sighed and said to He Jiafu: The old days of the Cultural Revolution were lost like the wind on the road that came and could not go back. The truth is hidden behind the time, leaving only unforgettable and painful sleepless nights.
