There are always many similarities in history, and people have to lament that they are coincidences as if they were arranged. In fact, there are many such coincidences, and when people observe such coincidences, no one knows what they are. what causes it.

Warring States·Chu·Qu Yuan wrote such a passage in "Li Sao": "There are always things that separate and reunite, and there are many things that are different from each other." During the historical development of human beings, there have been countless things that are difficult to understand.

Many people have read the Three Kingdoms, but I believe that few people have paid attention to the coincidence of the "Wolong" Zhuge Liang and Han Xiandi during the Three Kingdoms period. Zhuge Liang and Han Xiandi were born in the same year and died in the same year. Zhuge Liang was unknown when he was young, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was praised as a child prodigy. As a result, when he grew up, Zhuge Liang became the world-famous Mr. "Wolong", but Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty could only become a puppet emperor. This kind of similarity and difference in life is extremely rare in history.

Even today, people do not know what caused those coincidences to happen.

When He Jiafu stayed up all night and dreamed of the anti-rightist era, his old comrade-in-arms Chai Jianhua also dreamed about those people and things on the right. I can't help the emotion and sadness in my heart. Is this really a coincidence or the reincarnation of history.

When Chai Jianhua got up early in the morning, he chatted with Pan Guangfu about the anti-rightist movement in the yard.

Chai Jianhua asked Pan Guangfu: "Your father, Pan Renshu, and I were both captured during the Republic of China and became cannon fodder for the Kuomintang. I heard that in 1958, your father was the principal of a middle school. Because he supported Peng Dehuai, As a result, he was labeled as a rightist. Is this really the case?"

Pan Guangfu told Chai Jianhua: "It's true. But I don't know how he was labeled as a rightist, and he never talked about those things to me. But I became a child of the rightist and was discriminated against everywhere. I became a Hong Kong media After working as a reporter, I investigated and interviewed some rightists, and gained some understanding of the anti-rightist movement.”

When Pan Guangfu was a Hong Kong media reporter, he had contact with many scholars who explained to him the cause and history of the Anti-Rightist Movement from different standpoints and angles.

During the anti-rightist struggle in 1957, 550,000 people across the country were wrongly classified as rightists. According to the information released by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, there were 552,973 rightists in 1957-58, and 552,877 people were "corrected" after 1978. Zhang Bojun, Luo Longji, Chu Anping, Peng Wenying, Chen Renbing and a total of 96 people from all over the country were not corrected. The magnification is 5759.1354 times, and the wrong allocation rate accounts for 99.99%. The so-called "necessity" only accounts for 1.736 out of 10,000. According to the declassified central archives, a total of 3,178,470 people were classified as rightists across the country, and 1,437,562 people were classified as "center-right" (center-rights were also punished to varying degrees). In fact, the number of "rightists" wearing hats is not 550,000, but 5.6 times that of 550,000.

According to the "Ninety Years of Tsinghua University" compiled and published by the Tsinghua University History Research Office in April 2001: Tsinghua has designated 571 schools, including 222 faculty members and 349 students. So far, the official judgment is still that "Anti-Rightism is necessary, but it has only been enlarged." It is generally believed that this kind of judgment at least violates the dialectic of "quantitative change to qualitative change."

If we follow this logic, we may draw another even more shocking conclusion: In order to find out and defeat these 96 "genuine" "rightists", it is "necessary" to wrong 550,000 (actually more than 3.17 million) 1) innocent people, how is this different from the strategy of "I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than miss one"?

Pan Guangfu said that some commentators even cited the United States after the Pearl Harbor incident in World War II. In order to prevent Japanese-American citizens from collaborating with the enemy, all of them were imprisoned in concentration camps, so as to demonstrate the "necessity" of the "expansion" of my country's anti-rightist movement .

Of course, people can also argue that we didn't do it on purpose, but just made a mistake; what's more, most of them will be "corrected" after 20 years. ——This is of course more "humane" than the anti-AB regiment in the Soviet area in the past, killing tens of thousands of their comrades as "counter-revolutionaries" in batches. Not to mention how many committed suicide and were tortured to death because of the 1957 Anti-Rightist Movement. At that time, among the 15 members of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of Tsinghua University, there were 3 "rightists", including Yu Shimo, the former deputy secretary of the Party Committee, making a total of 4 people. Among them, Zhou Shouchang, the director of the President's Office of Tsinghua University, was classified as a "rightist". The person in charge of the University Group of the Student Department and a member of the first National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. However, because of this injustice, he suffered from mental depression and cancer, and died young. Yu Shimo served as the Minister of Agriculture and Industry of the Youth League Committee of the Northeast Bureau in the early days of Liberation. He was the deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Tsinghua University and the director of the school's general affairs department. Yuan Yongxi, the former secretary of the Tsinghua Party Committee, joined the underground party of the Communist Party of China in 1938. He was an outstanding leader and organizer of the "1.21 Movement" that shocked the country during the War of Liberation. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and demobilization, he served as the head of the Beiping City Education Committee under the leadership of the Southern Bureau of the Communist Party of China, one of the main leaders of the national student movement, and the head of the Student Department of the League Central Committee in the early 1950s. He was also almost beaten to death during the Cultural Revolution, but fortunately his wife Xu Xian knelt down to the military representative for help and survived. But he fell ill and became paralyzed, and died in 1999. As for the more than 500 right-wing teachers and students in Tsinghua University, those who committed suicide and died in labor camps cannot be counted.

Referring to the AB regiment, Pan Guangfu told Chai Jianhua one thing: "During my interview, an expert on party history told me what Tan Zhenlin said. It was the Sixth Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party in 1981. Before the "Resolutions on Several Historical Issues of the Party", in September 1980, the Party Central Committee organized more than 4,000 senior cadres of the whole Party to review the draft. Rising to the table, he said excitedly and sadly: "What an 'unprecedented' catastrophe! There have been catastrophes in the history of our party. In the early 1930s, tens of thousands of Red Army cadres and soldiers were mistakenly killed during the suppression of counter-revolutionaries in the Central Soviet Area and other places, isn’t it a catastrophe?!”

According to records related to party history, in the "Futian Incident" alone, the "AB Group" and "Third Party" were arrested and forced to confess. Almost all of the Red 20 Army's cadres from the squad leader to the first-level army were killed. tragedy. The anti-AB regiment was a cleansing of the intellectuals in the revolutionary ranks. Even seeing a pen stuck in their clothes, they were dragged out and killed as intellectuals.

In the autumn of 1931, more than 2,500 cadres in the Fourth Front Army of Hubei, Henan, Anhui and Red Army were arrested and killed.

When Xia Xi was in the Red Army to fight against counter-revolutionaries, almost all the founders of the Honghu Soviet Area were killed. Xia Xi also said, "They created the Soviet Area in order to destroy it!"

There was an army that killed even the leader, and sent Chen Yi to kill those who killed the AB regiment indiscriminately, and then stopped.

However, the party did not learn from this, and continued to replicate such mistakes: the "rescue campaign" launched after the Yan'an rectification movement in 1943 "rescued" a nest of "secret agents" and "traitors" in more than ten days, and everyone was at risk . The Yan'an Rectification and Rescue Movement, including the criticism of Ding Ling and Wang Shiwei, was aimed at intellectuals who dared to think independently. In the early days after liberation, the critiques of Wu Xun, Hu Shi, Yu Pingbo, and Hu Feng, and the suppression of counter-revolutionaries in institutions and schools were mostly like this. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the successive political struggles against Hu Feng, counter-revolutionaries, rightists, and rightist opportunists have continuously harmed millions of intellectuals and party cadres.

Pan Guangfu said: When Tan Zhenlin reviewed these painful historical lessons, he said sadly: "We have been unwilling to face up to the continuous internal and external disasters caused by these serious mistakes for a long time. The erroneous political movement of the 'Left' did not start to wake up until the Cultural Revolution hit its head and blood, but it has paid a huge price!" Tan Zhenlin's speech can also show that anti-rightism is a tradition of brutal struggles inside and outside the party. Continue, especially the continuation of discrimination, fear and purge of intellectuals.

After hearing Pan Guangfu's narration, Chai Jianhua was speechless and confused. Once again he learned the cruelty and ruthlessness of politics.
