Zhou Jianguo told Pan Guangfu and Chai Jianmin about Zhang Chunqiao's speech in the court where he was tried, and his daughter Zhang Weiwei's interview "Zhang Chunqiao in Daughter's Eyes". Zhou Jianguo took out another piece of information from his bag, which was an online article on "Zhang Chunqiao and Deng Tuo".

Zhou Jianguo told Pan Guangfu and Chai Jianmin: In 1965, Zhang Chunqiao secretly tipped the old leader Deng Tuo. Zhang Chunqiao privately told Deng Tuo that they are going to criticize you, so you have to be prepared.

It was July 18, 1979, when the Beijing Municipal Party Committee officially issued a document to vindicate the unjust case of the "Sanjia Village" caused by the special period. In the period of bringing order out of chaos, a large number of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases were rehabilitated, and people have long been accustomed to such changes. But the rehabilitation of this unjust case has caused great shock in the society, especially in the cultural field, and people are very happy about it.

The "Sanjia Village" case is a typical example of a special period. This case involved several important figures in the domestic cultural field at that time. Ironically, Deng Tuo, the main character in this case, was Zhang Chunqiao's old leader in the past, but he But in the end, he was forced to commit suicide by the counter-revolutionary group.

Deng Tuo was born in a poor family. His father was a candidate for Juren in his early years, but times have changed. Deng Tuo's father was a teacher. The life of Deng Tuo's family is quite difficult, relying on his father to support a large family, but Deng Tuo's father attaches great importance to children's education and disciplines them very strictly. Deng Tuo has been diligent and studious since he was a child, and he is very upright. He is very dissatisfied with the dark society.

In 1926, when the CCP organized activities in Fuzhou and other places, Deng Tuo and other progressive youths came into contact with revolutionary ideas, and he realized that communism was the best way to change the country. So, while studying hard, Deng Tuo began to actively participate in the revolutionary movement. In 1934, Deng Tuo entered Henan University. Using his outstanding literary talent, he wrote many articles criticizing the current problems. For a while, Deng Tuo became a well-known left-wing writer in China. He constantly used his pen to attack the enemy, and explored the road of saving the country with his comrades.

Soon, the arrival of the Anti-Japanese War completely changed Deng Tuo's life. When the country was in crisis, Deng Tuo resolutely decided to go to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War. He gave up his original research work and became the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Central Bureau under the arrangement of the organization. Began to be responsible for the propaganda work of the base area, and soon took charge of the work of "Jinchaji Daily".

It was here that Deng Tuo met Zhang Chunqiao who had just come to work here. At that time, Zhang Chunqiao came to the border area and became the deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper. Deng Tuo admired Zhang Chunqiao's talent very much and took good care of him at work.

This job became an important starting point for Zhang Chunqiao to make a fortune in the future. With the help of Deng Tuo, Zhang Chunqiao quickly adapted to the work of the newspaper office. He also met his future wife because of this, and arranged for his wife to work in a newspaper office. On weekdays, Deng Tuo and Zhang Chunqiao have a very close relationship, and the two have become close comrades-in-arms. With his excellent performance here, Deng Tuo became an outstanding talent in the party's propaganda field, and became the president of the People's Daily after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Due to work reasons, Deng Tuo and Zhang Chunqiao still had a certain relationship. The two of them became two rising stars in the field of propaganda, and they even went to the Soviet Union to study together. Later, Zhang Chunqiao's work in Shanghai was very successful, and he gradually won the appreciation of his superiors, and his status became higher and higher. Deng Tuo's work in Beijing was also smooth and he became an important figure in the field of propaganda. However, the two of them were destined to be different. Since the 1960s, Deng Tuo has written many critical articles one after another, expressing his opinions on some issues at that time.

This move attracted the attention of the counter-revolutionary forces, and Deng Tuo's article became more and more influential. He then co-wrote "Notes on Three Family Village" together with Wu Han and others. The articles in this series are extremely critical, including articles about the Lushan Conference, which had a huge impact at the time.

The actions of Deng Tuo and others naturally made some people very angry, and the counter-revolutionary forces counterattacked soon. In 1965, Yao Wenyuan published an article directly characterizing this series of articles as political issues.

Zhang Chunqiao, who has been engaged in propaganda work for a long time, knew in his heart that Yao Wenyuan's move was to liquidate Deng Tuo and others. Although Deng Tuo had different positions, Deng Tuo took great care of him in the past. The two have always been very good, Zhang Chunqiao still feels reluctant to part with the old leader, but he will not really do anything for Deng Tuo, he can only hint Deng Tuo in advance, telling him that some people will criticize him qualitatively.

Zhang Chunqiao still didn't want Deng Tuo to have an accident in his heart, and hoped that Deng Tuo could make preparations in advance to avoid being really involved.

However, Yao Wenyuan and others acted very quickly. They published a series of articles one after another, targeting Deng Tuo and others.

A tragic criticism began like this. Deng Tuo suffered multiple blows and was misidentified. His mental state was quite bad. On May 17, 1966, Deng Tuo's psychological defense completely collapsed. Under the persecution of counter-revolutionary forces, Deng Tuo finally chose to commit suicide.

Before committing suicide, Deng Tuo wrote a suicide note to express his grievances, but his departure did not bring about redress. After his death, the influence of the case continued to expand, and many people were involved.

Zhang Chunqiao did not change his views because of the death of his old boss, but continued to go further and further down this road. Deng Tuo's case was vindicated until the order was brought out, while Zhang Chunqiao was severely punished for his own fault.

Zhou Jianguo seemed to agree with Zhang Chunqiao a little more, but he changed the subject and criticized Zhou Enlai.

Zhou Jianguo told Pan Guangfu and Chai Jianmin about the inside story of the task force during the Cultural Revolution.

Zhou Jianguo said: According to Wu Faxian's memoirs, during the "Cultural Revolution", many high-level CCP members were overthrown, and the central government set up 14 task forces, and these task forces were actually controlled by Zhou Enlai.

Wu Faxian stated in his memoir "Difficult Years" that after the "Cultural Revolution" began, many leaders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, including Liu Shaoqi, were overthrown. 14 central task forces.

At that time, it was Zhou Enlai himself who decided to set up a task force, who would be in charge, and select the staff of the task force at the Central Cultural Revolution Meeting. After everyone discussed and agreed, Zhou Enlai signed and reported to Mao Zedong and Lin Biao for approval.

Among them, the Central Military Commission task force has three offices. Under the First Office were Liu Shaoqi, Wang Guangmei, "Bo Yibo and other sixty-one traitors", Tao Zhu, Lu Dingyi, Zhang Wentian, Peng Zhen, and others; under the Second Office were Peng Dehuai, He Long, and Luo Ruiqing. There are several task forces under the office of the third office for "May 16", arresting traitors, Ye Xiangzhen and others. Zhou Enlai, Jiang Qing, Chen Boda, and Kang Sheng actually mastered the work of the central task force, and they were also in charge of the Liu Shaoqi project.

The specific staff and persons in charge of the task force are a group of military and division-level cadres drawn from the army by the Military Commission's working group in accordance with the decision of the Central Cultural Revolution Meeting. Each task force ranges from a dozen to as many as dozens of people. After gathering in Beijing, Zhou Enlai led the members of the Central Cultural Revolution Meeting to call them for a meeting and arrange work. Zhou Enlai presided over a meeting of all staff of the task force with 400 to 500 people every half a month.

Until Wu Faxian was arrested in September 1971, the entire task force had made little progress. At this time, the top came to suppress, criticizing the staff for "rightist deviation", demanding that they strictly review and draw conclusions quickly.

The memoir talks about the circumstances of Liu Shaoqi's conviction. In October 1968, on the eve of the Twelfth Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Wang Dongxing suddenly took a document to the Central Cultural Revolution meeting, saying that the staff of the task force got it from a foreign consulate in Wuhan. Then based on this material, Liu Shaoqi was given a lot of labels such as "traitor, traitor, scab".

Finally, a report was written by the staff of the task force, which was discussed and approved at the Central Cultural Revolution Meeting, signed by Zhou Enlai, and reported to Mao Zedong and Lin Biao for approval. Later, based on this "evidence", Liu Shaoqi was convicted at the Twelfth Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee, and Liu was expelled from the party.

According to public information, Wu Faxian is a senior general of the Communist Party of China. In 1965, he served as the commander of the Air Force; in 1967, he served as the deputy chief of staff and commander of the Air Force; One of the "principal criminals", was sentenced to 17 years in prison in 1981, and was later released on medical parole; died on October 17, 2004.

During the "Cultural Revolution", there was an obvious difference between Zhou Enlai and Deng Tuo, the old superior of Zhang Chunqiao's private security guard. Zhou Enlai could betray anyone to protect himself.

The declassified archives show that during the "Cultural Revolution", Zhou Enlai kept betraying his "comrades" in order to protect himself. Liu Shaoqi, He Long, Peng Dehuai, and Tao Zhu were persecuted to death, and Zhou Enlai directly intervened in the unjust cases of Peng, Luo, Lu, and Yang.

Gao Wenqian, a well-known expert who studies Zhou Enlai, said that during the "Cultural Revolution", Zhou Enlai once put on "five hats" on Liu Shaoqi, the chairman of the Communist Party of China, and wrote "Liu Thief" in his own handwriting in the report. Zhou Enlai commented on Liu Shaoqi's "criminal evidence materials": "Liu thief is a great traitor, a great scab, a great traitor, a great spy, and a great traitor. He is really a counter-revolutionary with all five poisons and heinous crimes!" "This person should be killed!"

Ruan Ming, who was once Hu Yaobang's think tank, wrote in the book "Zhou Enlai on the Revolving Stage": "In the investigation of the crimes of the 'Gang of Four', it was found that almost all of the unjust cases persecuted during the Cultural Revolution were signed by Zhou Enlai on the arrest warrants. , including the arrest of his own goddaughter Sun Weishi."

In order to protect himself, Zhou Enlai even personally ordered the arrest of his own younger brother Zhou Tongyu, and even betrayed his bodyguards who had followed him for decades.

Zhou Jianguo sighed to Pan Guangfu and Chai Jianmin: It is difficult to have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the Cultural Revolution. It is also difficult to make a fair and original evaluation of those things and those people during the Cultural Revolution.
