After Nan Lutong, Nan Tongda and Nan Yangsheng were reunited, in order to thank Cheng Jinghan, Cheng Yenan and his son, Nan Lutong invited Chai Jianhua, Han Erniang and his wife and Wanru to the most luxurious Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hong Kong for a party, and let Wanru Ru invited Hong Wenxuan and Professor Shen Zhirui, the teachers of herself and Nanyang Sheng.

The Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hong Kong officially opened on October 25, 1963. It was then called The Mandarin and was once the tallest building on Hong Kong Island. As one of the flagship hotels of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, the hotel is still a legendary landmark in Hong Kong and holds a pivotal position. The hotel has been repaired and refurbished many times over the years to meet the needs of guests. It is the first hotel in Hong Kong to install a direct telephone line, and it is also the first hotel in Asia to add a bathtub to each room. But the deepest impression is its "suite limited" check-in bathtub, soaking in the bath to watch the night view of Victoria Harbor is simply the ultimate enjoyment. Located on the top floor is the Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant Wenhua Hall, and the unique Japanese-style izakaya The Aubrey on the same floor, allowing diners to enjoy delicacies while overlooking the intoxicating view of Victoria Harbour. At the same time, the hotel has an executive lounge, Wenhua Pavilion, on the 23rd floor, providing guests with a luxurious and comfortable environment and exclusive concierge services, creating an elegant, private and comfortable place.

Mandarin Oriental Hotel Hong Kong is located in the commercial district of Central, regardless of geographical location, transportation facilities, surrounding shopping centers, etc.

Seeing that his family and guests were all present, Nan Lutong gave a short speech, and chatted with Professor Hong Wenxuan and Professor Shen Zhirui who had met for the first time. The topic of chatting slowly turned to the "One Attack, Three Antis" movement that took place in the Mainland that year. He talked about his experience in this movement, but he has never been able to figure out the real purpose and serious consequences of launching this movement. It can be said that he just passed by in this movement and was frightened.

Professor Hong Wenxuan said: After the "One Strike and Three Antis" document was issued in 1970, leading organizations of the "One Strike and Three Antis" were established one after another across the country to lead the development of the movement within the administrative area. This massive "One Strike Three Antis" campaign was carried out under the requirement and background of "observing everything, checking everything, and implementing everything from the perspective of combat readiness", and it was considered to be a campaign to "strike against imperialism, revisionism, and rebellion." struggle. The focus of the "One Strike, Three Antis" movement lies in "strike". During the climax of the movement, big slogans such as "Should control it! It should be closed! It should be killed!" It showed the chilling atmosphere of the movement.

Although the movement also dealt with some counter-revolutionaries, opportunists, embezzlers and thieves, and had a certain curb effect on extravagance and waste, it also caused very serious consequences of expansion.

Under the guidance of the "Left" ideology at the time, this movement created many unjust, false and wrong cases, such as the innocent murders of Cai Tiegen, Yu Luoke, Shen Yuan, Zhang Zhixin and others. According to statistics, by the end of November 1970, more than 1.84 million "traitors", "secret agents" and "counter-revolutionaries" had been dug out across the country, and more than 284,800 people of various kinds had been approved to be arrested, of whom more than 9,000 were sentenced to death. There are also a large number of people who were not sentenced to death but were forced to commit suicide.

Professor Hong Wenxuan said: According to the "Cultural Revolution" practice of "taking the mass line" in handling cases, the case should be "discussed" among the masses. When sentencing the current counter-revolutionaries, the "revolutionary masses" should be organized to study the documents and discuss whether the counter-revolutionaries should be shot. . What should not be forgotten is that when the cases of Yu Luoke and Zhang Zhi, the new generations of people with lofty ideals, were handed over to the masses for "discussion", they received a "judgment" of "deserving to be killed". The authority to kill people has been handed over to the localities again, and the central government is only "recording". This is the most significant change since the central government took back the "death penalty" sentencing power in the 1960s.

The crimes of those sentenced included: "attacking the great leader Chairman Mao", "speaking out for Liu Shaoqi", "attacking Comrade Jiang Qing", "attacking" provincial and city chiefs, demanding religious activities, unwarranted "counter-revolutionary" crimes, and so on. Before being shot, the "current counter-revolutionaries" were divided into groups, dragged in shackles and handcuffs every day, and were taken to various meetings of ten thousand people to fight and show the public. All units wishing to push the "one attack, three antis" to a climax must use these live targets to "educate the masses." In fact, to intimidate the masses.

Professor Shen Zhirui said: Zhou Enlai has repeatedly urged and instructed the "one attack, three anti" movement. It was he who presided over the nationwide large-scale "One Strike and Three Antis" campaign. After the "Crackdown on Counter-Revolutionaries" campaign was fully rolled out, he also inspected and supervised the progress of the campaign in various places and departments. A series of clear instructions were given. This is recorded in "Zhou Enlai Chronicle".

Although Zhou Enlai presided over the central party, government, and military work, he was quite busy and had a lot of opportunities, but in his mind and specific actions, for a considerable period of time, he still regarded "combating counter-revolutionary and sabotage activities" as his top priority. There are specific instructions for the movement of a region, a sectoral unit. Even when studying to solve the purely productive problem of the decline in coal production in the seven northern provinces, they insisted on linking it with the "one attack, three antis" and required the relevant leaders to "prevent conservatives and reject the extreme left" during the campaign.

Among the provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions across the country, Jiangsu Province and Nanjing City, where Xu Shiyou is based, moved earlier and followed firmly. On February 12, 1970, a "public judgment meeting" with tens of thousands of people in Nanjing was held, and Zha Jinhua and others were executed. Zha Jinhua was the first person to be executed in the "One Strike, Three Antis" movement in Nanjing. Just because he organized a Marxist-Leninist group and raised some doubts about the current policy from the Marxist-Leninist point of view, this serious young man decided to Paid the price of life. In order to strengthen the momentum of the movement, Xinhua Daily, the official newspaper of the Jiangsu Provincial Revolutionary Committee, made an exception and published an "afternoon edition" on the same day, publishing the extremely murderous editorial "Resolutely Suppress Counter-Revolutionaries" typesetting in "large boldface". Unexpectedly, this move caused a "backlash", leading to the famous "2·12 counter-revolutionary case" in Nanjing, and more "Cultural Revolution thinkers" were executed.

All parts of the country are making great fanfare and launching the action of announcing and executing "counter-revolutionaries" with great fanfare, lest they fall behind or fail to do so.

Professor Hong Wenxuan talked about the execution of Cai Tiegen, Liu Bocheng's former right-hand man, in the "one attack and three anti" incident.

Cai Tiegen is a senior military staff member with experience in the Red Army and has served in the Central Military Commission. Marshal Liu Bocheng was ordered by the central government to establish Nanjing Military Academy in the early 1950s. Liu Bocheng served as the president and political commissar. Cai Tiegen was appointed by Liu as the director of the training department of the academy and was one of his important assistants.

In the context of the "Great Leap Forward" in 1958, in order to implement the Central Committee's instructions on anti-rightist deviation and anti-dogmatism, at the enlarged meeting of the Central Military Commission chaired by Peng Dehuai, a storm of "anti-dogmatism" was suddenly set off, and the spearhead was directed at Marshal Liu Bocheng. Criticism of the Military Academy and the Training Directorate parallel to the General Staff. This first large-scale criticism within the military under the name of "anti-dogmatism" was initially initiated and presided over by Peng Dehuai, who was then Minister of Defense and actually presided over the work of the Central Military Commission, and was implemented by the General Political Department presided over by Huang Kecheng. Mao Zedong's continuous speech during the meeting. Criticize "dogmatism" and criticize Liu Bocheng by name. As a result, the Military Commission's enlarged meeting suddenly heated up. At the meeting, Marshal Liu Bocheng and his generals were criticized more and more outrageously, and some people even suggested that it was a "line struggle", an "attack on the party", "attacking the party", " Anti-Party and anti-central government".

Under this pressure, Liu Bocheng, who was recuperating from eye diseases in Shanghai, was forced to rush back to Beijing for an examination at the conference at the risk of blindness. Against his will, he took the initiative to admit his mistakes and tried to protect a group of generals under his command.

However, the firepower and momentum of struggle and criticism at the meeting remained undiminished. It was under such circumstances that Cai Tiegen, Liu Shuai's capable subordinate and head of the training department, stepped forward to speak out in public for Liu Shuai, Xiao Ke, Li Da and other high-level generals, and this made him angry. General Xiao Ke recalled the scene at that time: "Cai Tiegen, the training director of Nanjing Military Academy, said at the meeting that the common doctrine was revised by President Peng, passed by the regular meeting of the Military Commission, and approved by Chairman Mao. He was driven out of the venue with twists and locked up." General Xiao Ke lamented that Cai Tiegen was detained on the spot: "What happened before me is really shocking! This is something I have never seen or heard of since I joined the party, and it happened in a thousand-hundred-thousand-hundred At a meeting attended by two senior generals of our army.

After the "anti-dogmatic" political movement in the military ended, a large number of senior generals in the military academy and training directorate presided over by Liu Bocheng were dismissed or their salaries were reduced. The most serious thing is expulsion from the military and resettlement.

Cai Tiegen was one of the few who suffered the worst punishment. He was dismissed from the military, his salary was cut and his grade was demoted, and he was assigned to a subsidiary company of the Changzhou City Commercial Bureau in Jiangsu Province. During his stay in Changzhou, he had many contacts with people who had independent opinions and views on current affairs, including Wu Yi, a regiment-level cadre who was dealt with from the army to the local area like him. As a result, it was noticed by relevant parties and listed as a "political case". Later, it was promoted to a "counter-revolutionary group", and Cai Tiegen was detained as the "first offender" and imprisoned. In prison, Cai Tiegen had gone on hunger strike three times to protest, and once wanted to escape from the prison and go to Beijing to file a complaint. After being discovered, he was even put in iron chains.

In mid-November 1969, the Changzhou Public Prosecution, Law and Military Control Committee conducted a centralized review of 15 people who were involved with Cai Tiegen in the name of holding "study classes", and 15 special case groups were established for 15 people. The "study class" is over without a conclusion. But after the "One Strike, Three Antis" campaign started, the whole case suddenly heated up. In early March, the Changzhou Municipal Public Prosecutor's Law Military Management Committee issued a judgment, and sentenced Cai Tiegen and Li Yefang to death for immediate execution under the name of "Cai Tiegen and Wu Yi led to engage in counter-revolutionary activities." At 9:40 a.m. that day, Cai Tiegen, Li Yefang and others were shot dead in the execution ground of Ximenwai Cemetery in Changzhou City. Cai Tiegen, an old Red Army soldier, was 56 years old when he was executed.

Professor Hong Wenxuan said angrily: Cai Tiegen's case was not rehabilitated until the 1980s. From this case, we can not only see the absurdity and cruelty of the struggle within the party and the army, but also let people see what kind of "counter-revolutionaries" were fought in the so-called "one attack, three anti" movement.

Nan Lutong was very surprised. He said to Chai Jianhua: This is the first time I heard that there were struggles within the party and within the army in the "one attack, three anti" movement.
