Wake up（314）

 

314

 

After the party in the small hotel, Nan Yangsheng said to his sister Nan Liwa, looking back, the most brilliant moments were the playing and playing in our childhood, chasing our dreams when we were teenagers, even though we grew up in poverty, we knew What is responsibility and responsibility? My mother and grandfather have paid too much for us.

Nan Yangsheng persuaded Nan Liwa to move to Hong Kong, but Nan Liwa declined. It turned out that when my grandfather passed away, there was an old man in a wheelchair, accompanied by his son Pan Tianliang, who often came to the grandfather's cemetery to offer sacrifices. Later, I found out that the old man was called Lao Pantou, 75 years old. He was a patient of Chai Jianhua and suffered from urinary incontinence. Therefore, he also got to know Nanyang Sheng's grandfather, He Jiafu.

Nan Liwa told Nan Yangsheng: Lao Pantou used to be pink during the land reform. Old Pantou's son is called Pan Tianliang, nicknamed Niu Wa. Niu Wa is unmarried because she takes care of the lonely old man.

At that time, Nan Liwa transferred the clinic that Chai Jianhua left to her to a friend to take care of it, and she took the initiative to be Lao Pantou's nanny. She took care of Old Pan the same way she took care of her mother and grandfather. Nan Liwa was worried that when she went to Hong Kong, there would be no one to take care of Lao Pantou. Another reason is that Pan Tianliang formally proposed to Nan Liwa, and promised to go to Singapore to develop together in the future.

Accompanied by Nan Liwa, Nanyangsheng and Wanru went to visit Lao Pantou.

Lao Pan has bad legs and feet, but his thinking is clear. Lao Pantou was very happy to see Nanyangsheng and Wanru come to visit him specially.

Old Pantou said: I am already old and dying, and there is not much time left. I often think of those things when I was young. The course of my past life is insignificant, and people's nostalgia is the strongest. But no matter how beautiful the memory is, it has become a thing of the past. Everything is leaving like flowing water. When you want to look back, there is only a mess left, like a maple leaf floating on the water, leaving only slight ripples. It seems that everything is so calm, only time is left with pain. Painful obscenity.

It turned out that Lao Pantou was a person with profound cultural heritage.

Old Pantou said: Memories will change the taste of the past. Memories are good, but some memories are just useless memories, so we should discard them. There are no beautiful stories in my life, but the ones with the most spectrum in my memories are great men like Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping. Just because they are full of memories of my youth, youth, middle age and old age, they cannot be forgotten, and they are hard to forget. There is no immortal bird in the world, and the emperor does not have a long live grandfather. Zhou Enlai is dead, Zhu De is dead, Mao Zedong is dead, Deng Xiaoping is dead, I can live to see them die one by one, enough.

Nan Yangsheng was a little surprised, not knowing what else Old Pan wanted to say.

Old Pantou said: I have admired great people since I was a child. In the past, I held a respect for Zhou Enlai. In my mind, he is one of the few positive images among the many leaders of the Communist Party. At that time, he was called "Premier Zhou". Some people are so full of closeness to him that they don't even want the character "Zhou" in their birth. Call him "Prime Minister". Unfortunately, after his death, Premier Zhou's image of a gentleman in my mind was also shattered. This time it was heartbreakingly broken. It's like a gold coin that you carefully collect and suddenly discover that it is just a piece of gold-plated lead. The annoyance of losing value for a while, the anger of being deceived, the blind self-blame, and complex emotions will all stir up in my heart.

Old Pan continued: It all started with my son Pan Tianliang's question. One day, Tianliang suddenly asked me: "What do you think of Zhou Enlai?" I briefly stated my opinion. Unexpectedly, Tianliang said coldly: "I used to be just like you, but one incident overturned the image of Zhou Enlai in my heart." I was surprised and would like to hear more about it.

My son Pan Tianliang told me that he saw a document in the Harvard University library on the Internet. During the difficult period of the War of Resistance Against Japan in 1943, the famous Communist Party agent Pan Hannian was sent by Mao Zedong to Shanghai to secretly contact Wang Jingwei and negotiate with the Japanese occupying forces. A secret ceasefire agreement was reached. , and the Japanese army stopped the "clearance" and "encirclement and suppression" of the New Fourth Army to give the New Fourth Army room to operate. After the surrender of the Japanese invaders, Pan Hannian's secret contact with Japan and Wang was exposed by the former Wang Jingwei regime official in custody. However, Pan Hannian exposed this secret history to Chen Yi, who should not have known about it. Mao Zedong was furious when he heard the news. After being imprisoned for seven years, Pan Hannian was tried as a traitor and sentenced to 15 years in prison. In fact, Pan Hannian was imprisoned in Qincheng Prison for 20 years, then changed his name and surname, and was transferred to Hunan No. 3 Labor Reform Farm for another 2 years until his death. His wife Dong Hui was implicated and accompanied him in prison for life.

Tianliang said: Some experts wrote an article revealing that Pan Hannian's case was not rehabilitated until 1982, by which time the Pans and his wife had both passed away for many years. The evidence to support Pan Hannian's innocence was clearly obtained at the time of the trial. Xie Juezai, president of the Supreme Court, said: "Who can save Yue Fei?" It means that since Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty wanted to punish Yue Fei with death, Dali Temple had no choice but to conclude the case as "unfounded". Inside the High Court, Xie Juezai clearly told the two judges: "The Pan Hannian case is a case assigned by the central government, and we are only going through legal procedures." Zhou Enlai was mainly active in Chongqing during the second KMT-CPC cooperation period, away from the core leadership. He had no knowledge of Pan Hannian's plot to collude with the Japanese invaders with Mao Zedong's tricks in his pocket. He just felt strange about the sudden arrest of an important official under his command, the deputy mayor of Shanghai, so he sent someone to investigate. Luo Qingchang, head of the International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, also found records of telegrams between Pan Hannian and the central government at that time, proving that Pan Hannian acted according to orders; Bo Yibo believed that Zhou should come forward to correct this unjust case. But Zhou Enlai instructed Bo Yibo, Luo Qingchang, etc. to keep silent and never mention the name Pan Hannian to anyone again. Later, Zhou Enlai signed and approved the judgment of the High Court against Pan Hannian.

Tianliang said to me angrily. "In order to cover up the scandal of Mao Zedong's collusion with the Japanese invaders, Pan Hannian acted as a scapegoat and was not allowed to make a public defense. Zhou Enlai knew that he was wronged, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb, and did not dare to speak to Mao Zedong impartially. What is the point of a prime minister who dare not uphold justice in the face of big right and wrong respect?"

I said: "I don't know about this period of history. It's true. The Communist Party is too dark inside. If it is a meritorious service to unite Japan against Chiang Kai-shek, then Mao Zedong should be the first one, and Pan Hannian's contribution should be second; if it is a crime , Mao Zedong is the chief villain, and Pan Hannian is the coercion. Now it seems that this credit for saving the Communist Party is a crime that endangers the nation. Mao Zedong did not have the courage to announce it to the public, so he charged Pan Hannian with a crime and let him die of old age in prison. The purpose. The court and the procuratorate were also ordered to cooperate in creating unjust cases; the prime minister of the government is wise and safe, so where is the fairness and justice in this country? Just based on these, it will also subvert Zhou Enlai’s image in my heart.”

Old Pantou told Nan Yangsheng: I don't fully believe what my son said, because he is still young. So I asked him to find some materials about evaluating Zhou Enlai and show me.

Tianliang quickly gave me a stack of related materials.

I put on my reading glasses and began to peruse the data. I later discovered that it was normal for Zhou Enlai to abandon his principles, bow down, and even act as a minion in front of Mao Zedong. The Pan Hannian case is by no means an isolated example.

Once I broke the myth of Duke Zhou, I really discovered many hidden diseases of Duke Zhou. On March 18, 1968, during the chaotic period of the Cultural Revolution, Zhou Enlai and the rebels held a meeting in the Great Hall of the People. Jiang Qing came in in front of Zhou Enlai and the others, and cursed aggressively: "Prime Minister, Cheng Yuangong (Chief Zhou Enlai's guard) ) is a dog by your side, and Sun Weishi is a wolf by your side!" She expressed her hatred of Sun Weishi to the rebels. The Red Guards took action upon hearing the news and arrested and criticized Sun Weishi. Sun Weishi was tortured to death in prison. The body was naked, but a pair of handcuffs were locked on the wrists. Sun Weishi is the daughter of the CCP martyr Sun Bingwen. Sun Bingwen and Zhou Enlai were colleagues in the party when they were in the Whampoa Military Academy, and died in 1927. In 1937, 16-year-old Sun Weishi went to the Wuhan Office of the Eighth Route Army to defect to the revolution. Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao liked this child very much and adopted her as a foster daughter. Sun Weishi is talented in acting, young and beautiful. He once acted with Jiang Qing on the Yan'an stage, and Jiang Qing was displeased by taking away Jiang Qing's prize. In 1939, Sun went to Moscow Oriental University to study drama performance and directing. When Mao Zedong went to Moscow for negotiations in 1949, Sun Weishi served as the interpreter of the delegation, and he was with Mao Zedong like a shadow. Mao Zedong did not let Jiang Qing accompany him, and Jiang Qing became jealous and resentful. Although Jiang Qing persecuted Sun Weishi viciously, he also had vicious motives. What is puzzling is that the order to arrest Sun Weishi was signed by Zhou Enlai himself.

Lao Pantou told Nanyang Sheng:

During the Cultural Revolution, Zhou Enlai ordered the arrest of most of the top figures who were thrown into prison. Including He Long, Wang Guangmei, Yang Chengwu, Yu Lijin, Fu Chongbi, etc.

On September 25, 1968, Zhou Enlai put on a look of righteous indignation and criticized 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 full of five poisons and heinous. counter-revolutionaries!" Zhou Enlai also had more emotional remarks to criticize Liu Bian's mind: "We must first applaud the great proletarian cultural revolution launched by our great leader Chairman Mao himself. Without this great revolution, how can Liu The crimes of treason, betrayal of the country, and murder of comrades by the thieves and their gang, dug so deep and so wide? Of course we still have to dig, we must not relax in the slightest, and we must not lose our vigilance. If we cannot finish digging, we will hand over to People who come later! We would like to thank Vice Chairman Lin for holding high the great red banner of Mao Zedong Thought, and spreading Mao Zedong Thought and Chairman Mao’s voice (quotations) to millions of PLA and hundreds of millions of working people. There are no hundreds of millions of working people and hundreds of millions Tens of thousands of soldiers of the People's Liberation Army have mastered Mao Zedong Thought, how can they launch this cultural revolution from bottom to top and from top to bottom with the participation of hundreds of millions of revolutionary people? The spread of Mao Zedong Thought, the transmission of Chairman Mao's voice, and the implementation of Chairman Mao's instructions , This is to test whether we are enough to be a Communist Party member and whether we can maintain the standards of the late revolution. In this regard, we must learn from you! I want to learn from you even more!"

Zhou Enlai has both the cold heart of killing people knowing that he is wrong, and the thick-skinnedness of applauding people knowing that he is wrong. The absurd propaganda that appeared during the Cultural Revolution: "Lin Biao and Mao Zedong joined forces in Jinggangshan", "Lin Biao led the August 1st Nanchang Uprising" originated from Zhou Enlai. On September 9, 1967, a meeting to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Autumn Harvest Uprising was held in the Workers’ Gymnasium. Zhou made a speech: “I want to tell you that the August 1st Nanchang Uprising was not led by Zhou Enlai, but by Vice Chairman Lin. I, Zhou Enlai, just participated That's all. Zhou Enlai has gone too far in order to highlight Lin Biao's newly promoted position as deputy commander in chief.

At this meeting, Zhou Enlai still behaved in a gaffe. With a hysterical attitude, he swore allegiance to Mao Zedong and Lin Biao. He said, "Comrades, I understand everyone's feelings. You love Chairman Mao and Comrade Jiang Qing. This is absolutely correct. I completely understand your feelings, but I want to tell you that I, Zhou Enlai, love Chairman Mao no more than Zhou Enlai. You guys are bad. ——I, Zhou Enlai, made many mistakes in my life, but I support Chairman Mao and Vice Chairman Lin. If you don’t believe me, please take a look, my heart is red with Zhou Enlai.” Having said this, Premier Zhou suddenly He ripped off the shirt with his hands, exposing his chest. Fortunately, Zhou Enlai didn't have a knife by his side, otherwise he might have cut himself open with a knife like King Zhou's prime minister, Bi Gan, to show the emperors and ministers that he had no intention of treason.

Old Pan sighed:

The prime minister of the country swore allegiance to the chairman of a party, what happened to this country? What happened to the prime minister of this country? What happened to this party? What happened to the chairman of this party? farce.

Old Pantou said again: If it is about Mao Zedong's mistakes and scandals, Zhou Enlai has an instinctive reaction and immediately rushes to cover up the scandal. His own function is a fig leaf. For example, in 1961, Jia Qiyun and three others from the National Bureau of Statistics asked the provinces to fill in a statistical table on food and population changes. After the summary, the national population decreased by tens of millions! This material was only reported to Zhou Enlai and Mao Zedong. Zhou Enlai notified Zhou Boping after seeing it: destroy it immediately, and don't spread it outside. Soon Zhou Enlai called again and asked Zhou Boping: Have you destroyed it? Zhou Boping replied that the materials and printing plates were destroyed under the joint supervision of the three of us. Zhou Enlai felt relieved. After the Great Famine broke out, Zhou Enlai made several lengthy speeches, eloquently advocating that China is a country with neither foreign nor domestic debt in the world, encouraging everyone to be proud of it. They kept repeating nonsense about "natural disasters" and "Soviet revisionist debt duress" causing a nationwide famine. But he has been avoiding the piercing question of "how many people starved to death".

Nan Yangsheng fell into deep thought:

In order to cover up Mao Zedong's heinous crime, Zhou Enlai sneaked around and destroyed evidence. His prime minister is not working for ordinary people, he is just a retainer of Mao Zedong! Looking back on Zhou Enlai's career as a premier, he has always been an official for Mao Zedong and regards Mao Zedong as the main one. Will history forgive him for such an act?
