In early summer, Lin Wenlong came to his office in the Chinese Department of Jiangxi University, said good morning to his colleagues, sat down and brewed a cup of fragrant Longjing tea, and picked up the newspaper, which was the People's Daily just delivered by the school staff.
Today’s front-page editorial titled “Why is this?”
contains a shocking line: “We must be wary of a small group of rightists who, in the name of helping the Communist Party rectify their movements, are trying to take the opportunity to overthrow the Communist Party and the working class and overthrow the great cause of socialism. " Lin Wenlong couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and continued reading.
He had mixed feelings in his heart.
How could this happen?
However, the last words of the article made him feel a little warm again.
"The party still needs to carry out rectification and listen to all well-intentioned criticisms from people inside and outside the party."
"My suggestions should be considered well-intentioned."
Lin Wenlong comforted himself, but felt uneasy.
He hurriedly packed up his things and went out.
After explaining to his colleagues, he went directly to the newspaper office to find Ruan Mingchuan.
Ruan Mingchuan told him that the central government had also issued an instruction titled, Instructions on organizing forces to prepare for counterattacks by rightists are far from clear.
The two of them worked together for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what the Central Committee meant.
A week later, the People's Daily published another editorial reporting on bourgeois trends during a period, pointing directly at Wenhui Po and Guangming Daily.
The leaders of these two newspapers were Zhang Bojun, vice chairman of the Democratic League and chairman of the Peasants and Workers' Party, and Zhang Bojun, the chairman of the Democratic League.
League Vice Chairman Luo Longji are both leading figures in the democratic parties.
Lin Wenlong felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
He was shivering all over.
He persisted in reading.
He took out his cigarette case and wanted to smoke a cigarette, but he was shivering and couldn't strike a match.
Someone knocked on the door and he wanted to say come in, but his throat could not make any sound. .
When Chen Nan came in, he looked worried and asked his uncle: "Professor Lin, have you read today's newspaper?"
Lin Wenlong said: "You see, you don't have to worry unfounded.
We are responding to the call of the United Front Department and these are well-intentioned opinions and suggestions."
Chen Nandao: "I think so.
The Party can distinguish between good and evil, loyal and traitorous."
Suddenly, the door of the room was pushed open.
A group of students and school staff looked at each other coldly.
The young teacher at the head said, "It just so happens that Chen Nan is here too.
You two will come with us to the auditorium to receive criticism."
Just as Lin Wenlong was about to defend himself, two workers pinched his arms and told him to go.
The auditorium of Jiangdong University can accommodate hundreds of people, and a banner "Resolutely Criticize Anti-Party and Anti-Socialist Bourgeois Rightists" is hung in front of the stage.
Lin Wenlong and Chen Nan looked at each other, when did they become rightists?
A female teacher wearing glasses held a newspaper and read impassionedly: "Some people say this is a conspiracy, but we say it is a conspiracy, because we have told the enemy in advance that only by letting them out can we annihilate them, and poisonous weeds can only be eliminated by letting them out."
Only when it is unearthed can it be easily hoeed out.”
Lin Wenlong and Chen Nan were charged with the same crime.
They conspired to usurp the party's leadership in universities, spread anti-party remarks, incited the masses to oppose socialism, promoted the capitalist system, and demanded the replacement of socialist politics with bourgeois politics, law, culture and education.
Legal and cultural education.
Also being criticized were more than a dozen professors, all of whom were members of the Democratic Party.
Some were accused of being dissatisfied with the socialist system just because they complained about low wages.
Others were accused of being dissatisfied with the socialist system just because they expressed opinions on the working methods of the college leaders.
I was told that members who oppose the party are against the party and against the dictatorship of the proletariat.
Facing hundreds of angry people, these professors were all trembling with fear.
Some people tried to defend themselves, but their voices were drowned in the roar of the crowd.
After criticizing for two hours, the criticism meeting ended.

Chen Nan said to Lin Wenlong: "It's really unfair.
I want to go to Secretary Zheng of the Provincial Party Committee to complain."
Lin Wenlong said: "Let's take a look at the situation first, maybe after the criticism is over, we can forget about it."
What they don't know at this point is that this is just the beginning.
Beijing, the Chen Mansion on West Chang'an Street, Chen Zikun read today's newspaper and closed his book in deep thought.
Liu Ting came over with a tea cup and said: "I heard that the Ministry of Communications held a meeting to criticize Zhang Bojun."
Chen Zikun said: "Zhang Bojun and Luo Longji are overestimating their capabilities and deserve to be criticized.
They actually want to take turns taking over the world with the Communist Party.
Isn't this rebellion?"
Liu Ting said: "The intellectual class hopes that the rulers can fulfill their promises and end the one-party dictatorship of the Kuomintang and follow the path of democratic constitutional government."
"It's ridiculous," Chen Zikun said, "The Communist Party has been revolutionizing for decades and has killed tens of millions of people.
How could it be that the world was surrendered to these scholars after I conquered Jiangdong?
I will still find anyone who dares to give me the throne."
Convict him from the head and deny him comfort.”
Liu Ting said: "But" Chen Zikun said: "You don't need to say it.
I know what you are going to say.
At this moment, it was necessary to unite the democratic parties to deal with Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang together.
It is also necessary to say what they like to hear.
Can you believe those?
Whoever believes it is a fool. , in my opinion, they deserve to be criticized.”
Liu Ting quickly handed over the tea cup: "Calm down, don't get excited."
Chen Zikun said: "I'm not excited, I just feel it.
Among those idiots who deserve to be unlucky, I am not one of them."
Liu Ting said: "Everyone really believed it back then, just like the vows made when we got married.
Didn't each other come from the bottom of our hearts?
After a few years of emotional discord, we wanted to divorce, and we really couldn't live together anymore."
Chen Zikun said: "I claimed to be ill and did not attend the Mingfang event initiated by the Kuomintang Revolution.
I was just worried about my family.
Wenlong and Xiaonan are very enthusiastic about politics, which is not a good thing.
Xiaobei, Chunhua, and Yan'er don't need to worry."
Liu Ting said: "I'm not worried either.
I'd better go back and take a look.
Let them remind them not to talk nonsense.
If they cause trouble, someone must deal with it."
Chen Zikun said: "Go back as soon as possible and call me long distance if you need anything."
Lin Wenlong was dismissed from the position of department chair, stopped teaching, and was at his disposal at any time.
He was uneasy and came to Huaijiang Daily to ask Ruan Mingchuan about the matter.
He was stopped by the guard at the door.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?"
Huaijiang Daily is a party newspaper, and registration is required to enter.
"Oh, I'm looking for President Ruan."
A contemptuous smile appeared on the guard's lips: "You said Ruan Mingchuan, the right-wing leader, you came to the wrong place.
He is not in the community, he is being held in the police station."
Lin Wenlong was shocked: "What's going on?
Why was President Ruan arrested?"

The guard said: "He is no longer the president.
He was dismissed from his post and investigated by the superiors.
He was arrested in accordance with the law because of his rampant attacks on the party and the country.
What awaits him will be severe punishment by law.
By the way, which unit do you belong to and what is your name?"
Lin Wenlong was so frightened that he didn't dare to state his unit and name.
He left in despair.
The guard looked at his back and sneered: "Humph, there is a nest of snakes and rats.
You can tell he is a rightist at a glance."
On the bus, Lin Wenlong was in shock, his heart pounding, when he heard two people discussing behind him.
"Has your unit held a criticism meeting recently?"
"Open it, find out Gong Zijun, a rightist, and severely criticize him."
"One meal is not enough.
If you ask me, you should fight every day and criticize every month to knock down these remnants of the bourgeoisie and put another foot on them so that they will never be able to stand up again."
"It's just that it's so arrogant to actually want to overthrow the leadership of the Communist Party."
Lin Wenlong got off the bus before arriving at the station.
He couldn't figure out why those who responded to the call and raised opinions were labeled as rightists.
He wanted to go to Vice Minister Bai of the United Front Work Department to get an explanation.
Naturally, they didn't even get through the provincial party committee gate.
In the office of Zheng Zeru, the first secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Bai Liang from the United Front Work Department and Xu Tingge from the Public Security Department were sitting.
On the table was a list of far-right elements in the province.
Not surprisingly, the list is full of leading figures from the democratic parties in Jiangdong, including Lin Longwen from the Democratic League, Gong Zijun from the Democratic National Construction Association, and non-partisan democrat Ruan Mingchuan.
The most unexpected thing is that there is also a student from Jiangdong University, Chen South.
Bai Liang said: "There are two hardest-hit areas where rightists gather in our province.
One is Jiangdong University and the other is Huaijiang Daily.
There have been several extreme right elements, among which the Lin Wenlong and Chen Nan clique of Jiang University are the most important.
They are so crazy that they actually conspired to usurp the party’s leadership in universities, and their anti-party remarks were supported by newspaper publisher Ruan Mingchuan.
These remarks were actually published in the party, causing extremely bad social impact.”
Xu Tingge said: "Ruan Mingchuan's counter-revolutionary arrogance is very arrogant.
When we went to arrest him, he uttered arrogant words and wildly attacked the party and the government.
I suggest that he be reformed through labor and sentenced to ten to eight years."
Zheng Zeru pointed to Chen Nan's name and said: "I know this man.
He is Chen Zikun's second son and he is still a student.
Why did he become an extreme rightist?"
Xu Tingge said: "Secretary Zheng, Chen Nan is not a student, but a cadre who studied full-time at the newspaper.
He and Lin Wenlong colluded to form a small counter-revolutionary group tied to the family.
His crimes are obvious and he has been registered with the Ministry of Education.
Considering what Ruan Mingchuan did, I suspect they have a mastermind behind the scenes.”
At this point, he deliberately let it slip and stopped talking.
Zheng Zeru said: "Go on."
Xu Tingge said: "The former governor of Jiangdong, Chen Zikun, Ruan Mingchuan and Gong Zijun are his old subordinates, Lin Wenlong is his brother-in-law, and Chen Nan is his son.
Every extreme rightist has contact with him.
Is this a coincidence?"
Bai Liang coughed dryly and said, "I agree with Director Xu.
This is worth digging into.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Maybe we can dig out a huge counter-revolutionary group."
First Secretary Zheng Zeru can understand the thoughts of his subordinates, that is, they are eager to make meritorious deeds, but they have not considered it thoroughly.
Chen Zikun is a person under the jurisdiction of the central government.
Even if he is labeled as a rightist, it is a matter for the central government.
Jiangdong Province has no right to interfere. , otherwise it will be suspected of overstepping one's duties.
These rightists are all Chen Zikun's former subordinates and family members.
It is not surprising that Chen Zikun has ruled Jiangdong for more than 20 years, and there are no intellectuals in political, economic and academic fields who are not his subordinates.
It would be unfair if the sins of these people were all attributed to Chen Zikun.
Ruan Mingchuan and Gong Zijun on the list are Yanban, but Lin Wenlong and Chen Nan are Chen Zikun's family members, especially Chen Nan is Chen Zikun's son.
Zheng Zeru knows this young man, has a good impression, and wants to protect him, but Jiangda is affiliated with education.
I'm afraid I won't be able to save the universities in my country this time even if I want to.
Thinking of this, Zheng Zeru signed the document, completely convicting these people of anti-party and anti-socialist charges
