On the second day of Chongqing's liberation, the Chen family set up a liaison office for comrades-in-arms and families of martyrs who escaped from the Slag Cave White Public Relations Massacre. After this job, Chen was assigned to Chongqing Women's Federation as the deputy director of the production department.
At that time, the Women's Federation had accumulated a large number of young cadres in the liberated areas. Most of them are family members of cadres at all levels in provinces and cities. In terms of age, many people can only be regarded as Chen's daughters, but they have all become Chen's bosses. However, those legendary stories follow the eldest sister in the office, and she is still respected. She surprised young colleagues from liberated areas all over the world: she always wore a watch in one hand and a blue jade bracelet on the other wrist. She looks like a female scholar. However, when she met those old friends who wore brocade cheongsam, robes and mandarin jackets, bowed and laughed loudly, she became bold.
Chen didn't take these surprises seriously at all. She was liberated, and the days when she was proud of herself began. It's time for her to show her strength. Now she leads a group of widows like her, and she works hard. In the newly liberated Chongqing, many important things are going on at the same time: eliminating bandits, opposing hegemony, catching spies, banning prostitution, sheltering beggars and vagrants, and organizing various societies. Everyone's fate is ups and downs in the great turmoil. Chen's side soon gathered all kinds of job seekers, including a group of people with "complicated identities": Lei, who has saved Chen and his family many times, went to Taiwan Province Province, and his wife Yang Ziran, whose life and death are still uncertain, also came to see Chen Sanjie. In the attached letter retained by Chen, there is even a letter from the warlord Yang Hanyin. At that time, the guerrillas decided to accept Yang Hanyin's excuse of "wooing" and "borrowing" and go to the front to meet the Red Army. How can you think that he is Yang Hanyin's battalion commander Chen? He took a lot of weapons and silver coins for nothing, which can be regarded as "indirect support" for your revolution. Please arrange for me to stand on my own feet.
Of course no problem! At this time, Chen not only has this ability, but also takes it for granted. We are not even as good as those comrades who run the mud beach, and we don't even understand the truth of gratitude. These women who helped the revolution are innocent. Arranging them to do what they can to support themselves is also a kind of transformation.
Just as some people who denounce money are eager for money, some people who oppose authority are eager for authority. Chen's respect among martyrs and workers has been unpleasant, and it will naturally be unbearable for her not to ask for instructions and report. Just then, someone came to me and wanted to donate his farm to the Women's Federation.
Many years ago, Chen wanted to start a farm. At that time, she was still in "free love" with Liao Yubi and had such a beautiful yearning for collective farms in the Soviet Union. She named her future farm "Jianhua"-building a new China.
So she took active action and participated in the specific planning. Seeing that things were coming to an end, Chen raised the matter with great interest to the production department of the Women's Federation, and the production department immediately informed her boss, the production minister. This 27-year-old young minister, who experienced land reform in the liberated areas, is now sitting in Chongqing and will also sit in the whole southwest in the future. The Minister of Production advised Sister Chen that you should consider your identity. Perhaps the farm will not only affect itself, but also affect the women's Federation and lose the prestige of the party. What's more, this is probably a trick played by the landlord!
Everyone thought it was over. However, soon, the Chongqing Municipal Committee formally arranged to reduce rent, repay mortgage and crack down on rural bullies. One day, a dozen peasant brothers found the Women's Federation with a letter of introduction from the Municipal Farmers' Association. They want to talk to Minister Chen of the production department, saying that a landlord in their village declared that his land had been donated to the Women's Federation to run a farm when he reduced the rent and repaid the mortgage. They came to see if the landlord was escaping from the movement and playing tricks. Chen denied it to the peasant brothers on the spot.
Things have become more serious, and the nature has changed: from "not paying attention to your own image, which may affect the prestige of the party", it has suddenly escalated to "helping the landlord to avoid rent reduction and mortgage repayment". Chen's situation immediately changed dramatically. In a very short time, the Women's Federation held many meetings, large and small, to "criticize and help" Chen Jinxing. In order to prove that her policy level is really as low as the leading comrades said, young colleagues who usually respect her searched their stomachs and "reported" her many behaviors that did not conform to the principle of party spirit.
1936, Chen was ordered to study military affairs in the Soviet Union. He was arrested in Wanxian and later released from prison. This is a picture of the day I got out of prison.
However, Chen's fierce criticism is in sharp contrast with his attitude. The organization minister who received authentic "counter-revolutionary" education in the Soviet Union was angry: this person has no class position and has such great resistance to organizing help. He must be punished and should be persuaded to quit the party! The result of the discussion is naturally simple: Chen resolutely refused. The head of the organization department of the municipal party Committee flew into a rage: don't you agree to persuade you to quit the party? Then fire!
Only one month after the incident, in the shock of the comrades, this punishment decision was passed at the branch meeting attended by all party member of the Women's Federation. The meeting read out Chen's materials and then asked for a vote on the issue of expulsion from the party. Obviously, there is no doubt about it. Chen defended himself in the tide of great criticism. People interrupted her and were indignant at her daring to defend herself. A young party member suddenly spoke: I don't agree. Her name is Lai Song, and she is also an underground party member. Why did she say that Chen's consciousness was not high? People are old party member in the 1920s. They fought bravely with their husbands in northern Sichuan. After her husband died, she has been a revolutionary widow and widowed mother, insisting on liberation under such difficult conditions. How could she be unconscious?
The person sent by the organization department said coldly: the past cannot explain the present. Lai Song stood up: Who do you represent? Do you represent the organization or yourself? Are you irresponsible? Come and be quiet.
When the situation deteriorated, Bian Tao, secretary of the Party branch of the Women's Federation, also stood up. She clearly expressed her opinion to the people in the organization department: you represent the organization, but you don't know the situation either. I'm a branch secretary, and I don't even know much about this. I don't think it is prudent to expel a comrade from the party based on such materials, and I don't agree.
But all these objections are useless. The municipal party Committee received the arrangement of the Women's Federation's "planning group"
The vice minister of organization department is also a cadre who narrowly escaped death in the underground party. He is familiar with Chen, but he can't speak for Chen. He took the materials to discuss with other comrades in the underground party. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, it is better to do the work and let the elder sister agree to "dissuade". After all, "dissuasion" is better than "dismissal".
This day is 1952 June 16. Later, I learned that if she insisted on not writing this application for quitting the party, she would not only be officially expelled from the party at the meeting, but also be "expelled from public office" and refused to assign a job. As a result, all contributions were lost and all sacrifices were written off. When she struggled to realize her half-life dream, she was turned into the object of transformation by "one of her own".
Someone lamented afterwards: If Chen was not so active after liberation, she would have nothing.
Chen left 42 applications for joining the Party, some were calm, some were euphemistic, some were angry and some were sad. She has been writing. After all, the premise of her "agreeing to quit the party" is that the party organization promised her to "rejoin the party."
It was also during this period that great changes took place: the "Three Anti-five evils" movement began. The production minister of the Women's Federation was quickly dismissed by the Women's Federation and went down to the grassroots trade union. Another woman who fought fiercely with Chen was expelled from the party three months after Chen left and sent to the Civil Affairs Bureau for "reform". She said, Sister Chen, how do I know they will come to you? Chen was silent, finally sighed and said, wait, things will always come out. She didn't expect this to be thirty years.
1960 In early summer, Chen was admitted to the hospital for malignant lymphoma. Chongqing Municipal Committee specially instructed to save Sister Chen's life at all costs. She is often surrounded by party and government dignitaries in front of her bed, comforting her and praising her. Only when Chen took their hand and asked to solve their own "organizational problems" did they falter or remain silent: many problems in the revolutionary process were difficult to solve, including the problem of face.
Finally, someone came to see her. This person is the former production minister of the Women's Federation. At this time, Chen Lian's poems were almost speechless. The production minister gently walked to the bed of Sister Chen and took her hand. This hand is bony, and the blue jade bracelet is still on her wrist, which was given to her by her husband.
The production minister was in tears. Ten years have passed since that struggle, and China has experienced many sports. She finally saw the truth of the movement, tasted the pain of being hurt, and began to regret it long ago.
Kerwin Chen is crying silently. At this point, all the pain, anger and sadness she showed in those "applications for joining the party" have subsided, and she just quietly looked at the "leader" who is about the same age as her daughter. The pain of her life was poured into these tears. During the 25 years from joining the revolution to welcoming liberation, Chen spent 1 1 year looking for a party. Unexpectedly, he got his party membership back, but he lost to this woman in the end. Maybe my life would be different if I hadn't met her?
Chen knows that the most severe punishment for a person is to make his mind suffer unforgivable pain forever. The woman in front of me, as long as she gives her a resentful look, will make her soul restless forever. However, Chen silently took off the blue jade bracelet on his wrist and put it on the hand of the production minister. The production minister wrapped the jade bracelet in a delicate handkerchief and treasured it. Later, it was copied during the Cultural Revolution and never came down.
On July 2 1 65438,960, Chen applied to join the party for the last time, which was her 42nd application. The next day, she rode away by crane in the quiet cicada singing. On August 1982 and 16, Chongqing Daily solemnly announced in an important article on the front page that Chen party member, a comrade of the old underground party, was rehabilitated and his party membership was restored. At this time, it has been 30 years and 2 months since she "quit the party".
