1937 after the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Yang Sen led twenty armies to take part in the Sino-Japanese War, but Mao Xin and Xiong Kewu went to the battlefield to express their condolences to the soldiers. After the defeat of the Battle of Shanghai and Song Dynasties, Dan Mao Xin was transferred to Nanjing and was appointed as the chairman of the Military Council. He actively mobilized and United all forces in Sichuan to support the war of resistance. 1May, 938, returned to his hometown, settled in Chengdu, and served as senior consultant of Chuankang appeasement office. 194 1 was elected as a member of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and director of the East Sichuan Office. 1943 was elected as the third member of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. During the meeting, Chiang Kai-shek invited Dan Mao Xin to have dinner and had a conversation after dinner. Chiang Kai-shek asked, "What do you think of the war situation at home and abroad? Who wins and who loses? How to deal with the aftermath of winning China? " However, Mao Xin replied frankly: "There is no doubt that Germany and Italy will lose. As for the aftermath, the first thing is to win real friends in the world. The imperialist countries, especially the Japanese, didn't like making friends with the Soviet Union, so they invaded China in advance. After the start of the European battlefield, the Allies and Axis countries were divided into two camps. The United States, Britain and France were once extremely opposed to the Soviet Union, and now they have become comrades-in-arms with the Soviet Union. So now that Japan has failed, why not make peace with the Soviet Union? So Britain, America and France can't sneeze. When we have foreign aid, it will be easy to clean up the domestic mess, that is, the Eighth Route Army, which produces the party, and solve it by political means. After a long war of resistance, we should take care of the people of the whole country and should not fight civil war again. " However, Mao Xin got up and resigned, but Chiang Kai-shek refused to let him go and repeatedly asked him to talk about his interests. Chiang Kai-shek sincerely asked for advice, making him think that Chiang Kai-shek would put the country and the nation first. But after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek tore up the agreement of China People's Political Consultative Conference to fight civil war, and China resumed the war.
On July 3rd, Kloc-0/.0946, Li, Dan, Zhang Fang, Shi Jingting, Guo Rudong were appointed as generals of the National Revolutionary Army (all of them were not active generals, but retired for reserve service). 1947 was elected as a deputy to the National People's Congress of the Second Administrative Region of Sichuan, and 1948 was elected as a legislator. He opposed Chiang Kai-shek's dictatorship and actively carried out democratic activities. He participated in the "February 5th Symposium" against dictatorship organized by Jin and others in the Legislative Yuan. During the Beiping peace talks, he led the forum and published the Declaration of Support for Peace Talks. On the eve of Chengdu's liberation, he used his prestige and influence in Sichuan to assist the underground organizations of the * * * production party to contact and rebel in the Kuomintang military and political circles, which led to the uprising of Liu, Deng Xihou, Pan Wenhua and others, and contributed to the liberation of Chengdu.
1949 65438+1October 18 the sixth meeting of the government Council proposed and the fourth meeting of the central people's government approved it on February 2, 65438, but appointed Mao Xin as a member of the Southwest Military and Political Commission and Minister of Justice. 10, General He Long, entrusted by Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu De, personally visited Dan Mao Xin and asked him to give his opinions on the work in Sichuan.
During his tenure as Minister of Justice, it coincided with three major movements: land reform, suppression of counter-revolution, and resistance to US aggression and aid Korea. In the land reform and counter-insurgency movement, Mao Xin published a paper on how to combine repression with leniency, which was serialized by Xinhua Daily for three days and played a guiding role in the Southwest Movement. In the Southwest Ministry of Justice, he always discussed the work of the Ministry of Justice with Vice Minister Huang Yuanxin and cooperated closely. He often said: "We are non-party cadres and members of democratic parties. We should sincerely accept the leadership of the Party and sincerely respect Party cadres. Only in this way can we unite and do our work better. "
1July, 950, went to Beijing for a meeting and was introduced by Li, Zhu Yunshan. Joined the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang and served as a member of the Central Committee. Chuankang Temporary Trade Union was established, with Mao Xin as the vice chairman. When studying the "One Program", he said: "Over the years, the * * * production party has always led China, no matter from the political struggle between the * * * production party and the Kuomintang or from the battle on the battlefield. * * * Without leadership, which party can afford to lead? Having a post-reporter is simply arrogant and not desirable. " He added: "Our people saw that Chiang Kai-shek and his gang were corrupt at that time, hung up the signboard of supporting Sun Yat-sen's Three People's Principles, and practiced a dictatorial one-party dictatorship. Sell dog meat to agree with the idea of * * * producers, standing on the side waving flags and shouting. That's all, it's really embarrassing for the producers of * * * to treat me like this. "
1953, the call for financial improvement was issued, and the Sichuan Kang Temporary Working Committee of the Chinese Revolutionary Committee held a meeting in Chongqing, where it made a warm speech. He said: "The decision to resist US aggression and aid Korea is correct. In the past, we in China always knelt at the feet of foreign powers to survive, but now we dare to fight against the most powerful American imperialism in the world and improve the spirit of the Chinese nation, just like Chairman Mao said, the people of China. China's anti-corruption, anti-waste and anti-bureaucracy campaigns have won wide support. The * * * production party has taken over many difficult situations left over by the Kuomintang. I think it is impossible to clean up, but the * * * production party has the ability to clean up. Liu Qingshan, Zhang Zishan and other senior cadres in Tianjin resolutely dealt with it, strictly enforced the law, and cleaned up all the sludge and muddy water left by the old society. Who dares to make mistakes again and challenge the law? In a short period of three years, the finance has been straightened out, the economy has been improved, the people of the whole country have been brought into the normal production track, and their lives have been improved, showing a vibrant, peaceful and prosperous situation. Governing the country in this way, I believe that before long, our country will be strong and convincing. Why is the country progressing so fast? It is mainly because the * * * production party has a good leadership and a large number of honest and clean cadres, so it can be quickly transformed and refreshing. "
However, Mao Xin always cares about the old comrades coming from the old society and helps them understand the new society and move towards a new life. Some old colleagues feel that they have no rights after the new government takes office. But Mao Xin explained to them, "This is because you don't understand the Party's work habits and don't want to learn new working methods. Through studying and thinking, I don't feel entitled or powerless. For example, when I was Minister of Justice, their opinions on research work were reported to me at the meeting. If I have any opinions and opinions, I will publish them, which means I have the right to work. I learned the working methods of the production party. "
Zhou Junshi, a revolutionary martyr and former president of Tongji University, was killed by Kuomintang agents in Zhazidong, Geleshan, Chongqing on the eve of national liberation. Before he died, he sent a message to Dan Mao Xin in prison, asking Dan to take care of his family and children on his behalf. Before the founding of New China, Zhou Junshi's wife went to Hong Kong and her son stayed in the mainland. However, Mao Xin did not live up to his old friend's entrustment, and managed to fund Zhou Junshi's son to study in Tsinghua and work in the Ministry of National Defense after graduation. The son-in-law of Zhengming Xi, a member of the old alliance, was sentenced to prison for historical problems. Five people in this family lived in despair. They asked Dan Mao Xin for help, but they were taken in to help them with their work and school.
Liu Yazi once wrote a poem for Dan, saying that he was "a man with a history of forty-five years, and he was angry at the all-rounder in West Shu". However, Mao Xin is good at Yi Li and poetry, especially calligraphy. He studied Tang Kai from an early age, especially the study of Yan Ti. Later, influenced by Kang Youwei's thought of seeking change and worshipping monuments, he began to pursue Wei, Jin, Qin, Han and Shang Dynasties. He devoted himself to studying Han Li and Weibei, and liked to study inscriptions. It is believed that the tablet and the post have their own aesthetic characteristics, the tablet is strong and simple, and the post is elegant and elegant. His calligraphy skills are profound and superb, which is compatible with the strengths of various schools. His calligraphy is full of knowledge and accomplishment, and has formed his own style. Whether he was an officer or busy with government affairs, his hobby of reading and writing never gave up. Therefore, his calligraphy ink is well-known in modern China. His calligraphy inscriptions have appeared in many places of interest in China, such as the Xiangshan Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Beijing, Dujiangyan in Chengdu and Wang Cong Temple.
1954, the central government abolished southwest China, but Mao Xin went to work in Chengdu. He has served as the first, second and third NPC deputies, provincial deputies and the first, second and third CPPCC vice-chairmen. Member of the Central Committee and Standing Committee of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang, Chairman of the Sichuan Provincial Committee of the Chinese Revolutionary Committee. 1965165438+1On October 7th, Mao Xin died of heart failure in Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital at the age of 79. At the memorial service, Xiong Kewu, an old friend of Dan Mao Xin, presented the elegiac couplet:
Sixty years after the revolution, there were not many classmates, long alliances, and strong comrades in arms. Bearing in mind the lifelong friendship, teachers and friends depended on each other, but they were separated forever. What is pain? Seven thousand miles stopped at the sight of the clouds, sat and talked about the road, got up and walked forward, and saw the glory of the motherland shining all over the world, that is, the loess was buried for a long time, and I still smiled when I died.
