The “two mortalities” of Hua Guofeng are not new to Chinese born before 1980, when in 1976, before Mao Zedong died, he finally had no choice but to hand over the power he had kept by any means to Hua Guofeng, who had “reassured” him, and Hua Guofeng did not “fail” to live up to his trust. “The first of these is that the government has not been able to provide the necessary support to Mao.
The first big secret: Hua Guofeng is Mao’s eldest son
According to an article in Hong Kong‘s Open magazine, Hua Guofeng was Mao’s eldest son, and in 1920, Mao met and lived with a woman named Yao while he was in Changsha. In 1921, Yao gave birth to Hua Guofeng, who died two years later. After that, Mao always entrusted relatives to raise Hua Guofeng, and let him take the adopted Family‘s surname of Hua, named Hua Guangzu. After the victory of the war, the name was changed to Hua Chengwu; during the civil war, the name was changed to Hua Guofeng.
In February 1949, after the 2nd Plenary Session of the 7th CPC Central Committee, Zhou Enlai proposed in the Politburo meeting that Hua Guofeng, the county party secretary of Jiaocheng County in Shanxi Province, be transferred to the military administration of Beiping City. Mao did not give his consent due to certain considerations. In the early fifties, Mao proposed to transfer Hua Guofeng to Xiangtan area of Hunan province to be the secretary of the local party committee, while in Mao’s nine trips to Hunan or passing through Changsha, he asked the provincial party committee to arrange a meeting with Hua Guofeng, and asked Tao Cast, then the first secretary of the Central South Bureau and Zhang Pinghua, secretary of the Hunan provincial party committee, to pay more attention to Hua Guofeng. In the early 1960s, Hua Guofeng was promoted to Minister of Culture and Education, Minister of United Front Work and Secretary of the Hunan Provincial Committee.
In the spring of 1966, at the behest of Mao, Zhou Enlai, Kang Sheng and Wang Dongxing had a conversation with Hua Guofeng in Beijing about his Life. In 1968, Hua Guofeng became the first secretary of the Hunan Provincial Committee and head of the provincial revolutionary committee. Whenever Mao returned to Hunan, Hua Guofeng accompanied him. In addition, Hua Guofeng went to Beijing two or three times a year on the pretext of reporting directly to Mao on local work. 1971, after the Lin Biao incident, Mao transferred Hua Guofeng to Beijing as a member of the Politburo, Vice Premier and Minister of Public Security, and asked him by name to attend the Politburo Standing Committee meetings. 1976, before Mao died, in order not to “overturn” the case after his death, he gave the power to Hua Guofeng. The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have a good idea of what you are doing.
After Mao’s death, Hua Guofeng followed the advice of the Chinese Communist Marshal Ye Jianying and staged a palace coup to arrest the “Gang of Four”. After Mao’s death, Hua Guofeng was praised as the “wise leader” of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and served as Chairman of the CPC Central Committee, Chairman of the Central Military Commission and Premier of the State Council. Deng Xiaoping took over the power of the CCP.
It is said that before Mao’s death, he was completely unable to swallow Food and liquids and had to be put through a gastric tube to ensure that he had the necessary nutrients and water to swallow food, but Mao himself did not agree to be put through a gastric tube. In order to convince Mao, it was decided that Zhang Chunqiao, Wang Hongwen, Wang Dongxing and Hua Guofeng would try it first, and Hua Guofeng did not think twice to immediately state that he was willing to try the gastric tube from the nostril into the stomach to feed first. This shows that his performance in front of the couch is not only because he is a member of the Politburo Standing Committee, but also shows the filial piety of the son of man. The subsequent construction of Mao’s “memorial hall” in Tiananmen Square was probably also for this reason.
On December 26, 2002, Hua Guofeng and Mao’s daughters Li Min and Li Ne went to Mao’s “memorial hall” together to celebrate Mao’s birthday. The wreath was also written with the words “Faithful son Guofeng” on the wreath’s ribbon. But that afternoon, the wreath was taken away by the staff.
In fact, Hua Guofeng wrote to the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee in the early 1980s, asking for his birth name to be restored and changed to Mao, but was rejected by the Political Bureau because it was not good for the party, for Mao and for Hua Guofeng himself. In 2002, on the eve of the 16th National Congress, Hua Guofeng wrote to the Central Committee again, asking for his birth name to be restored to his biological father or mother, but was eventually given the same answer as before, for the same reason of maintaining Mao’s “reputation” and the Party’s The reason was to maintain Mao’s “reputation” and the influence of the Party. However, this Time, he was allowed to return to Hunan Province Xiangtan to retire. The second major secret: Hua Guofeng’s life is not only a matter of the “reputation” of Mao, but also of the “influence” of the Party.
The second big secret: Hua Guofeng had already resigned from the party during his lifetime.
Another secret of Hua Guofeng that the Chinese Communist Party has been hiding is that he quit the Communist Party long ago. As early as 2001, The Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun exposed the news that Hua Guofeng had already resigned from the party during his lifetime. According to a foreign news report, Hu Jintao had hosted a meeting on Hua Guofeng’s request to resign from the party. At the meeting, Hua Guofeng firmly stated his attitude, which made Hu embarrassed.
In addition, in public, the Chinese Communist Party officials were tight-lipped about Hua Guofeng’s resignation from the Party, but they did not dare to deny it publicly. At a press conference at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on November 6 of that year, a Japanese journalist asked Zhu Bangzuo, the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, “Did Hua Guofeng ask to resign from the Party?” Zhu Bangzuo said, “This question is not within the scope of my answer, don’t ask such questions at the Foreign Ministry press conference in the future.” At that time, some media analysis said that Zhu Bangzao’s dodge was an indication that the incident was not an empty talk.
In 2005, several media outlets reported that Hua had proposed to Hu Jintao to resign from the party on the grounds that the CCP had betrayed the legitimate rights of peasants and workers and that the CCP represented the interests of corrupt officials and capitalists. The media also reported that those who followed Hua Guofeng to submit the report of resignation from the Party were: the former director of Hua Guofeng’s office, Hua’s old security guard, Hua’s confidential secretary, and Hua’s full-time driver. This is actually a collective withdrawal from the party branch.
According to official information, Hua Guofeng, a member of the Central Committee since the First Plenary Session of the 15th CPC Central Committee, took leave of absence on the grounds of “health” and did not attend any of the Plenary Sessions or any of the Central Working Meetings until his death on August 20, 2008.
The two major secrets about Hua Guofeng covered up by the Chinese Communist Party can be seen from its selfish, self-interested nature, the ultimate goal of its cover-up is to keep people from knowing the truth. But there is no permanent secret in this world, sooner or later, it will be known.
