The history of the Red Guard’s fortunes: how many people did Song Binbin kill?

Martial fighting pioneer Song Binbin

First information.

There are a vast number of articles and books exposing the havoc of the Cultural Revolution, so there is no need to dwell on them here, just briefly. From Liu Shaoqi and Peng Dehuai down to ordinary cadres, celebrities and intellectuals, countless people died. The “four types of people” in the countryside, from the elderly to young children, were massacred in whole villages and villages. Mao Zedong turned a large number of innocent high school students into murderous little devils, and when he received the Red Guard Song Binbin in Tiananmen Square, he said that her name “Bun Bun Bun” was not good, and said, “You have to be martial! The Red Guards’ fascist atrocities were provoked nationwide, and the killings were for fun, Song Binbin immediately changed her name to ‘Song To Wu’ and competed with others, seeing that others killed 6 people, Song Binbin immediately killed 8 people.

It doesn’t matter what the name of the person being beaten is, as long as someone says that this person is a “cow, ghost, snake and god” is enough, with a belt, stick, iron, one by one, not with bullets. Mao Zedong created factions to provoke massive nationwide martial arts fights, and even the military intervened in some areas, resulting in countless deaths and injuries. …… The entire Cultural Revolution was a fascist holocaust, destroying not only many innocent lives, but also thousands of years of Chinese cultural unity, destroying people’s conscience and turning them into ghosts.

Second information.

A sense of superiority alone does not lead to murder and arson. But the superiority feeling in the fire for abuse, once ignited, will become a rampage, killing and arson will become a piece of cake. Sure enough, the opportunity really came, and the igniter also arrived.

This opportunity is the Cultural Revolution, the igniter is Mao Zedong. At the beginning of the Cultural Revolution in 1966, there was a “Sixteen Articles”, which did not mention the Red Guards, and proposed “to fight in literature and not in arms”; but when Mao Zedong met the Red Guards for the first Time on August 18, Mao asked the name of the female Red Guard who offered flowers and replied said, “My name is Song Binbin.” Mao also asked the “Bin” of “WenQinBin”, said: “to Wu!” The Red Guards then changed their name to “Song Want Wu”, and what followed was a nationwide wind of smashing and looting, the wind of killing people!

The Red Guards were composed of the “Red Five”, and the head of the “Red Five” was the “sons of cadres”, and the head of the sons of cadres was the sons of top military cadres, so that In this way, the Red Guards of “Eleven” will be regarded as the “head of the Red Guards”, and the Red Guards of other schools will be like the frog in Aesop’s fable when they see the “Beijing Eleven School” badge in the assembly. The Red Guards of other schools were given special treatment when they saw those with the “Beijing Eleven School” badge at the rally, just like the frog in Aesop’s fable that met the buffalo.

The credo of “Old man is a hero, good man, old man is a reactionary bastard” was as solid as a rock in their hearts. It is interesting to note that the couplet’s banner, which began as “basically so”, was later simply changed to “absolutely so”. If the burning of the British Embassy was suppressed by Zhou Enlai and not expanded, then the killing of people was a realistic and unexaggerated reality. The following is a conversation I had with a boy I was teaching at the time.

“Teacher! Have you ever been a soldier and killed someone?”

“No. After I became a soldier, I had no more battles to fight, so I changed my career to teach you.”

“That’s not as good as me, I killed eight people in church yesterday.”

He had just turned fifteen (the class I taught was fifteen or six) and was carrying a round leather whip that had been soaked black with blood. He spoke with such ease, where did he look like a murderous devil? Then he described the scene to me: there was a Catholic church next to Wangfujing, where the Red Guards first deported a dozen nuns (reported in the People’s Daily at the time as a feat of the Red Guards) and then lived there. The church was stocked with canned Food, so meals were no problem. Every day, they first went to the police station and asked, “Who are the bourgeoisie?” Then these “bourgeois” were brought into the church according to their nominations, and one Family was brought in. When a family entered, they were immediately divided up among the Red Guards. Three Red Guards grabbed one, pushed him down first, and someone shouted: “One, two, three!” At the same time, the whip, someone with a stopwatch to see how long it took each group to kill people, of course, the least amount of time is the “champion”. What shocked me is: the most “champion” is actually Song Binbin and a few other girls.

Song Binbin is a girl I usually like, she is shy, petite, serious about her homework, clear font, test scores are also among the best in the class. And now, she can actually use the whip continuous “work”, countless “champion”, even the boy in front of me also showed “ashamed of themselves” look. People’s changes, it is difficult to predict; Mao Zedong’s “divine power”, but also true. The teenage girls to kill for pleasure, I still dare not think more. I don’t know if I should spend my efforts to give him/her lessons meticulously in exchange for such results.

This is just a drop of the ocean. In a commentary in the PLA Daily, it was said that the revolutionary action of the Red Guards was “very good! It is not bad at all!” Then came the call from the central government to “eliminate the four old, establish the four new” and “sweep away all evil spirits and snake gods”, and the fire of beating, smashing, robbing and killing was burning all over the country. We must not forget that the children of cadres, especially the Red Guards of schools like “Eleven” and “Eighteen”, i.e. the children of high ranking military cadres, were of great merit!

The third information.

In the summer and fall of 1967, the “Red Storm”, which originated in Beijing and was characterized by violence and massacres, swept the country. In the second half of August alone, thousands of “bullies and snakes” died in Beijing. Song Binbin, the daughter of Song Renmin, secretary of the Northeast Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC), changed her name to martial arts and went berserk, owing more than five lives to Mao Zedong, who said, “Be martial, not civilized”. She was so aware of her sins that she feared the day when the sword of justice would hang high, so she died overseas before she could abet the collapse of the murderous regime; in Zongwenmen, a landlady was scalded to death by a pot of boiling water (forcibly provided by nearby residents); in Dongsi, a high school student was coerced to smash the head of her dying capitalist father with a dumbbell, and she had a nervous breakdown and became insane.
