Recently former Chinese Communist Party Premier Wen Jiabao published an article reminiscing about his mother, which sparked public attention. And the Communist Party’s CCTV published “Xi Jinping and Mother” on the eve of Mother’s Day. Some analysts believe that the CCTV article for Xi Jinping is intended to offset Wen Jiabao’s call for humanity with Xi’s party sermon.
On the eve of this year’s Qingming Festival (April 5), former CCP premier Wen Jiabao published an article in the Macau media remembering his mother, in which he mentioned the Cultural Revolution disaster and other sensitive content for the CCP authorities. The article was then blocked by the Chinese Communist Party’s entire network, but the article still hit the Internet, causing a large number of retweets and comments from all walks of life, but they were all later blocked by the Chinese Communist Party authorities.
The article “My Mother” has been popular on the Chinese network, and Wen Jiabao’s heartfelt message has multiple meanings,” said Su Tianze. The article said, from the perspective of human nature, this article in memory of his mother resonated with the world is very normal, because people are the same, the heart is the same, …… Wen Jiabao and his mother’s feelings and everyone is the same, people can naturally appreciate the article of mother and son affection, the formation of emotional resonance.
Su Tianze said, from Wen Jiabao’s article can be understood, Wen Jiabao actually indirectly responded to several things, hidden some kind of profound intent. For example, he remembers his mother’s “simple life, living a clean life”, and strictly asked his children “people poor will not be short”, “not a penny of their own money can not be”. “This truth I remember in my heart for decades, not once violated”, in fact, indirectly responded to the New York Times as the representative of some outside voices once on his family’s wealth events, somehow a kind of clarification.
Wen Jiabao in the memory of his mother article about his youth his family was also subject to the impact of political movements. Although his father was only a middle school teacher, he was also persecuted by political movements such as the “Anti-Rightist” and “Cultural Revolution”, and had to be sent to work on a farm in 1959. After the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution, he was subjected to brutal interrogations and beatings, and “the rebels punched his father’s face, and his eyes were ‘sealed’ so that he could not see.
Su Tianze also said that Wen Jiabao’s father, an ordinary middle school teacher, could not escape the persecution of the political movement during the Cultural Revolution, which shows how terrible the political movement was. Although the main theme of Wen Jiabao’s article is not to reflect on the Cultural Revolution, from his brief description of what happened to his father, it is not difficult for the world to perceive the devastation and harm of the political movement to the Chinese people. This also indirectly explains why Wen Jiabao, during his premiership, took a firm critical attitude toward the Cultural Revolution.
On May 8, the eve of Mother’s Day, the Communist Party’s Central Television (CCTV) played up Xi Jinping by publishing “Xi Jinping and His Mother,” which was seen as boasting about Xi’s mother. The article began by writing that Xi’s mother, Qi Xin, was a female soldier of the Eighth Route Army who joined the revolution and joined the Chinese Communist Party during the beacon fire in Taihang at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, before running to Yan’an. Xi Zhongxun also appreciated his wife, who once told his children, “Your mother is an excellent Communist Party member!”
A May 10 article by Radio Free Asia contributor Gao Xin said that special attention should be paid to the fact that the above commentary on Wen Jiabao’s remembrance of his mother’s article is from Dovetail, thus proving that the inspirational power of Wen Jiabao’s remembrance of his mother’s article cannot be ignored. So it is entirely possible to put CCTV taking the opportunity of Mother’s Day to launch an article boasting about his mother on behalf of Xi Jinping, is intended to offset the inspirational power of Wen Jiabao and his mother’s humanity with the party nature of Xi Jinping and his mother.
Gao Xin’s article argues that “CCTV’s quote-unquote mother article on behalf of Xi Jinping goes in the opposite direction of Wen Jiabao’s remembrance of his mother by not mentioning a single word about what happened to Xi’s parents during the Cultural Revolution, which has long been a source of great interest to outside commentators, but instead addresses the praise of humanity in Wen Jiabao’s remembrance of his mother’s article by completely hedging Xi’s relationship with his mother into a sermon on party spirit. “
Overseas scholar Professor Xia Yeliang pointed out that Qi Jinping’s “party spirit” had a great influence on Xi Jinping.
In a recent interview, Xia Yeliang said that because Xi Jinping’s entire ideological heritage came from Mao Zedong, his education and intellectual vision had great limitations, which were related to his personal experience. Xi’s father was taken to jail by Mao when he was 9 years old, but this does not seem to have affected his admiration for Mao. Although he is the son of Xi Zhongxun from a physiological and genetic point of view, it is regrettable that he has inherited very little from Xi Zhongxun and is not able to reflect at all some of the basic characteristics and traits that he could inherit as his son from his father.
According to Xia Yeliang’s analysis, Xi Jinping inherited more aspects of his mother Qi Xin. This is because Qi was a female Communist Party member known for her supposedly strong party spirit, which even had an inhuman side that bordered on cold-bloodedness. For example, during the Cultural Revolution, Xi Jinping was arrested and sent to a juvenile detention center, but he managed to escape. His mother completely disregarded her son’s pitiful appearance at the time and was determined to send him back immediately. Xi Jinping was so aggrieved that he left home in tears.
According to Gao Xin’s article, Xi Jinping’s article on boasting about his mother contrasts with Wen Jiabao’s article on remembering his mother, and it is not difficult to find that CCTV’s ghostwriter seems to be writing in contrast to Wen Jiabao’s article on remembering his mother, giving the impression of a “deliberate competition”. This kind of example can be cited in many places.
