The slogans often shouted at the meetings of the Cultural Revolution to criticize the capitalists were of two types: slogans to defeat the capitalists; and slogans to hail the revolutionary line. It can be said that in the whole country, no one would dare to shout slogans to defeat the rebels.
However, there is an old saying that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. When I was 14 years old in 1967, I could say that I was not afraid of heaven and earth, and I was good at fighting for justice. At that time, I was very uncomfortable with the practices of the rebels and Red Guards who beat people up. At that time, I only had a simple view, I grew up under my father’s fist, and I attributed it to the temper of the northeastern people. Therefore, the phenomenon of the Cultural Revolution rebels beating and killing people was very unpleasant to watch.
The general was criticized by the cook
At the beginning of 1967, after the General Administration and the General Administration opened a conference to criticize the “General Administration Yan Wang Hall” in the General Administration compound, the rebels in the General Administration compound set up a rebel organization, mainly composed of cooks who led the badge and cooks who did not lead the badge. In order to show loyalty, take the red book, led by the head of the rebel faction of all personnel, read every day. In the past, the emperor was to have ministers shouting Long Live, Long Live every day. In the Cultural Revolution, not only to shout long live, but also to make the words of Chrysostom the motto of the whole country. The rebel group in the General Administration Compound in Beitaipingzhuang did adhere to the “daily reading” very well, and the cooking class was right across the street from my house. Really: the Chairman’s thought shines golden light, the revolutionary people have a claim, men, women and children join the war ……
The first time I read the Red Book, I was not able to put it into action, and I was only a verbal revolutionary, but one summer in 1967, after dinner, the head of the rebellion, Hao (I don’t know his name, but everyone called him Hao), went straight to the home of Liu Xiyuan, the deputy director of the General Administration, in a “splendid manner”. In a short time, Liu Xiyuan was pulled out.
Xiao Hao took Liu Xiyuan to the center of the cafeteria and stood with his head down, then he shouted the slogan “Down with Liu Xiyuan. There were few respondents. After shouting a few slogans, he asked the General Administration Group Work Department or the Youth Department of Minister Xiao to speak, he and Liu Xiyuan or together from Shandong to the northeast of the comrades, may be the Cultural Revolution a personal care personal it. One is the capitalist king of hell, one is the leader of the rebel faction, the fate is different.
I just can’t get used to the faction of the rebel faction, towards the gate, looking for a good escape route, suddenly shouted out a slogan: Down with the little creeper Xiao Hao! Down with Xiao xx!
Thinking about it, I’m afraid this is the only one who shouted down the rebel faction slogan at the national conference to criticize the capitalists, the tail of the scorpion – the only one.
After shouting I ran hard.
At this time, Minister Xiao’s son was angry from the door to chase out, Xiao Hao from the burning room door to chase out, did not intercept into. Side chase shouted: kill you little brat! Fortunately, I ran ahead and disappeared into the darkness through the fence wall, otherwise I would have become a real little brat and been killed by him.
Snobbishness
The rebels had a common characteristic of snobbery, when they saw whose old son became a capitalist or gangster, their children were bound to be “sons of bitches”. Tan Lifu’s famous anti-humanity assertion of “the old son is a hero, the old son is a reactionary son is a bastard” was also born. The biggest capitalist in my compound is Liu Xiyuan, deputy director of the General Administration, his eldest son Liu Xiaodong is tall and strong, 130 pounds of live people, he gently grabbed and lifted over his head, in the children of the hospital is the “big brother” level, the age is also the oldest, 19 years old.
In order to control these children, the General Administration and the National Defense Science Commission each sent a person, in the entrance to the sixth building of the “Minister Building” occupied a floor for the office. This is also the first ever office. We call it the “office of the children”. The General Administration Court out of a person named Li Jia Tao, General Administration judge, the rank of lieutenant colonel. Because he was from Fujian, the Fujian accent called “Li” as “rice” and “uncle” as “whoosh”, so We called him “Mi whoosh”. The Defense Science Committee sent Uncle Wang Chengxu, so naturally we also called him “Wang Whoosh” with a Fujian accent.
As soon as the “Child Management Office” was set up, it immediately started its work. First of all, all the children over ten years old were organized to stand guard at the gate. The girls stood daytime guard and the boys stood evening guard. I remember that when they stood guard at night, they held a wooden stick in their hands, saying that it was for fighting class enemies. At that time, the building was the unit, and the night shift was on. A few of us also held wooden sticks and patrolled the road. It was like a “thug” look. At that time, I thought it was a good thing. Didn’t we say that we should actively participate in the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution? Although the school was closed, but also their own initiative to participate in the Cultural Revolution, to take the initiative to promote the leader’s ideas.
At that time, it was felt that girls standing guard during the daytime would have a more obvious effect on the propagation of the leader’s ideas. The girls who stood guard during the day were required to hold the red book of Chairman Mao in their hands and read the first half of the supreme instruction like a solitaire, and the person entering or leaving the gate would then read the second half. Then let into the door. At that time, the vegetable market to buy food are to solitaire. Want to buy vegetables, first say a sentence of the highest instructions, for the people, to a pound of carrots. Then the salesman said, fight private criticism, five cents a catty. At first, many people did not read the supreme instructions, just do not sell them. In order to buy the goods, they had to recite two lines of the supreme instructions.
Don’t eat the old money
One of the most ridiculous incidents is this: an old comrade who joined the war was about to go out, the girl standing guard remembered a Supreme Instruction, the first sentence is, do not eat the old capital, the next sentence is, to establish new merit. When the uncle approached the door, the girl on guard said loudly: do not eat the old capital, is waiting for the uncle’s next sentence. What I didn’t expect was the uncle’s yell: I eat what the old capital? And the girl was dragged to the “child control office” to let the rice swish comment. Probably for the sake of less jokes, he only stood guard in the future and did not recite the top instructions.
In order to make all the children in the hospital listen to him, Mi Swisher thought of a way to “beat the snake first”. Liu Xiyuan’s eldest son Liu Xiaodong is the old high school, Liu Xiyuan is the highest position in the whole compound, the most rare he is capitalist, Liu Xiaodong is naturally the capitalist dog. There are several benefits of the whole dog son, one is firmly on the side of the revolutionary line. The second is to kill the chicken to shock the monkey, Liu Xiaodong is the old high school, and very strong, although the people and temper, but the children in the compound are in awe of him. The whole courtyard of children will be honest after he is convinced.
Liu Xiaodong was locked up in one of the seven rooms of the “Child Control Office”. At that time, probably in the spirit of the “six articles of public security”, the rebels could set up prisons at will, which was very convenient. Liu Xiaodong was handcuffed with “revolutionary handcuffs”, and it was no problem to get one from the General Administration Court. The window where he was held was boarded up to prevent him from jumping out of the window. Liu Xiaodong said after he got out of the “prison” that I didn’t want to escape at all, and that if I wanted to escape, the boards wouldn’t work at all. The conditions here may be better than the prison conditions, except for the single room, the minister’s house, Liu Xiaodong’s sister came to deliver meals every meal. Liu Xiyuan, because he was a capitalist, could only watch Liu Xiaodong being imprisoned and could not save his imprisoned son.
When Liu Xiaodong was imprisoned, the soldiers in the canteen took turns to watch him. One night, when we were on duty watching the gate, a soldier who was guarding Liu Xiaodong came out of the “child control office” in the middle of the night and said, “I don’t dare to sleep anymore, what if he kills me at night? We were amused to hear this. It’s true, the rebels have done too many unethical things, fighting this today, killing that tomorrow. The awareness of the class struggle is quite high, looking at everyone like a bad guy. This may also be the retribution for the rebels, right?
Liu Xiaodong was released from prison after almost a month of imprisonment. Due to the friction between the handcuffs and wrists, both wrists were scarred and bruised. At that time, there was no such thing as “illegal detention”, but the imprisonment of the son of a bitch was a revolutionary action.
The oldest son was beaten and the son was beaten
In the Cultural Revolution, people were also divided into two classes, and wherever they were, they were divided into two opposing classes. The leader of the company, Niu Qizhen (everyone called him Niu Mo Wang behind his back). He was very accurate in the campaign. Among the descendants of the same generals, one was named Han Wang-sheng, whose father was the deputy commander of the Beijing Military District. Therefore Han Wang-sheng, as a descendant of the revolution, did not dare to mess with it. The other, a Beijing youth, was also the son of a general whose father was a capitalist at the time. Therefore, the fate of these two people was completely different during the “One Strike, Three Oppositions Campaign” that started at the end of 1970.
No one dared to brand Han as a counter-revolutionary in the campaign, while the other one, whose father was a capitalist, was naturally a son of a capitalist, and was designated as a counter-revolutionary in the campaign, a tragic fate. Comrade Zhou of my class beat him almost every day, and hung him from a tree to beat him. After each beating, he told everyone about the process of beating people, experience.
The poor man also has a hateful place. After a few decades, he was not a counter-revolutionary youth who had been beaten up, but a member of the “General’s Descendants Choir”. I guess I thought I was a high and mighty second generation Reds again. I didn’t know anything about his change, but I thought he was the same person as before, and I was upset about him in the WeChat group during the fight against the three anti-counterrevolutionary movements, but I didn’t expect to see a hot face on a cold ass. He said, there is him without me, there is me without him. Finally, I was removed from the Beijing youth group.
One is that during the Cultural Revolution, those rebellious figures consciously and unconsciously acted according to the lineage theory that “the old man is a hero and the old man is a bastard. The other is that, after the Cultural Revolution, some people feel that they are very impressive, their former friends are not on the same level, the world was fought by their own fathers, so there is no part of the low-end population.
