Chapter 10 "Countercurrent"

Within a period of time after the article "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth" was published, the impact it caused was unprecedentedly huge, so that Fan Wubing's family was also involved.

At that time, the influence of the Communist Party was still there. Although the Gang of Four had been arrested for a long time, there were still some differences in the understanding of the Communist Party or the problems left over from the history of the predecessors.

As soon as this article was published, some people immediately opposed it, thinking that it was a subversion of traditional cognition, and that it was to completely deny the hard work of the previous decades, which was extremely dangerous and extremely wrong!

A certain power figure instructed some persons in charge of the Central Propaganda Department to "not take a stand" or "not get involved" in the discussion of the standard of truth. Some even accused this article on many occasions of pointing the finger at Chairman Mao's thought. ", asked "Which central government's opinion is this?!" and suppressed it.

Fan Wubing knew that this article was a prelude to the successful start of China's reform and opening up, and also a big collision of public opinion and thinking. Said that this article came into being as the times require. As for the details, he was too young at that time to have a clear understanding. As for later, he did not conduct systematic research on the details of this period. Therefore, he saw After the original article, combined with what I learned later, I couldn't help but write a review article.

Because it was on a whim, Fan Wubing didn't pay much attention to the article he had written, so he threw it aside and got caught in the pile of newspapers.

There are often some blackboard newspapers in the school. This week’s weekend happens to be the turn of Zhang Mei’s class. This kind of thing is usually copied by the student cadres. First, it is to train the students. Compare the meaning of forming a healthy competition situation where a hundred flowers bloom.

"Mr. Zhang, what are we going to publish in today's blackboard report?" Lin Miaomiao, the squad leader, ran to the office to ask Zhang Mei for instructions.

It was Zhou, and Zhang Mei was discussing the next week's activities with the teachers of the same grade in the meeting room, so after hearing Lin Miaomiao's words, she just stopped for a while, and then said to her, "Miao Miao, go to the teacher's Check it out on the desk, it’s under the newspaper, I’ve already written a manuscript, just take it and copy it.”

"Yes, goodbye, teacher." Lin Miaomiao nodded, turned and left.

After talking about the matter, Zhang Mei went home. She didn't remember it at all, because Lin Miaomiao's work was quite reassuring. She only needed to prepare the manuscript for publishing the newspaper, and she didn't have to worry about flower arrangements. .

Who knew that Zhang Mei's negligence caused a disturbance.

On Monday, because Zhang Mei had something to go out, the Chinese class in the class was replaced by the math teacher. She had no idea that there was already a lot of noise in the school at this time.

"Practice is the only criterion for testing truth" has already been widely circulated, but when people are afraid to talk about this topic due to the shackles of inertia, the blackboard newspaper of the children's primary school of a military industrial enterprise in a small county-level city unexpectedly appeared A commentary article on this Guangming Daily special commentator article!

"In a sense, practice is the only criterion for testing truth. This is the loudest and most critical slogan in the past ten years.* Since then, the "highest instruction" that is worth 10,000 sentences has become the criterion for testing truth. The only standard, no one has ever dared to propose: what is the test of the "supreme instruction"? The slogan that practice is the only standard for testing truth is not simply a challenge to the most unquestionable authority, but a new exploration The road." A certain teacher read out the neatly written content on the blackboard newspaper, and couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation.

"How did you write such a reactionary content?!" Someone immediately became furious.

Under decades of public opinion propaganda, the correctness of the leader is unquestionable,

In the eyes of some people, the appearance of the article "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth" is itself a very serious problem, and now there are even more "reactionary" follow-up comments, is that okay? !

"This is to defend the restoration of the bureaucratic capitalist class! It is to serve as a shield for all reactionary actions! It is to find excuses for all despicable actions!" Feng Tonglin, who has served as the deputy secretary of the Panshi Municipal Party Committee for more than ten years, saw the urgent report materials sent to the table , slapped the table angrily and shouted.

The person in charge of the Municipal Public Security Bureau also solemnly pointed out that this is a long-planned counter-revolutionary incident! It is a conspiracy by bourgeois careerists trying to restore it! It is the general attack number of some defeated landlords and capitalists trying to counterattack and reckon! In short, the author must be brought out to accept the trial of the people! Conspiracy must be killed in the cradle! The dignity of the people's dictatorship cannot be challenged!

This is countercurrent! The reactionary undercurrent that moves against the trend of revolution!

Because this day was May 15th, the task force that was formed quickly was named the "May 15 Incident" special task force.

The matter is very simple. The blackboard newspaper was written by the students, and Lin Miaomiao, the monitor of the class, wrote it. Of course, it is impossible for a fifth grade elementary school student to write such a theoretically profound article. The first element is naturally to investigate the source of the article. The target was quickly locked on Zhang Mei, the class teacher, and the special case team acted immediately to control Zhang Mei who was working outside.

Zhang Mei didn't come to school on Monday, so she naturally didn't know what happened in the school, and naturally she didn't know that "reactionary articles" had been published on the blackboard newspaper, until the special case team took her to the city police station to cooperate with the investigation. At that time, it was still a look of ignorance.

"Zhang Mei, did you write the manuscript for the new blackboard newspaper in your school?" the investigator asked straight to the point.

"Yes, what's the problem?" Zhang Mei felt very strange. She didn't know why people from the Public Security Bureau asked her this question, and she didn't know why they invited her to the police station.

Well? The investigators found it incredible. According to common sense, the reactionaries would always do everything possible to deny it for a while before they would be intimidated by the majesty of the justice investigators. How could this woman answer so happily when she pleaded guilty?

However, one more thing is worse than one less thing, and the higher authorities are also pursuing it very closely, so the investigators asked again, "Why did you write this article?"

"Is this normal?!" Zhang Mei felt that the other party's question was superfluous. The title of the manuscript she prepared was "Educational Spring", and the content also actively responded to the spirit of the National Education Conference held some time ago. Naturally, it would not It occurred to me that the manuscript had already been dropped.

"Totally reactionary, there is no hope for salvation!" The investigators immediately came to a conclusion in their hearts when they heard the other party's answer.

A few documents were handed over for Zhang Mei to sign, and then a few official seals were stamped, and the May 15 iron case was finalized.
