The One Behind It All Chapter 124

Dad's gray history was the most painful thing during the "Cultural Revolution". Although he was in the arsenal of the Kuomintang, he actively promoted anti-Japanese resistance and agreed with the views of the Communist Party, but he had no connection with the underground organization of the Communist Party. Why are you? This has become a point of doubt for some people. How to explain clearly during that "Cultural Revolution" period. They always wanted to dig out a big fish that was hidden deeply, and Dad suffered all kinds of torture. Now think about it, a rural middle school uses unified teaching materials. Even if there is something wrong with this person, how much impact it will have on national security. Even if there is a problem, it is to reform him, not to torture him.

My mother actually only has a high school education. She has to accompany my father, endure all kinds of humiliation, and become his shield. She also has to take care of seven of us brothers and sisters. When she puts down the chalk, she has to work with briquettes, buy groceries, cook, and do laundry... .. She also had to cultivate her own culture and complete her teaching tasks. She was eventually rated as a senior teacher in the middle school. Many of her students are provincial and prefecture-level cadres and outstanding technical experts. They are all deeply impressed by their mother's teaching responsibility. My mother has such a low educational level and is self-taught. Only she knows the hardships involved.

Although my parents joined the revolution early, they were of non-proletarian origin, so it was not easy for them to integrate into the revolutionary ranks of the proletariat and gain trust. They cannot be as politically pure as ordinary farmers and workers. They live in a complex society, and this society is composed of diverse people. There cannot be only one pure substance. They sometimes participated in various complex activities, such as anti-Japanese performances, where there were people involved behind the scenes. My mother participated in the Anti-Japanese Concert Group. Some people say that those who participated in the concert group collectively participated in some organization... There are countless activities in a person's life. If it is not measured by the person's purpose, it is measured by the person's moral character. , and in reality, their historical understanding and commitment are measured, but measured by form, then it will be so complicated that no one can clean themselves up and be cautious. In all previous political movements, they all confessed their hearts to the party. The difficulty of their ideological transformation was much greater than that of others, and the inner suffering they suffered was beyond the understanding of others. They write down every detail of their lives in extreme detail, hoping that the organization will review it. After they passed away, I asked my classmates to help copy their parents' files. After reading the materials in which their parents confessed their hearts to the Party, the classmates were moved to tears by their true feelings. Throughout their lives, they have followed the revolution. They may not necessarily be considered hardcore elements, but they are worthy of the party and the people. My father finally joined the party in 1958 when the country recruited a group of senior intellectuals to join the party. At that time, we were not as well-informed as today when we were open to the Party. Everyone could see the spirit of the Central Committee and be consistent with the Central Committee. At that time, it was actually a matter of expressing one's heart to a few party members and the branch secretary. Even if a newspaper published the above spirit, the implementation of the spirit had to be understood and then implemented. At that time, opposing individual party members might be said to be anti-party. We saw with our own eyes how cautious and cautious our parents were, working selflessly and having no time to take care of us, just like I worked my ass off and had no time to honor them. Their loyalty to the party, the country, and the cause can be learned from history. I regret today that I did not take time to accompany them and send them off.

In retrospect, there are few revolutionary backbones in a society. They can work selflessly and fearlessly in the name of revolution. They are the pillars of the country and society. It’s worth the extra cost of vetting to select these people. There are many people like my father and mother who follow the revolution, support the revolution, or do not oppose the revolution. They are better off than not being revolutionary. Society should recognize them and give them opportunities. There is no need to require them to be so pure, spend so much energy examining them, and hold them to high standards, and they will feel pain if they cannot meet them. Moreover, spiritual civilization and material civilization must be supported together, material civilization should be used to consolidate spiritual civilization, and a mechanism should be used to encourage them to subjectively improve the quality of life, and their objective contribution is to promote the revolution and give full play to their enthusiasm for contribution. After I took charge of Huawei's work, we treated employees, including those who resigned, very leniently. We only selected employees with professionalism, dedication, responsibility, and a sense of mission to join the cadre team, and only had strict requirements for senior cadres. This was also the process of personally witnessing my parents’ ideological transformation, which formed my tolerant character.
