but--
Wang Chunjiang opened his eyes. His gaze was heavy, yet burning with a kind of resolute light.
"Enjoy it?" he asked in his mind, his fingers tightly gripping the armrests of the chair.
"Did you build this country alone? Wasn't it built by tens of millions of proletarians?"
"Privileges? Did the people agree to it? Have you forgotten that Su Yan belongs to the 800 million workers and peasants, not to a few of your families or surnames?"
These words were also not spoken, but they stirred up waves in his heart.
He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the lights on the streets of the capital. The streets outside were quiet and deep, and the dim street lights illuminated the empty streets. Occasionally, a few cars passed by, leaving fleeting traces of light, like countless sparks waiting to be ignited.
"Articles are just a spark that starts a prairie fire," he whispered to himself, "and it is the young people who really set the world on fire."
"Your era is about to end."
...
...
The fire of "Comment on the New Historical Drama "The Dismissal of an Incorrupt Official"" first started in Shanghai.
In the textile factory in Shanghai, during the break, several wooden benches were put together and the workers sat in a circle.
A young worker in the middle, wearing thick glasses, was waving a newspaper in his hand and said excitedly: "Look, this article is really well written! No wonder I always feel that those plays are not right. These plays, on the surface, say 'speaking for the people', but in fact they just want us to miss the old society!"
"Miss the old society?" The middle-aged lady next to him slapped her thigh, her voice filled with uncontrollable excitement, "We are not dead yet! What was the old society like? I don't know. At that time, I was sold to a factory as a bonded laborer when I was a teenager. I didn't have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear all day long. I had to work really hard to get a meal!"
She paused, tears flashing in her eyes: "If Secretary Mu hadn't led the liberation of the Magic City, I would have been lying in a mass grave! What honest officials, what righteousness and morality, are all fooling people! Isn't the purpose of our revolution to no longer live in such a dark and gloomy life!"
"Yes!" another older worker echoed, "The capitalists and landlords live comfortably, but what about us? How do we survive day by day? Who are you singing this opera for?"
"Why would the country allow this kind of drama to be made! There are bad guys!"
...
...
In the campus of Shanghai University, groups of students stood together with pens and papers in their hands. Some discussed in low voices, while others wrote directly on the wall.
"Socialist literature and art is to serve the proletariat, not to sing praises to the landlords!"
After a boy finished writing, he took two steps back with satisfaction and looked at his handwriting carefully.
The girl next to her took over the conversation: "Yes, literature and art are used to educate and inspire people, and to help us build a new society. Those plays use feudal kings and generals as the protagonists, which is just to please the old forces!"
More big-character posters were put up on the wall, with red headlines and black slogans, filled with enthusiastic responses to the article.
Some people were taking notes silently, while others were reading the original article aloud repeatedly. Amid the heated discussion, even the sound of the autumn wind blowing through the treetops seemed particularly clear.
...
...
In the night school in the countryside, the cooperative members rushed to speak: "How can the landlords have any 'righteousness and morality'? The hunger, suffering and hardships we endured in our childhood were not all caused by them!"
Some people nodded and some responded. A young man in a blue cloth shirt stood up and took over the conversation: "Take our village for example. Who hasn't been bullied before liberation? Our fields were occupied, our crops were stolen, and even our sick children had no money to see a doctor! When did the landlords ever care about our lives?"
"That's right!" The voices in the audience gradually became louder, and more people stood up, scrambling to tell about the sufferings of themselves and their families. Every word was filled with anger and memories that were deeply painful.
Never forget the class suffering, and remember the blood and tears of revenge!
...
...
"Comrades, literature and art are not simply art, they are weapons of thought and the banner that guides society! We cannot tolerate any reactionary ideas that poison the people under the guise of culture! Culture is our position, and we cannot lose it for even a moment!"
"Comrades, the victory of the socialist cause lies not only in economic prosperity, but also in perseverance in the field of ideology! From now on, we must use socialist culture to fight back against the infiltration and erosion of all old ideas!"
At a national literary and artistic work conference, Wang Chunjiang called on cultural workers to be guided by socialist literary and artistic thought and theory and to fight against reactionary ideas with a clear stand.
Soon, the Su-Yan Central Committee issued the "Decision on Launching the Great Proletarian Revolution in the Ideological and Cultural Fields", which clearly pointed out that the struggle in the ideological and cultural fields is an important battlefield in the current socialist construction. It is necessary to mobilize the people across the country, and combine the party, government, army, academia and the people to carry out a thorough ideological revolution. With a clear mind and firm will, we must thoroughly eliminate the remnants of reactionary ideas in the cultural field and win this people's war in the ideological and cultural field!
Dark Forest: Liberating the Three-Body Problem: Chapter 231: Big-Character Posters at Yanda University, the Cry of Young Students
The great revolution swept like a raging fire, first igniting among the younger generation.
Social existence determines social consciousness. A person's various values will be determined by the environment in which they are cultivated.
This generation is called the successors of socialism. They come from worker and peasant families, have received socialist education since childhood, and have grown up in theoretical classes and labor practice.
They hold a fair scale to measure right and wrong, have a clear self-awareness, and do what they say, without being credulous or blindly following others.
Dare to question, not afraid of authority, not afraid of oppression, dare to resist... these are the advantages that their generation possesses.
Once upon a time, bureaucracy was a huge mountain weighing down the heads of millions of ordinary people, making it difficult for them to stand up straight and for them to dare not resist.
Dayan has a three-thousand-year-old bureaucratic tradition. There is a saying that the people should not fight against the officials. There is a saying that the county magistrate is the local magistrate, holding the power of life and death over the people of the county. The highest pursuit of scholars is to pass the imperial examinations and achieve a career above one person and below ten thousand people.
In socialist Jiangsu, this decadent dregs of feudal ideology is still lurking in many corners of the social body.
However, most of the young people in Su Yan are not infected with these decadent habits.
Their courage surpassed that of the previous generation, and even surpassed that of the generation before that who were called revolutionary veterans!
They even dared to take the lead in firing at these bureaucrats who were regarded as sacred by some people!
Su Yan's university, Yan University campus
A large-character poster that caught people's attention was written in strong and powerful handwriting, and the red title was particularly eye-catching: "What exactly are Jiang Ping, Ma Peiyun, and Wang Meiguang doing in this ideological revolution?"
Jiang Ping, Ma Peiyun, Wang Meiguang and others are some of the leaders of Yanda University.
The people who posted this big-character poster were Huang Ziyuan and several of his classmates. They did not have any remarkable background, nor were they descendants of some "red family". They were a group of "ordinary" students from workers and peasants' families.
But it is precisely because of this ordinariness that millions of workers and peasants are truly like this! They are more courageous in facing problems and are more courageous in taking the lead!
"Comrades, we study Marxism-Leninism not to sing its praises! The school leaders use the banner of 'revolution' to restrict us from criticizing old ideas and cover up problems. Is this revolution? This is clearly a betrayal of proletarian culture!"
A murmur broke out in the crowd, and some students from worker and peasant backgrounds stood up to support him: "Right! That's right! Revolution is not a formality! What the revolution needs is seeking truth from facts, not whitewashing!"
Someone agreed and said: "What we need to do is to analyze the problem and clean up the old remnants of thought, rather than let this great revolution become a decoration! We are the descendants of workers and peasants, we are the masters of the country, and we will never allow this to happen!"
“This is our campus and the frontline of the revolution. We are not afraid to confront wrong authority!”
The big-character poster caused an uproar at Yenching University.
School Secretary Jiang Ping slammed the table in his office, furious: "How outrageous! These students are absolutely lawless! They actually dared to publicly criticize the Party Committee and even mentioned our names!"
This disturbance must be suppressed, otherwise, he might not be able to keep his official hat!
Principal Ma Peiyun sat aside with a gloomy face: "We must take action immediately to control these leading students! Otherwise, if this trend spreads, the order of the school will be completely disrupted!"
If this precedent is set, how can they manage this school and these students?
Dean of Academic Affairs Wang Meiguang sneered: "Okay, they want revolution, don't they? Then let them have a taste of revolution!"
Wang Meiguang is very good at playing pranks on people. She wants to kill these ignorant young men!
Soon, several unidentified people tore the big-character poster into pieces at night, leaving not even a piece of paper.
At the same time, various opinions began to circulate on the campus radio: "Huang Ziyuan and others intend to create chaos, and it is very likely that they are instructed by external forces behind the scenes..."
"These people are not students at all, but reactionaries in student guise!"
At dawn, the school organized a "criticism and exposure meeting".
Some students who had been hinted at were allowed to speak on stage, criticizing Huang Ziyuan and others and throwing mud at them.
"Huang Ziyuan is a traitor!"
"These people are big bad guys who have seriously violated discipline and national laws!"
"I heard they are spies, descendants of secret agents!"
Huang Ziyuan and others received news from their classmates and knew that someone wanted to use this opportunity to tarnish their reputation, so they rushed to the podium of the "exposure and criticism meeting" uninvited.
"You have no evidence and are slandering people with empty words. Have all the proletarian moral ideas you have learned over the years been eaten by dogs?" Huang Ziyuan's eyes were sharp as he glanced at those who had just insulted them.
"Tell me, who asked you to slander us? Who is afraid that we will reveal the truth?"
Faced with this sudden counterattack, the students who were instructed were hesitant and unable to answer.
The students in the audience whispered, "Who else could it be? Who else could it be besides them?"
They saw clearly that Jiang Ping and others were behind this matter!
Huang Ziyuan and the others hit upon these people's sore spots.
Seeing this, Jiang Ping and others' faces turned as black as the bottom of a pot. They directly instructed the Security Department to arrest Huang Ziyuan and others on the grounds of "investigation".
If you can't solve the problem, then solve the people who raise the problem!
"You can imprison our bodies, but you cannot imprison our thoughts." Huang Ziyuan shouted as he was taken away. "If you arrest one Huang Ziyuan, there will be another Liu Ziyuan. The road of revolution is not afraid of difficulties and obstacles! We are not afraid of your threats! We will not bow to you, the counter-revolutionary authorities!"
As he said, on the night Huang Ziyuan and his classmates were imprisoned, some students who had secretly colluded put up another big-character poster:
"What are Jiang Ping and others afraid of? Why do they want to restrict the development of ideological revolution?"
Huang Ziyuan's deeds soon reached Wang Chunjiang's ears.
...
The Great Revolution was originally in the first stage of stalemate, with Wang Chunjiang fighting with some veterans at the superstructure.
Those red elders did not want the movement to expand, they wanted to suppress it and render it harmless.
However, Wang Chunjiang wanted to expand the momentum of the movement and turn the literary and artistic criticism movement into a bottom-up political movement to completely eliminate the capitalist-roaders from Su Yan and above.
However, Wang Chunjiang encountered considerable resistance in the advancement of the first phase.
He found that he had no one available.
During these years, bureaucrats who were able to reach very high positions basically all had their own backgrounds and were hypocritical in their response to the orders he issued.
Even the Yanjing Prefectural Committee's attitude towards him was one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes, warm on the outside but cold on the inside.
Naturally, his policies were ineffective at the lower levels.
The "Great Revolution" was filtered and diluted layer by layer. Grassroots officials seemed to have carried out their work, but in fact they were perfunctory. Some places just posted a few slogans to deal with the matter, and some even turned the movement into a meeting to praise the leaders, completely deviating from the original intention.
What's worse, some bureaucrats use the name of criticism to crack down on dissidents, purge disobedient cadres, and even reap benefits from it.
Fortunately, this is not the feudal era of hundreds of years ago, and Wang Chunjiang is not the mediocre emperor in ancient times who was blinded by his ministers, was completely in the dark, and could not issue orders beyond the Forbidden City.
His response was to bypass the provincial and higher-level departments and issue orders directly to the departments below the prefecture level.
The computers installed in local governments and agencies are the main source of information he relies on to carry out this action.
At this time in Su Yan, computers were still a scarce resource.
Due to limitations in materials and industrial levels, the manufacturing volume of these computers that use integrated circuit technology is limited, and only governments and institutions at or above the county level can build computers and supporting equipment such as optical fibers.
Computer information transmission is obviously more convenient and faster than telephones, pagers, telegraphs and other means.
As early as the Li Runshi period, a new computer information and management bureau was established under the Ministry of Science and Technology, requiring each county-level unit to assign a dedicated person to update information daily and upload local work progress, emergencies, etc. to the central server in a timely manner. These data will be screened by the intelligent system "Goddess of Justice" and summarized into a concise report for reference by central decision makers.
This computer network specifically used for administrative work is called the "Red Network".
Wang Chunjiang uses the "Red Net" to directly connect with grassroots work and grasp the progress of work from all over the country.
As a national key university and a vice-ministerial institution, Yenching University is also equipped with computers.
Some students from the Department of Physics had access to this computer for scientific research projects, and they used it to send emails to Wang Chunjiang.
"We must not allow Huang Ziyuan and his companions to be suppressed without reason, especially those who use the name of 'revolution' to practice bureaucracy. Someone must stand up and support them!"
In the computer room, they tapped on the keyboard with their clumsy hands and wrote a short but sincere email, describing in detail how Huang Ziyuan and others launched an ideological revolution at Yenching University and faced authoritative oppression, and expressed their dissatisfaction with the school's suppression.
This email was marked by the "Goddess of Justice" and a few minutes later, it became a stack of clearly printed documents and was delivered to Wang Chunjiang's desk.
"This is really..."
A trace of relief flashed in Wang Chunjiang's eyes, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes gently bloomed with a smile.
A group of young students broke the stalemate of the great revolution with simple big-character posters.
Perhaps those red veterans never thought that the force for the turning point did not come from the workers and farmers in the factories and farmlands, but from the young students who had not yet entered society.
Student...He seemed to be like this when he was young.
Have courage, awareness, and persistence.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to do something.
