Chapter 21: Uncle and Parents
Once I went to the commune for a meeting, and after the meeting ended, Secretary Xie of the commune stopped me, saying that in order to implement the central policy, Zhaoxue should be rehabilitated for the unjust, false and wrongful cases in the Cultural Revolution, and my uncle was persecuted to death, so Zhaoxue must be rehabilitated. In a few days, the whole commune will be rehabilitated for his unjust, false and wrongly decided case, and the victim's family must participate, because my does not live in this commune, and he needs to be notified by a special person, so as to show the wisdom and greatness of the party's policy. Let me go to Anhui Taihe to ask my to come back and participate in the rehabilitation conference.
Entrusted by the secretary, I rode to Taihe, Anhui Province the next day, and I rode for a day for more than 100 miles, and arrived at the old's house in the evening.
After the brothers met, I explained that I wanted to rehabilitate my uncle and ask him to go back to the rehabilitation conference to prove my uncle's innocence.
When the heard that he was going to rehabilitate Zhaoxue for his father, tears of excitement welled up and he cried loudly. The tragic death of his father is unfolding in front of him one by one:
It turned out that my uncle was a burly and strong man, upright, vicious and hateful, and loyal to the party and the people. but died tragically in the Cultural Revolution.
In 1966, the surging Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution swept across the country, and the number one leaders on all fronts became the ones in power who took the capitalist road, and the Red Guards occupied the social camp.
Wu Hao, the second uncle who was the secretary of the Luozhuang Brigade at the time, was suspended from his post and was listed as the target of criticism. Organize mass meetings to criticize and make him openly admit that he is a Kuomintang spy who has infiltrated the Communist Party.
Because his uncle was 18 years old before the liberation, he was arrested by the Kuomintang troops, and half a year later, he secretly left the Kuomintang troops and returned to his hometown. After liberation, the poor peasants turned over and made a revolution, established a red regime, fought local tyrants and divided the land, and became the masters of the country. He was elected as the secretary of the brigade branch, and for the cause of the party and the people, he was conscientious, diligent, down-to-earth, hard-working, hard-working, hard-working, and enjoying.
Overnight, he was regarded as a Kuomintang spy and openly criticized him.
At the criticism meeting, let my uncle admit that he was a traitor spy who had infiltrated the party, and my uncle would rather die than give in, and the righteousness was awe-inspiring.
They didn't let my uncle eat or sleep, he was beaten all over his body, and he had to wear a high hat to parade through the streets.
After several days of criticism and fighting, he did not get any valuable confession from the second uncle, so he was asked to go home and wake up, and then continue to criticize and fight.
When my uncle returned home, the whole family hugged their heads and cried, and they couldn't understand that a Communist Party member who had dedicated his life to the cause of the party and the people had to endure great shame and humiliation.
Under the pain of calling the heavens and having no way to enter the ground, that night, he took poison with hatred, and his 42-year-old uncle died unjustly.
The uncle's death did not arouse the sympathy of the rebels, and the next day, they tied his uncle's body to a rake bed and attacked him personally.
Saying that my uncle committed suicide in fear of sin, and that he had cut himself off from the people and the party was also a shameful end for the Kuomintang spies. Let people keep their eyes open and draw a clear line with the families of the spies, and the criticism conference will be over.
As soon as the poor uncle died, he left behind his frail aunt and four young children, and his life fell into a desperate situation, and he couldn't afford to be ill, and half a year later, he left his underage children and died at the age of 40.
With the death of their parents, the four children were helpless and unable to support their families, so they could only leave their hometown and go to their aunt's house in Anhui to spend the day.
After the finished crying, it was time to watch, and he got up early the next day and returned to his hometown with me. participated in his father's rehabilitation conference, which made the straighten his spine in front of people and restore his dignity. Avoid a big regret in life!
