The turmoil lasted for a full decade, and the victims preferred to call it a catastrophe rather than the revolutionary title given to it by its rulers. And Gu Kanhua and Gu Heyi, father and son, were the victims of that turmoil.

The difference is that in addition to being a victim, Gu Kanhua first became a perpetrator of persecution of others.

Gu Kanhua was fourteen or fifteen years old when the turmoil was launched, and it was the age when he was enthusiastic but could not distinguish right from wrong, and it was easy to follow the trend. At the beginning of the movement, Gu Kanhua joined the public and became a "construction activist".

Gu Heyi is usually used to being a low-level worker in the factory, and he has no ambitions, his family is ordinary, and his family is even a little poor, but there are no of them in the first batch of criticism; it is only that the scope of the second batch has expanded, and the anti-party elements have begun to be liquidated and found out, and Gu Heyi's previous experience in the old army has been picked up and he has become one of the "anti-party elements" who have been criticized.

At that time, Gu Kanhua had a very strong self-esteem, and as soon as the list of anti-party elements was announced, Gu Kanhua was eager to draw a clear line with Gu Heyi, and was reluctant to admit that he was his son.

"Gu Kanhua! Your father is an anti-party element, you are not qualified to be with us!" At a thought meeting, Gu Kanhua was complacent that he had been praised for his positive actions, when a classmate suddenly stood up and pointed at Gu Kanhua's nose and accused.

"Who said that! Our family is a middle-class and lower-class peasant! That man has nothing to do with us!" Gu Kanhua knew that he was not convinced, but what he said was the truth, so he immediately stood up and retorted, blushing and shouting that he would go. There was a commotion in the classroom, everyone was whispering to each other, and the teacher in charge of commendation also changed his attitude and looked at Gu Kanhua thoughtfully.

"As an active member of our team, Gu Kanhua's behavior and actions are obvious to all, and the teacher believes in Gu Kanhua's ideological awareness. It is better to let Gu Kanhua criticize and fight against anti-party elements from tomorrow onwards and give them ideological education. The teacher pondered for a while, and finally gave an ambiguous answer.

Fighting, Gu Kanhua clenched his fists, sat down angrily, and decided that he must do something big tomorrow to make those who question him look good.

It's just that Gu Heyi is his father after all, father and son are close relatives, and Gu Kanhua is reluctant to attack his father.

That day, Gu Kanhua shrank into the house as soon as he got out of school, prevaricating his mother's ears and eyes under the pretext of being uncomfortable and resting, took out a pen and paper, and thought about who could replace his father as the best choice. Because his mother was reluctant for him to do this kind of thing, and he had a stiff relationship with his father, Gu Kanhua was afraid of being discovered, so there was no bright light.

"Zhan Gong is being chased by people again, these people are really not things," Gu Heyi returned home, scolded a few words, and saw that his son's room was not bright, so he dared to continue to say to his wife with confidence, "Fortunately, Zhan Gong's second brother is a poor peasant, and he has not been implicated, and there is an inconspicuous granary in the courtyard, so Zhan Gong has a place to hide when he escapes." ”

"You can't take care of your own affairs, and you still have the heart to take care of others. Gu's mother was dissatisfied and blamed Gu Heyi, Gu Heyi took a cigarette and took a few puffs indiscriminately, "Zhan Gong is different, our family was able to survive back then, and thanks to him taking care of us all the way, he has helped us all these years." ”

"I know that you two have a good relationship, but Li Zhangong's identity is a problem after all, and he used to write things nonsense, but this time he was picked up, his problem is much more serious than yours, you stay away from him, it's good for everyone. Gu Heyi was accustomed to his wife's chatter, and he responded to a few sounds indiscriminately, and neither of them paid attention to the other pair of ears in the room.

"Li Zhangong ran away, is he still a serious problem?" Gu Kanhua dropped his pen and held back his restless mood, his eyes flashed with excitement, keenly catching the important information in his parents' conversation

I was still worried, but now it's good, someone took the initiative to send it to the door, what else to write.

Uncle Li, don't blame Kanhua for being sorry for you, you can only blame yourself for your own bad life...

Gu Kanhua happily put away his things and slept contentedly. Tomorrow's plan has been quietly formed in his mind, and after tomorrow, he must be the one who performs best!

On the morning of the second day, Li Zhangong was unkempt and pulled out of the granary by a group of rebel generals, beaten and kicked all the way, and rolled out onto the street in embarrassment.

"Second brother, I'm sorry. Li Zhangong, who had a blue nose and swollen eyes, raised a pig-headed face, glanced at Gu Kanhua, who was arrogant behind him, and said the last words to his second brother guiltily in this world. Second Brother Li glanced at his younger brother worriedly, followed his gaze, turned his head again, and smiled innocently.

Gu Kanhua was a little weak-hearted, but at the commendation meeting later, he rewarded him with a big red flower, and he held his head high, forgetting Li Zhangong, who was humiliated in the dark.

The news was concealed due to Gu Kanhua's strong request, and Gu Heyi heard that his son had made meritorious contributions during the transformation, but he didn't know what to do, so he could only scold a few times for "making evil", hoping to reduce his son's sin, and after returning home, he was still conscientious and took on the role of a father.

The turmoil ended a decade later, and many people were overturned. The family that lost the shroud of political terror has returned to peace, and Gu Kanhua and Gu Heyi are like ordinary people, becoming ordinary fathers and sons.

Gu Kanhua became the governor of the city, Gu Heyi's application for reversal of the case was also submitted, and the whole family life gradually moved towards a normal track until one day a year later.

It has been a year since the end of the turmoil, and the remnants of the turmoil have been plagued for another year, Gu Heyi's file is stuck in the head of the current director and the current personnel management of the county, Li Zhangong has still not been released, and the group of people who were safe and sound continued to be tortured for another year, until this year, after not being able to stand the torture, his body collapsed, and the news of his death came.

The matter of the dead is very serious, and the whole county is in an uproar. Gu Kanhua panicked when he learned the news, suppressed a breath in his chest, and almost didn't come up. Gu Kanhua knew that his father would be very sad, so he asked for leave from the factory and hurried home.

Gu Kanhua was still not able to go home in the end, as soon as he walked not far from the door, he saw Gu Heyi's eyes reddened, looking at him resentfully, holding a long and thick stick in his hand, and yelling at him, "Get out!

"Dad, it's not like this, can you listen to me, can you finish speaking?" Gu Kanhua had no master, so he panicked directly, and suddenly knelt down and kept explaining to Gu Heyi. Gu He Yi didn't say a word, Gu Kanhua felt cold, he followed the source to find it, and saw a pair of resentful eyes, Gu Kanhua looked at it carefully for a long time, his face suddenly turned pale, and he recognized that the person was Li Zhangong's second brother.

Gu Kanhua knew that Gu Heyi knew the important content, and stepped forward and kowtowed deeply.

"Dad, I'm leaving, take care. ”

Gu Kanhua turned around three times and reluctantly left home. He knew that if he left this time, it would be difficult for him to return to his home.
