Chapter Eighty-Five: When It's Time to Go Down, It's Time to Go Down
"The old Ye family is full of talents!" Comrade Fang He looked at Ye Ziping's articles that he had received in his hands one after another, and said with some emotion.
In the past, Comrade Fang He didn't think that Ye Ziping had much ability, if it weren't for Ye Ziping's sudden attack in the Propaganda Department this time, openly contradicting Minister He Yun, and supporting himself in the newspapers and magazines in Beijing, it is estimated that Comrade Fang He would not have thought that there was such a junior in the old Ye family.
After this incident, although Comrade Fang He had an impression of Ye Ziping, he didn't feel how good he was, after all, Ye Ziping may just uphold Ye Xiangqian's will, show the presence of the old Ye family in the propaganda system, and show his support for himself by the way.
Later, Ye Ziping went to the Soviet Union for an inspection visit, even if he was kicked out of the Propaganda Department by Minister He Yun and sat on a cold bench, it can be imagined that when he comes back, there will definitely be no Ye Ziping's position in the Propaganda Department.
Although a series of articles were only circulated among senior cadres, their significance was very significant, and this was a comprehensive comparative analysis of the reform cause between China and the Soviet Union, as well as a discussion of differences.
In particular, the model of Soviet reform and some important mistakes made by Gorbachev are very intuitively manifested, and it is also the first time that a high-ranking cadre in the domestic political circles has directly expressed negative opinions on the reform process of the Soviet Union.
However, Comrade Fang He also saw very clearly that Ye Ziping's purpose in denying the Gorbachev-style reform in the Soviet Union was to make it easier for everyone to distinguish it from the reform cause in China, and to prove the correctness and advanced nature of the reform and opening up cause in China through the differences in social and people's livelihood issues.
To put it bluntly, Ye Ziping firmly stood on the side of supporting the continued and vigorous promotion of China's reform and opening up.
How can all this not surprise Fang and comrades who are eager to promote the cause of reform and opening up in China?
Comrade Hong Zheng, who was accompanying him, saw that Comrade Fang and Comrade Fang were pleased, so he also said, "I have also read Minister Ye's masterpiece one by one, it is indeed very innovative and very content, in my opinion, it should be possible to open up the scope of circulation one after another and publish it in the party media moderately." β
"This matter can be considered, and I am trying to promote it." Comrade Fang He nodded and said, "This is of great significance for vigorously promoting the cause of reform. In my opinion, the Mingzhu Municipal Party Committee can take the first step and publish some objective articles in the party newspaper that have little impact. β
Comrade Hong Zheng nodded, he is a die-hard supporter of Comrade Fang He, and he is naturally responsible for the implementation of this matter.
*********************
"Father, what do you think about this?"
Qingfeng Villa on the outskirts of Beijing, in the Yunhai residence, Comrade Chu Feng was chatting with his son Chu Yunsong.
Recently, Comrade Chu Feng's health has not been very good, and he always has a cold that cannot be cured, and today is a rare day when the weather is good, so he basks in the sun on the recliner in the courtyard.
When Comrade Chu Feng heard his son's words, he started to pull the woolen blanket covering his legs upward, and then replied slowly, "Ye Ziping's article is still relatively readable. I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain. The problems of the Soviet Union, if you are in it, you may lose your way, but if the distance is too far, it will be like looking at the moon in the fog and water, and you can't see too thoroughly. Ye Ziping is engaged in propaganda work, and he has a relatively deep foundation in this area, and this time he went to the Soviet Union, visited the field, made comparative analysis, and made great efforts, these articles are all very good, especially for us to understand and understand the Soviet reform, and to analyze why the Soviet reform came into a predicament. β
After a pause, Comrade Chu Feng said, "The real significance of Ye Ziping's series of articles to the present is no less than the role of the article "Time is the Only Criterion for Testing Truth" back then. β
Although Chu Yunsong also felt that Ye Ziping's series of articles was refreshing, and a little deafening, which was very different from the popular clichΓ©s, he did not expect that his father would make such a high evaluation of Ye Ziping.
"Father is not about the current reform process...... Have any reservations? Although Chu Yunsong's words were more tactful, the meaning was still very clear.
As a matter of fact, in the past two years, Comrade Chu Feng has leaned toward the conservative forces and is regarded as the general backstage of the conservative forces, and he has not made secret of the fact that he is very worried about the many problems that have arisen in the cause of reform, and he has the intention of overturning them and starting over.
Comrade Chu Feng smiled and said, "People's positions cannot be static, and what was said before may also change. I am only questioning and reflecting on the reform, and what I oppose is blindly moving forward if I can't see the direction clearly, and if the management can fully understand the future risks and make preparations for both, I am still in favor of the reform. After all, reformers need a lot of courage and have to face the criticism of countless people, and Comrade Fang He has the courage to do things and is full of courage, and I still admire him very much. β
After hearing this, Chu Yunsong nodded, but he still couldn't figure out what his father really meant.
Could it be that my father plans to support the vigorous promotion of reform and opening up? Chu Yunsong was a little suspicious in his heart.
"Father, I heard that the Central Committee may abolish the Central Advisory Committee before next year's Party Congress." Chu Yunsong thought of another rumor that was of great interest to his father, and couldn't help but ask.
"There's such a thing." Comrade Chu Feng nodded, "I am in favor of this matter." β
"Why?" Chu Yunsong was puzzled when he heard this.
Rights, rights, no rights, where does the benefit come from? He didn't understand why his father would give up the stage of the Central Advisory Committee, which was quite powerful, didn't that mean that he was going to retire completely?
"When you're older, you have to go down." Comrade Chu Feng said with some emotion, "Look at my current appearance, is it suitable to insist on working in a fixed position?" Many of our comrades are just unable to establish a correct outlook on rights, which is why they will not be able to protect themselves in their later years and make mistakes that they will regret for the rest of their lives. Now that my mind is still clear, I naturally have to make this choice. β
When Chu Yunsong heard this, he was touched a lot in his heart, thinking that if his father also completely retired, what kind of changes would happen to the political situation in this country?
Next year's Party Congress seems to be another important session that is surging and related to the fate of countless people!
