"Everything is for the masses, everything depends on the masses, from the masses, to the masses." Li Shouxian repeatedly stressed the mass line at the work meeting of the newly established Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and government, "This does not mean that the masses are right in everything, our People's Party is the vanguard of the workers' league, so we must rely on the broad masses of laborers." On the basis of land reform, we should promote the development of the labor force, mingle with the working masses, and solve the problems encountered by the working masses in the labor process. So we must always remember that we are also part of the workforce. ”

Being able to consistently adhere to such a style is the biggest reason why Li Shouxian has been able to rise to prominence in the party. As a laborer who knows how hard work is, Li Shouxian never hides his selfishness, and what he hopes most is that everyone around him is a real worker, so that he can really get things done. Organizationally, a large number of young cadres were mobilized to work in Zhejiang to liberate Hebei and Shandong. The campaign to liberate the northeast and the campaign to liberate the southeast were carried out in a short period of time, and the shortage of cadres was particularly serious. In this difficult period, it was able to assign hundreds of young cadres to Li Shouxian, and the Organization Department did its best.

"The first task now is to purge the reactionaries, right?" Some comrades feel that Li Shouxian is really putting the cart before the horse.

To such a question, Li Shouxian calmly replied: "If we had only killed the reactionaries, most of the masses would have thought that we had only defeated the reactionaries by force. Of course, this is also a way to establish a new order, but I think we can do better. Let the masses understand why we have to kill the reactionaries, and whether the masses support us or why we do not matter very much. Letting the masses understand what kind of new society we want to build is the way for the revolution to really penetrate deep into the masses. ”

"What if, having figured out the purpose of our revolution, the masses choose to support the reactionaries?" A comrade asked.

Li Shouxian was not angry at such a difficulty, he looked at the young comrade and said with a smile: "If such a thing really happens, it will first prove that our propaganda has had an effect." One thing you have to know, comrade, is that the masses of the people are smart, smarter than those who claim to be rulers. They are more accurate in their judgment of interests than anyone else. When the masses should tell nonsense and fool people, they can say more than anyone else. If you think that the masses will be buried for a force that is already doomed, it is a complete delusion! ”

The young comrades who spoke below saw that Li Shouxian was so broad-minded, and they no longer joked. He asked: "Secretary Li, I have never understood why the masses cannot have a higher consciousness. What is the fundamental difference between us BJP members and the masses? ”

Many comrades have had this issue before, and all of them pricked up their ears and waited to hear Li Shouxian's speech on this matter.

"The fundamental difference between us the BJP and the masses is that we have a strong organization, and each of us depends on the various resources provided by this organization. And we ourselves have provided this organization with the labor that we can. Even if there are lazy people in it, organizational discipline and organizational rules are all restricting us. Comrades who could not meet the needs of the organization were basically transferred from their posts. I take the military as an example, and with a single order from Chairman Chen, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of soldiers can sincerely cooperate for the same purpose. This is not because Chairman Chen has any personal power, nor is it because everyone blindly worships Chairman Chen. If Chairman Chen is in this position, he must personally serve the interests of the entire organization and the entire liberated areas. After we liberate the whole of China, he must serve the interests of the whole of China. This is true of each and every one of us, and since our interests come from such a huge organization, then each of us must serve the interests of the organization. That's the position. ”

The comrades were silent, for this was the first time that a major cadre had explained to them so clearly and clearly the relationship between the individual and the organization from the perspective of pure interests. Although everyone has not heard this, for comrades, the words of big cadres are more convincing than the words of political secretaries and others around them. Although Li Shouxian said exactly the same thing as other secretaries of political committees at all levels.

Li Shouxian continued: "Comrades, why do you think that the masses are not conscious? Because the masses can only rely on themselves, no matter how big they are, they have to rely on their families, and if they expand a little more, they have to rely on their families. When people say that it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, this means that even within a close organization such as a family or clan, the contradiction between individual interests and overall interests is already very intense. In an organization as large as ours, there is no need for people with ulterior motives to stir up trouble, and just in various departments and in various time periods, legitimate needs can lead to fierce debates and even confrontations. This is the conflict of interest. Specific issues can be analysed on a case-by-case basis, but anyone who thinks that such a conflict will not occur is making a mistake of not being realistic. ”

Hearing this, the comrades burst into laughter. Li Shouxian's words made the young comrades feel relieved for a while, because most of the time the arguments in ordinary times are often met with accusations of "disunity". And the rebellious mentality of young people is very dissatisfied with this constraint.

"Then when we return to the mass line, there is one thing we must clearly recognize. This world is changing all the time, and if there is a world that no longer changes, that world must be a world of death. As long as we exist in this material world, the world is changing all the time. The biggest change in China today is that the old social system will be overthrown, and we, the People's Party, as the vanguard of the working people, will build a new world. To follow the mass line is to enable the working masses to come into contact with our organization and accept our organizational services. And the service we provide is to help people work better. The masses will naturally have various needs, and we must be good at listening to the needs of the masses. Moreover, we must learn to grasp the needs of the masses who are trying to change their destiny through labor and trying to improve their lives through labor. As long as we can discover these needs and meet these needs of the masses, then the masses will definitely be able to stand on our side! ”

Speaking of this, Li Shouxian waved his arm in the air, "Everything is for the masses, everything depends on the masses, from the masses, to the masses." This is the mass line, and it is also the working method that we must adhere to! ”

The comrades immediately began to applaud enthusiastically, and these words immediately raised the self-confidence in everyone's hearts. In the face of the complicated situation, the masses' lack of cooperation or even questioning, and simply shouting "everything for the masses" like a slogan will not solve any problem at all. Many comrades have complained in private, "How many nails can you twist with iron?" If I work alone and the masses ignore me, what's the use? And Li Shouxian's words made everyone's eyes shine, and many specific methods were already very clear in Li Shouxian's words.

Li Shouxian said with a smile: "It's useless to say more, comrades, let's start working!" ”

After the meeting, the secretaries of the political committees in charge of party and government work smiled at Li Shouxian: "Secretary Li, you release this group of Sun monkeys out of Huaguo Mountain, just wait for them to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace!" ”

Li Shouxian said with a smile: "Is there a big trouble in the Heavenly Palace? As long as they go to work, they know that when the mantra of labor takes the lead, what kind of Sun Dasheng will have a headache! ”

Although they didn't hear Li Shouxian's words, the young Sun monkeys soon knew how hard it was to work. Even if the suppression of the reactionaries is not allowed to expand, it does not mean that Li Shouxian has come to protect the reactionaries. After convincing the comrades and determining the general direction of the work in Zhejiang as a whole at the meeting of the provincial party committee, Li Shouxian immediately presided over the liquidation of the reactionaries in western Zhejiang.

The difference between whether there is a household registration or not is effective at this time, and many things can be clarified by conducting inquiries about the determined household registration, and finding out the whereabouts of the missing person. The Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army recreated the local household register and rebuilt the population files. It's not just a lot of paperwork, it's a thorough understanding of the place. Some people have to stay in the local area to find out the population and household registration. There are also comrades who have to go everywhere, and in addition to checking the data, they also have to report the data back to the statistical department. It's a job of breaking your legs and breaking your mouth.

After the preliminary completion of the statistical work, the western part of Zhejiang will have to investigate the missing persons. The largest number of missing persons in western Zhejiang are women and children. The Beiyang Army has a military prostitution system. In order to curry favor with the officers of the Beiyang Army, the reactionaries in western Zhejiang also gave good-looking women to the officers of the Beiyang Army. Finding the whereabouts of these women as quickly as possible is a difficult task.

As more and more Zhejiang cities were liberated, comrades in western Zhejiang began to search for trafficked people in various places based on the information they had gathered. The development of the matter is just as Li Shouxian said, the Sun monkeys who were released did not have time to do anything wrong, as long as they were comrades who went to work, they all embarked on a long journey to seek the right path.

The women of western Zhejiang, who had been trafficked by the reactionaries to various places, began to be recovered one by one. The women were bullied and invited to participate in interrogations and confrontations when they returned to their hometowns. When they saw the enemy who had killed their relatives and sold them to other places, the women immediately went up desperately to fight these reactionaries. If it had not been for the comrades who had been prepared to stop them in a hurry, many of the reactionaries who had been bound by ropes would have had their blood spilled on the spot.

It was not only the trafficked women who were brought back, but also some of the traffickers involved in the arrest and escort to western Zhejiang. Even the documents for the sale of human beings have been seized. The human and material evidence is complete, and the guys who originally denied and refused to admit their crimes finally gave in. Most of the reason why they insist on not giving an account is due to the stubborn human instinct to admit defeat. These guys know very well that in terms of what they do, even if it is not the current situation when the People's Party controls western Zhejiang, as long as it is not a particularly bastard period, these crimes are also capital crimes. Once admitted, the crime is conclusive. Being killed is someone else's business, and admitting that you deserve to die is something that heroes and cowards can easily do.

In the face of conclusive human and physical evidence, the psychological defense line of some guys who had been struggling to persist finally collapsed. And the ugly side of human beings is vividly expressed in them. Regardless of the friendship when they killed together, these people rushed to expose the crimes of their accomplices. This helped a lot to find out what was going on in western Zhejiang.

In addition to subduing the reactionaries, the meticulous and arduous work of the People's Party also exerted a tremendous influence among the ordinary masses in western Zhejiang. Seeing with their own eyes that the People's Party had found the women who everyone thought they would never see again, the comrades who were amazed by the masses also knew that the past could no longer be hidden, and after the original luck mentality disappeared, the masses began to cooperate with the work of the People's Party, and various revelations gradually increased.
