61. The Terror of Great Industry (3)

Li Shouxian, secretary of the Yingshan County CPC Committee, looked at the outline of today's meeting in the library of the party school in Wuhan, saying that Chairman Chen Ke had recently taken over the management of Hubei, and then he had begun to convene the secretaries of the Hubei Provincial CPC Committee and various cities and counties for a meeting.

The documents provided at the meeting are divided into two categories, one is a summary of the specific work of the People's Party in the past five years. One is the outline of the meeting. Undoubtedly, the summary of the specific work has aroused the strong interest of the overwhelming majority of comrades. Li Shouxian was only a beat slower, and all the specific work summaries were occupied, and three or four comrades read a summary next to each other. I can't get into my head anymore. In desperation, Li Shouxian could only take the discussion outline and look at it.

"What is the People's Revolution", "Programme of Communism and Socialism". These extremely theoretical summaries have indeed aroused the interest of many comrades. Instead of going through the trouble of reading this, it would be easier to listen to Chairman Chen Ke at the meeting.

Li Shouxian glanced around the large reading room of the library again, and wherever there was a crowd of people, there was no doubt that comrades were reading specific work summaries, and about eighty percent of the comrades were reading these. About 20 percent of the comrades were frowning and burying their heads in reading, and the content they read was undoubtedly theoretical lectures.

Li Shouxian casually flipped through the "theoretical discussion" booklet he had obtained, and a sentence jumped into his eyes. It is not so much that this sentence is conspicuously positioned, but that the manual emphatically marks it in the form of a red line: "At present, both economic research and economic construction pay attention to a tendency that is not scientific enough, that is, to pay too much attention to the productive forces and ignore the research and construction of production relations." The development of our People's Party is by no means a simple accumulation of productive forces, but needs to be built in the form of overall study and exploration......"

Chen Ke's expression was quite serious when he said this, and Li Shouxian was deeply impressed by this. However, I don't know which reader it was, but I wrote a comment next to it: "A priori?! "Big question marks and exclamation marks should be expressions of doubt and dissatisfaction. It is not clear whether the object of dissatisfaction was Chen Ke, who wrote this passage, or a comrade with a "tendency to be productive forces."

Li Shouxian thought that his theoretical knowledge was not solid, and he was a little envious of these comrades who dared to criticize other comrades under a clear banner. Li Shouxian's family is a solid middle peasant and has read some books. After the flood caused the destruction of Li Shouxian's family, he received compulsory education from the People's Party. Up to now, Li Shouxian can be regarded as able to read, write and calculate, but in the early years, the idea of ancient Chinese education has long been overwhelmed by the modern Chinese education of the People's Party. It's okay for him to write in the vernacular, but he really can't make a concluding statement in such a short content.

Flipping through his thick notebook, Li Shouxian finally found the word "transcendental theory". The following is an explanation copied by Li Shouxian. "Transcendentalism: a manifestation of idealist epistemology. It is fundamentally opposed to materialist reflection theory. It is believed that human knowledge is something that precedes sensory experience and social practice, and it is innate. It is also known as transcendentalism, idealism, transcendentalism. While reading this text silently, Li Shouxian racked his brains to recall the knowledge he learned in which class, and how the teacher who gave the lecture explained this content. After thinking about it for a while, Li Shouxian remembered that it was Qi Huishen, secretary of the Anhui Provincial Party Committee, who gave this lesson. It provides an analysis of complex idealistic materialism.

"These learned comrades are just different." Li Shouxian couldn't help but sigh.

When Chairman Chen Ke convened a meeting of Hubei comrades with "cadre training", Li Shouxian never imagined that the situation would turn out to be the present. What was supposed to be a meeting in Hubei turned out to be a national party congress of the People's Party. Party representatives from all provinces gathered in Wuhan. This kind of three plenary meetings is not the same as in the past, but mainly for the organization of work and related discussions. Under the leadership of Chairman Chen Ke, more than 1,200 delegates elected from nearly 60,000 People's Party members and probationary Party members held an ideological discussion meeting.

This meeting was not just a matter of listening to reports, as was the case in the past, and all the delegates had to participate in the discussion and logically accept the concept of the socialist system and the people's revolution. In addition to learning and social practice, it is group discussion. Li Shouxian has always been concerned about the work in the county, and feels that he can go back to work after listening to the work arrangement. Unexpectedly, Chairman Chen Ke spoke, and this time the discussion is not finished, and no one wants to go back.

Since Chairman Chen had spoken, everyone felt that they should hurry up and go back to work after the meeting. So the discussion was really positive. As a result, after several small meetings of the congress, even Li Shouxian, who thought that he had no concept of "profound" political concepts, found that there were not many people in the party who opposed Chairman Chen Ke in many ideas.

The BJP has also had many large and small trainings in the past, and many concepts and consensus are there. For example, the overthrow of the imperial system, the establishment of a socialist republic, and the realization of the people's democratic dictatorship are all indisputable contents in the People's Party.

Those who can be elected as party deputies are comrades with considerable practical experience. Much of the content of specific work and theoretical elaboration is attached to the work arrangement. At that time, everyone heard that it made a lot of sense, and it was also very effective for specific work. However, the extent to which these theories are remembered by the comrades after the work is done and continue to be applied in other work varies greatly.

Li Shouxian thought he was not smart enough, and he read those documents repeatedly every time he had time. Attempts to combine this with mass work have yielded some results. After listening to his speeches at this meeting, he felt that many comrades not only failed to integrate their work with mobilizing the masses, but some even advocated doing the opposite. Their attitude is not only not to mobilize the masses, but even to advocate restricting them, but to adopt the model of unilateral and absolute leadership of the BJP. These comrades gave various examples to prove that this method was the most efficient and the most thorough in sweeping away the enemy.

Since there are comrades who hold this attitude, there is naturally another faction that believes that as long as the BJP can maintain its dominant position, it will temporarily agree with the present local situation, and even attribute the gentry and landlords to a force that "can temporarily cooperate in an all-round way." In order to quickly advance the goal of the BJP taking full power in the four provinces.

At the meeting, Chairman Chen Ke criticized the comrades who held both attitudes. There was a big debate from theory to practice. In the end, Chairman Chen Ke had to ask all comrades to report on their work at the meeting, and "criticize and self-criticize" at the meeting. At the same time, the article "The Present Situation of Various Classes in China" is discussed and analyzed.

Originally, many comrades thought that the meeting could be completed in five or six days, but in the blink of an eye, it exceeded everyone's expectations. Chairman Chen Ke not only did not mean to let everyone go back, but also summoned one-tenth of the party members and probationary party members to enter the party school for training in the name of the party school. What started as a meeting of 1,200 people turned into a study and meeting for 6,000 people in the blink of an eye. Chairman Chen Ke personally served as the president of the Party School, and Qi Huishen, Secretary of the Anhui Provincial Party Committee, served as the vice president.

This time, it is not only a matter of the party's constitution, but also the party school's emphasis on organizational discipline. Chairman Chen Ke called for the establishment of "discipline like steel". It includes the organization of various regular meetings and ad hoc meetings. The comrades in each position are responsible for the division of labor, the internal review of the party organization, and the reporting system. Including various accountability systems. If something goes wrong, which department is responsible.

These articles of association already existed, but this time they were only refined and improved through discussions. All contents should be discussed and trained by party organizations at all levels of party schools. Each party group has to learn about these jobs. In addition to the oral exam, there is also a written test. These are not bad, most comrades, including Li Shouxian, feel that trouble is trouble, but this has also been proved a lot. A clear division of labor and responsibilities are in place, which is still very beneficial to the work.

The first sharp contradiction erupted over the "whistleblowing". The promulgated "Regulations on Reporting Party Members" requires that all Party members have the obligation to report bad behavior within the Party. All Party members must be loyal to the cause of the Party and report publicly and privately against words and deeds that violate the discipline of the Party organization.

"Isn't this a snitch?" The party school was completely fried. Criticism and self-criticism are one thing, but whistleblowing is another. The former is a work discussion issue, and if you don't say it yourself, or when you are criticized by your comrades, you will be thick-skinned, and you will get through it. Even so, there are not just one or two comrades who turn against each other in the middle of open criticism and self-criticism. But the latter, in this era, is a matter of black guns.

Originally, the improvement of the organizational structure and the clear division of responsibilities made many comrades very dissatisfied. What many comrades envy is Chen Ke's great power and free demeanor, and the division of responsibilities directly makes this possibility come to naught. And the public and private reports have made the comrades in the leadership positions feel extremely uneasy. Because this kind of report is aimed at the "Discipline Inspection Commission," because there is a shortage of cadres everywhere and the Discipline Inspection Commission is short of manpower, quite a number of young cadres have joined the Discipline Inspection Commission. The veteran cadres may not be able to afford these comrades. If the new cadres are allowed to override the old cadres just because they have entered the Discipline Inspection Commission, this is not a situation that the old cadres are willing to see.

Moreover, many of the party members are new party members, and they do not have a good understanding of the people's party. Moreover, they have not been subject to strict discipline and have a very heavy "charlatanism," and all kinds of problems are entangled, and with "opposing private reports and demanding open criticism and self-criticism" as an excuse, many comrades in the party school have made a fuss.

Li Shouxian does not like to form cliques, and he has always agreed with Chen Ke's ideas. So for the time being, no one pulled Li Shouxian to join this noisy force. However, thinking of the current situation, Li Shouxian also felt very uneasy in his heart.
