In 1985, Wang Zhen objected to the ranking of the deputy directors of the Central Advisory Committee. Bo Yibo: I am the executive and have the right to insist
In 1982, China was at a special historical node, and the problem of the replacement of old and new leadership institutions needed to be solved urgently. So the Twelfth National Congress of the Communist Party of China made a major decision - announcing the establishment of the Central Advisory Committee, or the Central Advisory Committee for short. At that time, Bo Yibo was the standing member of the Central Advisory Committee, responsible for presiding over the daily work of the Committee.
At that time, a group of cadres who were about to retire joined the Central Advisory Committee. However, over time, by 1985, 113 members had retired from the Central Advisory Committee due to their age. In order to maintain the efficiency and continuity of the work of the CPC Central Committee, Bo Yibo, after careful consideration, decided to select 56 comrades from the older generation of cadres to join the CPC Central Committee.
In the ranking of 56 people, Wang Zhen ranked top and was nominated as the next deputy director of the Central Advisory Committee. However, when the list was handed to Wang Zhen, he frowned. After some thought, he picked up his pen and circled the name of Bo Yibo, the person behind him.
When Wang Zhen submitted the list and his request to the Central Advisory Committee, he was rejected. The CIC believes that the ranking should be based on the seniority, ability and contribution of the members, rather than on individual wishes.
In order to fight for his own demands, Wang Zhen went to the Central Advisory Committee to have a face-to-face dispute with Bo Yibo. In the heated discussion, the two people expressed their own opinions. At the end of the dispute, Bo Yibo directly told Wang Zhen:
"I am the executive and have the right to insist!"
What's wrong with this list? What is the root cause of their dispute?
"Wang Beard" who can cultivate and fight well
Wang Zhen was born in 1908 in an ordinary peasant family in Hunan. In his youth, his family had a warm and quiet time. At that time, although his family was not rich, his parents worked hard and sent Wang Zhen to the private school.
He spent several years studying in the private school, but the good times were not long. The society began to be unstable, and the family's economic situation gradually deteriorated. The shadow of war shrouded the countryside of Hunan. The farmland was deserted and the harvest declined sharply.
Wang Zhen's family is also in trouble, and the burden of life is on his young shoulders. He was not allowed to leave the school to herd cattle for the landlords and farm for his family, and he shouldered the burden of his family with his tender hands.
In 1922, 14-year-old Wang Zhen rushed to Changsha and became a railway worker. At that time, Wang Zhen was full of youthful spirit. He was not afraid of hard work or tiredness. He also liked reading in his spare time, so his leaders soon noticed this studious and hardworking boy.
In 1923, the leaders assigned Wang Zhen a task to participate in the Beijing Han Railway Strike with other colleagues and to distribute leaflets.
Others simply regarded it as a task, but Wang Zhen learned what communism was in this task. He began to learn all kinds of theoretical knowledge of our party eagerly and actively participated in various labor movements.
For the first time, he knew that there was a world like this, where all people were free from oppression and could decide their own destiny
From then on, the idea of communism began to take root in Wang Zhen's heart.
In 1925, Wang Zhen got to know Mao Zedong. Chairman Mao was very moved when he knew that he had learned a lot of communist knowledge by himself. Chairman Mao patted Wang Zhen on the shoulder and said to Wang Zhen, "To do revolution is to sacrifice!" This sentence was deeply engraved in Wang Zhen's heart.
In 1927, with his own efforts, Wang Zhen officially became a Communist Party member.
Later, Wang Zhen showed his outstanding military talents. He was eager to learn, and his head was bright. During the counter encirclement campaign in the Central Soviet Area, during the establishment of the revolutionary base in Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and Guizhou, during the Long March, and during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, he made many achievements.
Every time he takes on the next task, he will make a vow to shave his beard until he finishes the task well. Therefore, people often see Wang Zhen with a full face and beard, and the title of "Wang beard" has also spread.
Peng Dehuai not only praised Wang Zhen once, saying that he was a strong general of the Red Army.
However, Wang Zhen is very talented not only in commanding operations, but also in production movement. During the Anti Japanese War, the Kuomintang surrounded our army layer by layer and cut off the supply route. For the survival of our soldiers, Wang Zhen directly put down his gun and picked up his hoe, and began to cultivate crops in Nanniwan, a "haunted" place.
Without labor tools, he commanded the soldiers to pick up the enemy's shell casings and make them into labor tools. Finally, they were empty handed and turned the impoverished Nanniwan into a 300000 mu green and rippling granary, greatly realizing our goal of self-sufficiency.
After the founding of New China, Wang Zhen resolutely set foot on the vast land of Xinjiang and devoted himself to the hard production.
He personally led the team, braved hardships, and successfully reclaimed 800000 mu of fertile land. On this land, he has not only cultivated high-quality crops such as cotton and sugar beet suitable for the climate of Xinjiang, but also promoted the vigorous development of industries such as steel, coal and textile, laying a solid foundation for the economic construction of Xinjiang.
With the successful settlement of the field problem in Xinjiang, Wang Zhen's footsteps have not stopped. He continued to go to the farms in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and the Great Northern Wilderness in the north, and continued to contribute to the country's agricultural development.
Everywhere, he has won people's respect and praise for his outstanding performance and unremitting efforts. Wang Zhen's outstanding contributions have made him an important core figure of our party and made indelible contributions to the prosperity and prosperity of the country.
"All rounder" capable person Bo Yibo
Bo Yibo's father is the owner of the paper mill. Because he has access to books at ordinary times, Bo Yibo's father always believes that reading can be wise, so even if it is difficult at home, he should insist on keeping thin books for reading.
Later, Bo Shucun changed his name to Bo Yibo after he went to Taiyuan to study. That is to say, in the process of studying, he came into contact with communism and participated in many movements, from which he had a firm belief in revolution.
Bo Yibo's father was very open-minded. Even when he learned that his son might have joined the Communist Party, which caused some rumors in the village, he still firmly chose to believe in his son. Although he did not know about the Communist Party, he believed that his son would not go wrong after reading and understanding the truth.
With his father's understanding and support, Bo Yibo strengthened his determination to join the revolutionary cause. He bravely stood on the front line of the revolution at great risk. In Taiyuan, he led the student and worker movements. His courage and determination won people's admiration and respect, but he also became a thorn in the eye of the Kuomintang.
After the failure of the Great Revolution, Bo Yibo was wanted by the reactionary authorities. He was arrested and imprisoned four times, and suffered severe interrogation and torture. However, no matter how difficult and dangerous he faced, he never gave in and always stuck to his beliefs and revolutionary ideas.
In prison, Bo Yibo did not give up the struggle. He took every opportunity to publicize revolutionary ideas to his fellow prisoners and encourage them to persevere. His firmness and bravery infected people around him and let them see the hope and strength of the revolution.
Later, when Chairman Mao met with Bo Yibo, he learned about Bo Yibo's experience in prison. Chairman Mao said with emotion: "You regard prison as a school and popularize revolutionary knowledge to inmates. This kind of mentality and patience is admirable. How can it not be regarded as a victory?"
In this dialogue, Chairman Mao appreciated Bo Yibo very much and affirmed that Bo Yibo must have great prospects.
Bo Yibo did not disappoint Chairman Mao because of his strong learning ability, working ability and adaptability. He became a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in 1945, when he was only 37 years old, he was the youngest member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. He formulated the Outline of China's Land Law, which became the template for the later national land reform.
After the founding of New China, he also made a series of contributions in the economic field. He presided over various economic rectification activities, enabling the new China to achieve steady economic growth and price stability.
In 1954, he began to take charge of the "One Five Six Project" in the first five-year plan. In 1955, he was responsible for guiding the preparation work related to atomic energy. In the 1960s, he also directed the oilfield development and construction work in the Songliao Basin in Northeast China
From revolution to reform, to economy and to industry, Bo Yibo has been able to overcome problems in every field perfectly. He is the "all-round" talent of New China.
Both Wang Zhen and Bo Yibo have made a lot of efforts for the new China. They have also cooperated many times in the construction of the new China. Both of them are sympathetic to each other, but they can't help quarreling with each other when they have such a good relationship.
In 1982, Bo Yibo became the Executive Deputy Director of the Central Advisory Committee. In 1985, the Central Committee decided to increase the number of members of the Central Advisory Committee. After many meetings and discussions, Bo Yibo and others decided to let Wang Zhen serve as the deputy director of the Central Advisory Committee.
However, when the list was presented to Wang Zhen, Wang Zhen found that his name ranked first, while Bo Yibo ranked behind him. According to the regulations at that time, whoever ranked first in the list would be a higher level. After reading the list, Wang Zhen circled Bo Yibo's name and told the staff:
"Old Bo has great talent and great strategy. My ability is not as good as his. How can I let him rank behind me?"
Later, Wang Zhen handed the list to the Central Advisory Committee, but Bo Yibo didn't agree with him after seeing it. He felt that Wang Zhen had made great contributions to the new China and had rich experience in the construction of the new China. He led the Central Advisory Committee and was convinced, so he submitted it to Wang Zhen again according to the original list.
Wang Zhen always disagreed, and Bo Yibo refused to budge, so they started to argue. Finally, Bo Yibo patted the table, took out his identity as the current executive deputy director and said:
"I am the executive and have the right to insist!"
Bo Yibo said so. Wang Zhen naturally had no choice but to accept the organization's arrangement.
Later, they joined hands and made great contributions to the new China. Although the story of Wang Zhen and Bo Yibo's reciprocal ranking has become a chapter of history, the spiritual connotation contained in it is always shining bright and worth our constant learning and inheritance.
