The impact of the article "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth" was unprecedentedly huge for a period of time after its publication, so that Fan Wubing's family was also involved.
The influence of * was still there. Although the Gang of Four had been arrested for a long time, there were still some differences in the upper class's understanding of * or the historical issues left over from their ex.
As soon as this article was published, it immediately attracted some opposition, believing that this was a subversion of traditional cognition and that it was to completely deny the hard work of the previous decades, which was extremely dangerous and extremely wrong!
A powerful figure instructed some heads of the central propaganda department to "not express their opinions" or "not get involved" in the discussion on the issue of the standard of truth. Some people even accused this article of "the article actually pointed the finger at Chairman Mao's thoughts" and asked "Which central government's opinion is this?!" to suppress it.
Fan Wubing knew that this article was a prelude to the successful launch of China's reform and opening up, and also a major collision of public opinion thinking. After that, the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee officially determined the main tone for the next few decades. It can be said that this article came into being. As for the details, he was too young at that time and did not have a clear understanding. As for the details later, he did not conduct systematic research on the details of this period. Therefore, after seeing the original article in the newspaper, he could not help but write a commentary article based on what he knew later.
Because it was a whim, Fan Wubing didn't care about the article he had written, so he threw it aside and was thrown into the pile of newspapers.
Schools often have to publish some blackboard newspapers. It happened to be Zhang Mei’s turn to have a class on this weekend. This kind of thing is usually copied by student cadres. On the one hand, it is to train students, and on the other hand, it means that each class compares each other to form a healthy competitive situation where flowers bloom.
"Teacher Zhang, what are we going to do today's board report?" The squad leader Lin Miaomiao ran to the office to ask Zhang Mei for instructions.
It was Zhou, and Zhang Mei was discussing the next week's activity arrangement with teachers in the same grade in the conference room. So after hearing Lin Miaomiao's words, she just stopped and said to her, "Miaomiao, go to the teacher's desk and flip it out. It's under the newspaper. I have already written a manuscript. Just take it and copy it."
"Yes, goodbye to the teacher." Lin Miaomiao nodded and turned around and left.
After talking about the matter, Zhang Mei went home. She didn't remember this at all, because Lin Miaomiao was quite relieved. She just had to prepare the manuscript for the newsletter and didn't have to worry about the arrangement of flowers or anything else.
Who knew that Zhang Mei was so negligent and then a storm broke out.
On Monday, because Zhang Mei had something to do, the Chinese class in the class was replaced by a math teacher. She had no idea that the school was already in trouble at this time.
"Practice is the only criterion for testing truth" has long been circulated, but when people are afraid to talk about this topic due to the constraints of inertia, a commentary article about this article by a special commentator of Guangming Daily appeared on the blackboard newspaper of a military-industrial enterprise in a small county-level city!
"In a sense, practice is the only criterion for testing truth, which is the loudest and most critical slogan in the past ten years. Since *, a "highest instruction" with a maximum sentence of ten thousand sentences has become the only criterion for testing truth, and no one has ever dared to propose: What to use to test the "highest instruction"? Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. The slogan proposed does not simply challenge the unquestionable authority, but to clear the way to new explorations." A teacher read the neatly written content on the blackboard newspaper, and couldn't help but feel frightened.
"How did such reactionary content be written?!" Someone immediately got furious.
Under decades of public opinion propaganda, the correctness of the leader is unquestionable. In the eyes of some people, the emergence of the article "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth" is itself a very serious problem. Now there are more "reactionary" follow-up comments. Is that amazing?!
"This is to defend the restoration of the bureaucratic bourgeoisie! It is to act as a shield for all reactionary behaviors! It is to find excuses for all despicable behaviors!" Feng Tonglin, who has served as deputy secretary of the Panshi Municipal Party Committee for more than ten years, slapped the table and shouted in great anger after seeing the emergency report materials sent to the table.
The head of the Municipal Public Security Bureau also solemnly pointed out that this was a long-planned counter-revolutionary incident! It was a conspiracy of bourgeois ambitions to restore the situation! It was a general attack number that some overthrown landlords and capitalists tried to counterattack! In short, the author must be found out and accepted by the people's trial! The conspiracy must be strangled in the cradle! The dignity of people's dictatorship cannot be challenged!
This is a countercurrent! A reactionary undercurrent that moves against the revolutionary trend!
Because this day was May 15th, the task force that was quickly established was named the "May 15th Incident" special task force. The Public Security Bureau drew elite troops and quickly entered the factory-owned children's school for emergency investigation.
The matter is very simple. The blackboard newspaper is published by students, and the class monitor Lin Miaomiao is written. Of course, it is impossible for fifth-grade primary school students to write such theoretically in-depth articles. It is naturally the first element to investigate the source of the article. The goal was quickly locked on the head teacher Zhang Mei. The task force took immediate action to control Zhang Mei who was doing business outside.
Zhang Mei didn't arrive at the school on Monday, so she naturally didn't know what happened in the school, and she naturally didn't know that "reactionary articles" had been created on the blackboard newspaper. Until the task force took her to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to cooperate with the investigation, she still looked unaware of it.
"Zhang Mei, did you write that article in your school's new blackboard newspaper?" the case handler asked straight to the point.
"Yes, is there any problem?" Zhang Mei felt very strange. She didn't know why the people from the Public Security Bureau asked her this question, nor did she know why they invited herself to the bureau.
Uh? The investigators found it very incredible. According to common sense, reactionaries always have to do everything possible to deny it for a while before they will be intimidated by the majesty of the just investigators and confess their guilt. Why did this woman respond so happily?
However, it is better to have less than more things. The superiors chased each other very closely, so the case handler asked again, "Why do you want to write this article?"
"Is this normal?!" Zhang Mei felt that the other party's question was simply unnecessary. The manuscript she prepared was titled "Spring of Education", and the content was also actively responding to the spirit of the National Education Conference held some time ago. Naturally, she would not have thought that the manuscript had been dropped.
"It's so reactionary that it's no longer saved!" When the investigator heard the other party's answer, he immediately came to a conclusion in his heart.
Chapter completed!
