Wang Shiwei's miserable life.

1942 In March, Wang Shiwei, a translator of Marxist-Leninist works in Yan 'an and a special researcher of China Literature and Art Research Office of Academia Sinica, published the essay Wild Lily in the literary supplement of Liberation Daily, the central organ newspaper of China. The article recalls that Li Fen, his female classmate at Peking University, went back to Shaoyang, Hunan Province to engage in the underground activities of the party and said, "I have not stopped. Then, it is divided into four parts to discuss and criticize his dissatisfaction.

After Mao Zedong read "Wild Lily" in the newspaper, Hu Qiaomu told Wang Shiwei: This article is an absolutely egalitarian view from an incorrect standpoint, and it is a stab in the back method. ..... The article is full of hostility to the leaders, and there is a feeling of provoking ordinary comrades to attack with drums. As long as it is party member, this is not allowed.

What's more, the Kuomintang and the National Government made use of Wang Shiwei's articles to compile a pamphlet about Wild Lily and others, which was distributed everywhere as a political movement to "crusade" the China * * * production party. . In the annotation of the pamphlet, I wrote: "China * * * … praised Yan 'an as a revolutionary holy land … However … in northern Shaanxi, corruption and factional collusion greatly disappointed the young people who came to northern Shaanxi to call for resistance to Japan, and also made many old party member feel sad about their future decline. "The royal literati of the Kuomintang also published a special issue entitled" Seeing the darkness of Yan 'an from wild lilies ".

At that time, Academia Sinica was the place to train senior theoretical cadres of the Party. As a special researcher in this institute, Wang Shiwei's thoughts and views on Wild Lily have caused great confusion in the Party and won the sympathy of many young intellectuals who have just arrived in Yan 'an.

In order to eliminate the bad influence and put the Yan 'an rectification movement on the right track, Academia Sinica held a symposium on "Party Democracy and Discipline" from May 27th.

Kang Sheng was then the Minister of Social Affairs of the Central Committee. In this rectification movement, the Central Committee set up a General Learning Committee to guide the rectification movement. Kang Sheng is the deputy director of the General Academic Committee, and Mao Zedong is the director. Mao Zedong quickly said to Kang Sheng, "The actual work of the General Academic Committee depends on you."

The symposium lasted 16 days. It was a mistake for Wang Shiwei to be criticized and helped four days ago, but under the guidance of Kang Sheng, the forum soon became a struggle meeting in Wang Shiwei. On the fifth day, it escalated into a political issue; On the 6th day, it was revealed that he had said that "some Trotsky theories are correct", "Stalin's humanity is not pleasing" and "the failure of the China Revolution is the responsibility of international producers". Others said that he had a history with Trotsky in Shanghai from 65438 to 0930, and also helped them translate two chapters in Trotsky's autobiography. Three days later, someone called Wang Shiwei "Trotskyist" at the meeting.

And Wang Shiwei's attitude? Although he was criticized at the meeting and the party Committee sent people to talk in turn after the meeting, he refused to reflect.

At this time, it was proved that Cheng Quan and Wang Li visited Academia Sinica together, because Pan and Zong lived in the cave next door to Wang Shiwei, and the two couples visited Wang Shiwei together. Later, five people went back and forth several times and had dinner together. On this basis, the five of them were described as "Trotskyite relationship", their contacts were described as "Trotskyite organization activities", and finally they were designated as "anti-Party five-member group". At the instigation of Kang Sheng, the Party Committee of Academia Sinica made a decision to expel Wang Shiwei from the Party in June 5438+0942+00, saying that he "has never stopped Trotskyism since he joined Trotskyism in June 5438+0929" and "is a counter-revolution hidden in the Party".

1943 in April, Kang Sheng ordered the arrest of Wang Shiwei. During his detention, Wang Shiwei was found to have worked in the Kuomintang Central Party Department for three months from 65438 to 0927. Therefore, in addition to being a "counter-revolutionary Trotskyite agent" and a "member of a five-member anti-party clique", Wang Shiwei also wore a black hat: "hiding a Kuomintang spy". Wang Shiwei's experience in Yan 'an was completely unknown to his wife Liu Ying.

Liu Ying, a native of Changsha, 1926 was admitted to the liberal arts preparatory class of Peking University and shared a dormitory with Li Fen. Introduced by Li Fen, 1926 joined China * * * Production Party, and was also in a branch with Wang Shiwei. They got married on 1930.

1in July, 937, the gunfire of Lugouqiao spread the voice of resisting Japan and saving the nation to the whole country. They were in Kaifeng, Wang Shiwei's hometown. Two young producers, party member, agreed to go to Yan 'an to fight against Japan. At that time, however, they had children, and Liu Ying's stomach grew bigger every day. I had to have an abortion immediately, but paying for abortion drugs twice didn't solve the problem. Wang Shiwei couldn't wait and went to Yan 'an first. Liu Ying returned to Changsha and had a laparotomy to terminate her pregnancy. You can go to Yan' an when you are basically recovered. At this time, the Japanese army occupied Wuhan and other places and blocked several passages leading to Yan' an.

After the liberation of Changsha, Liu Ying was working happily while inquiring about Wang Shiwei. Some people say that Wang Shiwei may be in the northeast. 1950 In April, Jilin came to Hunan to recruit teachers, while Liu Ying was teaching, he came to Jilin, far away from home, to find a husband.

One day in the 1970s, Liu Ying turned on the CCTV broadcast and suddenly heard Wang Shiwei's name. She held her breath and listened carefully. The article actually said that Wang Shiwei was a hidden "Kuomintang spy" and had already been executed. After a while, Liu Ying was in a daze. After waiting for 40 years, how can the 72-year-old woman be so hit?

Liu Ying got to the bottom of it, only to know that her husband's death was due to Kang Sheng's words.

1in mid-March, 947, 250,000 Kuomintang troops under the command of Hu Zongnan invaded Yan 'an. A group of cadres from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security formed a brigade and left Yan 'an for Xingxian County in the northwest of Shanxi Province. Wang Shiwei accompanied the team. After Wang Shiwei arrived in Xingxian County, he was taken to the interrogation department of Jinsui Public Security Bureau. In mid-June, Xing County was bombed by enemy planes, and the Jinsui Public Security Bureau requested the execution of Wang Shiwei, which was "verbally approved" by Kang Sheng. 1 in July, Chiang Kai-shek bombed Xing County again, and the interrogation department of Jinsui Public Security Bureau collapsed. Including detention centres, should be relocated immediately. In order to lighten the burden, Wang Shiwei was executed that night.

1983, she came to Beijing and found the insider Li to complain. According to Li's suggestion, the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made a decision on the so-called "anti-Party five-member group" of,, Chen Chuangang (that is, Bi Qigong) and Wang Ruqi (that is, Wang Li) in February 65438. Wang Shiwei totally denied the so-called "five-member anti-party clique".

199 1 On February 7th, China people and the Ministry of Public Security finally made the Review Decision on Trotskyism of Comrade Wang Shiwei, pointing out that after review, Comrade Wang Shiwei had contacts with former Peking University classmates Wang Fanxi and Chen (both Trotskyism) during his stay in Shanghai on 1930. In the existing Wang Shiwei's confession materials, Wang has repeatedly expressed his concern about participating in trotskyite organizations. During the re-examination, we did not find Comrade Wang Shiwei's participation in trotskyite organizations. Therefore, the conclusion that 1946 was classified as a "counter-revolutionary Trotskyist" was corrected, and Wang was wrongly executed in the war environment and was rehabilitated.

After being wronged for half a century, the Wang Shiwei case finally got a fair statement. Wang Shiwei is also called "Comrade", which is the 44th year since he was wrongly executed.

199 1 In the spring of, two comrades from the Ministry of Public Security came to Liu Ying's house. Liu Ying, who was 85 years old at that time, saw that Wang Shiwei had been called "comrade" in the review decision, and tears filled his eyes with excitement. When the comrades of the Ministry of Public Security gave her 10000 yuan solatium, she resolutely refused to donate all solatium to the local Federation of Literary and Art Circles as a youth literature award fund.
