Chapter 26 The Word Prison

In March 1978, when Chen Zhaojun was frantically collecting all the things he could collect related to * and this era, something happened.

After Chen Zhaoping entered Renmin University of China, he not only felt the charm of the highest institution of China, but also felt its enthusiasm. In the environment he has been, some people have begun to dare to say something, and the most prominent one is the institution of higher education. The people here are young people, courageous and energetic. Many of them firmly believe in their ideals and pursuits, and are all passionate young people who can shed blood and sacrifice for their beliefs. All of this is even more prominent in Renmin University of China, known as the cradle of Chinese politicians.

When he first arrived at university, Chen Zhaoping seemed a little restrained, but over time, some of his habits of being an officer came out again (good and bad have been the commander of the militia, but in fact, the children in the army all had these problems). Because he learned a lot of philosophical theories, and Chen Zhaojun instilled a lot of advanced political ideas in him. Chen Zhaoping began to gradually fall in love with debate with other classmates. Maybe there was a saying that was reasonable at the time: the facts were not clear, and the truth was not clear. Let's not say that there were too many idealistic things in this sentence. But at least, our classmate Chen Zhaoping gradually fell in love with this. As the debate deepened, Chen Zhaoping began to doubt some of the political thoughts at that time.

In order to provide insurance for Chen Zhaoping, Chen Zhaojun had already expressed the central idea of ​​the article "Practice is the only standard for testing truth" during the family debate. Chen Zhaoping certainly benefited a lot. After all, these statements are more reasonable and more acceptable. After entering university, in order to better find a support point for his theory in the debate, Chen Zhaoping began to read some philosophical books very systematically. As he deepened his study, he also felt more and more that the theory of "two whatevers" proposed by the central government at that time seemed to violate the basic principles of Marxist philosophy and was a pure idealistic argument.

.So, at the end of March 1978, an unsigned article "Is the Proposition of "Two Anything" scientific?" was sent to Guangming Daily. Suddenly, the entire Guangming Daily became as if it was thrown into a bomb. Everyone knew that the statement "Two Anything" was first proposed by the leaders of the Party and the state at that time. In that era when everything could be exaggerated, doubting and criticizing the leaders of the Party and the state was equivalent to counter-revolution, and the political consequences were very serious. Chen Zhaoping also knew the consequences. Although he dared to send it to the newspaper, he did not dare to sign the article.

Chen Zhaoping's article was quickly transferred to the Ministry of Public Security, which had just been reorganized at that time, and was classified as counter-revolutionary remarks. For this reason, the Ministry of Public Security specially formed a task force to investigate the matter.

The investigation team soon entered Renmin University of China. All teachers and students of the school knew that the Ministry of Public Security came to the school this time to investigate a counter-revolutionary case. Others didn't understand what was going on, but Chen Zhaoping knew that it must be the one of his articles. Now, he was also panicked. *The ten years of lessons told everyone that once they got into these troubles, they might be ruined in their lifetime. Chen Zhaoping didn't know when the task force would come to him, but he knew that this time would not be too long. After all, some of the words he said recently in the school public can be used as proof.

When Chen Zhaoping thought of this, he was afraid. He knew that if he had problems, he would implicate his whole family. Now he didn't know what to do.

After secretly finding an opportunity, Chen Zhaoping hid outside the school and called home. Fortunately, Chen Zhaojun answered the phone. On that day, Chen Weixiong was going to have a meeting and didn't know when he would come back. Zhang Guimei would not come back this night because she was on duty in the hospital.

"Hey, who is it?" Chen Zhaojun was sorting out his collection, and was very impatient that someone called at this time.

When he heard it was Chen Zhaojun, Chen Zhaoping felt relieved. He has always believed in his younger brother very much, and the facts have proved that his younger brother is very visionary.

"Zhao Jun, there is one thing I want to tell you, don't tell your father first?" Chen Zhaoping said carefully. Fortunately, the place where he called was a single phone room at the post office, so he was not afraid of anyone eavesdropping.

When Chen Zhaojun heard his elder brother's words, he knew that he must have had a big trouble. Usually, Chen Zhaoping called Chen Zhaojun the "third brother" and only when he was very nervous would he unconsciously call him "Zhaojun".

"Brother, what's the matter? Tell me!"

"That's right, I wrote an article... Now that the Ministry of Public Security has arrived, I'm afraid that I will find out sooner or later. What should I do?" Chen Zhaoping told the story in great detail, and then asked Chen Zhaojun's opinion.

Now, Chen Zhaojun had a headache. He knew that denying the "two whatevers" was in 1978, but he didn't remember when it happened. However, one thing is certain, that is, it is denied that the "two whatevers" happened after the publication of the article "Practice is the only standard for testing truth". At this time, Chen Zhaoping sorted it out, and maybe even the article "Practice is the only standard for testing truth" was gone. Then Chen Zhaoping was destined to go to jail. Chen Zhaojun knew that Chen Zhaoping in his previous life was because he was ruined when he went to the countryside, and later because of this. He didn't have to go to the countryside in this life, but Chen Zhaojun believed that if Chen Zhaoping was allowed to go to jail for a few days, he would probably have a problem with his liver. He didn't want to lose his elder brother for this. But even if you want to write, can't you write it until the article "Practice is the only standard for testing truth" is released?

"Brother, don't worry. Listen to me, immediately burn the draft of the article you wrote after you go back, but don't touch other things, otherwise others will see that you are deliberately disguising it, and then don't admit it no matter who asks it. You must pay attention to it. In order to investigate this case, the Ministry of Public Security will very likely isolate you. Everyone says you must pay attention to the news. After you find that the whole country is discussing the article "Practice is the only standard for testing truth", you can admit that it is what you wrote." Chen Zhaojun doesn't care too much now, so he will save his brother first.

"What is "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth"? What does this have to do with me?" Chen Zhaoping didn't understand. Of course, no one would understand it if it were.

"Don't worry about this, hurry back to school now, do whatever you usually do, and be careful."...

After putting down the phone, Chen Zhaojun shook his head with a wry smile. He was considering whether he should immediately write the article "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth". But when he thought about it, it seemed that there was no need for this, because within a month, this article would be published in Guangming Daily. Maybe now others have already written it and are revising it...

Soon, Chen Zhaoping was isolated by the Ministry of Public Security, and the case also affected Chen Weixiong's family in the shortest time. Chen Weixiong was suspended for review at the first time, and his home was carefully searched. It turned out that the seven-tube radio made by Chen Zhaoping and Chen Zhaojun made a 5.56mm carbine for the sake of making the medicine and the fun of it became evidence and was taken away by the Ministry of Public Security.
