Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

She is an intellectual who regards criticism as her mission.

So every time I encounter young people who commit crimes like this.

As long as they are not hopeless or have made a serious mistake, they are willing to give them a chance. As for whether they can seize the opportunity given by Wei Hongjun, that is their own choice.

"This is just my suggestion, you can use it as a reference."

"it is good."

After talking about Cao Zhixiong and Lin Xiling, everyone fell silent.

Because the next cadre involved was Hu Guoguang.

This was a member of the Central Committee and the First Secretary of the Communist Youth League Central Committee. Although there were members of the Politburo Standing Committee, members of the Politburo, and alternate members of the Politburo present, caution was still required in dealing with Hu Guoguang.

It has only been about a month since the Ninth National Congress.

But there had to be an explanation regarding Hu Guoguang's situation. As the Party Central Committee's daily work organ, the Secretariat had to come up with a stance. Wei Hongjun was, after all, the First Secretary of the Secretariat and the chairperson of the meeting. So, he said to Chen Tanqiu, "Comrade Chen Tanqiu, Comrade Hu Guoguang bears a certain degree of leadership responsibility for this incident. From the Organization Department's perspective, should he be removed from his position as First Secretary of the Communist Youth League Central Committee?"

1011 Petition Bureau

“It should be adjusted.”

Chen Tanqiu said, "After all, this incident directly involves his secretary. Renmin University of China has already criticized and punished Lin Xiling again. Shouldn't the Communist Youth League Central Committee make a statement at this time? After all, Comrade Hu Guoguang previously criticized Renmin University of China. If the Communist Youth League Central Committee doesn't change, how will the youth work at the subordinate universities continue? Their work will become difficult, and it will lead to a standoff between these universities and the Communist Youth League Central Committee."

Hu Guoguang is in trouble this time.

He had previously publicly supported Lin Xiling, but later his secretary revealed the issue of "leakage".

The Communist Youth League Central Committee is responsible for youth work. If Hu Guoguang remains at the Central Committee, how will the broader League organizations at the bottom react? Is Lin Xiling right or wrong? If Lin Xiling is right, why did Renmin University of China discipline her? If Lin Xiling is wrong, why does Hu Guoguang, who supported her, continue to serve as First Secretary of the Central Committee? This will lead to some ideological confusion.

Although Hu Guoguang initially supported Lin Xiling, he did not support her spreading the "secret report", but supported her behavior of public criticism.

But no one cares so much.

Some even believe that he was "shielding" Lin Xiling because his secretary was dating her. If this "rumor" were to spread, and Hu Guoguang remained the First Secretary of the League Central Committee, how would the League Central Committee carry out its work in the future? People would no longer trust the League Central Committee.

The Communist Youth League is a combat-ready group.

The Party has always attached great importance to the development of the Communist Youth League. During the revolutionary era, countless Communist Youth League members sacrificed their lives for the revolution. We cannot allow the work of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League to become passive because of Hu Guoguang.

"I also believe that Comrade Hu Guoguang should at least bear leadership responsibility for this matter."

Zhao Zhensheng also agreed with Chen Tanqiu's statement.

After such a major incident, it's strange that you're still sitting in the position of First Secretary of the League Central Committee. And it's not like they're going to punish him within the Party or the organization. They're just going to remove Hu Guoguang from his position at the League Central Committee.

"I agree too."

Tan Zhenlin nodded.

This incident must set an example.

The others nodded in support of Hu Guoguang's decision. Seeing many in agreement, Wei Hongjun said, "Now, raise your hands if you support removing Comrade Hu Guoguang from his position as First Secretary of the Communist Youth League Central Committee."

Wei Hongjun took a look at everyone's situation.

"Comrades who disagree, please raise your hands."

"it is good."

Wei Hongjun nodded and said, "Approve the proposal to remove Comrade Hu Guoguang from his position as First Secretary of the Communist Youth League Central Committee."

The majority of the Secretariat agreed to remove Comrade Hu Guoguang from his position as Secretary of the League Central Committee. Historically, Lin Xiling's case was much more serious than the current one, but in the end, only Hu Guoguang's secretary was punished, and Hu Guoguang himself only made a self-criticism.

why?

Because so many people were being dealt with during the Anti-Rightist Movement. While Lin Xiling's case was serious, compared to those of the leaders of the democratic parties, it wasn't as severe as one might imagine. Precisely because there were so many "big rightists" at the time, and because many Party leaders were implicated in Lin Xiling's case—Wu Yuzhang, Xie Juezai, and Hu Guoguang—the central government ultimately decided to deal with specific, smaller cadres, rather than the larger Party officials.

But this time and space is different.

The democratic parties didn't make a large-scale move, and just as they were about to do something, they were silenced. Then, Lin Xiling suddenly emerged. Everyone was paying attention to this matter. Hu Guoguang immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The Secretariat approved the proposal to remove Hu Guoguang from his position as First Secretary of the Communist Youth League Central Committee, but this still needed approval from the Politburo.

After all, the Ninth National Congress had just concluded, and making personnel adjustments so soon was not a good idea. So Wei Hongjun said, "Comrade Chen Tanqiu, Comrade Tan Zhenlin, the two of you will accompany me to report to the Chairman."

This is a big deal.

The Chairman must be informed as soon as possible.

The Secretariat reported its work, and the Chairman's Secretary's Office immediately notified the Chairman. Wei Hongjun, Chen Tanqiu, and Tan Zhenlin soon met with the Chairman. Wei Hongjun reported Lin Xiling's case in detail to the Chairman.

As well as the Secretariat's opinions on how to deal with Hu Guoguang, Cao Zhixiong, and Lin Xiling.

Tan Zhenlin and Chen Tanqiu gave their ideas on how to deal with this matter based on the perspectives of the Organization Department and the Central Supervisory Committee.

After listening to this, the chairman did not immediately express his opinion.

Instead, after thinking for a while, he said, "Regarding Lin Xiling, I agree with Comrade Hongjun. She's talented, writes well, and has a wealth of theoretical knowledge in both politics and law. Her only shortcoming is that she's a bit of a lone confidant and doesn't have a good understanding of China's current situation, so many of her suggestions are unrealistic. Her ideas are good, but her approach needs to be considered. Comrade Hongjun."

"President."

"Take some time to meet her in person. Her articles tell you she's a very ambitious girl. We're not afraid of a child, but if we can get her involved in the great cause of socialist development, she might become a talented person in the future. Young people should be allowed to make mistakes; if they correct them, they're good comrades."

"Yes."

The Chairman still loves Lin Xiling very much.

She's only in her twenties, yet already possesses such talent. The Chairman doesn't want to dismiss such a talented young person outright. However, this girl has strong propaganda and agitation skills. If left unchecked, who knows what might happen.

So we still have to put a tight ring around her neck.

After speaking about Lin Xiling, the Chairman gently tapped Cao Zhixiong's name and said, "This young man has a weak sense of confidentiality and lacks revolutionary vigilance. He needs to be properly trained. Expel him from the Party, but don't label him a 'counter-revolutionary.' Also, let him go to the grassroots level for training."

As the Chairman spoke, he wrote his opinions on the Secretariat's report.

Finally, when it came to Hu Guoguang, the Chairman hesitated. After all, Hu Guoguang was a young cadre whom the Chairman had great confidence in, and he considered him a cadre in reserve for the future of the Central Committee. But this time, his secretary had exposed such a big thing.

Moreover, he had publicly supported Lin Xiling before.

It has to be dealt with.

After a moment, the Chairman asked, "Where is Comrade Feng Wenbin now?"

"He's the director of the Shanghai Industrial Committee."

Chen Tanqiu replied.

"The situation happened so suddenly that we can't find a suitable cadre to serve as the First Secretary of the Communist Youth League Central Committee. My suggestion is to transfer Comrade Feng Wenbin to the Central Committee to replace Comrade Hu Guoguang as the First Secretary of the Communist Youth League Central Committee. What do you think?"

"I agree."

"agree."

Wei Hongjun and Chen Tanqiu both nodded.

The incident happened suddenly, and the Communist Youth League Central Committee is indeed in need of stability. Feng Wenbin was the first political commissar of the Young Communist League's International Division and the first secretary of the Central Committee of the New Democratic Youth League before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Later he was transferred to Tianjin and Shanghai to be in charge of industry.

When it comes to those who can be urgently mobilized to be in charge of the work of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, the first person the Chairman thinks of is Feng Wenbin.

"That's my opinion."

After the Chairman wrote his opinion on the Secretariat's report, he said, "Zilong, give this report to Comrade Xiuyang, Comrade Wu Hao, Comrade Chen Yun, Comrade Rong Zhen, Comrade Xixian, and others. If everyone agrees, then it's settled."

The Secretariat reports the general situation and the Chairman approves it.

But now the appointment and removal of the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League must be approved by other members of the Politburo Standing Committee.

"Yes."

Ye Zilong immediately left with the report.

The Chairman turned and said, "Comrade Hongjun, please stay. I have something to discuss with you."

The Chairman left Wei Hongjun behind, while Chen Tanqiu and Tan Zhenlin left the Chairman's place. The Chairman gave Wei Hongjun a cigarette and said, "What, you quit?"

"Not as much as during the war."

"Smoking less is a good thing. Comrade Jiaying told me everything that happened in the General Office. If you want to blame us, you should blame Comrade Ren Peiguo. He had so much work to do, but he went to see Marx first."

Tian Jiaying reported to the Chairman on the issues in the General Office.

The chairman roughly understood what was going on.

Wei Hongjun didn't respond. The Chairman had placed great trust in Comrade Ren Peiguo, entrusting him with all the work of the Party Central Committee and never interfering in his work.

"The problems with the General Office of the Central Committee are historical, and I have a general understanding of what went on there. Be bold in carrying out the rectification, and I'll have Comrades Yang Shangkun and Tian Jiaying fully cooperate with you. Many young people these days haven't experienced hardship or practical work experience. They're becoming overly ambitious and increasingly disconnected from the masses, which is not a good thing."

"Chairman, I will discuss a rectification plan with Comrade Yang Shangkun and Comrade Tian Jiaying."

"Ah."

The Chairman did not ask any further questions about the rectification of the General Office.

The Chairman was more concerned with another question and asked, "I heard from Comrade Jiaying that you are interested in petition work?"

This is the big thing that the Chairman is concerned about.

Wei Hongjun said, "Yes. I think the central government seems to attach importance to petition work, but it doesn't really take it seriously. Nor does it fully understand its importance. As a result, petition work has become dispensable. After I took over the Secretariat, the first thing I wanted to rectify was petition work. I hope to take petition work seriously."

"Please tell me specifically."

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Chairman has attached great importance to petition work.

However, the Chairman had not yet found a suitable cadre, or perhaps the Chairman himself had no concrete ideas about petition work. When discussing petition issues with other cadres, everyone said petition work was important and needed to be strengthened. But that was all.

No one has a plan for how to specifically handle petition work, or why it's so important. It's fair to say that everyone just pays lip service to the importance of petition work, but in reality, no one really takes it seriously.

Therefore, currently, petition work is solely handled by the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council. As for the Chairman's desire to make petition work a channel for communication between the upper and lower levels and a practice of the mass line, there is no clue as to how this can be achieved.

Now that Wei Hongjun attached so much importance to petition work, the Chairman immediately became interested.

Chairman Mao and Wei Hongjun have worked together for a long time, so he is very familiar with Wei Hongjun's working style. If Wei Hongjun didn't have any ideas in mind, he wouldn't say he wanted to rectify the petition work.

Wei Hongjun said, "Last year, Comrade Deng Zhihui and I discussed the development of industry and commerce in rural areas. Some districts and counties fully support rural cooperatives in developing industry and commerce, personally helping them with all the necessary procedures for opening factories. However, some districts and counties are not interested. As a result, some rural cooperatives want to set up businesses, but they are completely clueless about the procedures and run into obstacles at every turn. They don't know which county departments to contact to get approval for factory registration documents."

“Inaction is also a form of dereliction of duty.”

The Chairman interrupted.

There are many people in grassroots government units who are negligent in their work.

Take the development of rural industry and commerce, for example. This was a project personally spearheaded by Wei Hongjun. Yet, at the local level, some grassroots units still don't take the central government's directives seriously. County and district officials think that industry and commerce are urban affairs. When will it be the turn of rural areas to develop industry and commerce? Rural areas should just focus on farming; why bother with industrial and commercial development?

So not very positive about these.
