After the founding of New China, Lu Dingyi was responsible for the work of in , and served as Minister of Publicity of the Central Committee. In 1959, he was promoted to Vice Premier and became a vice-state-level cadre of New China. However, after the beginning of the special period of ten years, Lu Dingyi was persecuted and imprisoned, and was not rehabilitated until 1979.
The person we are going to talk about today has a great relationship with Lu Dingyi. Her name is Yan Weibing , and she is Lu Dingyi's wife. However, what is unexpected is that Yan Weibing wrote anonymous letters for six consecutive years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and was detained after the incident was exposed. So, what stories do Yan Weibing have? How was her ending?
Yan Weibing was born in 1918 in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province. She was born in a wealthy family. She has read history books since she was a child. When she grew up, she was admitted to the Department of Chinese Literature at National Central University and became one of the few senior intellectuals in that era. In 1938, the second year after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Yan Weibing arrived at the revolutionary holy land of Yan'an and entered the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University there to study. It was also this year that Yan Weibing officially joined our party.
After graduating from the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, Yan Weibing was assigned to "Chinese Women" as a special correspondent. Since then, she has been engaged in propaganda for a long time. In 1941, she met her husband Lu Dingyi through Chen Yun's introduction. The two also got married in this year. After that, the couple experienced the Anti-Japanese War and the Liberation War together, ushering in the founding of New China.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lu Ding held important positions and successively served as Minister of the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee and Vice Premier of the State Council. He is a vice-state-level cadre of New China. Yan Weibing also joined the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee and served as Deputy Director of the Education Department of the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee. Objectively speaking, Yan Weibing is a relatively knowledgeable person, especially proficient in history of the Tang Dynasty. Chairman Mao once asked a question at a meeting. He asked Wang Bo how old was when he created " Tengwang Pavilion Preface "? No one present could answer. After Lu Dingyi returned home, he told Yan Weibing. Yan Weibing accurately gave the answer to this question. After learning about it, Chairman Mao said to Lu Dingyi: "If your wife was in ancient times, she would definitely be the top female scholar."
However, it was this person who was called the "female top scholar" who did something incredible. From 1960 to 1966, Yan Weibing wrote anonymous letters for six consecutive years, saying that the child Ye Qun was not Lin Biao's. There are several statements about Yan Weibing's false accusation of Ye Qun. Some people say that she couldn't stand Ye Qun during her time in Yan'an, and some people say that she couldn't stand it after learning that Ye Qun was abused by Lin Xiaolin and took the initiative to frame Ye Qun.
No matter what the reason is, Yan Weibing did write anonymous letters for 6 consecutive years. The public security department was at a loss until Yan Weibing himself was exposed in 1966. The reason why Yan Weibing was exposed was related to Ye Qun. It is said that Yan Weibing was shopping in the mall at that time and stepped on Ye Qun and the two had an argument. After that, Yan Weibing was so angry that she went to the General Political Department of the Military Commission to sue Ye Qun and wrote a document. It happened that this document exposed her handwriting, and the anonymous letter incident was revealed.
1966 On April 28, 1966, Yan Weibing was detained at the No. 1 Detention Center of Lingjing Hutong. In 1967, she was transferred to Qincheng Prison and continued to be detained. It is said that when the case was exposed, Premier Zhou specifically asked Yan Weibing's husband Lu Dingyi, asking him if he knew about Yan Weibing's anonymous letter? Lu Dingyi did not answer directly, but said that Yan Weibing had a problem with his spirit. The Prime Minister asked again, but Lu Dingyi said he didn't know. I don’t know what method Yan Weibing used, but actually wrote an anonymous letter without telling her husband for six years, which was incredible.
1978, after , the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, Yan Weibing was rehabilitated and his freedom was restored. After that, she was transferred to the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Literature and History Materials Committee to engage in research on literature and history. She died of illness in 1986 at the age of 68.
