Welcome to read the 3285th issue of Shiyuan History Column. In the 1980s, both the official and the people gradually had positive voices on the evaluation of the founding marshal Lin. You should know that after the "September 13", the entire army was criticizing relevant personnel, and the standard standards of the top ten marshals even removed General Lin. Some materials put up photos of Premier Zhou and tried their best to avoid some characters. However, in the 1980s, this situation changed a lot, and Lin Shuai's photos and introductions returned to various materials. In this process, four military heroes played an important role, let’s learn about it.
The first is Vice Chairman Chen Yun. In 1983, Chen Yun asked Chen Yun to write an inscription on the cover for the book "The Decisive Battle of Liao and Shen". As a witness of the Northeast Liberation War, he was very familiar with that history, but after reading the manuscript, he put forward a few more opinions, mainly focusing on Lin Shuai. Chen Yun told the editor: Don’t deliberately avoid some things in , because some people cannot avoid them. We cannot deny military achievements just because he made mistakes after the founding of the People's Republic of China. His contribution to the Northeast battlefield should still be recognized.
Although what Chen Yun said was only about the performance in a strategic decisive battle, was already quite difficult to make a positive evaluation of the person "101" in that era. It can be said that Chen Yun set a precedent. After that, senior cadres in the party and military mentioned that General Lin no longer avoided the situation as before.
The second place is General Huang Kecheng. When Huang Kecheng reviewed the manuscript of " Chinese Encyclopedia " in 1984, he found that there was a chapter in it introducing Lin Shuai. However, compared with the detailed historical materials of other characters in the book, Lin Shuai's page is very abrupt: has only a black and white photo on the whole page, and the following describes his posts during several war periods, without saying a word. Huang Kecheng frowned and found the editors to provide some education.
" Fight is merit, and fault is merit. Our generation needs to be responsible for the next generation . Not mentioning him now is not the correct attitude of recording history. Evaluation Lin should be divided into two, and the merits and demerits are clear. Please take it back and modify it!" Huang Kecheng's opinion is very representative, and later "clear merits and demerits are clear" gradually became the mainstream voice.
The third place is Yang Shangkun. In the late 1980s, the huge movie "The Great Decisive Battle" filmed by a large number of People's Liberation Army commanders and fighters was the first one. The directors are in a very difficult situation, and they also involve sensitive figures. In the early stages of filming, the director proposed to only film other cadres and generals, and omitted the plot of "101". , even some propaganda posters, highlighted the image of Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan, without mentioning Mr. Lin at all.
Yang Shangkun felt that it was very exciting overall, but he also raised a point that he was not satisfied with: Liaoshen Battle, if you don’t shoot him, who was in charge of this battle? It’s better to restore history truly. With Yang Shangkun's words, the directors had no taboos. Later, the role of "101" starring Ma Shaoxin in was very outstanding and was one of the highlights of the movie "The Great Decisive Battle".
The fourth place is General Xiao Ke. He once cooperated with Lin Shuai at the Fourth Field Army Headquarters. After the victory of the Pingjin Battle of in 1949, Xiao Ke was transferred to the Fourth Field Army, , and replaced Liu Yalou as the Chief of Staff of in . He and General Lin commanded the Fourth Field Army to move south. During his time assisting Lin Shuai, he was deeply impressed by the command attainments of "101". In his later years, Xiao Ke did not avoid taboos. commented that "Lin could listen to the correct opinions of his subordinates and had a lot of military ideas. In the past, he had great military achievements and should look at this character clearly."
. Now, no one has avoided Lin Shuai's record in the Red Army during the War of Resistance and Liberation, including the mistakes he made after the founding of the People's Republic of China. You can see more detailed materials. is as the saying goes, "One is divided into two, seek truth from facts." should be said that this is mainly attributed to the progress in ideological understanding in the 1980s.Several old revolutionaries have a great influence and are responsible for history, which is something that future generations should thank.
