Xie Fuzhi was the founding general of New China. During the War of Liberation, Chen Geng and Chen Xie's corps led by Xie Fuzhi implemented the Central Plains combat plan, which was called " West Henan Qianniu ". During this battle, Chen Xie's corps shined and strongly cooperated with the combat operations of Liu and Deng's army leaping into the Dabie Mountains and the East China Field Army.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xie Fuzhi was not only awarded the title of general, but also served as Minister of Public Security for a long time. However, he made extremely serious mistakes in a special period of ten years and was eventually expelled from the Party.
Today we are going to talk about Xie Fuzhi's wife, named Liu Xiangping.
In terms of qualifications, Liu Xiangping can definitely be said to be an old revolutionary. was born in 1920 and embarked on the road of revolution at the age of 11, participating in the Red Army , determined to fight to liberation the whole of China. At the age of 14, Liu Xiangping followed the Red Army to participate in the Long March .
Although Liu Xiangping is old enough in terms of qualifications, she has a serious shortcoming, which is that her cultural level is not high. For this reason, after arrived in northern Shaanxi, Liu Xiangping entered the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University to study. It was in Anti-Da that Liu Xiangping met Xie Fuzhi, his other half in his life. The two got married and became husband and wife.
However, wars continued during the revolutionary period, and Liu Xiangping and her husband Xie Fuzhi were also far apart. In 1939, Liu Xiangping, who was only 18 years old, was appointed as the county magistrate of Gaoping County, Shanxi, and was responsible for leading the people of Gaoping County to do a good job in supporting the front and resisting Japan's invasion of China.
During this period, Liu Xiangping was injured many times while fighting against Japan in the Taihang area of , and was burned by the Japanese mustard seed gas , and two-thirds of the skin fell off. In response to this, Liu Xiangping survived with his tenacious will. Objectively speaking, Liu Xiangping did make major sacrifices during the revolutionary war, and we cannot forget this.
After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Liu Xiangping was able to reunite with her husband and stayed with her husband, from Taiyue to western Henan, from East Sichuan to Yunnan.
After the founding of New China, Liu Xiangping followed her husband Xie Fuzhi to work in Yunnan. became the deputy secretary of the Kunming Municipal Party Committee of Yunnan Province in 1954, and was renamed the secretary of the Kunming Municipal Party Committee Secretariat two years later.
In 1959, Liu Xiangping followed her husband Xie Fuzhi back to Beijing, and served as director of the Planning and Finance Department of the Ministry of Agricultural Machinery and director of the Comprehensive Bureau of the 8th Ministry of Machinery.
Unexpectedly, after the special period of ten years began, Liu Xiangping, who was the "old revolutionary", defected to counter-revolutionary groups such as Lin Biao and Jiang Qing, and created a series of unjust, false and wrong cases, especially Liu Xiangping's husband Xie Fuzhi. As the Minister of Public Security, he put forward the slogan of "smashing the public security, procuratorial and courts" and cruelly persecuted some old revolutionary cadres, such as Tan Zhenlin, Chen Yi , Ye Jianying, Xu Xiangqian and other founding fathers, who were all persecuted by Liu Xiangping and his wife.
While persecuting old revolutionary cadres, Liu Xiangping and his wife's status rose. Liu Xiangping's husband Xie Fuzhi also serves as the Minister of Public Security, Director of the Beijing Municipal Revolutionary Committee, Political Commissar of the Beijing Military Region, Vice Premier of the State Council and other important positions.
More importantly, Xie Fuzhi was also pulled into the "Central Cultural Revolution Meeting". This "College Meeting" actually presided over the daily work of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Xie Fuzhi was one of the few non-members of the Cultural Revolution group and entered the "College Meeting", which shows that Xie Fuzhi's status was already very high at that time.
Liu Xiangping himself was also appointed as Minister of Health in 1973 and was also elected as a member of the Central Committee at the "Top Ten".
In October 1976, the "Gang of Four" was successfully crushed by the Party Central Committee. Liu Xiangping and his wife, who were a party member of the "Gang of Four", naturally could not escape the legal sanctions. Although Xie Fuzhi died in 1972, he was still expelled from the Party and his ashes were removed from Babaoshan.
For Liu Xiangping himself, he made serious mistakes and was isolated and investigated because he did many bad things during the special period of ten years.
In 1985, Liu Xiangping was expelled from the party. In her later years, she mainly lived in Beijing and lived an ordinary life. In 2017, Liu Xiangping died of illness at the age of 97.
Objectively speaking, Liu Xiangping made significant contributions and made significant sacrifices during the revolutionary war period. However, in the special period of ten years, in the face of power, Liu Xiangping gradually lost himself, moved towards the opposite side of the Party and the people, and made serious mistakes. Her story is worthy of people's deep thought and brings us a warning effect.
