In October 1941, after a working meeting of the Central Secretariat, Wang Ming announced his illness and was admitted to the hospital in order to escape the rectification movement. On the other hand, he contacted Kang Sheng privately and asked to meet Chairman Mao.
Why did Wang Ming claim to be sick? Why did Chairman Mao let Jiang Qing go?
At the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Wang Jiaxiang conveyed instructions from the Communist International and Stalin, asking Wang Ming to step aside and stop fighting for power with Mao Zedong.
After the meeting, Wang Ming became the minister of the United Front Work Department of the Central Committee. However, Wang Ming, who had been at the center of central power, was not satisfied with the result.
As early as 1940, Wang Ming began to vigorously advocate "left dogmatism" and introduced a series of books in an attempt to influence new party members and expand his own power.
At the enlarged meeting of the Politburo, many comrades who had made "left-leaning" or "right-leaning" mistakes took the initiative to come to the stage to review their mistakes. However, Wang Ming never felt that he had made any mistakes and refused to make any review. He firmly stated that he wanted to be a commentator.
Chairman Mao did not indulge him. He sharply pointed out that in the past four years, Wang Ming had been wearing the cloak of Marxism, taking the wrong line of "left deviation" and misleading the revolutionary ranks.
After the meeting, Chairman Mao also sought out Wang Ming in private and had a long conversation with him all night long. However, no matter how much effort the Chairman spent, Wang Ming remained stubborn.
At the Central Secretariat work meeting a few days later, Wang Ming made a scene, vowing to argue with the Central Committee to the end and to file a complaint with the Communist International. With these harsh words, Wang Ming left angrily.
In order to escape the rectification movement, Wang Ming claimed to be ill and was admitted to the hospital. Kang Sheng went to the hospital to visit Wang Ming. At this time, Wang Ming realized his problem and wanted to talk to Chairman Mao again through Kang Sheng.
When Chairman Mao found out, he didn't say much. He just called Jiang Qing to his side and said, "Go and see him for me. If he has any requirements in life, try to meet them as much as possible." You must never give in on matters of principle. If he makes a mistake, just give him a few hard blows."
A few days later, Jiang Qing came to visit Wang Ming. Wang Ming said with a playful smile: "Old Mao's health is not good. Thanks to you taking care of me, we feel relieved when you are here. "
Jiang Qing smiled and put down the cruel words: "The chairman's health is not good because there are always people causing trouble for him. Now no one is making trouble, his spirit is much better. The chairman is eager to unite everyone who cooperates with him to work together. ”
Hearing these words, Wang Ming blushed with shame.
Jiang Qing continued: "Chairman appreciates your talent and ability very much. Comrades also hope that there will be a scene of great unity after this rectification movement. I think as long as we can distinguish right from wrong, we can move forward together on the right basis." "Enter, what do you think?"
Wang Ming jumped up from the bed and said solemnly: "I have always respected Comrade Mao Zedong, whether in the past or in the future, but how can I look forward if I keep turning over old scores?"
Jiang Qing sneered and said: "Rectification is not about settling old scores or targeting anyone, but about learning from wrong experiences and sorting out the correct route. Those who cannot learn lessons and summarize experiences will never become true revolutionaries. "
Jiang Qing's words touched Wang Ming very much. Chairman Mao sent Jiang Qing to teach Wang Ming, and let Wang Ming see how ridiculous it was that even Jiang Qing's consciousness was so high and that he, an old comrade, still made such ideological mistakes.
