Wang Hongwen is one of the members of the "Gang of Four". Before the beginning of the 10-year special period, he was just an ordinary worker at the 17th National Cotton Factory in Shanghai. However, Wang Hongwen was good at eloquence and had served in the military, so he was relatively popular among the workers. Inciting power. In 1966, after the Ten Years of Special Period began, Wang Hongwen took the lead in the rebellion in the factory and went to Beijing to join forces. After returning to Shanghai, he established the "General Department of Industry and Commerce" and successively planned the Anting Incident and the Liberation Daily Incident. In the end, In 1967, he launched the "January Storm" and successfully seized power from the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee.

Along with Wang Hongwen's seizure of power, several capable generals appeared around him. Among them, Chen Ada, Huang Jinhai, Dai Liqing, Ye Changming and Ma Zhenlong were collectively called Wang Hongwen's "Five Tiger Generals". They were active on the stage of rebellion. Many cadres were persecuted in that era. The person we are going to talk about today is one of Wang Hongwen's "Five Tiger Generals". His name is Ma Zhenlong. So, what is the story about Ma Zhenlong?

Ma Zhenlong was born in 1940 in Taixing County, Jiangsu Province. After the founding of New China, Ma Zhenlong entered the Shanghai Enamel Machine Repair Factory and became an ordinary worker. If there were no subsequent ten years During the Special Period, Ma Zhenlong would most likely retire as a worker and live an ordinary life in his later years. However, after the ten-year Special Period began, Ma Zhenlong embarked on the road of rebellion and seizing power. Not only did he become one of Wang Hongwen's "Five Tiger Generals", Moreover, many cadres were persecuted.

In 1966, after Wang Hongwen returned to Shanghai from Beijing, he began to contact the rebels in various factories in Shanghai. On November 3, they held a so-called experience exchange meeting at Yuyuan Road . Shortly after the meeting, "The General Administration of Industry and Commerce " was established, and Ma Zhenlong was also appreciated by Wang Hongwen in a series of "rebellious" actions, and became a capable general of the "Directorate of Industry."

Ma Zhenlong also sincerely admired Wang Hongwen. In a series of fighting operations planned by the "General Department of Industry," Ma Zhenlong was also a member of the charge. Under Wang Hongwen's command, he was active in the "fighting" positions in Shanghai and won Wang Hongwen's trust. Ma Zhenlong therefore became one of Wang Hongwen's "Five Tiger Generals".

Under the guidance of Wang Hongwen, Ma Zhenlong also began his career as an official. After the establishment of the Shanghai Revolutionary Committee, Ma Zhenlong served as a member of the Shanghai Revolutionary Committee. At the same time, he also served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions and deputy secretary of the Shanghai Light Industry Bureau Committee. During that period, Ma Zhenlong also assisted Wang Hongwen in doing many bad things and persecuted many cadres.

For example, during the "January Storm" movement, Ma Zhenlong assisted Wang Hongwen in persecuting Chen Pixian, then Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, and Cao Diqiu, then Mayor of Shanghai, causing them to be imprisoned, especially Cao Diqiu, who was even persecuted by them lethal. In addition, Ma Zhenlong assisted Wang Hongwen in causing the Kangping Road Incident, which set off the beginning of a large-scale armed struggle across the country, and countless innocent people were persecuted.

In 1976, after smashing the "Gang of Four", the central government sent a working group to Shanghai to prepare to continue smashing the Shanghai remnants of the "Gang of Four". At that time, Ma Zhenlong still wanted to resist stubbornly. He even planned a conspiracy in the Light Industry Bureau and withheld the guns and ammunition produced by the light industry system for the troops in preparation for a stubborn resistance. However, the working group headed by Su Zhenhua launched a thunderous attack and adopted the strategy of catching the thief first, successfully smashing the conspiracy of the remaining Shanghai party members of the "Gang of Four".

After smashing the remaining members of the "Gang of Four" in Shanghai, Ma Zhenlong was also isolated and examined. In 1982, the Shanghai Intermediate People's Court tried Ma Zhenlong. However, Ma Zhenlong was extremely arrogant in court and refused to plead guilty. For this reason, Ma Zhenlong was sentenced to He was severely sentenced and sentenced to and 16 years in prison. This is also the reason why Ma Zhenlong’s position in the Shanghai remnants of the “Gang of Four” is not high, but his sentence is relatively heavy.
