The "Great Leap Forward" movement is a serious setback for the Party in exploring the road to building socialism. "It was the urgent wish of the whole party and the people of the whole country to do their best to make the construction faster and to gain more initiative at that time. However, because the Party lacked experience in large-scale socialist construction, it deviated from the principle of seeking truth from facts that the Party has always advocated, and did things based on subjective wishes and will, and the result was contrary to its wishes." ("A Brief History of the Communist Party of China" People's Publishing House February 2021 Pages 193-194)
Looking back on this history, we can find that the situation at that time was indeed as Deng Xiaoping pointed out in 1980: "The Great Leap Forward, Comrade Mao Zedong was hot-headed, don't we get hot?" However, since the 1980s, media reported that during the "Great Leap Forward", there was a celebrity, Li Da, who served as the president of Wuhan University, not only did not have a hot-headed mind, but also criticized Mao Zedong in front of Mao Zedong: "You have a hot-headed mind."
The author has successively reviewed the "Chronology of Mao Zedong (1949-1976)" (hereinafter referred to as "Chronology"), the "Biography of Mao Zedong" and "Chronology of Li Da" published by of the Central Documents Publishing House (Zhou Ke, Wang Xinyan, People's Publishing House January 2016), "Complete Works of Li Da" (editor Wang Xinyan, People's Publishing House December 2016) and the articles in "Spring and Autumn" and "Xinhua Digest" related to this matter, and found that Li Da was actually in the "Great Leap Forward" movement and had never calmed down. Therefore, it is impossible for him to say to Mao Zedong: "You have a fever."
Two articles dispute
2021 is the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. The media has published a large number of commemorative articles. Among them, there is a particularly eye-catching article published by Xinhua News Agency : "A mysterious letter that attracted netizens to praise the "most awesome company" for "honorable store celebration". The article reads: "Li Da, named Heming , is the representative of of the First Congress of the Communist Party of China. Later, due to various reasons, he left the Communist Party of China, but he still firmly believed in communism in his thoughts. During his teaching in college, Li Da always taught Marxist philosophy. , and published works such as "Social Outline". As the team led by the Communist Party gradually won victory, in November 1948, as the supreme leader of the party, Mao Zedong sent someone to lead a letter to Li Da, who taught at Hunan University, asking him to go to the liberated area to participate in important work quickly. Because the sender had to pass through the enemy-occupied area, the letter specially used a 'code language'. "Li Da is also an old friend of Mao Zedong, and Mao Zedong praised Li Da's philosophical research works very high. After liberation, Li Da first served as the president of Hunan University and began to serve as the president of Wuhan University in 1953. He has been engaged in higher education and theoretical work for 17 years, mainly engaged in the research and publicity of Marxist philosophy, especially Mao Zedong's philosophical thoughts.
◆Li Da
Some articles have appeared in books and newspapers about the relationship between Mao Zedong and Li Da after liberation. There is a classic scene: During the Great Leap Forward in 1958, Li Da had a fierce debate with Mao Zedong over the slogan "How bold the people are and how productive the land is." Li Da said to Mao Zedong: "If you have a fever in your brain, you will have a high fever of 39 degrees, and you will have a fever of 40 degrees, 41 degrees, and 42 degrees below. In this way, the Chinese people will suffer from major disasters!"
This "historical material" comes from Mei Bai, who served as the deputy secretary-general of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee, who was published in the Spring and Autumn Period in 1988 in the article "Mao Zedong's Several Tours to Hubei" in the magazine "Several Tours to Mao Zedong" was published. This article tells the story of Mao Zedong's trip to Wuhan in 1956 and Mao Zedong's two trips to Wuhan in 1958. A year after Mei Wen's publication, Wang Renzhong, who served as the first secretary of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee from 1954 to 1966, was the vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, published "A Full of Lies - Commentary on Mei Bai's "Several Tours to Mao Zedong to Hubei"" in the Spring and Autumn Period magazine (Mei Wen and Wang Wen were reprinted in "Xinhua Digest" No. 5, 1988 and No. 6, 1989 respectively). Wang Wen began to write that when he saw Mei Wen, "I was shocked. I didn't expect Mei Bai to do such a lie and deceitful thing.What is his motivation? I don't want to comment. If he has the courage, he will explain it himself. "(Xinhua Digest, 1989, No. 6, page 174) Then, Wang Wen talked about Mao Zedong's three trips to Wuhan that he had personally experienced, and completely refuted Mei Wen's statement. Mei Bai did not respond to Wang Renzhong's criticism until his death in 1992. Wang Renzhong also died in 1992. But strangely, Wang Wen has basically been mentioned since his publication, and has only been cited in articles by individual party history scholars. The content of Mei Wen's argument about Li Da and Mao Zedong in 1958 has been cited by many articles, and it is easy to search online now.
Two narratives of Mei Wen and Wang Wen, because the content is very different, one of them must be fake. Now it can be compared with the "Mao Zedong's Year of the Year" published in 2013 1949-1976》Compare it for the purpose of identifying it.
《Chronological Biography》: "On May 31, 1956, at 7:20 am, I arrived in Wuhan by a special plane from Changsha. At 8:40 am, a report on the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge was heard on the Yangtze River ship. Luo Ruiqing, Yang Shangkun, Wang Renzhong, Zhang Tixue, Song Kanfu, Chen Zaidao, Li Da and others participated. Afterwards, Mao Zedong went into the water to swim from the north of Snake Mountain to the near Danshui Pool in Hankou , which lasted about fifteen kilometers and took two hours. This is the first time Mao Zedong crossed the Yangtze River. On the morning of June 1, I listened to reports on the situation of Wuhan Yuhua Spinning Mill and Liuduqiao Department Store at my residence in Hankou and Luo Ruiqing, Yang Shangkun, Wang Renzhong and others. Then we visited the National Cotton Factory No. 1. In the evening, several democrats were invited to have a meal together. On the morning of June 2, I listened to reports on the production preparations of the heavy machine tool factory at my residence in Hankou and Luo Ruiqing, Yang Shangkun, Wang Renzhong and others. In the afternoon, I visited the Yangtze River for the second time and went into the Hanyang shore, 1,500 meters above the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, passed between the bridge piers No. 1 and No. 2, and swam to , Xujiapeng, and went ashore north of , about fifteen kilometers. He said to Wang Renzhong, who accompanied him to swim: What a good swimming place. People should be called to swim in the rivers, which can exercise people's will. Some people are afraid of big things. Isn’t the United States very big? We touched it once (referring to the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea - Editor's Note), and it was nothing special. On the morning of June 3, the Wuhan Iron and Steel Plant construction report was heard at the Wuchang East Lake Guest House, Luo Ruiqing, Yang Shangkun, Wang Renzhong and others. At 3:30 pm, I swam the Yangtze River again for an hour. At 5:30, visit the Hubei Provincial Industrial Exhibition. In the evening, I watched Chu Opera in the Hubei Provincial Government Auditorium. On the afternoon of June 4, I took a special plane back to Beijing. ” (Volume 2 of the Year Biography, page 582)
Mei Wen: “In 1956, the first thing Mao Zedong did to Wuhan was to hold a symposium. The central topic is to summarize the experience of agricultural cooperation. ” (Spring and Autumn Annals, 1988, Issue 1, Page 7)
Wang Wen: “On May 31, 1956, Chairman Mao arrived in Wuhan from Guangzhou through Hunan, mainly to swim the Yangtze River. I only visited a few factories and Yangtze River Bridge , listened to reports from several units, and did not convene a meeting of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee at all. ” ("Xinhua Digest" 1989 No. 6 Page 174)
◆Publication of Mei Wen and Wang Wen's "Spring and Autumn" and "Xinhua Digest".
The reason why the author quoted this part of the "Chronology" was to explain: First, there was no content in Mao Zedong's entire itinerary this time that could be related to the "symposium" in Mei Wen; second, anyone with a little academic knowledge knows that the authenticity of "Chronology" works is its soul and vitality. Mao Zedong's Chronology has no doubt about its strict requirements on its authenticity.
"Chronology": "(November 14, 1958) In the afternoon, he arrived in Xiaogan, Hubei. On the special train, Wang Renzhong attended the reports of Wang Yanchun, the first secretary of the Xiaogan Prefectural Committee and the County Party Committee, the Party Secretary of Changfeng Commune and the peasant representatives. When it was reported that someone in Changfeng Commune created a "10,000 jin of rice" with a yield of 10,000 jin of rice per mu, Mao Zedong said: I don't believe it. When someone said that this was accepted by the Minister of Rural Affairs himself, he said: It is unreliable, and no one can accept it.” (Volume 3 of "Chronology", pages 513-514)
Mei Wen: "At that time, Comrade Ren Chong had a low fever, and Shi Xue (Zhang Shi Xue, then the governor of Hubei Province, --quoted note) asked me to report to the Chairman. The opinion put forward by the Provincial Party Committee Secretariat is to report 40 billion jin. I think this will inevitably sell too much grain, and 30 million people in the province may go hungry. In the end, Comrade Ren Chong decided that I would report to the Chairman on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee. ” ("Spring and Autumn" 1988 Issue 1, Page 9)
Wang Wen: "I didn't issue low fever at that time, so I didn't ask him (referring to Mei Bai - quoted by the quote) to report on my behalf. "I told the Chairman that there is a high-yield field in Pengxing Township, which produces 10,000 kilograms of rice per mu. The Chairman said: ‘I don’t believe it. ’I said it was the Minister of Rural Work Wang Liang who came to inspect it. He said: "The acceptance is not reliable, unless the People's Liberation Army is sent to stand guard and take singles and collect them, they can only count. ’” (Xinhua Digest, 1989, No. 6, Page 175)
As for these two trips to Mao Zedong to Wuhan, it is completely different from the above historical materials that who told the truth and who told the lies.
◆In April 1958, Mao Zedong met with Li Da in Wuhan, and the right one was Wang Renzhong.
As for the meeting and conversation between Li Da and Mao Zedong in 1958, it is not recorded in the "Chronology". However, both Mei Bai and Wang Renzhong said that this was the case. Mei Wen said: "In 1958, Li Da had some differences with Mao Zedong... Mr. Li asked me to accompany him to 'find Runzhi'. "Li Da got angry as soon as he saw Mao Zedong: "Runzhi, "How bold are people, how productive are the land?" Does this sentence work? "Li Da continued: 'If you have a fever in your brain, you will have a high fever of 39 degrees, and you will have a fever below to 40 degrees, 41 degrees, 42 degrees... In this way, the Chinese people will suffer from major disasters. Do you admit it or not? ’” (Spring and Autumn Annals, 1988, Issue 1, Page 8) Wang Wen said: “One day in October 1958, the Chairman asked me to call Li Da and invite him to meet at the East Lake Guest House. What issues did the Chairman and Li Da talk about? I didn’t participate, let alone Mei Bai would not attend. Afterwards, the chairman told me that he said to Li Da: ‘What you write now (may refer to "Dialectical Materialism and Historical Materialism") is not as angry as the "Social Outline" written in the past. It is just copying the old things in the books, without much creativity, and without new insights from your own. ’When I visited Comrade Li Da during the Spring Festival in 1959, I told him the Chairman’s opinions. He said the Chairman had told him at the time that the Chairman's opinion was correct. ” ("Xinhua Digest" 1989 No. 6 Page 175)
Li Da died in August 1966. According to existing information, Li Da did not mention this meeting during his lifetime. In this way, the statements of Mei Bai and Wang Renzhong have become isolated evidence. The issue of the authenticity of the writing of the chronological biography has been mentioned before. Therefore, it is normal for the chronological biography to have no record of this meeting. Some people have used the content of "Fifteen Years Around Mao Zedong" by Li Yinqiao, who served as the head of Mao Zedong's Guardian, as evidence to support Mei Wen's statement, but in fact, if you understand the ins and outs of this book, you will know that the relevant content of this book cannot be used as evidence. The failure of the chronological biography can also explain this. Therefore, the issue of the use of evidence will not be unfolded here. Because in fact, As long as you carefully read the relevant contents of the four works mentioned above, you can conclude that if there was this meeting in history, Li Da would not have said Mao Zedong's words "You are in a fever" and could only be talking about philosophy.
The "Great Leap Forward" movement praised by Li Da
New Year's Day in 1958, " People's Daily " published an editorial entitled "Riding the Wind and Waves". This was written based on the spirit of Mao Zedong's many speeches at the Moscow Conference. The editorial once again emphasized the policy of "more, faster, better, and less", and put forward the slogan "work hard and strive for the best".
Li Da published the New Year's Day Message in the "Study Brief" of Wuhan University on December 31, 1957. The article is full of the spirit of "ride the wind and waves": "This year, two epoch-making events have happened internationally: one major event is that the Communist Party and the Workers' Party of 12 countries held a representative meeting in Moscow... Comrade Mao Zedong said well: 'It's not the west wind now. The east wind is overwhelming, but the east wind overwhelms the west wind. '" "After about 15 years of peaceful competition, the socialist camp of will leave the imperialist camp farther behind. No matter how imperialists obstruct, the future of the world always belongs to socialism. Shouldn't we be excited and proud?"
The Second Session of the Eighth National Congress of the Party was held in Beijing on May 5, 1958. The work report made by Liu Shaoqi on behalf of the Party Central Committee "caused heated discussions among the representatives. Everyone unanimously agreed and supported this report", marking that "the national 'Great Leap Forward' has reached its climax." ("Central Documents Publishing House's Biography of Mao Zedong", pages 816, pages 822)
Li Da's article in May "Dialectics of the Rectification Movement" (see "The Complete Works of Li Da" in the full text (Volume 18) Pages 392-410), the "Great Leap Forward" movement was told with great excitement: "Since May 1957, we have correctly handled the contradictions among the people with this new form of democracy (i.e., the rectification movement in 1957-----Introduction Notes), and brought us a comprehensive leap forward in economic and political thought." "The labor potential hidden by hundreds of millions of farmers is extremely deep. Once it is launched, it will be like an atomic explosion, a chain reaction, spreading across the country." "This is really a great miracle unprecedented in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. Regarding the indicators of grain production, the heroic farmers from all over the country strive for the "Forty Articles on Achievement of Agricultural Development" in the period of 3, 5 and 7 years, Fujian strives to become a thousand-jin province in 7 years, and Guangdong strives to become a thousand-jin province in 10 years. Farmers across the country try every means to achieve the indicators of increased production. They must fight hard In three years, we strive to change the entire face of the countryside. All these heroic plans are fully confident to be realized under the leadership of the Party. The superiority of production relations of agricultural cooperation can enable farmers to fully exert their labor creativity and make the yield leap to a very high level. The great leap forward for agricultural production is still continuing. As of now, the maximum wheat yield has reached more than 7,000 kilograms per mu, and the maximum rice yield has reached more than 36,000 kilograms. Large-scale bumper yields have generally occurred across the country. This year, early rice yield increased by 80 billion kilograms, and the potential of agricultural production has just begun. ""The practice over the past few years, especially since the winter of 1957, the great leap forward for agricultural production, the great leap forward for industrial production and all other undertakings have fully proved the correctness of this general route."
On November 7, 1958, Li Da delivered a speech at the Wuhan University celebration of the 41st anniversary of the October Revolution, and pointed out excitedly: "my country's steel production this year will definitely exceed 10.7 million tons, double the previous year. This development speed is unprecedented in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad. In terms of agriculture, the total wheat output in my country has jumped from 420 billion jin last year to 800 billion jin, exceeding the 2.7 billion jin of the United States. The United States has always boasted that the United States has always boasted that the United States has leaped from 420 billion jin last year to 800 billion jin, exceeding the United States' 2.7 billion jin. The United States has always boasted that it has been 2.7 billion jin. It is the 'Wheat Kingdom', so now I have to give up the 'throne'." ("Complete Works of Li Da (Volume 18)" Page 440)
◆Li Da
Li Da's firm support for the "Great Leap Forward" movement is consistent. On January 1, 1960, Li Da published "The Red Flag of Holding High Mao Zedong Thought and the General Route" in the Wuhan University newspaper "New Wuhan University". The article is still full of excitement: "The domestic situation is very good, very good, very good. 1959 was a year of leap forward on the basis of the 'Great Leap Forward' in 1958. During this year, our party held the Eighth Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee under the leadership of Comrade Mao Zedong, shattering the attack of right-leaning opportunists. Under the banner of the General Line, the Great Leap Forward, and the People's Commune, the people of the whole country were motivated to soar and launched a colorful and vigorous struggle on various fronts, one climax after another, one victory after another, one miracle after another, one miracle after another, one miracle after another, one like waves, and tens of horses galloping." "These irrefutable vivid facts fully prove that 1959 was a year of continuous leap forward and a year of brilliant victory. The reactionary forces at the international and domestic levels and the right-leaning opportunists who followed them to attack us, slander us, and call what we did in 1959 a darkness, which just shows their fear of our great achievements. If the praise of the enemy means we have done something stupid, then don’t their curses and attacks just prove that we are doing it completely right? ” (See pages 1-2 of the "Complete Works of Li Da (Volume 19)")
, and Mao Zedong remained relatively calm during this period. The "Chronology (Volume 3)" records: Mao Zedong pointed out in a discussion with some prefectural party committee secretaries of Hubei Province at the East Lake Hotel in Wuchang on September 7, 1957: "We must strive to catch up with and exceed the production level of wealthy middle peasants in three to five years. "(See page 202 of the book) This is the level of production that Mao Zedong expected. Therefore, when the Great Leap Forward" climax in 1958, he did not believe that there would be "ten thousand mu of land".
Li Da's evaluation of the "Great Leap Forward" movement was so high that he even believed that the yield per mu was 36,000 kilograms per mu was believed. He might be "angry" at Mao Zedong and say that Mao Zedong was "hot"?
Conversations about Mao Zedong and Li Da
Li Da was a Communist Party member. He was like the vast number of Communists in the country at that time, he was loyal to the cause of the party and admired Mao Zedong sincerely. As Deng Xiaoping later pointed out: "Mao Zedong Thought cultivated our entire generation. ”
In mid-February, Li Da returned to Changsha from Beijing and became the president of Hunan University. On April 26, Li Da published an article in the third issue of "People's Lake University", comparing Chairman Mao to the "helmsman of the big ship of the of the People's Republic of China". As a philosopher, Li Da published a series of four articles explaining Mao Zedong's "Hyperon of Practice on " from 1950 to 1951. He pointed out: "Mao Zedong Thought is the guiding ideology of revolution and construction of the people of the whole country, and is the object of obeying and learning by the people of the whole country. If we want to study Mao Zedong Thought well, we must study "On Practice". "On August 30, 1951, he published an article in the People's Daily that Mao Zedong "has the profound attainments and revolutionary geniuses of Marxism-Leninism." In September of the same year, he pointed out in "How to Study the History of the Party" that the overall purpose and requirement of studying the history of the Party is: "Learn the strategies and lines planned by Comrade Mao Zedong for the Chinese Revolution in every period, so as to understand the arduous process of the revolution, understand the great contribution of the Party to the Chinese people, firmly believe in the Party's deeper belief in Chairman Mao, and firmly have greater confidence in the cause of China's revolution and construction. "In 1952, he pointed out in his article "How to Analyze the Rural Class": "The Selected Works of Mao Zedong are a great collection of Comrade Mao Zedong's genius to solve the practical problems of the Chinese revolution, the crystallization of Mao Zedong's thought and the treasure house of the Chinese people's revolution. "From 1952 to 1953, Li Da also published a series of articles explaining Mao Zedong's " Contradiction ". He said: "The Contradiction lies a model for combining the universal truth of Marxism-Leninism with the specific practice of the Chinese revolution. "On February 23, 1953, Li Da became the president of Wuhan University until his death on August 24, 1966.
Li Da always remained consistent with the Party Central Committee. Treating every major event that occurred at that time, such as the "Three Antis" and "Five Antis", Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea , criticizing the movie " Wu Xun Biography ", criticizing Hu Shi Antis Moving thoughts, rectifying anti-rightist and anti-rightist tendencies, etc., all stood clearly on the position of a Communist Party member, using his profound academic and reputation in the academic and educational circles, and published articles and speeches, which had a considerable impact.
Now returns to the topic of Mao Zedong and Li Da’s conversation. According to authoritative historical materials, Mao Zedong and Li Da have had two conversations since Li Da served as the president of Wuhan University.
"Chronological Biography": "At 2:00 am on June 9, 1957, the seventh draft of the draft "On the Correct Handling of Contradictions among the People" was revised and formed, and the draft was marked as the "Revised Draft on June 8", and the instructions were: "Thirty-five copies of the samples were drawn and handed over to Comrade Yang Shangkun at 9:00 am today, and they were distributed to comrades of the Politburo and Secretariat, as well as Tian Jiaying ...' On the same night, I talked with Li Da." At that time, there was also a Li Da who served as the deputy minister of the Ministry of National Defense. Therefore, this note reads: "Li Da, a philosopher. He was then a member of the National People's Congress, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, a president of Wuhan University, and a member of the Ministry of Philosophy and Social Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences." ("Chronology (Volume 3)" Page 173)
According to the partial records of Li Da's letter from "Li Da's Complete Works (Volume 20)": Li Da wrote in a letter to Wuhan University Yu Zhihong on August 28, 1961: "I met Chairman Mao a few days ago. During the conversation, the Chairman asked me to modify and publish the sociological outline." (See the book, page 445)
◆In April 1958, Mao Zedong and Li Da (first from right) were in Wuhan.
Although the content of the conversation on June 9, 1957 was not released, it is certainly related to Mao Zedong's "Issue on Correctly Handling Contradictions Among the People" (hereinafter referred to as "The True Seal"). Because: First, since this conversation, Li Da, in addition to publishing articles on the importance of "Zhengchu" to rectify the movement and the anti-rightist movement in November of that year, articles on "Zhengchu" have been published almost every year; Second, Li Da listed the study of "Zhengchu" as part of his lifelong work plan. Another point is that his study of "The Righteousness" is directly related to his views on the "Great Leap Forward" movement. Regarding this, it was particularly obvious in his "Dialectics of the Rectification Movement" published in May 1958 and his "Study on Chairman Mao's Works and Correcting the Study Style, Teaching Style and Writing Style" published in November.
"Dialectics of the Rectification Movement" writes: "(Rectification Movement) is the most appropriate and effective form of democratic movement that correctly resolves contradictions within the people and promotes the development of the socialist cause." "Since May 1957, we have correctly handled contradictions within the people with this new form of democracy, which has brought us a comprehensive and comprehensive leap forward in economic and political thought." "Therefore, the rapid improvement of production relations between rural areas and enterprises has aroused the enthusiasm of the revolution of the workers and peasants, and set off a climax of the Great Leap Forward in Production."
"Studyingly studying Chairman Mao's works and correcting the style of study, teaching and writing style" (see "The Complete Works of Li Da (Volume 18)" pp. 433-436)) writes: "We have philosophical work such as industrial and agricultural production. Those who have also made a great leap forward. The first step in this great leap forward is to carefully study Chairman Mao's works, change the past academic style, teaching style and literary style that deviates from reality, and establish the academic style, teaching style and literary style that connects theory with practice. ""The most important works published by Chairman Mao during this period include " on the Issue of Agricultural Cooperation" and "The Climax of Socialism in Rural China" and "The Issue of Correctly Handling Contradictions among the People". The first two works promoted the victory of the socialist revolution on the economic front, and the latter works promoted the victory of the socialist revolution on the political front and the ideological front. In this way, a great leap forward by millions of people on the production front, which enabled the entire country's productivity to develop thousands of miles a day."
provides two details by the way. One was in November 1958, when Mao Zedong criticized the people's commune's erroneous ideological tendency to abolish commodity production and commodity exchange. Li Da wrote an article on January 24, 1959, pointing out that the People's Commune's intention to cancel the production of goods and exchange of goods is "wrong". Another is at the Nanning Conference in January 1958, when Mao Zedong raised the issue of the relationship between the fingers and the nine fingers, involving the overall view of the "Great Leap Forward". Li Da wrote an article in February 1960, pointing out that "nine fingers and one finger" is one of the new forms of working methods created by Mao Zedong's most outstanding contribution to Marxist epistemology.In June of that year, he issued a document to commemorate the third anniversary of the publication of "The Lord", pointing out: "The reason why Comrade Mao Zedong's great work has such great theoretical power is that it has always adhered to the principles of Marxism-Leninism's dialectical materialism and historical materialism, and dared to push Marxism-Leninism forward under new historical conditions."
Li Da wrote in a letter to Yu Zhihong on August 28, 1961: "I met Chairman Mao a few days ago. During the conversation, the Chairman asked me to modify and publish the outline of sociology. I said that I am not energetic now, and he said I could find some effective assistants to help. I said I should do it. Therefore, I want to start this work after returning to school... Please consider it for me and support it vigorously. I have been waiting for me for several years, and I plan to start the first place. Therefore, I want to start this work after returning to school... Please consider it for me and support it vigorously. First complete the following tasks: 1. "Dialectics of Materialism" - that is, the rewriting of the first half of the sociological outline. As for the second half, I will not rewrite it. 2. "The Materialist Historical View of the Chinese Revolution" - there are some outlines. 3. Modify the "Explanation of the Theory of Practice". 4. Modify the "Explanation of the Theory of Contradictions". 5. Reading the "Explanation of the "Problem of Contradictions" 5. Reading the "Problem on Correctly Handling Contradictions among the People". 6. "Mao Zedong's Thought Methods and Working Methods". If the above six tasks can be completed within three years and I can still live at that time, I will further develop other things. This is a later story."
In September 1961, after Li Da returned to Wuhan from Lushan, he formed the Mao Zedong Thought Research Office of Wuhan University, and decided to rewrite the "Outline of Sociology" and rewrite a "Outline of Marxist Philosophy". On October 26, 1965, Li Da, who was in Beijing, wrote a letter to his academic assistant Tao Delin , saying: "For several years, our fan of the Mao Zedong Thought Research Office has mainly compiled the "Outline of Marxist Philosophy", but this book was guided by Mao Zedong Thought and written with the anti-cultivation outline. Writing this philosophical outline with Mao Zedong Thought is the basic work of Mao Zedong Thought's research." On February 14, 1966, the author of the "Outline of Marxist Philosophy" Volume 2 (Historical Materialism Part)" wrote the key points of the preparation work plan based on Li Da's instructions. The plan elaborates on the tasks and requirements, guiding ideology, writing methods, work systems and progress of the second volume. "According to Comrade Li Da's instructions, the general guiding ideology of this volume is: to expound Comrade Mao Zedong's theory of historical materialism, to expound Comrade Mao's theoretical summary of the new experience of the International Communist Movement and domestic revolutionary construction, and to expose and criticize the distortion and tampering of historical materialism by modern revisionism ." After the "Cultural Revolution" began, Li Da was dealt with incorrectly. On August 17, 1966, a week before his death, he instructed his wife Shi Manhua: "If I die, please tell Comrade Tao Delin that my only plea is to hope that he will compile the second volume of the "Outline of Marxist Philosophy" and modify the first volume to help me complete the task assigned to me by Chairman Mao."
Reviewing the two conversations between Mao Zedong and Li Da, if Wang Renzhong and Mei Bai did have that conversation in 1958, what Mao Zedong would talk to Li Da will definitely not be difficult for readers to get the answer.
