On October 6, 1976, Jiang Qing and others were isolated and censored, which meant that the "Gang of Four" was crushed in one fell swoop, and on October 14, the news of the "Gang of Four" was announced, and after hearing this news, the whole country celebrated, and the "ten years of turmoil" finally ended.
After more than four years of trial, Jiang Qing was finally sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve, and on January 25, 1983, Jiang Qing was commuted to life imprisonment according to law.
On November 20, 1980, at the scene of the "Special Court" at No. 1 Zhengyi Road in Beijing, many people came early, and by 3:15 p.m., Jiang Qing was brought into the courtroom, her short black hair was combed shiny, and her clothes were clean and neat.
According to the prison staff, Jiang Qing had to familiarize herself with it before each court appearance, and after going to court, Jiang Qing was full of words, often refuting and disrupting the trial process, and she still quibbled in every way in the face of evidence and facts, but facts speak louder than words, and in the face of a large amount of evidence and witnesses, Jiang Qing could not quibble.
As we all know, Jiang Qing persecuted many people, and Jiang Qing can list three of his many crimes, the first is to frame people and button hats indiscriminately, among which the typical is Jiang Qing's secretary Yan Changgui, who was Jiang Qing's first confidential secretary, only working for one year, he was framed by Jiang Qing and imprisoned.
Yan Changgui was in charge of handling Jiang Qing's letters at that time, and at that time Jiang Qing was very popular, receiving thousands of letters every day, so Yan Changgui also specially led a letter processing working group, also called the "Jiang Qing Information Office Group", to separate the letters and pick out the letters that Jiang Qing personally checked.
At that time, I knew that Jiang Qing was not easy to get along with, so Yan Changgui was extra careful in doing things, once received a letter, because of the special letter, Yan Changgui did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so he sent it to Jiang Qing, but he did not expect that because this letter angered Jiang Qing, Yan Changgui was immediately criticized.
The matter did not end there, soon Yan Changgui was put in custody, and then sent to prison for examination, resulting in Yan Changgui being detained in prison for more than 7 years, there are many similar things, Yan Changgui is only one of them, and even some people have died unjustly.
Jiang Qing's second crime is to use power for personal gain, Jiang Qing is extravagant in life, she will not only take a milk bath with milk powder, but also take special trains and special planes to play everywhere, almost just go, transfer special planes and special trains are with her mood, so that special trains and special planes are often empty, waste is serious, in the face of such a situation, no one dares to say anything.
For example, on November 13, 1970, Jiang Qing went to Hainan to recuperate, she arranged the speedboat casually, and lived in Hainan as she wanted, and in the spring of 1971, she even used a military plane to transport precious tea plants from Hangzhou to Beijing, she planted them herself, but the climate was not suitable, and the tea plants were transported back to Hangzhou again, laboring and losing money.
Jiang Qing's third major crime is the embezzlement of cultural relics, and many people may not know that during the "special decade", many cultural relics were confiscated and stored in the Beijing Cultural Relics Management Office.
