In March 1944, Xinhua Daily published an article by Guo Moruo, mainly describing and analyzing the process and reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty, which is the famous "Jiashen Three Hundred Years Festival". Guo Lao analyzed Li Zicheng's lessons from the perspective of Marxism-Leninism, and this long article of nearly 20,000 words was affirmed by Chairman Mao. Ye Zilong, who served as Chairman Mao's secretary for many years, recalled that Chairman Mao mentioned the article more than once, even reading it when he left Xibaipo for Beijing.
After the peaceful liberation of Peiping in 1949, the Party Central Committee decided to designate the capital at Peiping, and Chairman Mao compared this trip to Beijing to "going to Beijing to catch up with the examination", after which the focus of our Party's work began to change, and since the founding of the Party in 1921, it has gone through 28 years of mental journey, and finally won the current situation. Before the founding of New China, Chairman Mao proposed that everyone should continue to maintain the style of arduous struggle and guard against the enemy's "sugar-coated shells" attacks. But in 1951, the case of "Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan" still appeared. This big case, known as the first anti-corruption knife in New China, has aroused strong repercussions throughout the country. We have just won the victory of the revolution, the country is in ruins, and the people's life is still very difficult, but our cadres can no longer withstand the test of "sugar-coated shells" and have become corrupt and degenerate. Liu Qingshan, a native of Hebei, was born in 1916 into a peasant family, and because his family was poor, he worked as a long-term worker at a very young age. In 1931, at the age of 15, he became a member of the Communist Party.
During the Gaoli Rebellion, he was unfortunately arrested, but because of his young age, the enemy thought that he had captured the wrong person and saved his life. In 1937, he was sent to Kang Da to study, and the following year he came to Dacheng, Hebei Province to carry out propaganda activities to resist Japan and save the dead, and at the same time he also trained many outstanding cadres for the organization. Whether it was during the Anti-Japanese War or later during the Liberation War, Liu Qingshan experienced the test of life and death many times, but it did not make him frown, and as a result, after the victory of the revolution, he completely lost his principles and limits in two years. According to statistics, Liu Qingshan's embezzlement amounted to 184 million old coins, equivalent to 1.7 million yuan, which may not seem like much now, but it was very staggering at the time.
For personal enjoyment, he and Zhang Zishan abused their power and ignored party discipline and state law; they wantonly stole funds for airport construction, disaster relief grain, relief grain, and river control funds; in addition, they also withheld the wages of migrant workers, defrauded bank loans, and helped profiteers resell important resources such as steel and timber, causing heavy losses to state property. Liu Qingshan is addicted to the enjoyment of life, and even addicted to drugs. Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan, who committed numerous crimes, did not realize their mistakes at all, but felt that they had contributed to the revolution, and now it is normal to enjoy them. In 1951, Liu Qingshan was expelled from the party, and in February of the following year, the Hebei provincial government held a public trial meeting, and the provincial people's court applied to the Supreme People's Court for approval and sentenced Liu Qingshan to death, and Liu Qingshan was only 36 years old when he was executed. Liu Qingshan has 3 sons, the eldest son Tie Cai is just 7 years old, the second son Tie Jia is only 4 years old, and the youngest son Tie Bing is only a few months old, considering that Liu Qingshan did make contributions during the war years, so after approval, the government pays 15 yuan a month to the eldest son and second son, and believes that Liu Qingshan's mistakes have nothing to do with his family, and will not hold his family responsible.
Liu Qingshan's wife Fan Yong works in the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee Cultural Troupe, and her income is considered good, plus the state has taken care of her, but it is still very difficult for her to pull her 3 sons alone, and at the same time she does not dare to tell the truth to her children, only saying that her father went on a business trip abroad. But the paper could not contain the fire after all, and from the fingers of others, the children still guessed the truth of their father's accident. Fan Yong insisted on taking the children alone for two years, but finally couldn't bear it anymore, decided to remarry, and gave the 3 children to his uncle to raise. The eldest son, Liu Tieqi, did well in school, and after graduating from high school, he was admitted to the Beijing Petroleum Institute, after which he was assigned to a factory in Fushun, Liaoning Province, and then worked in Langfang, where he was hired as a vice president after retirement. Liu Tieqi has two children, his daughter later went to study in the UK, and his son was also admitted to the University of Petroleum in Beijing.
Liu Tiejia is less psychologically able than his brother, and after his father's accident, when he was in school, he felt that his teachers and classmates looked at him with a different look, and he really couldn't stay in school, and finally had to drop out. Later, his brother helped him find a job as a worker, and although the job was ordinary, Liu Tiejia felt very solid and content. The youngest son Liu Tiebing's greatest wish is to become a soldier, but because of his father's relationship, he could not pass the political trial, so he had to return to his hometown to farm, and then with the help of the local government, he was transferred to the county to work, which is good for him. Although the three children of the Liu family have more or less regrets because of their father's relationship, the state has been very lenient to them and can take care of them until they grow up. They also remember this kindness, and use it to teach their descendants to remember the mistakes made by their fathers and not ruin their lives because of greed!
