Use the omen of the old cadres
In the development of the Communist Party of China, veteran cadres have played an important role. They are pillars of the Party, have experienced protracted revolutionary struggles and construction, and have made significant contributions to the Party and the people. However, during the Cultural Revolution, the old cadres were greatly affected, and many were forced to leave their jobs and suffered unfair treatment. However, after the end of the Cultural Revolution, with the changes of the times, some old cadres hoped to be able to resume their use and continue to serve the motherland and the people.
The death of Marshal Chen Yi became a harbinger of the demobilization of old cadres. Chairman Mao attended Marshal Chen Yi's memorial service, a move that attracted widespread attention throughout the country. This move not only demonstrated Chairman Mao's deep affection for Chen Yi, but also sent an important signal to the whole country: the demobilization of old cadres will begin to gradually advance.
At the next meeting, Premier Zhou expressed his impression that Chairman Mao was attending Chen Yi's memorial service. Chairman Mao's participation showed his importance and respect for the old cadres, and at the same time expressed his willingness to reactivate the old cadres. With this important signal, the demobilization and work arrangements of the old cadres began to gradually rise to the agenda.
In December 1972, Chairman Mao decided to solve the cadre problem and put it in the hands of Premier Zhou. Premier Zhou began to preside over relevant work, providing a guarantee for 175 veteran cadres to return to the mountains. However, this work encountered difficulties in implementation. Various military regions have different opinions on this work, and some even expressed their reluctance to accept these veteran cadres. Premier Zhou even encountered difficulties in coming forward in person. The demobilization of these old cadres is like a football being kicked around, and it has encountered an embarrassing situation. Why is demobilization so difficult? Is there something hidden in it? How did Premier Zhou solve this problem?
In fact, Premier Zhou made thorough preparations before the demobilization work. After investigation and research, Premier Zhou has prepared a list of 175 generals. When Chairman Mao formally ordered the work to begin, Premier Zhou immediately made arrangements. However, difficulties have been encountered in the practical implementation of the measures. How to find out the whereabouts of these cadres? How do I get in touch with them? How are their jobs arranged? These are all issues that Premier Zhou needs to face.
In order to find out the whereabouts of these cadres, the General Political Department staff began to consult the letters received by the Central Committee. These letters provided valuable clues to the relatives and children of these cadres. With the help of the masses, the staff found some information about the whereabouts of the cadres.
At the same time, in order to complete the task as soon as possible, Premier Zhou decided to appoint troops and selected Tian Weixin as his assistant. The work of demobilized cadres mainly consists of locating and contacting cadres, as well as arranging suitable jobs. In the process of locating these cadres, staff need to conduct investigations and reviews in accordance with principles and ensure that they meet the eligibility requirements for demobilization.
During this period, the demobilization of some cadres encountered resistance. Some military districts are reluctant to accept these cadres, believing that they will cause trouble for their work. Even Premier Zhou's personal appearance did not solve this problem. Why is the demobilization of these cadres facing such an embarrassing situation? What exactly happened? How did Premier Zhou solve this dilemma?
In fact, Premier Zhou anticipated the complexity of the issue long before the work began. He prepared a list of cadres who would return to work and formulated working principles. In work, a clear division of labor and hierarchy makes work more orderly and avoids formalism. The report needs to be discussed and decided by the Politburo at the end. This process may seem difficult, but as long as you follow the working principles, you can solve the problem step by step.
Throughout the work, Premier Zhou always paid attention to the progress of the work and communicated with the staff frequently. He knows each cadre in detail and gives them encouragement and support. Even when he encountered difficulties at the beginning of the work, he was able to find a solution to the problem.
For example, Tian Weixin once ran into trouble when dealing with Chen Zaidao's demobilization work. Tian Weixin finally successfully arranged Chen Zaidao's work through a telephone conversation with the commander of the military region and after many exchanges and explanations. Since then, the demobilization of other cadres has also proceeded smoothly. Chen Zaidao and other cadres not only adapted to their new jobs, but also showed a good work attitude. These veteran cadres returned to work full of enthusiasm, and they practiced the party's fine traditions with practical actions.
Throughout the demobilization process, the cooperation of cadres at all levels is very important. The Politburo, the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, the Office of the Premier of the State Council, the General Political Department and other units have worked closely together to form a unified working force. At the same time, the people have also provided many valuable clues and help. Only through the joint efforts of all levels of the country can the demobilization process proceed smoothly.
All in all, the demobilization of veteran cadres is not only a personal issue, but also a major matter for the party and the state. Through the firm determination and correct leadership of Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou, as well as the active cooperation of the cadres, the veteran cadres finally returned to their posts and continued to serve the motherland and the people. The process is arduous but promising. We should learn from the old cadres, inherit their excellent qualities and dedication, and jointly promote the development and progress of the country.
