Ji Dengkui: Is Hua Guofeng's promotional song appropriate? After the founding of New China, songs praising the older generation of leaders became a common phenomenon. However, at that time, Ji Dengkui refused to sing a song that promoted Hua Guofeng, and the reason for his refusal was unexpected. This raises people's questions, what is Hua Guofeng's experience, and why did Ji Dengkui refuse to approve the singing of this song? Ji Dengkui, born in 1923, participated in the revolution for many years and is an experienced cadre.
In 1951, Chairman Mao heard Ji Dengkui's name on his way south and met him on the train. As the propaganda minister, Ji Dengkui knew the local situation in Xuchang very well. This meeting left a deep impression on Chairman Mao with Ji Dengkui. Subsequently, Ji Dengkui's work was praised and specially reported by the People's Daily. This made him a model for propaganda work in the Xuchang area. However, in the 70s, when someone sent a song to promote Hua Guofeng, Ji Dengkui refused. Hua Guofeng and Ji Dengkui are both from Shanxi, and Ji Dengkui knows Hua Guofeng's early experience very well.
Hua Guofeng once served as a political commissar in Jiaocheng County, but his status and ability were not outstanding compared to other founding generals. For Ji Dengkui, propaganda of such a political commissar did not mean much, but could negate the merits of other revolutionaries. Ji Dengkui refused to sing the song on the grounds that he knew the situation. Ji Dengkui's refusal has raised concerns and questions. Why wasn't Hua's experience widely publicized? Is the meaning of this song exaggerated? Behind these questions lies historical reflection and recognition of merit.
In fact, Ji Dengkui had contact with other founding generals during his work in the Central Committee and had a certain understanding of their ideas, so his attitude towards this song was also thoughtful. After retiring, Ji Dengkui chatted with his son and mentioned that he had refused to publicize Hua Guofeng. This conversation led to deeper thinking and a greater understanding of Ji Dengkui's decision.
Ji Dengkui's refusal was not motivated by personal prejudice or subjective will, but because he had a clear understanding of history and merit, and he did not want to see the old generals who had made great efforts for the revolutionary cause ignored or forgotten. To sum up, Ji Dengkui's refusal to promote Hua Guofeng's songs is out of respect for history and merit. He thought the song might have a negative effect on the exploits of other revolutionaries of the older generation. Ji Dengkui's decision was understood and supported. However, we can also consider a question from this: how to balance the contribution of individuals and the overall historical value in propaganda?
