During the special period, the situation in Kunming began to change, and Qin Jiwei was serving as the commander of the Kunming Military Region. At that time, Yan Hongyan, first secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee and first political commissar of the Kunming Military Region, reminded him to be careful because people's hearts are unpredictable. Although Qin Jiwei thought that he had not done anything wrong, the development of the situation was beyond his expectations. In the big cities of the country, the situation has become very tense, and some social organizations have begun to appear in Yunnan Province, especially in Kunming, and the situation has changed rapidly, and many leaders have been affected, especially Yan Hongyan, who is the first secretary of the provincial party committee and the first political commissar of the Kunming Military Region, who has been treated unfairly.
Thinking that it was Yan Hongyan who reminded him to pay attention to the situation, he didn't expect that he would bear the brunt of the impact, which made Qin Jiwei worry about the situation in Yunnan Province, Yan Hongyan was impacted, and the work of the entire province, and even the Kunming Military Region might fall into chaos. Therefore, Qin Jiwei decided to protect Yan Hongyan first, and he immediately sent someone to try to bring Yan Hongyan to the military region, so that under the protection of the troops, there would be no accidents. However, in the face of the complicated situation, although Qin Jiwei took some precautions, the development of the situation could not be ignored, and some people regarded him as a target and put various hats on him, one of which was to protect Yan Hongyan. Although Qin Jiwei felt helpless in the face of this situation, he still resolutely protected Yan Hongyan, but under the pressure of the rebel organization and his superiors, Yan Hongyan was finally forced to die.
Under the pressure of the situation, Qin Jiwei and the party committee of the military region could no longer control the situation, their normal work was disrupted, and he also felt exhausted. However, Qin Jiwei has always adhered to his original intention, believing that history is fair, the current situation is only temporary, and right and wrong will eventually be distinguished. He remained loyal to the party, firmly walked on the party's path, and remained unwavering even in difficult times.
Qin Jiwei's situation has become very bad, and many people are pointing the finger at him. Premier Zhou Enlai was very worried about Qin Jiwei's situation, so he sent a plane to take him to Beijing and put him in the Jingxi Hotel. In the hotel, Qin Jiwei began to feel a kind of loneliness, because some people were obviously deliberately avoiding him, they were once close comrades-in-arms, but now they were avoiding him. In order to relieve the boredom in his heart, Qin Jiwei chose to go to the staff canteen and eat with ordinary staff. In the staff canteen, he treats ordinary employees as equals, there is no barrier in position and rank, and interpersonal relationships have become very close. Qin Jiwei's affinity and friendliness made the staff respect him very much, and everyone knew that he was an old general who had made outstanding achievements on the battlefield, so he was very respected. In the staff canteen, Qin Jiwei gradually found a sense of belonging to the people, and no longer felt lonely and lonely.
However, the situation changed again, and many people were evacuated to various places, and Qin Jiwei was also evacuated from Beijing to a military farm in Hanshou County, Changsha. Although he was over half a hundred years old, he was still actively engaged in manual labor. The living and working conditions on the farm are very difficult, the housing is simple, and the food is poor, but Qin Jiwei is never afraid of being dirty or tired, and everything is what he can bear. He is an expert worker, he can do everything, and he is full of energy. Although the work on the farm is dirty and tiring, Qin Jiwei never complains, he has been a working person since he was a child, and labor is his true color. His positive attitude and spirit of work have infected young people, and everyone has expressed their admiration for his tenacity and optimism.
However, although Qin Jiwei stayed true to his original intention, he was confused about some issues, he felt that he had been deprived of some of his basic rights, could not subscribe to newspapers, had to have his letters censored, and as an old party member, he could not participate in organizational life. These questions puzzled him, but he still firmly believed that everything would be okay and that the rights and wrongs would eventually be revealed. However, an accident caused him to be seriously injured and he was eventually transferred to the 163 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army in Changsha City, where he gradually recovered after several months of treatment.
In April 1973, Qin Jiwei learned from the newspaper that Deng Xiaoping was attending the event in his capacity as vice premier of the State Council. Leaders such as Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou, and Ye Jianying were also very concerned about Qin Jiwei's situation, and eventually he returned to the army, served as the commander of the Chengdu Military Region, and was elected as a member of the Central Committee at the 10th Congress of the Communist Party of China. In the Beijing Military Region, Qin Jiwei implemented Deng Xiaoping's rectification policy, analyzed the situation, clarified the principles, comprehensively straightened out the troops, improved their combat effectiveness, strengthened organizational discipline, and ensured the army's absolute loyalty to the party.
On July 28, 1976, after the Tangshan earthquake, Qin Jiwei organized the North China garrison to go to the disaster area for earthquake relief. Qin Jiwei led the troops to successfully complete the task of earthquake relief and made outstanding contributions to the people.
In the new period, Qin Jiwei is still full of enthusiasm, actively devotes himself to the cause of army and country construction, organizes the famous North China live military exercise, and serves as the commander-in-chief of the military parade marking the 35 th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, making important contributions to the construction of the army and the country again. General Qin Jiwei not only showed outstanding fighting spirit during the war years, but also made great contributions to the construction of the army and the country after the founding of New China. Although he experienced unfair treatment in a special historical period, he always adhered to his beliefs, never changed his original intention, displayed a high degree of political consciousness and ideals and beliefs, and showed the broad-mindedness of a Communist Party member. This firm belief enabled him to survive the difficult years and once again make important contributions to the people's army and national building in the new historical period.
