On July 25, 1949, the North China People's Government held the third enlarged meeting of the committee in Beiping, and decided to set up Pingyuan Province again in the southwestern Shandong, northern Henan, and southern Hebei areas, and Pan Fusheng, secretary of the Party Committee of Hebei, Shandong, and Henan Districts and political commissar of the Military Region, was appointed secretary of the Pingyuan Provincial Party Committee, and later Pan Fusheng served as the secretary of the Henan Provincial Party Committee and the first secretary of the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee.
Unexpectedly, this old revolutionary, who was re-elected as the secretary of the three provincial party committees, was removed from all his posts in 1971.
Today we will talk about the story of Pan Fusheng.
In 1908, Pan Fusheng was born in a poor peasant family in Erma Village, Houjia Town, Wendeng County, Shandong Province.
In this regard, Pan Fusheng did not give up, and he was admitted to the publicly-funded school Shandong Provincial No. 1 Rural Normal School with his personal efforts, during which Pan Fusheng read progressive books and newspapers extensively, gradually accepted Marxist ideas, and the seeds of revolution began to germinate in his heart.
After the "918" incident, in the face of the inaction of the Nationalist government, many students went to Nanjing to carry out petition activities, Pan Fusheng also took active action, launched a student uprising in response, due to the betrayal of the traitor, Pan Fusheng was unfortunately arrested in 1932, the Kuomintang reactionaries carried out cruel physical torture on Pan Fusheng, but Pan Fusheng never gave in, continued to fight.
After the "77 Incident," the Kuomintang and the Communist Party once again began to cooperate, and against this background, many of our party's imprisoned comrades came out of prison, including Pan Fusheng, who returned to his hometown to organize the anti-Japanese salvation movement and served as secretary of the Wendeng Central County Party Committee.
Beginning in 1940, Pan Fusheng's area of activity was transferred from Jiaodong to the Sulu-Henan region at the junction of Jiangsu, Shandong, and Henan, and in November 1945, he was appointed deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the Communist Party of China's Hebei-Shandong-Henan District and deputy political commissar of the Military Region.
In August 1949, Pan Fusheng was appointed secretary of the Pingyuan Provincial Party Committee and political commissar of the Military Region.
Unexpectedly, as soon as New China was founded, Pan Fusheng was demoted, what happened?
In March 1950, the People's Daily published a news item saying that "the Puyang Prefectural Committee and the Special Administration of the Communist Party of China have neglected the work of transporting grain, and chaos has occurred in the transportation of grain, and the peasants have suffered extremely serious losses." The North China Bureau ordered the Pingyuan Provincial Party Committee to immediately conduct a review.
Subsequently, the People's Daily again published a critical report on Pingyuan Province, saying that a situation similar to that of Puyang had occurred in Liaocheng Prefecture of Pingyuan Province, and that under such circumstances, the Pingyuan Provincial Party Committee had no choice but to conduct a review and publish it in the People's Daily.
In July 1950, Pan Fusheng was demoted to deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, becoming the first provincial party secretary to be demoted after accepting public criticism from the newspaper of the party central organ after the founding of New China.
In 1952, Pingyuan Province was abolished, and Pan Fusheng was transferred to the Henan Provincial Party Committee Secretary and Political Commissar of the Military Region.
Unexpectedly, during the reign of Henan, Pan Fusheng was punished again, what happened this time?
It was in 1958 that the Central Committee launched the Great Leap Forward Movement, and in the process of the movement, there was a serious phenomenon of "exaggeration", which Pan Fusheng resolutely opposed, so Pan Fusheng was identified as a "right-leaning opportunist", was dismissed from his post, and was sent to work on the Xihua Farm.
In 1962, the Central Committee convened a meeting of 7,000 people, and many cadres who had previously been branded as "rightists" were rehabilitated, including Pan Fusheng, who resumed his work in this year and became the director and party secretary of the National Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives.
In January 1966, Pan Fusheng's work was transferred again, and he was appointed as the first secretary of the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee and the first political commissar of the Provincial Military Region.
Not long after Pan Fusheng took office, an unprecedented political storm swept across the land of China, and at first, Pan Fusheng did not understand the intentions of the Central Committee, but only conveyed the instructions of the Central Committee, on the contrary, he also tried to protect some old comrades as much as possible.
After the 11th Plenary Session of the 8th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Pan Fusheng's attitude changed drastically.
In August 1966, at a meeting held at the People's Building in Harbin, Pan Fusheng put on a red armband and delivered a speech in support of the Red Guard rebellion, becoming the first provincial party secretary in the country to support the Red Guard rebellion.
On March 20, 1967, the Central Committee approved the establishment of a revolutionary committee in Heilongjiang Province, with Pan Fusheng as its director.
Heilongjiang Province became the first province to establish a Revolutionary Committee during the Cultural Revolution.
With the support of Pan Fusheng, the rebellion movements in Heilongjiang rose one after another, many old comrades and cadres were overthrown, and even the situation got out of control.
In June 1971, the central government ordered Pan Fusheng to be removed from all positions and examined in isolation, and in April 1980, Pan Fusheng died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage in Harbin at the age of 72.
