When it comes to Gan Zuchang, most elderly people remember: the old Red Army, disarming and returning to the fields, and abandoning officials to farm. There were many introductions and publicity in the 1960s and 1970s.
Gan Zuchang 1927 took part in the revolution, took part in the reclamation of Changzheng and Nanniwan of 359 Brigade, and made outstanding achievements. He was the first major general awarded by New China. Due to three head injuries in the war, he left a concussion sequela, and he resigned and returned to his hometown in Jiangxi. Organizationally arranged for him to go to Lushan Mountain for long-term rest, but he returned to his hometown Fanglou Commune in Lianhua County with his whole family. During his 29 years in his hometown, he led the villagers to build 3 reservoirs, 25 km long channels, 4 hydropower stations, 3 highways and 12 bridges. He spent 80% of his salary on the construction of his hometown, but he was extremely frugal and strict with his family. Before he died, he said to his wife, "The next time I get my salary, I will buy some fertilizer for poor households."
Some time ago, the large-scale historical documentary "Faith-Our Story" focused on a group of typical representatives of * * *, including Gan Zuchang, and revealed his meaningful words. Some people don't understand his behavior, and even their brothers feel wronged. They blamed him: "you are lucky to be an improper official and don't spend money." What are your plans? " Gan Zuchang calmly replied: "We are not engaged in revolution for personal promotion and wealth, nor for overthrowing an exploiting class and cultivating a new privileged class. We are doing the revolution to liberate all mankind and realize communism! "
Most of the past reports reflected that the old general "engaged in revolution not for personal promotion and wealth", but "for the liberation of all mankind and the realization of communism", omitting "not for overthrowing an exploiting class and then cultivating a new privileged class". In fact, this is a very important point and should not be ignored.
Zhu De also recognized this problem. Zhu De's grandson, Zhu Heping, recalled that his grandfather had said something to him in the year of his death: "All the old cadres have gone to the city with high salaries and good houses. These are more special than others, and people are not satisfied. Say we're officials. That's right. Didn't I always tell you that you belong to the noble children? In life and conditions, they are superior to ordinary workers and peasants! None of these can be considered reasonable and normal. " (Zhu Heping: Permanent Memory, Contemporary China Publishing House, 2004) Unfortunately, many people, especially leading cadres, disagreed at that time. It is not surprising that they "think these are reasonable and normal phenomena".
Regrettably, we only focus on his mental journey and mentality from peasant to general to peasant, highlighting his true nature as a peasant, indifferent to fame and fortune, caring for the masses and building the party for the public, but not fully aware of the seriousness of his privileged phenomenon and privileged tendency. Later, strange phenomena such as polarization, power rent-seeking, and special interest groups appeared. Now it seems that they did not appear out of thin air.
