Extended information Lao She's death
1On August 23rd, 966, Lao She, then chairman of Beijing Federation of Literary and Art Circles, recovered from a serious illness. Originally, the doctor asked him to train more, but he couldn't wait to work in the office.
At that time, the whole country was immersed in the passion of the Cultural Revolution, and Lao She was no exception. As the chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, he is going to work and devote himself to this fiery revolution.
On this day, the Red Guards, the children whom Lao She had hoped for, wanted to burn a batch of expensive Peking Opera costumes at the Confucius Temple in Chengxian Street, which had to be burned mercilessly because it was the "four old".
The Red Guards felt that it was not enough to burn costumes, so they temporarily decided to go to the Cultural Bureau to catch some leaders to criticize and set off the atmosphere.
The Federation of Literary and Art Circles was next door to the Cultural Bureau, and the Red Guards temporarily decided to pull a few literati to accompany them. At this time, Lao She happened to have a meeting in the conference room of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
It's still very hot in August. The Red Guards painted a thick paste on Lao She's back, affixing information such as name, position and charges.
Lao She and more than 30 cultural celebrities were dragged by truck to Little Square of Confucius Temple, kneeling in a circle, with costumes collected in the middle. The costume was lit, and the flames were soaring, and Lao She and others were breathless by the fire.
Rebellious students are mostly middle school girls. While shouting slogans, they waved belts and tortured the leaders of the Cultural Bureau and the literati of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. This scene was later restored by Chen Kaige in the movie Farewell My Concubine.
Rebellious students also dragged the books of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles to burn. Lao She loves books. As the chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, he tried to stop students from burning books, which attracted countless people to punch and kick until their heads were broken.
Criticism continued into the evening. Lao She is old and has recovered from a serious illness. At that time, the Beijing Revolutionary Committee was worried that she would die, so it took her to the Federation of Literary and Art Circles alone.
However, a large group of Red Guards are already waiting for you in the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. They shouted slogans criticizing Lao She, a counter-revolutionary gangster. However, they don't know what Lao She did, what books he wrote and what crimes he committed. They don't know anything. At this time, another colleague of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, who was criticized together, stood up and exposed Lao She: "Lao She sold the copyright of Camel Xiangzi to Americans before liberation, and he took US dollars."
Desperate red guards seized the straw. They shouted slogans and criticized them. They moved their hands with excitement. The whole crowd fell into an inexplicable excitement, and more and more people began to do so. Lao She was kicked, beaten and pulled by his hair ... His shirt was torn and his shoes were lost. The 67-year-old man was beaten to death.
The revolutionary committee members present were worried that Lao She would be killed, so they called the police and took him to the police station on the grounds that Lao She was a "current counter-revolutionary". However, the young Red Guards were unwilling to chase after the police station and beat up Lao She and other counter-revolutionaries until late at night.
Lao She's wife Hu Jieqing received a notice and went to the police station to meet Lao She late at night. She found a tricycle to pull Lao She home. Before going home, the Revolutionary Committee told Lao She that he must report to the Federation of Literary and Art Circles with the sign of "Current Counter-Revolution" the next day.
Back home, Lao She's vest and wound stuck together. Hu Jieqing had to slowly moisten the cotton with hot water before taking it off.
Lao She urged his wife to go to work at once in the morning.
After his wife left, only three-year-old granddaughter Shu Yue and elderly nanny were left at home.
In the teahouse, Wang Lifa took his grandson's hand before committing suicide and said, "Come, say goodbye to grandpa."
Lao She went to three-year-old Shu Yue before going out, bent down, took her little hand and said slowly, "Say goodbye to grandpa."
Lao She went out, but instead of going to the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, she went to the remote Taiping Lake.
He will resist. His resistance is to die.
