One afternoon in September 1971, I remember that a few of my junior brothers and sisters in the model room had pulled a cart of wood from the Wuye Woodworking Factory at the mouth of the bull market back to the workshop. They had just unloaded the wood from the truck and piled it up in the wood yard of the model room. They were ready to go to the third floor and return to the dormitory to rest.
When we stood at the entrance of the dormitory, we found a strange middle-aged man who was dressed like a small official standing beside the iron gate of the model room not far from us. He took the initiative to raise his hand and greeted us politely. We had never seen this person before, so we didn't know who he was. What did he do? However, he took the initiative to greet us. We couldn't show that we were rude, so we could only wave the clothes in our hands as a response.
At this time, the section chief, Master Yang, walked out of the model room and shouted at us,"You guys can rest later. Come over and get to know each other.”
The few of us had no choice but to return to the model room. The middle-aged man also followed us. It was only then that I noticed that there was an unfathomable smile on his face. I have a feeling that there's an invisible face behind his face. It makes me feel that he's not easy to get along with.
The section chief, Master Yang, pointed at the thin middle-aged man and said to us,"Let me introduce you. This is the new assistant instructor of our workshop. You should get to know each other so that you can work together in the future.”
The middle-aged man immediately added,"My surname is Lin, as in Deputy Commander Lin. I hope everyone will support me in the future.”
At this moment, I could feel that behind the smile on his face, there seemed to be another extremely ferocious and terrifying face. This two-faced person was really hard to figure out…
A few days later, there was a meeting in the workshop. At that time, our forging workshop was also known as the Third Company. That was the name given by the military management committee when it was under military control. Many people were used to this title. The title of Third Company sounded a little like an army. There was also a sense of mystery. There was even a hint of pride. Us fellow disciples quite like this title.
The workshop director of the forging workshop was also the company commander. At the meeting, the company commander focused on the current production situation and specific tasks of the workshop, and asked everyone to pay attention to safety. Finally, he said,"Today is Saturday. Try to go home early." Now, the new assistant instructor of the workshop will say a few words to everyone."
As soon as the old company commander finished speaking, the middle-aged man immediately followed up and couldn't wait to raise his voice to start his speech."Comrades, I'm a new member of your Third Company. My surname is Lin, as in Deputy Commander Lin. I hope everyone will support me in the future. Now, I will convey a document from the higher-ups regarding political and ideology work. The document is not long, so I hope everyone will pay attention.”
At this moment, Assistant Instructor Lin maintained the smile of a superior. His eyes were condescending. He held a document in his hand and read every word on it. However, he still understood that there had to be someone more educated than him standing next to him. If he encountered a document that he did not know, he could ask someone immediately.
He didn't exactly follow the script (if he did, that's right, if he did, that's what we'd hope for.) At least we can know that it's what the document says, not what he said.）Instead, he read out a short paragraph of the document and commented on it one by one based on the short paragraph or the content of the document with a few words, his understanding, and the specific people and things that he knew in the workshop.
16 was a document with less than three pages. He spoke on the stage for three and a half hours, but he was still not satisfied. The more we listened, the more confused we became. We couldn't tell what was originally said in the document and what was said in the extended document. What was his understanding? She didn't know where he got so much nonsense from. He was too good at nagging.
The old company commander was a little anxious. He thought to himself that he had originally planned to just say a few polite words to everyone at the meeting and then dismiss the meeting. She didn't expect him to be so persistent. The old company commander pointed at the watch on his wrist and kept gesturing to Deputy Instructor Lin to pay attention to the time. However, the assistant instructor became more and more addicted. He didn't care about any hints the old commander gave him.
After a long time, this Deputy Instructor Lin did not respond, so the old company commander had to take action directly. He stood up and took advantage of the moment when the assistant instructor paused to snatch the conversation and immediately announced the end of the meeting. He did not know how long he would talk. When we walked out of the workshop, we immediately felt that the sky outside had already darkened.
After this assistant instructor took office in the workshop, every time the workshop held a meeting, we would silently say,"Assistant Instructor Lin won't speak at the meeting today, right?"”During the meeting, if Assistant Instructor Lin continued,""Let me say a few words." The workers who attended the meeting immediately burst into gasps of surprise.
Assistant Instructor Lin's work was very hard. In order to get more first-hand information, he wandered around the workshop every day. He especially liked to check the workers 'dormitories and watch them go back to their dormitories to sleep during working hours. Once you're discovered, immediately write it down in a small notebook. However, we don't object to you writing it down. In the future, you should go to the shift to verify if the master worked the night shift yesterday. However, he didn't do that. Instead, he directly criticized him at the meeting. This method directly caused the staff to be dissatisfied with Assistant Instructor Lin. If this dissatisfaction accumulated, it would inevitably lead to serious opposition between the masses and Assistant Instructor Lin.
There would also be some people who were unwilling to argue with him in front of him, but would use underhanded methods to make him feel wronged behind his back. Assistant Instructor Lin's bicycle was often slowed down by others. If not, the valve would be pulled out. There was often black iron sand on Assistant Instructor Lin's office chair. The ink bottle on Assistant Instructor Lin's desk was often filled with tap water. The clothes that Assistant Instructor Lin hung on the wall were also often covered with glass glue. Sand was often put into his pockets. To be honest, he also felt that working in Third Company was a thankless job. In the machine repair shop, almost everyone who had dealt with him seemed to be dissatisfied with him. He was also very distressed. He had been in Third Company for less than a month, and according to him, he had lost six pounds.
Assistant Instructor Lin was busy organizing the materials in the workshop. He wrote about this person today and that person tomorrow. Almost everyone in the workshop had left their marks on his blue notebook.
However, he did not learn to look at blueprints. In the Third Company, there were quite a lot of topics that needed to be studied in the forging profession. Assistant Instructor Lin didn't know how to do it himself, but he was against others learning it.
There was once when he came to my dormitory and saw that there was only one book, Mechanical Drawing, on the table. He criticized me very seriously, saying,"You only read those meaningless books. What's the point? You have to take the time to learn more of the third chapter." He had to learn more about politics. Read less of those worthless books.
However, there was something cute about this deputy instructor. He was wearing a replica military uniform. In the lower pocket of this replica military uniform, there were two small notebooks with different covers. One was red. It recorded all the good deeds he had learned about in the workshop. He was prepared to find an opportunity to praise them at the meeting. The other one was blue. It recorded the bad people and bad things that he knew should be criticized in the workshop. He was also prepared to bring it to the workshop meeting to be criticized and criticized at any time.
Coincidentally, during that period of time, the weather was not good. It rained for many days in a row. He was reluctant to ride his bicycle to work. Just like the others in the workshop, he squeezed into the bus every day. There were too many people on the bus, and the bus was quite crowded. Assistant Instructor Lin came from his house in the morning. He got on the bus at Mengzhui Bay Station and took the No. 8 bus to Tiaodenghe bus station when he met a thief. The thief stole his two little notebooks. However, when the thief realized that there was no money in the book, he threw the two books under the bus seat.
The two small notebooks that were thrown on the bus happened to be picked up by the young man in our workshop. He took it back to the factory that day and handed it directly to the office of the party secretary of the machine repair factory. Secretary Liu of the factory's Party Committee called Deputy Instructor Lin to the Party Committee office. In view of the inappropriate practice of keeping small accounts in political work, he put forward serious criticism.
Before the anti-party group was exposed, this deputy instructor was always proud of the surname of Deputy Commander Lin in many public places. It was as if he was the great leader, the great teacher, the great helmsman, the close comrade of the great commander, Leader Mao. His surname was Lin, and it was definitely inseparable from his Lin. As the saying went, one could not write two "Lin" characters in one stroke.
They were a family about 500 years ago. Therefore, whenever he had to introduce himself to the public, he would always say," My surname is Lin, as in Deputy Commander Lin.”
After the 9/13 incident in 1971, the conspiracy of the anti-party group was exposed. From mid-to-late October 1971, the whole country entered a political movement to criticize the anti-party group. It was probably from this moment that the deputy instructor remembered that his surname was also Lin. At this time, he was also afraid that others would mention that he and Deputy Commander Lin were from the same family 500 years ago. He no longer mentioned anything that couldn't be written with two "Lin" characters.
In order to show that he had already drawn a clear line with Deputy Commander Lin in the depths of his soul in the field of thought, he would not say that he was Deputy Commander Lin loudly when he needed to introduce his surname to others. Instead, he introduced him politely in a very low-key and unusually peaceful tone,"My surname is Lin, as in Shuangmu Forest.”
One afternoon in the winter of 1971, just after lunch, I was washing dishes in front of a tap on the left side of the boiler room outside the model room. Assistant Instructor Lin patted my shoulder and said that he wanted to talk to me.
