One afternoon in the winter of 1971, I had just finished my lunch in the canteen. I carried my lunch box and ate as I walked to the boiler room. Just as I finished my lunch, I bent over in front of a faucet on the left side of the boiler room and washed the lunch box with hot water. Assistant Instructor Lin stood behind me and patted my shoulder gently. He nodded at me, indicating that he wanted to talk to me. His expression was quite serious. Looking at the seriousness on his face, he might really have something important to tell me.
I had to stand up and hand the freshly washed lunch box to a senior brother next to me, asking him to help me bring the lunch box back to the model room and put it on my workbench. After saying that, he turned around and followed behind Assistant Instructor Lin. They came to an open space outside the workshop and found a corner that was sheltered from the wind. We sat down next to a pile of waste concrete components.
We sat down. Assistant Instructor Lin stared at me with his mysterious eyes for a long time without saying anything. He kept flipping through his small notebook. He's deliberately keeping silent and playing with me. I was a little unhappy, thinking that it was you who called me over. I came over and you didn't say anything. Who knows what you want to say? Anyway, I have to guess. I definitely won't be able to guess it. So I lowered my head, not wanting to break the silence. After a while. Only then did he put down the notebook in his hand. I finally understand. He was acting like a leader. He wanted to scare me with his aura. I don't have anything on him anyway, so I'm not afraid of him. Therefore, I put on a posture of looking at my watch and told him with practical actions. I'm very busy. I don't have time and I don't want to play with you. If you have nothing to say, I'll leave immediately.
Assistant Instructor Lin finally spoke,""Have you officially submitted an application to the League branch?”
I said,"What's wrong with handing it over?”
"No, don't misunderstand," said Assistant Instructor Lin. That's not what I meant. In the workshop party branch, I am in charge of the work of the Youth League in the workshop. I have seen your application for joining the League. There are no major problems and basically meet the requirements. However, you still have some problems that you must explain to the branch and the organization.”
I didn't understand what he was referring to. I knew what I was doing and there was nothing to hide. His family history was very clear. His personal experience could also be investigated. What did he mean by that?
I was stunned. After a while, I asked carefully but confidently,"Instructor Lin, I don't understand what you're talking about. I've always been loyal and honest to the organization. He never hid anything."
Assistant Instructor Lin maintained an unfathomable smile on his face. He said,"What is your family background? Is this question difficult to answer?"
What's so difficult about that? I immediately replied, Ever since I was in middle school, I've been filling in as an employee."
Assistant Instructor Lin's mysterious smile was really scary. He continued to smile, but he did look at me with a tone that was obviously used to examine prisoners. He continued," The employee you wrote down is your father's occupation. It is understood that your grandfather was a landlord during the land reform. Your family background should be a landlord.”
At that time, I felt that something was out of thin air and that something unexpected had happened.
At that time, I didn't care about being afraid. I immediately counterattacked and said firmly,"My family background should have included my father's generation. There's nothing wrong with me filling in as an employee. My father's family background should be a landlord. This was basic political knowledge. I don't think I have any problems.”
Assistant Instructor Lin still maintained that unfathomable smile on his face. He continued to speak to me with conviction,"Leader Mao taught us that class struggle will exist forever, and the landlord and rich anti-bad right-wing members must also exist forever. Even if the current landlord and rich anti-bad right-wing members are all dead, there will still be new landlord and rich anti-bad right-wing members. And you, of course, including you, are the basic conditions for producing these new anti-bad right-wing members. If you all become workers and farmers, then the basic conditions for producing new anti-bad right-wing members in the land of China will be gone, and the class struggle will be extinguished.”
At that time, I immediately felt the pressure of three mountains on my head. I could already feel that this Deputy Instructor Lin in front of me was even smaller. I strongly felt that his policy level was too low and that his political attainment was too poor. In front of him, I especially had a strong feeling of "a scholar meeting a soldier, reasoning is difficult to explain". I really don't understand why our party always tolerates such ignorant people.
The problem was that Assistant Instructor Lin had already started talking and wanted him to stop. It was already impossible for him to speak for hours. I can't afford to spend so much effort. I wanted to run away, but it was impossible, because I was the only audience at the moment. I wanted to close my eyes to rest, but I couldn't. There was a small north wind blowing all around. If she really fell asleep, she would easily catch a cold. Moreover, it was unrealistic for me to doze off in the open-air dam in front of Deputy Instructor Lin. At this moment, I noticed that the person standing at the entrance of the factory in the distance seemed to be Secretary Liu of the factory's Party Committee.
As I read this, I suddenly thought of Secretary Liu of the Party Committee in the factory. He had an idea. Then I might as well use Secretary Liu's reputation to scare him. Then, he took advantage of the situation to counterattack Assistant Instructor Lin's concept.
After thinking of this strategy to deal with him, a countermeasure immediately came out. I pretended to be very afraid. After looking around, I used a pleading tone and said something that made Assistant Instructor Lin afraid from the bottom of his heart,"I heard what you said just now, but my political thinking is very limited. I still don't understand many things. Anyway, I happen to be going to the Finance Department of the factory in the afternoon to report the accounts. I just happened to pass by the Party Committee Office and wanted to find Secretary Liu on the way. I wanted to report the contents of the conversation you just had with me as the key content and then ask Secretary Liu about it. What you just said, do you represent the current line and policy of the Chinese Party?”
What he didn't expect was that he had just said that. Assistant Instructor Lin's expression immediately changed. He immediately put on another smile and immediately retracted the topic. He said anxiously," Don't, don't, you go to the factory in the afternoon. Don't trouble Secretary Liu. He's so busy with work. Don't trouble him anymore." Just now, I was joking with you. Don't take it to heart. I didn't take what I said to you seriously. Don't take it seriously. It was purely a joke. I'm just joking."
At this moment, I finally let out a sigh of relief. I smiled and said to Assistant Instructor Lin,"Oh my god, how can we, the commoners, take your joke? This kind of joke will really crush us to death. These jokes are bigger than the sky and will take the lives of our entire family. It's enough to send us to the eighteenth level of hell. He would never be able to turn over a new leaf. We sincerely hope that you won't joke with us like this in the future. We really can't afford to be punished."
Now, he seemed to have finally recovered. He continued to maintain that mysterious smile. A pair of glasses reflected the sunlight. Through the pair of glasses, he narrowed his eyes and looked at me."I came to look for you today to tell you something else. I can say responsibly that there are many young workers in the workshop. They have all submitted applications to the Youth League branch. The performance of those young comrades is very outstanding. However, there are certain procedures and steps for the development of our Youth League organization. It was impossible to make all of them members at once. Therefore, the workshop decided to expand on the basis of the original group study group. I plan to appoint you as the team leader. He would use his spare time to organize long-term learning sessions for everyone. Can you accept this mission and accept the long-term test of the organization?”
Hearing what he said, I didn't say anything else. I felt that he seemed to have set up a new puzzle for me at this moment. I'm sure that he's obviously falling into his trap. Accepting the long-term group test meant that no matter how hard I tried, I would never be able to join the group. And all of this came from me, voluntarily expressing my willingness to accept the long-term test of the organization. No matter how much sacrifice and contribution I made, the organization had sufficient reasons to block me from the door of the Youth League and never allow me to join. I still couldn't find a place to seek justice. This meant that he had given me a pair of presentable shoes that squeezed my feet. Moreover, I have to wear these shoes even if I don't want to. This was the decision of the organization. If I don't agree, then there's even more to say. You've already expressed your stance. He was unwilling to accept the mission assigned by the organization. Then there's no need for you to write an application to join the group. Clearly, at this moment, I could only choose: Agree to accept the mission of the organization. What a bitter life.
So I answered seriously," Since I've already submitted my application to join the Youth League, I'm already mentally prepared to accept the long-term test of the Youth League. Including any tests."
At this moment, I saw that the assistant instructor's face, which was always smiling, seemed to have become even gloomier.
A few days later, the workshop held an expansion meeting of the branch of the Youth League. All the young workers in the workshop who had submitted the application form to join the League attended. Deputy Instructor Lin, representing the delegation branch, solemnly announced something at this meeting.
