Rebirth without Regrets

Chapter 171 Southern Tour

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, domestic voices denying reform and opening up mainly came from the private sector. The main reason was that new problems and new contradictions had arisen in the reform, which were more related to people's livelihood and the adjustment of the interest structure. Housing reform, medical reform, education reform, and so on.

In addition, the reform of state-owned enterprises has caused a large number of laid-off workers, who are now living in difficulty. When these problems are combined, we see some people suddenly becoming rich, the gap between the rich and the poor is worsening, and the mentality is imbalanced.

Leng Yunyi, who was still studying at the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee, faced the new social contradictions and problems that emerged at that time. Under Leng Binghan's "instigation", he wrote four consecutive articles to promote reform. The opening chapter was "Being a "leader" in reform and opening up.

"", proposing that "1991 is the year of reform". The second article "We need new ideas for reform and opening up" pointed out that the new idea for reform in the 1990s is to develop a market economy. The third article "We need to have a stronger awareness of expanding opening up"

”, the article points out that reform and opening up requires the courage to do things that have never been done before. The fourth article, “Reform and opening up requires a large number of cadres with both ability and political integrity”, emphasizes that reform and opening up requires a large number of cadres who have the courage to think, explore and innovate.

Leng Yunyi took advantage of his previous fame. As soon as these four articles were published in the "Sichuan Daily", they immediately attracted everyone's attention. They quickly aroused strong repercussions both inside and outside the party, at home and abroad. Many provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across the country even established offices in Chengdu.

Office staff received calls from local leaders requesting to collect "all articles" for their study and reference. Some even sent special personnel to Chengdu to investigate the "publication background" and hoped to communicate with Leng Yunyi.

Of course, there are also some people, and even many mainstream newspapers, who have begun to publicly launch fierce criticism of Leng Yunyi, believing that he is sensationalizing and spreading reactionary remarks during this changing situation. Even Wang Peiyuan and Song Zuyun are quite a bit concerned.

I don’t understand. Didn’t Leng Yunyi object to it at first? Why does he strongly agree with it now? Why can’t he just accept it?

The fierce exchange of ideological streams within the party has caused the general public to feel uneasy: Are they going back to the days of class struggle? And the province's arrangements for Leng Yunyi are even more uncertain, and they don't know what the final outcome will be.

Which way of thinking will prevail in the end of the Central Committee, for fear of getting the wrong direction, it can only put him in the party school for the time being. Therefore, other people's party schools can only study for three months at most, and this party school class,

It took more than half a year.

Although it is far away from Xichang, it is close to Leng Binghan. Most of the time during the break, I would come to Wang Peiyuan's house and spend time with them. Either I would discuss practical matters with Wang Peiyuan, or I would take Leng Binghan with me.

Leng Binghan took him around to look around, which could be regarded as making up for the family affection and responsibilities that his father should fulfill.

January 17, 1992. The Chinese lunar calendar is the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the Year of the Sheep.

In Beijing, a motorcade with police cars driving out of a narrow alley in the back streets of Jingshan drove past Tiananmen Square, past the Beijing Hotel, and past Wangfujing. Under the glare of the police, the traffic light turned green and entered the Beijing Railway Station.

Beijing Railway Station. The first stop in China. It is an important hub connecting all provincial capitals in China. It is also the busiest train station in the twelfth lunar month. On the east side of the platform, which is slightly deserted, is a row of green leather cars.

It had stopped on the track, the police car cleared the way, and two minibuses and several cars slowly approached and stopped one after another.

The head of the central government, together with his wife, children and daughter-in-law, grandchildren, granddaughters and more than ten accompanying staff, stepped onto the special train.

The chief, who was nearly ninety years old, wore a thick coat and a gray scarf. He shook hands with the people who were seeing him off, and with the support of his children, he also stepped into the special train. The train slid out of the platform quietly. This

It was a special train with no scheduled train schedule. No one knew where it was going except the Central Office of the CPC Central Committee and the Minister of Railways.

The special train is actually a mobile presidential suite. It has bedrooms, bathrooms, reception rooms, conference rooms, activity rooms, restaurants, guard rooms, entourage rooms, and luggage compartments. It is collectively called a green train by the Ministry of Railways. This special train looks like an ordinary train.

It is the same as the passenger train, except that the green car does not have the factory license plate and date of manufacture, nor does it have the station signs of the originating and terminal stations. Its speed is below 120 kilometers per hour, and the fuel uses minus 30 diesel, which is generally used by the Air Force.

Used by fighter jets, the advantage is that it will not freeze at minus 30 degrees Celsius.

This is the southern inspection tour of great significance in the history of China, which ended the fierce conflict within the party and opened a new chapter of reform and opening up. However, it is different from the historical southern tour route of Wuhan, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Pearl River Delta, Guangzhou, and Shanghai.

There is a difference. Due to the appearance of Leng Binghan, a little change has taken place. The core place of ideological confrontation has become Chengdu, so Mr. D placed the first stop of his southern tour in Chengdu, Sichuan. History has been deflected, and his

Its arrival is like a butterfly effect, changing the development course of China and even the world.

The chief was originally from Sichuan, so it was understandable that he would return to Sichuan first during this southern tour. However, after the news came back to Chengdu, it still caused a violent shock. Everyone was happy that the chief could come to Chengdu for inspection. This shows that Chengdu attracts

I have received the central government's attention. At the same time, I am a little scared. I don't know what this means, whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

But no matter what, members of several provincial and municipal teams have begun final preparations, and all aspects have taken active actions. There are obviously many more armed police soldiers standing guard on the streets, and a tense and exciting atmosphere has enveloped the entire city of Chengdu.

January 19, 1992, this day will forever be written into the history of Chengdu.

The chief's special train successfully arrived in Chengdu at 10:20 a.m. that day. It is expected to stay in Chengdu for two days to inspect various economic construction conditions in Chengdu, then return to his hometown in Guang'an to have a look, then go to Chongqing for inspection, and then go along the river.

Wuhan returns to its original trajectory.

After the special train arrived, all members of the leadership teams of the Sichuan Provincial Committee and the Chengdu Municipal Committee went to the platform to greet the great leader. Then, accompanied by them and the entourage of the central government at all levels, the leader took a bulletproof car and carefully visited various places in Chengdu.

various landscapes and their construction conditions. They also visited Feiyuan International Building and Chengdu Feiyuan International Hotel, the most eye-catching landmark buildings in Chengdu, with great interest.

In the luxurious conference room on the top floor of Feiyuan International Hotel, the chief will listen to work reports from members of the provincial and municipal teams here, and change his habit of staying in Jinjiang Hotel in Chengdu and stay at Feiyuan International Hotel in Chengdu. Of course, this place has already

Strict preparation and prohibition work have been carried out to ensure the safety and comfort of the chief executive.

The chief minister was very interested in the spectacular and luxurious Feiyuan Building and Feiyuan International Hotel, which are not inferior to those in developed cities such as Beijing and Shanghai. He stood on the top of a 40-story building and overlooked the whole city through the blue glass windows.

Looking at the city's landscape, he said with great interest to the secretary accompanying him: "The construction here in Chengdu is pretty good. Such buildings and luxurious hotels are rare even in developed cities."

"Yes, it seems that Feiyuan Company is very optimistic about the development of the city of Chengdu." The secretary replied: "But I heard that Feiyuan Building and International Hotel in Beijing, Shanghai and other places are also under construction."

"Well, being able to introduce internationally renowned large companies like Feiyuan to invest and promote urban development is also an idea of ​​our reform and opening up development! I think Chengdu is doing well!" The chief seemed very satisfied.

At the meeting, the chief listened to the work reports and development ideas of the province and the city from Zhou Hao, secretary of the provincial party committee, and Wang Peiyuan, secretary of the municipal party committee, and highly praised the achievements of provincial and municipal cadres in local work.

Then, the chief suddenly asked: "These days, I often hear a name in my ears. It can be said that my ears are calloused. This person is our fellow Sichuan fellow Leng Yunyi. This comrade is not simple.

, under the circumstances at that time, it takes a lot of courage and courage to write such an article. Is he here today?"

The members of the provincial and municipal teams all looked at each other. No one expected that the chief would meet Leng Yunyi when he first came to Chengdu. This really surprised and surprised them. However, seeing this scene, the chief seemed to appreciate him quite a bit.

, so Zhou Hao, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, said: "Chief, this Leng Yunyi is a rare good cadre in our province. I heard that Feiyuan Company was also introduced by Secretary Wang Peiyuan, who was the mayor of Xichang City at the time, together with him."

He attaches great importance to him and is now letting him study in the Provincial Party School. If the chief wants to see him, I will arrange for him to come over immediately."

Anyone can carry a sedan chair. Although Wang Peiyuan was disdainful of Zhou Hao's remarks, he could not jump out and sing the opposite at this time, especially when it related to Leng Yunyi's future.

The chief seemed to be very interested in Leng Yunyi and said to Zhou Hao: "Then invite him to come. I am very interested in him!"

In fact, before coming to Chengdu, the chief had carefully studied this local mayor who had the courage to write articles that were inconsistent with mainstream thinking. Various tasks in Xichang were carried out vigorously, and all large-scale projects and economic construction had his influence. Not only

The urban economic construction has a long-term vision, and the rural economic reform has also been done very well. The mind is flexible, the work is organized, the ideas are bold and novel, and the spirit of seeking truth from facts is used to develop economic construction in an eclectic way. Be prepared for danger in times of peace, but understand that crises are opportunities in danger.

The most important thing is to be able to put your ideas into practice and achieve great success. This is the most commendable thing about Leng Yunyi.

Doesn't work in the new era require people who are both full of ideas, drive, and capable of practical work? Therefore, the name Leng Yunyi left a deep impression on the leader.

Of course, Zhou Hao immediately went to make arrangements, and he couldn't help but feel complacent that he had asked Leng Yunyi to go to the party school to learn this method of advancing, attacking, retreating and defending.

In less than thirty minutes, Leng Yunyi was secretly sent to Feiyuan International Hotel by relevant personnel from the province. He was in a daze all the way. It was not until he met the leader whom he had only seen on TV that he felt a little clearer.

However, Man Man was suddenly struck by the huge excitement again. He stuttered a little while speaking, and his hands and feet were slightly trembling.

"Ah, you are Comrade Leng Yunyi," the leader saw Leng Yunyi and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I am not a lion or a tiger, let alone a reactionary, haha."

"Chief, I'm so happy to see you. This is really unbelievable!" Seeing the cordial expression of the chief, Leng Yunyi's uneasy mood calmed down a little.

"Tell me, how did you come up with the idea of ​​writing that manuscript? I'm really curious!"

Leng Yunyi has answered this question countless times in the past few days. Leng Yunyi took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and said: "When it comes to theoretical knowledge, the leader is far-sighted and far beyond what we can compare with. I can only

Some weak opinions are not necessarily correct, and they can only be said to be mere suggestions."

"Haha, comrade you have become more humble. It's okay. Just say whatever comes to mind. Today we are just discussing it. Don't be afraid that you will say something wrong. The truth becomes clearer with more debate. Our gcd has always been pragmatic and seek truth from facts." The chief said cordially.

Leng Yunyi's expression made Leng Yunyi dispel some of his worries.

Leng Yunyi then reported the various thoughts and ideas that he and Leng Binghan had discussed one by one to the chief and all the leaders present.

The chief looked at the capable Leng Yunyi and listened to his clear and brief report. He really felt good about him. He made an exception and interrupted his report twice, had some exchanges with him, and carefully asked some people in Xichang City.

Specific construction conditions and ideas.

Although Leng Yunqing studied at the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee, he was very clear and understanding of the situation in Xichang City. His answers to the chief's questions were concise and well-founded, and he had all kinds of data at his fingertips, which made the chief quite familiar.

satisfy.

Finally, the chief asked: "You are a cadre from the basic level. You should know the voices and thoughts of the masses best. At the same time, you have also published your own opinions in newspapers, so you should have a strong say. Then let me ask you, how do you view the current situation?

In reform and opening up, how can we avoid repeating the mistakes of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union?"

This question is huge, involving all aspects of issues and interests, and is difficult to answer. Moreover, such a national policy should not be arbitrarily reviewed by a department-level cadre like Leng Yunyi.

Therefore, everyone in the conference room looked straight at Leng Yunyi, wanting to see what kind of answer he would give. Wang Peiyuan's heart also beat rapidly.

Leng Yunyi, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, was very calm about this. He smiled and said: "Actually, I have already mentioned in the article that reform and opening up must be carried out, and it must be carried out at a fast pace and vigorously.

Do it unswervingly. Planning and market are both economic means, not the essential difference between socialism and capitalism. The essence of socialism is to liberate productive forces, develop productive forces, eliminate exploitation, eliminate polarization, and ultimately achieve common prosperity. Of course,

In this process, we must be vigilant against bourgeois liberalization and peaceful evolution..."

The chief nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Some of the theoretical viewpoints originally came from the chief's own ideas, so in his mind, they naturally coincided with each other.

Listening to Leng Yunyi's point of view, the chief nodded slightly and said: "I didn't expect Comrade Leng Yunyi's insights to be so profound. I didn't believe it when I just read the article. But now that I see it, it is indeed a true insight, with clear thinking, bold and well-founded ideas.

Not only did we analyze it from the perspective of one country, we even made a profound analysis of the development situation abroad, and concluded that our country must follow its own unique development path. It is very good. It is precisely the comrades at the grassroots level who are conscientious and dedicated.

, being diligent, crossing the river by feeling for the stones, and paying attention to summing up experience and lessons, is the hope of our party!"

Leng Yunyi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed after hearing the chief's praise. Most of these ideas came from Leng Binghan. They were all obtained from him during the communication with him, compiled and completed. There was no suggestion from him.

, I still don’t have such in-depth knowledge and understanding of many things. It is really embarrassing for a fifty-year-old department-level cadre with more than thirty years of party experience to steal these things from his son.

But he didn't know that Leng Binghan was a real master of plagiarism. Otherwise, even if he lived for a few more lifetimes, he would never be as high-ranking as the leader and have such in-depth knowledge and understanding.

Following Leng Yunyi's ideas and views, the leader analyzed the international and domestic situation, summarized the party's basic practices and experience since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, and reiterated the need to deepen reform and accelerate development in view of the doubts currently prevalent in people's minds.

The necessity and importance, and based on China's reality, standing at the height of the times, profoundly summarized the experience and lessons of more than ten years of reform and opening up, and clearly answered a series of major theoretical and practical issues that often troubled and constrained people.

It pointed out that the criteria for judging right and wrong mainly depend on whether it is conducive to developing the productive forces of socialist society, whether it is conducive to enhancing the comprehensive national strength of the socialist country, and whether it is conducive to improving people's living standards. Emphasizing the need to grasp

Seize the opportunity, boldly reform, accelerate development, adhere to the party's basic line unswervingly for a hundred years. Unswervingly implement the party's basic line of "one center, two basic points" and adhere to the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics

, seize the current favorable opportunity, accelerate the pace of reform and opening up, and concentrate on economic construction. New ideas have been put forward, new breakthroughs have been made, and the theory of building socialism with Chinese characteristics has been greatly advanced.

This is exactly the content of the famous leader's southern inspection speech in history, which pointed out the development principles and policies of our party and our country in recent decades, unified our thinking, and allowed the cadres and the masses to put down their burdens and devote themselves wholeheartedly to the torrent of reform and opening up.

However, compared with history, the time of this speech was more than ten days earlier, and the location was also changed from Shanghai and Guangzhou to Chengdu, making Chengdu, a famous city through the ages, in the southern tour with far-reaching historical significance.

Shining brightly.

After the chief finished speaking, there was warm applause in the conference room, and the leaders at the provincial and municipal levels were like lights on the way forward. Now they knew what to do next, and they knew how to carry out their work in the next step, and they would not be like

I was just as confused as before.

Before the meeting was about to end, the chief said to Leng Yunyi: "You go back and prepare. After I come back from Guang'an, you will go with me to Chongqing, Wuhan, Shenzhen and other places to see the actual development situation there. Practice.

It is the only standard for testing truth. Go take a look, compare it with your own theoretical ideas, and check whether they are correct."

When Leng Yunyi heard this, he felt as if he was thunderstruck, his whole body trembled suddenly, he couldn't believe his ears, and other officials in the conference room all looked at him with extreme envy and jealousy.

They all sighed that he was so lucky. With just a few articles, he not only gained the chief's attention, but now he was even kissed by the chief and went on a southern tour with his own chief. Is that even a big deal? Being able to follow the chief,

Then it is definitely possible to win the favor of the chief in the process, and then you can really rise to the top, and the future is promising.

Seeing that Leng Yunyi had not replied, the chief was stunned for a moment and asked: "What, Comrade Leng Yunyi, are you in trouble?"

When Wang Peiyuan saw this scene, his heart tightened, and he wished he could immediately agree to it for Leng Yunyi. He coughed twice, trying to remind him in such an inappropriate way.

Leng Yunyi also woke up from his excitement, and hurriedly nodded and said to the chief: "Thank you for your trust, chief. I will definitely study and study the construction spirit and development ideas of developed coastal cities, and constantly improve and improve my ideological awareness and awareness."

.”

"Comrade Yunyi, congratulations. You have the honor to go to the east and south with the chief this time, but you must learn from the advanced experience of the chief and those brother cities, and come back to shoulder a heavier burden! I know, Yunyi

Comrade is a good comrade, so I have to overcome all objections and let you come to the Party School to study and get promoted. You can prepare well when you go back in the next two days. There is no need to go to the Party School for now. A word from the leader will at least be as good as our study at the Party School.

One year! If you have any difficulties, just tell me directly and I will try my best to help you solve it." After coming down, the provincial party committee secretary first came over and said cordially to Leng Yunyi, while being almost showboating.

Fortunately, I didn't do anything for my own selfish desires at that time, otherwise, it would have ended badly. This Leng Yunyi can be taken by the chief to go on a southern tour today. No one dares to say for sure what will happen tomorrow. Who can say?

We need to know what his future development will be like. This kind of person must not become an enemy.

The Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee had lowered his profile, and naturally the others could not miss it. Even Zhao Dazhong and Wang Wenchao, who wanted to put him to death at that time, acted as if nothing had happened, and came up to hold Leng Yunyi's hand.

He refused to let go, and even Leng Yunyi couldn't bear the enthusiasm. He insisted on inviting him to dinner, but Leng Yunyi politely declined again and again before giving up. He looked at some department officials who were not qualified to enter the conference room and were close to the chief.

Even some cadres at the deputy ministerial level are wondering why Leng Yunyi has become such a hot spot today, with everyone vying for space to show their hospitality.

After returning home, Leng Binghan was also shocked. Although he planned everything secretly, he never expected that the chief would summon Leng Yunyi and even ask him to accompany him on the southern tour. This was really a miracle.

What a big unexpected surprise. He was so happy that he hugged his dad and jumped up and down.

Wang Peiyuan was even more happy that Leng Yunyi had such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. That night, in order to celebrate, both of them got very drunk.

Two days later, Leng Yunyi followed the chief on the special train for the southern tour with the envious eyes of all the officials. Following the chief's thoughts, Leng Yunyi slowly expanded his eyes to the whole country and the world. From then on, he was like a wild horse running wild.

, galloping quickly on the road ahead.
