Rehabilitation of Liu Shaoqi. Part Three

The process culminated in the rehabilitation of former Vice Chairman of the CPC Central Committee and Chairman of the People's Republic of China Liu Shaoqi. For a long time after the defeat of the "four", Wang Dongxing and Ji Denkui consistently opposed the rehabilitation of Liu Shaoqi on the grounds that the decision to institute proceedings against him was made by Mao Zedong himself.

This issue could not be raised until the 3rd plenum, as it directly concerned the role of Mao Zedong in the "cultural revolution" and was a taboo topic. But in February 1979, the Central Committee decided to re-investigate Liu Shaoqi's personal case, assigning this task to the Central Committee and the Central Committee's organizational department. Already in March, the organizing department concluded that Liu Shaoqi's wife Wang Guangmei was innocent. After that, by the decision of the Henan Party Committee, Liu Shaoqi's ashes were transported from Kaifeng to Zhengzhou, and a report was sent to the Central Committee on the circumstances of his death and the search for ashes. In November 1979, after a joint study by the CCPD group and the Central Committee's organizational department, it was recognized that the "Report on the investigation of the crimes of renegade, provocateur, strikebreaker Liu Shaoqi" was prepared by Jiang Qing, Kang Sheng and Xie Fuzhi based on false accusations. Despite Wang Dongxing's strong opposition, Deng Xiaoping, Chen Yun, Ye Jianying, and Li Xiannian managed to convince Hua Guofeng to agree in principle to Liu Shaoqi's rehabilitation. In addition, the PB and the Military Council of the CPC Central Committee instructed Hu Yaobang, Deng Yingchao, Huang Kecheng and Wei Guoqing to conduct individual work and talk with those members of the Central Committee who opposed the rehabilitation of Liu Shaoqi.

In addition, at the suggestion of Deng Xiaoping and Chen Yun, Hu Yaobang, Hu Qiaomu, and Song Renqiong prepared a draft "On some norms of internal party life," which pointed out the need to approach the review of cases "regardless of the organizations of what rank and level, which leaders they were approved by." After that, at a meeting of the CCPD held on January 7-25, 1980, the case of Liu Shaoqi was reviewed and all necessary conditions for his rehabilitation were prepared.

At a staff meeting on January 16, 1980 Deng Xiaoping said that during the review of cases, more than 2.9 million people were rehabilitated, and even more had their good name restored. He also announced the upcoming rehabilitation of Liu Shaoqi, whom he called "a great Marxist, a fighter for the victory of communism, a proletarian revolutionary." On February 12, at the National Meeting of Drama Workers, Hu Yaobang said that Liu Shaoqi is not a renegade and a strikebreaker, he is one of the prominent party and government figures in China.
