The four clean-ups are over.

"Launching the' Cultural Revolution' is closely linked to the' Four Clean-ups' movement, not personal grievances. After the "Article 23" was issued to the whole party, it did not produce "immediate" and "vigorous" effects. Instead, it became more indifferent and could not continue. This is because many formulations of the "four clean-ups" movement have changed. The "four clean-ups" group and the broad masses of cadres and people from the central government to the local government do not understand what the "inner-party capitalist roaders" mean, who they refer to and how to "clean up politics" and "clean up ideas". Everyone was at a loss and worried, for fear of making mistakes and making "anti-Party" mistakes. Rural areas and factories can't be opened, even the literary and art circles directly involved by Jiang Qing can't be opened, and "Hai Rui dismissed from office" can't be approved. Chairman Mao has never felt so lost, unwilling and angry. He rebuked the Beijing Municipal Committee for being "needled and splashed with water", the Ministry of Culture for being a "gifted scholar and beautiful woman department" and the Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China for being a "palace of hell", and directly accused the front-line comrades of the Central Committee of being ineffective in leadership, right-leaning and conservative, and even deliberately shielding and resisting.

Lin Biao, Kang Sheng and Chen Boda, who have always been fond of peeping and pondering Chairman Mao's worries, have already seen it in their eyes and tried their best to win over Jiang Qing to reach a deal. Lin Biao helped Jiang Qing open the gap in literary and art circles from the army, making Shu Jiangqing a national "literary standard bearer"; Kang Sheng, on the other hand, sensitively found that Nie and others had a lot to do with the dissatisfaction of the Lieutenant Colonel Party Committee of the "Four Clean-ups" movement in Peking University, and formulated the strategy of "starting from Peking University and making it upward", completely avoiding comrades Zhou and Xiaoping who presided over the central work in the front line, and sent Kang Sheng's wife to Peking University to directly instigate their rebellion against the school and the Beijing Municipal Committee, posting strong posters, which shocked the central high-level. Comrade Liu Shaoqi, Premier Zhou and Comrade Xiaoping all supported the new Beijing Municipal Committee, stressing that "the Party has discipline and national laws" and "there are differences inside and outside". The Central Cultural Revolution Group, headed by Kang Sheng, was extremely dissatisfied with Comrade Liu Shaoqi's statement, secretly wrote a letter to complain to Chairman Mao, and sent the posters in the name of "top secret". 1 June, 9661day, Chairman Mao agreed to broadcast Nie's posters to the whole country and the world. Lin Biao, Jiang Qing, Kang Sheng and Chen Boda deliberately ignited this movement in the name of "Chairman Mao personally launched it". In the end, the school was taken as the breakthrough, the student movement was taken as a "good form", and the "Cultural Revolution" was ignited and flourished under the instigation of inflammatory slogans such as "sweeping away all kinds of monsters". After asking Chairman Mao for instructions, Comrade Liu Shaoqi presided over an enlarged meeting of the Politburo Standing Committee to discuss countermeasures. With the consent of Chairman Mao, he decided to send a working group to control chaos and maintain social stability. However, the Central Cultural Revolution Group headed by Kang Sheng encouraged rebellious students to resist and set off a wave of anti-trade unions. The direct contradiction between Comrade Liu Shaoqi and Comrade Xiaoping, and between Kang Sheng and Chen Boda has rapidly intensified. The Cultural Revolution broke out in an all-round way.
