Features: In May 1978, Hu Yaobang, the then Secretary of the Central Organization Department, addressed the issue of distinguishing and rectifying rightist, stating, "If they are wrong, then correct them." As a result, Wen Jize became one of the "rightists" who were rectified. Wen Jize joined the revolution at the age of 15 and has been known within the Party for his active thinking and willingness to speak the truth. He has spent time in both Nationalist prisons and the "Cultural Revolution" labor camps. He is also one of the three surviving witnesses to the Nanjing Uprising under the Li Sanli line, and at the request of Li Weihan, he played a significant role in the rectification of the Wang Shiwei case. This book is his heartfelt testimony and a witness to the turbulent events in the history of the CCP.
