[Epoch Times June 16, 2021](Epoch Times reporter Lin Yan compiled a report) Didn’t Mao Zedong’s eldest son Mao Anying really die of a bowl of egg fried rice? The Wall Street Journal disclosed on Tuesday (June 15) the inside story of Xi Jinping’s movement to tamper with Chinese history to commemorate the centenary of the founding of the party.
“Hua Ri” also quoted a source familiar with the CCP’s propaganda activities as saying that the celebration ceremony held in Beijing in July will elevate the CCP’s propaganda to the top. At that time, Xi Jinping will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the party in the form of a speech and present his personal achievements. Described as the cornerstone of China’s new historical era.
According to legend, Mao Anying died in a United Nations air strike during the Korean War because he fired a bowl of fried rice with eggs and was shot and killed after cooking smoke exposed his position.
The Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping established the Chinese Academy of History two years ago in an attempt to refute and bleach negative views on the ruling Communist Party’s past, including tampering with the story of egg-fried rice.
Last November, on the 70th anniversary of Mao Anying’s death, the Chinese Academy of History provided another version of the story. It quoted declassified telegrams and witnesses, saying that Mao Anying was killed after the enemy discovered the radio signal of its command.
Set up a history research institute system to falsify history
The Chinese Academy of History was established on January 3, 2019. It is officially affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the highest national think tank of the Chinese Communist Party. The 57-year-old Qing historian Gao Xiang concurrently serves as the dean. He is the deputy secretary and deputy dean of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
In his early years, Gao Xiang taught at the Qing History Department of Renmin University of China. He joined the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in 1996. In 2016, he “airborne” as a member of the Standing Committee of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee, Minister of the Propaganda Department, and concurrently chairman of the Fujian Provincial Federation of Social Sciences.
Before the end of 2017, Gao Xiang returned to Beijing to serve as deputy director of the Central Cyberspace Affairs Office. In November 2018, Gao Xiang returned to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences as vice president and member of the party group.
In less than two months, he became the dean of the newly established Chinese Academy of History. Gao Xiang himself is good at combining traditional academic research with modern marketing techniques and repacking the past history to support Xi Jinping’s vision of reviving China.
Gao Xiang has never been a traditional historian. “Historical researchers cannot be cold-eyed bystanders of the trend of the times,” he wrote in a comment published in the People’s Daily at the end of 2019. “History research should stand on the commanding heights of the times” and give play to “the role of government and educating people.”
The position of the institute is to conduct academic propaganda on the history of the Chinese Communist Party. His official information self-report, undertook to coordinate and guide the national historical research work, integrate resources and strengths to formulate a new era Chinese historical research plan, organize the implementation of major national projects, teach Chinese history, and disseminate Chinese culture.
This is part of a project that Xi Jinping promoted ahead of time for the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party to “distort history”.
Some Chinese historians criticized the research results of the Chinese Academy of History, believing that they are not dignified and serious; they are distorting history and serving politics.
A well-known history professor in Beijing said: “They are not on the academic path. These people do this to gain favor and win promotion.”
He said that he rejected the college’s invitation to cooperate on a project.
Expert: Xi Jinping hopes to keep the party as famous as Mao and Deng
Xi Jinping hopes to be re-elected as the third general secretary. He hopes to concentrate power in his own hands and strengthen the party’s control over society, including by rewriting historical narratives to beautify the Communist Party’s rule.
The Communist Party of China, like the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, has a record of tampering with history. For example, the photos were modified to highlight the leaders or the officials who were checked out in the photos were deleted. Historical readings and museums have been rearranged to accommodate new publicity issues.
Before the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping had been working hard to build what he called the “correct view of history”-this was a milestone moment for his so-called “Chinese Dream” of national rejuvenation, and an opportunity to consolidate his legacy as a great leader. It is expected to be as famous as Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping.
Gao Wenqian, formerly of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and currently living in the United States, said: “(Xi Jinping’s) goal is to ensure the survival of the party and strengthen personal rule when the global landscape changes drastically.”
“Hua Ri” quoted a source familiar with the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda activities as saying that the ceremonies held in Beijing in July will raise this kind of fanfare to the top. At that time, Xi Jinping will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the party in the form of a speech, and give his personal information. Achievements are described as the cornerstone of China’s new historical era.
Xi Jinping is the second generation of Hong Kong and the son of Xi Zhongxun. He has always emphasized the importance of controlling the narrative history.
In January 2013, after only a few weeks as the general secretary of the Communist Party of China, he urged senior officials to prevent hostile forces from overthrowing the party by smearing the party’s history.
