The Corrupt Life of the Great Lascivious Rascal and Rogue Chen Zaidao (Part One)
Chen Zaidao not only frantically opposed Chairman Mao, Vice Chairman Lin, and the great Mao Zedong Thought, but also brutally suppressed the proletarian Cultural Revolution. Moreover, his lifestyle was extremely corrupt. He was a habitual rogue, licentious and shameless, doing as he pleased, living luxuriously. He was a notorious lascivious rogue, a bourgeois politician.
(1) Shameless Licentiousness and Rogue Behavior
Chen Zaidao was a rogue from a young age, neglecting proper work, abusing his authority to flirt with women, and even forcing people to death.
This old bastard Chen Zaidao was not a person at all, but a beast. For a long time, he used his position to indulge in sexual misconduct with women and do as he pleased. According to incomplete statistics, he had sexually assaulted about thirty or forty young women.
In 1962, Chen Damazi went to Beijing for a meeting and stayed at the Sanmen Gate Guesthouse. When he was about to give an injection to a nurse named XXX, his beastly nature was aroused, and he assaulted her. Another time, he called nurse Sun XX from X Hospital to his room, locked the door, and what happened can be imagined. Another time, he lured Li XX, the female leader of the Wuhan Arts Troupe, into Binjiang Hotel and assaulted her.
On the afternoon of May 21, 1962, Chen Damazi summoned three young girls (these girls worked in the Victory Art Troupe, the Army General Hospital, and the Hubei Wuchang Hejia Long Outpatient Department, the oldest being 18) into his office, dismissed the attendants, and ordered the three girls to strip completely. They dared not refuse and took off their clothes entirely. Then he vented his beastly nature on the sofa. These three girls were assaulted by him four times in succession.
In 1964, during a martial arts competition in Henan, he lost control of his beastly instincts, and under the pretext of watching a show, insulted the wife of the deputy political commissar of the XXX artillery school. Another time, during a meeting in Beijing at the Sanmen Gate Guesthouse, Chen wanted a nurse to accompany him for an injection. While administering the injection, he insulted the nurse. The nurse resisted and was not raped.
In 1960, during an expanded party committee meeting at Hongshan Hotel, Chen teased the injection nurse XXX repeatedly, demanding a sexual relationship, which was firmly rejected. Still, he did not give up and often harassed her afterward, even explicitly requesting her transfer to the Chagang Medical Office.
In spring 1962, a certain drama troupe was touring in Guangzhou. One night, Zhang XX, director of the Guangzhou Military Region Club, invited some female comrades from the troupe to dance with him, and asked a party member to join. During the noon meeting, all senior leaders were present. The troupe’s two female comrades told XX: “Commander Chen wants us to go to his place to play tonight,” and they refused immediately.
The next day, the troupe leader and party branch secretary, XX, said: “Chen Zaidao, this old lecher, is incurably sick. Last night, when he danced with our female comrades, he said: ‘If she divorces, I will marry her.’ What kind of talk is that? He also said: ‘Dancing should be with a waist-thin girl, then it looks better and feels more comfortable…’ Truly vulgar!”
(2) Tolerating Thugs and Raping Honest Women
Chen Zaidao not only personally assaulted women but also protected and tolerated his trusted thugs to commit rape, forming a lecherous group centered around him.
In summer 1962, Chen Zaidao went to Guangzhou for inspection work and stayed overnight at a certain unit. That night, platoon leader Zhang XX took the opportunity to rape a bathing female health worker, XX. The woman cried and reported the incident afterward. Instead of investigating Zhang, Chen Zaidao said: “What are you doing with this ‘virgin worship’ nonsense? Women have physiological needs too!” He used such shameless words to exonerate the thug. The woman was devastated, almost collapsing mentally, and soon transferred out of the unit, disappearing from public view.
Even worse, his trusted drivers, guards, and others around him were also corrupted and adopted hooligan habits. Chen openly promoted the idea that “military life should be lively,” and that “leaders should take care of needs,” even openly saying, “Which man doesn’t like beautiful women? I don’t oppose catching counter-revolutionaries, but don’t catch prostitutes!” His vulgar tastes and bourgeois gangster mentality are evident.
(3) Extravagant Waste and Luxury Living
Chen Zaidao was not only morally corrupt and licentious but also spent extravagantly, living a decadent bourgeois life of drunkenness and luxury.
According to disclosures, whenever Chen traveled on official business, he demanded “special aircraft transportation,” stayed only at “high-grade guesthouses,” and insisted on “exquisite and refined” food. During an inspection in a certain military region, he even demanded “abalone and sea cucumber for meals,” and ordered the Air Force to send a plane from Guangzhou to transport a batch of “seafood,” costing hundreds of yuan just for one meal, which was outrageous.
In his daily life, his toothbrush, soap, towels, underwear, socks, etc., were all designated as “high-end supplies.” His leather shoes were custom-made, his watch was a Swiss brand, and even his handkerchiefs were embroidered with lace by special workers. His rooms were decorated uniformly in a “style,” resembling palace interiors, with bed sheets, quilts, curtains, carpets, and wall paintings all coordinated. His study was elaborately decorated with antiques and paintings, exuding bourgeois atmosphere. His wife and children also lived a “noble life,” riding in small cars, shopping without spending money, residing in villas, and being served by dedicated staff.
A cadre from the political department of a certain military region reported: “Every time Chen Zaidao comes, the entertainment expenses increase fivefold. We’ve been working for decades and have never seen a leader who spends like him and dares to spend like that!” Chen shamelessly treated the people’s hard-earned money as a source of personal luxury, severely corrupting the party’s style and military discipline.
(4) Protecting Relatives and Nepotism
Chen Zaidao not only was corrupt and degenerate himself but also practiced a family-based system, shielding relatives, placing trusted cronies, and turning the military into his personal family kingdom.
His wife was irresponsible but held important positions within the military for a long time, engaging in “women’s political power,” interfering in command and personnel decisions everywhere. Chen not only tolerated but also deliberately supported her interference in military affairs and suppression of dissent. His wife once angrily declared inside the military: “This is my Chen’s world, I call the shots!” Military officers privately said: “We dare not offend Commander Chen, afraid of offending his wife too.”
Chen also arranged his relatives in logistics, arts troupes, and political organs. His nephews and nieces roamed arrogantly within the army, abusing their power for personal gain. His trusted associates Wang and Li, among others, became his spies in key departments, forming a corrupt interest group. He retaliated against honest officers who criticized him, even transferring, demoting, or secretly persecuting them. Many upright soldiers suffered humiliation and felt indignant.
Chen Zaidao severely violated party and military discipline, turning the army into a chaotic mess. His “little court” became a nest of extreme individualism and bureaucratism.
(5) Opposing Chairman Mao’s Revolutionary Line and Frantically Sabotaging the Cultural Revolution
Chen Zaidao, a counter-revolutionary double-dealer and ambitious man, always hated Chairman Mao and Mao’s revolutionary line. On the surface, he hypocritically shouted “Closely follow Chairman Mao,” but secretly, he was fiercely opposing Mao’s revolutionary line, doing everything possible to sabotage the proletarian Cultural Revolution, opposing the broad revolutionary masses, and suppressing revolutionary leftists.
In the early stages of the Cultural Revolution, he vigorously protected the revisionists and counter-revolutionaries exposed and criticized by the masses, branding revolutionary masses as “counter-revolutionary organizations,” and treating the Red Guards as “enemies,” carrying out brutal suppression. He colluded with traitors and spies, organized armed thugs, and committed numerous bloody atrocities against revolutionary masses, even ordering armed forces to deploy tanks, machine guns, and submachine guns to suppress unarmed Red Guards and revolutionaries.
Chen Zaidao orchestrated the infamous “July 20th” incident in Wuhan, a particularly heinous anti-revolutionary armed coup during the Cultural Revolution. He colluded with bourgeois reactionaries like Wang Renhong and Liu Feng, mobilized troops, and launched a frenzied crackdown on revolutionaries, attempting to kill the proletarian Cultural Revolution. After his defeat, he remained unrepentant, stubbornly resisting and opposing the central authorities.
(6) Background, Family, and Historical Issues Full of Darkness
Chen Zaidao came from a landlord family, a typical exploitative class member. In his early years, he was lawless, indulging in drinking, gambling, and vice, committing all sorts of evil. He relied on opportunism and flattery to join the revolutionary ranks and infiltrate the Communist Party, but he never truly transformed his bourgeois worldview.
During the revolutionary war, he disobeyed central directives, acted hypocritically, and secretly opposed Mao’s strategies and tactics; during the land revolution, he sheltered landlords and oppressed poor peasants; during the Anti-Japanese War, he was passive in resisting Japan, expanding his own influence and forming small cliques; during the Liberation War, he sought pleasure and ignored the lives of the masses, causing unnecessary sacrifices. Historically, he was already a marginal figure, but his skill in flattering and forming factions allowed him to rise step by step to high positions.
When the Cultural Revolution began, he revealed his true nature, fiercely opposing Chairman Mao and the revolution. He not only protected the capitalist-roaders but also secretly colluded with American and Chiang Kai-shek spies, attempting to instigate counter-revolutionary coups. During mass movements, he manipulated reactionary organizations like the “Million Heroes,” bloody suppressing revolutionary masses, creating countless bloody incidents beyond count.
(7) Public Outrage and Determination to Completely Defeat Him
Chen Zaidao’s heinous crimes have long aroused immense indignation among the broad revolutionary masses. The masses denounced him as a “Red Kuomintang,” a faithful running dog of the “Liu-Deng line” within the army, a “new warlord” riding on the people’s heads, indulging and devouring.
Some angry denunciations include:
“Chen Zaidao is like a wolf dressed in red skin, with a revolutionary appearance on the outside but rotten inside. He is no longer a Communist!”
The broad revolutionary masses solemnly declare their resolute response to Chairman Mao’s great strategic deployment, to closely follow the Central Cultural Revolution, and to thoroughly purge Chen Zaidao’s bourgeois reactionary line, smashing his black network within the military, exposing his conspiracy to restore the bourgeoisie.
The Cultural Revolution is a revolution that touches the soul of the people. It not only aims to overthrow Liu Shaoqi, Deng Xiaoping, Tao Zhu, Peng Zhen and other reactionary elements but also to purge hidden enemies like Chen Zaidao who have infiltrated the Party and military.
Today, we expose Chen Zaidao not only to criticize and destroy him but also to draw profound lessons from his issues:
- Never let bad elements infiltrate the Party and the military to occupy key positions;
- Be vigilant against double-dealers who disguise themselves as revolutionaries;
- Conduct deep and sustained ideological struggle to eliminate all bourgeois influences;
- Always hold high the great red banner of Mao Zedong Thought and persist in the line of continuing revolution under the dictatorship of the proletariat!
Down with the great lascivious rogue Chen Zaidao!
Thoroughly purge his heinous crimes!
Carry the proletarian Cultural Revolution through to the end!
