History Will Vindicate Marshal Lin Biao

Have to leave right after the close, so market commentary is pushed to tonight. Putting up tonight's post first.

This topic has been discussed many times, but it must be said again. As in the seven-character regulated verse this ID wrote for Marshal Lin Biao, the neck couplet reads: "Having fought a hundred battles that shook heaven and earth, one night's solitary flight bewildered the ages." The first line needs no elaboration — anyone without bias acknowledges it. As for the second line, it seems beyond question, seems too much common knowledge. But the word "bewildered" — that should not last forever.

History will vindicate Marshal Lin Biao. A marshal who swept across ten thousand li for the founding of New China would not have betrayed his country. There's no need to say more. The only proposition that can be stated in the most concise language is this: Marshal Lin Biao had already ceased to exist by the time he boarded the plane.

A marshal's existence, like any person's existence, first requires being a living person. Anyone, regardless of who they are, once they are no longer a living person, that person has ceased to exist. This is a truth no one can refute. Only a living person can commit treason — this is equally irrefutable. "Marshal Lin Biao had already ceased to exist by the time he boarded the plane" — is this not simply history?

This ID has never believed in any morally saintly figure. History will eventually expose every one of those moral saints for what they truly are. The story of Yuan Chonghuan was not an isolated incident in history. History will vindicate Marshal Lin Biao. The fog of history will one day finally lift.

Marshal Lin Biao, rest in peace.
