Why did Peng insist on not taking a photo with Peng Zhen?

Peng heard that Peng Zhen and others were going to meet all the staff attending the meeting of the Third Line Construction Committee and take a group photo with them, so when everyone lined up, they quietly left alone and returned to the meeting room.

The comrades in charge of the meeting found Peng and mobilized him to take a group photo outside.

Peng painfully shook his head and refused.

Comrades attending the meeting were in a hurry and mobilized again and again.

Peng said to him, Let's go, don't delay comrades.

After a while, a responsible comrade of the Southwest Bureau came to mobilize again, but Peng refused.

There were four rows of people taking photos, including several leaders such as Peng Zhen, who were waiting hard.

Peng still refuses to take pictures.

There is no choice but to press the shutter.

Peng Zhen returned to Beijing the day after taking a group photo.

A few days later, a part of the photo was just developed, and suddenly I received an internal notice saying that the photo of Peng Zhen and others stopped printing immediately.

Peng is very sad, but also very pleased that he can't take a photo with his comrades who work together. He has a keen sense of the upcoming storm after the approval of "Harry Dismissed from Office", and he doesn't want to involve more kind people because of a group photo. Imagine how many innocent people would be implicated in this photo if Peng were Harry during the Cultural Revolution!

On the afternoon of May Day, Peng went to the conference room of the Third Line Construction Committee to read the newspaper. He opened the Sichuan Daily that day and saw that among the party and state leaders who boarded the Tiananmen Gate, Peng Zhen, a key figure, was missing.
