Guan Feng met Kang Sheng while working in China * * * Shandong Branch, and gradually gained the appreciation of Kang Sheng. From 65438 to 0956, on the recommendation of Kang Sheng and others, Guan Feng was seconded to Beijing to work in the Central Political Research Office. The Central Political Research Office is a senior research, consulting and staff office established by the Central Committee. It is not only the central think tank, but also the pen of the central government. At that time, those who worked in the Central Political Research Office were great men with profound theoretical attainments and rich political experience, such as Chen Boda, Ai Siqi, Hu Sheng, Tian Jiaying and others.
1957, China's * * * production party launched a political campaign against the Rightists. At the beginning of the anti-rightist movement, Guan Feng, who worked in the Political Research Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, naturally knew the launching and development of the anti-rightist movement like the back of his hand, and he also knew more about the changing process of Mao Zedong Thought. Guan Feng collected and sorted out the so-called right-wing attacks on the * * * production party and the socialist system, and promptly reported them to the central leadership for reference. At the same time, he also wrote an article against the Rightists, which was published by China Youth Daily. 1957 The article "Refuting the so-called' all leading classes have limitations'" published by China Youth Daily on August 26th is a heavy article to counter the Rightists. After the anti-rightist struggle, Guan Feng, together with Yao and Wang Li, became a "left-wing rookie" and was officially transferred to the central government.
1958, Guan Feng was transferred to Red Flag magazine to edit Trends in Thought and Theory for Mao Zedong. Guan Feng's materials and articles are highly valued by Mao Zedong. Chen Boda, who is in charge of Red Flag magazine, also appreciates Guan Feng. Soon, Guan Feng was appointed as the editorial board of Red Flag magazine.
1958, Guan Feng published an article entitled "the research direction of China's philosophy history" in Guangming Daily. He proposed to use Mao Zedong Thought to guide the study of the history of China's philosophy. Mao Zedong saw this article, praised Guan Feng's point of view, and wrote a comment on writing beside this article. Subsequently, Guan Feng began to criticize Yang's theory of "combining two into one". Guan Feng believes that Yang's view is to deny the law of unity of opposites, but politically it is to deny class struggle and engage in class reconciliation. As a result, Mao Zedong increased his affection for Guan Feng.
When publishing articles, Guan Feng often uses pseudonyms such as "Qingyun" and "He Ming".
