The Lushan Conference in 1959 was a turning point in history for Peng Dehuai. At that moment of change, he bravely stood up and spoke for the people with a 3,700-word letter. However, this letter caused him to be wrongly criticized, and the trajectory of his life changed dramatically. But he did not give in because of this, but chose to work silently and continue to serve the people with practical actions.
After being ostracized, Peng Dehuai was arranged to go to the Wu Family Garden in Jiaotun, a northwestern suburb of Beijing. This became his new battlefield, and he personally cultivated the experimental field and went deep into the countryside to conduct research. He did this not only to prove his innocence, but also out of deep concern for the country and its people. He hopes to contribute to the development of rural areas through his own practical actions. He shuttles through the fields, interacting with farmers and understanding their needs and difficulties. During that time, Peng Dehuai seemed to have regained the sincerity and enthusiasm he had when he first joined the revolutionary ranks.
However, the haze of history has not completely dissipated. At a conference in 1962, Peng Dehuai was once again pushed to the forefront.

When relatives wanted to take pictures with him, he chose to watch quietly in his room. He said: "The children's expressions are very good, you guys take a snapshot!" I have a bad reputation right now and I don't want to influence them. These words reveal his love and protection for his children, and also reflect his helplessness and perseverance in his own situation.
In order to clarify his problem thoroughly, Peng Dehuai decided to write down a detailed document to defend himself. This is the famous document that came to be known as the Book of 80,000 Words. In this 80,000-word material, he reviews his life experience in detail and explains the merits. In blood and tears, he wrote a rebuttal of the charges imposed on him, expressing his anger and dissatisfaction with the absurd accusation of "colluding with foreign countries". This material is not only a summary and reflection of my life, but also a commitment and pursuit of truth and justice.
Although the Book of 80,000 Words did not immediately change Peng Dehuai's predicament at the time, it became a historical witness and valuable information. It allows people to see Peng Dehuai's unremitting pursuit of truth and firm belief in self-innocence. Although this 10,000-word book was erroneously characterized as one of the typical representatives of the style of overturning the case, in the eyes of later generations, it has become a powerful proof of Marshal Peng Dehuai's sincerity.
