This event took place in Feixiang County, Hebei Province, in January 1982. Some people there who were seriously factionalist in their thinking and unbridled in their personal ambitions got together and, taking advantage of the election at a county Party congress of the leading body of the new county Party committee, drove out of office the incumbent committee secretary who adhered to the line of the Central Committee and ``elected'' a factionalist group to the leading posts -- which they did by establishing illicit secret contacts among themselves and employing other reprehensible tactics common during the ``cultural revolution''. Later, this event was sternly dealt with by the Hebei provincial Party committee in accordance with instructions from the Central Committee.
