To explore the road of development of mankind means constant error and error correction.The Communist countries have almost experienced large miscarriages of justice phenomenon in the International Communist movement. Lenin once said in the letter to the America workers after the October revolution:History is not Nevsky Avenue sidewalk, and there must be a circuitous twists and turns, or even to pay great sacrifices. The Chinese revolution and construction road under the leadership of the Communist Party of China is also full of arduous and tortuous. There are many miscarriages of justice phenomenon from the revolutionary war to the peace building period. There are many factors causing numerous miscarriages of justice from the historical perspective, and there has the special historical exploration for the Communist party of China whose revolutionary goal is the realization of communism, such as the guiding ideology of the "left" errors, the abuse of the highly centralized system, radical class struggle thought, and so on, which are the important causes. Mistakes are inevitable, but the key is how to correct errors and to prevent these errors occur again. From political parties, groups, to the national, state, all gradually mature in the understanding of error and correct the mistakes. It can be said that error correction is a landmark event of completing the adult ceremony. Cleaning up and correcting the historical miscarriages of justice is the most important political symbol of correction. Rehabilitating miscarriages of justice not only embodies the wisdom and determination to bring order out of chaos of the leadership group,but also shows the solemn attitude of being responsible for the history, and it is the just catch of political maturity, system perfection, the political life of the country towards democracy and the rule of law.In exploring the road of Chinese revolution and construction, the Communist Party of China corrected some mistakes, rehabilitated some miscarriages of justice, and gradually formed a set of error correction mechanism which concluded the cadre supervision system and the cadre examination system. However, the error correction system was not perfect due to the lag of construction of democracy, which led to many unsolved cases and the accumulation of a lot of new cases. Especially after the founding of new China, the party’s guiding ideology of the "left" errors and the continuous political movement resulted in the superposition error, the past cases not rehabilitated, new injustice caused, and finally led to the "Cultural Revolution". The "Cultural Revolution", which is no parallel in history, is the "left" line of play to the extreme. It destructed the imperfect democracy and legal system, and caused all social persecution mania. There were miscarriages of justice throughout the country as many as one hundred million people, up to the state president, down to the ordinary people. To solve the miscarriages of justice became the key of successfully historical turning point after the end of the "Cultural Revolution".After the death of Mao Zedong, as the successor of the Communist Chinese leader, Hua Guofeng and others took special measures, seized "Gang of four", whose core person was Jiang Qing. In order to realize the political situation of stability and unity, on the one hand, Hua Guofeng actively promoted the implementation of the cadre policy, and a group of veteran cadres returned to positions of leadership, which created the preconditions for the massive vindication miscarriages of justice. But on the other hand, Hua Guofeng also stressed the political legitimacy of his inheritance of Mao Zedong, which was the obstacle of correcting the large-scale mistakes in the late years of Mao Zedong. Besides, Wang Dongxing set barriers of the "two whatevers" to the vindication miscarriages of justice work.The turning point of history needs the just person. In the context of cold, Hu Yaobang served as the executive vice president of the Central Party School and then Minister of the Central Organization Department office, first sounded the clarion call of bringing order out of chaos, and promoted the massive vindication miscarriages of justice.Massive vindication miscarriages of justice was an important part of turning point of bringing order out of chaos.

Some major cases and important figures in the rehabilitation work were made several conclusions with the deepening of bringing order out of chaos. The completion of massive vindication miscarriages of justice has laid a solid political foundation for the Reform and Opening up.Hu Yaobang has played an important role in the vindication miscarriages of justice in the new history period.
