吴佩孚是我国近代史上有名的北洋直系军阀的首领之一,是洛派的总头目。对他的晚年应该如何评价?长期以来,由于极左思潮的影响,人们似乎习惯了形而上学的思维方法。凡属反面人物、反动人物,总是“头顶生疮,脚板流脓—从头坏到脚”,一概否定;即使在党的十一届三中全会之后,有的同志在近代史研究和教学中涉及吴佩孚晚年评价问题,仍持完全否定态度。笔者认为,这是一个值得深入探讨和研究的问题。倘若 Wu Peifu is one of the leaders of the famous direct military warlord in the history of our country and the chief of the Los camp. How to evaluate his later years? For a long time, due to the ultra-leftist influence, people seem to be accustomed to the metaphysical way of thinking.

The author believes that this is a problem worthy of in-depth discussion and research. if
