In 1998, an elderly man who was nearly 90 years old was lying on a hospital bed, his eyes always staring out the door, and his mouth kept muttering, "Don't tell Liu Yuan." This old man is Yang Shangkun, who was admitted to the hospital in June 1998 due to the aggravation of his condition**. However, on September 1, the hospital announced that he was in critical condition, and ** leaders came to visit him after hearing the news. Although Yang Shangkun was weak and unconscious, he still did not forget to remind the people who came to visit him not to tell Liu Yuan about his hospitalization. So, why did Yang Shangkun do this?Where was Liu Yuan at that time?
Yang Shangkun, a native of Sichuan, participated in revolutionary activities at an early age and was nurtured by his family. He was extremely serious about his studies, and in 1930, with his own efforts, he was admitted to the Soviet Research Institute and began his study abroad career. There, he met *** and the two formed a deep friendship. ** Traveling to the USSR to attend an international conference of delegates and serving as a member of the Executive Board required two years of service in the USSR, despite the lack of a right-hand man. coincided with Yang Shangkun's work in the local area, so he was sent by the organization to assist *** The two started their first cooperation.
**Have joined the party, have rich work experience, be calm, humble and sociable. Yang Shangkun was encouraged to work beside him. After Yang Shangkun returned to China after completing his studies, he was sent to Shanghai to work in the Federation of Trade Unions. At that time, Shanghai was in the depths of the White Terror and full of dangers, but Yang Shangkun did not flinch, insisted on expanding the size of the union, and tried his best to protect it from the enemy. After the 918 Incident, ** transferred Yang Shangkun to ***'s side again to jointly carry out the anti-Japanese national salvation movement.
In 1932, Yang Shangkun and *** advocated the anti-Japanese salvation movement, called on the people of the whole country to boycott Japanese goods, and organized strikes, school boycotts and market boycotts. The two also gave porridge and food relief to the refugees, preached the idea of national salvation, and called on the people to donate money for the anti-Japanese resistance. This movement not only expanded the influence of the party, but also demonstrated the strength of our party. ** The work of Yang Shangkun and others was highly praised and affirmed. At the same time, Soong Ching-ling also donated a large sum of money to our party's anti-Japanese movement, providing it with tremendous support.
After careful consideration, Yang Shangkun decided to accept the payment, but was opposed by some people. However, at this critical moment, ** stepped forward to support Yang Shangkun's decision. Before the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1937, the Japanese army conducted frequent exercises in North China, which brought great pressure to the situation in North China. In order to strengthen its leadership over the north, our party sent Yang Shangkun to Taiyuan to jointly carry out anti-Japanese guerrilla warfare with ***. As soon as he arrived in Taiyuan, ** and Yang Shangkun began to work closely together.
**A new leadership team was established in the Northern Bureau, with himself as secretary and Yang Shangkun as deputy secretary. Their high degree of tacit understanding enabled the anti-Japanese forces to continue to strengthen and made great contributions to the anti-Japanese struggle. Because of this, Yang Shangkun and *** have maintained a close cooperative relationship for a long time, and the relationship between them is also very deep. So, why is Yang Shangkun reluctant to let others tell Liu Yuan about his condition?The reason is that after the death of ***, Yang Shangkun replaced his care for Liu Yuan and became Liu Yuan's father's replacement.
Especially when he suffered, Yang Shangkun provided a lot of help to his family, regardless of whether he might be implicated. This made Liu Yuan closer to Yang Shangkun and regarded him as his father. Since they are like father and son, why do they want to hide Liu Yuan's condition?Because Liu Yuan was busy with rescue and disaster relief work at that time, he did not want his illness to have any impact on his work.
