In 1974, the first marshal found Xiong Xianghui, and before the main topic of the conversation was unfolded, Xiong Xianghui asked eagerly: "What has the prime minister been busy with lately?"After listening to Xiong Xianghui's question, he sighed. With a heavy expression on his face, he told Xiong Xianghui: "I found out that the prime minister was sick two years ago, but he insisted on working, and now he really can't hold on, **and*** have decided to hospitalize him**."
Although he did not talk in detail about the condition of *** and the situation of the hospital, Xiong Xianghui was keenly aware that his condition was already quite serious. Xiong Xianghui is an outstanding general on the hidden front of the CCP, and *** must be an important guide in his legendary life. Xiong Xianghui's legendary experience has been widely praised. By the side of Hu Zongnan of the Kuomintang, he was engaged in secret intelligence work for more than ten years, and he even praised him as "one person can top several divisions".
And the reason why Xiong Xianghui went to Hu Zongnan's side was to follow the instructions of ***. In 1943, the two met secretly in Xi'an, ** clasped his hand and said: "Over the years, you have worked hard. *'s care made Xiong Xianghui cry uncontrollably, and when he was leaving, ** told him: "I won't send you, see you after victory!."In 1947, when Hu Zongnan planned to attack Yan'an, Xiong Xianghui conveyed Hu Zongnan's battle plan to ** in time, which made Hu Zongnan's hundreds of thousands of troops fall short.
In 1949, the revolution was victorious, Xiong Xianghui was finally able to return to the party organization openly, he was very happy to see *** again, praised him and said: "In our party's intelligence work, Li Kenong, Qian Zhuangfei, and Hu Di can be said to be the 'top three heroes', and you, Chen Zhongjing, and Shen Jian can be said to be the 'last three masters'." So I say this because you all contribute to the defense of ***. ** I envisioned that if a medal was issued, it would be given to you.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, ** personally invited Xiong Xianghui to Zhongnanhai, and his former friends in the Kuomintang Zhang Zhi were very surprised to see Xiong Xianghui. ** Reintroduced to everyone: "He is not a mutiny, but has returned to our side. He had been a member of the Communist Party since 1936. Since then, Xiong Xianghui has also been able to devote himself to the construction of New China with peace of mind.
Xiong Xianghui: ** confidant of his diplomatic career, not only experienced the thrilling years of secret struggle, but also walked side by side with *** on the diplomatic stage of New China. During his tenure as deputy director of the Information Department and assistant to the prime minister, Xiong Xianghui received personal guidance. However, he was also criticized. In 1960, Xiong Xianghui left Beijing with British Field Marshal Montgomery to visit other places.
In Luoyang, Henan, Xiong Xianghui accompanied Montgomery to watch the Henan opera "Mu Guiying in Command", but was questioned by Montgomery: "How to let a woman be a marshal!."Xiong Xianghui tried to explain, but was reprimanded more severely by Montgomery, saying that men who like this kind of drama are not real men, and women who like women to be marshals are not real women. Xiong Xianghui did not flinch, and directly retorted: "The Queen of England is also a woman. The scene silenced Montgomery.
Although Xiong Xianghui had the upper hand at that time, the matter reached the ears of ***. ** Criticized him harshly: "You went too far!".It is enough to tell the guest that this is a folk legend, why should he refute him if he has an opinion. After so many years of diplomatic work, you still don't know how to seek common ground while reserving differencesThese words made Xiong Xianghui feel deeply alert and realize his mistake. In his subsequent dealings with Montgomery, he changed his attitude in time to avoid greater repercussions.
Xiong Xianghui remembered the teachings of *** and avoided the recurrence of similar mistakes. However, the harsh criticism of ** undoubtedly made him make greater progress. In the seventies of the last century, **'s condition worsened, and Xiong Xianghui has always been concerned. Especially after learning about the situation from Marshal ***, he was even more worried.
The next day, September 30, Xiong Xianghui received an invitation with the words "**'s name:" To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a reception will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the banquet hall of the Great Hall of the People on September 30, 1974 (Monday). Despite his physical discomfort, Xiong Xianghui decided to attend the reception, eager to see the prime minister he often missed.
He arrived at the banquet hall of the Great Hall of the People early and found that many people had gathered, and by nearly seven o'clock, the guests had almost arrived. One of the focal points was the heated debate about whether there would be a prime minister tonightThere was a rumor that "the prime minister is not in good health and may not be able to come." But there are also those who claim: "The invitation is indeed sent in the name of the prime minister, and he will definitely come." Xiong Xianghui naturally expects things to turn towards the latter. The banquet started on time, and the figure of ** appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall.
Although he had not yet walked to the front, the seated guests spontaneously stood up and applauded enthusiastically, and the people shouted in tacit agreement: "* There is a mixture of exclamations that the Prime Minister has lost weight, lost a lot of weight." Through the crowd, Xiong Xianghui caught a glimpse of *** He approached and waved to everyone present with a smile on his face. ** Still wearing the familiar gray tunic, but he looks much thinner, much more decadent, and walks much slower than before.
Walking from the entrance to the guest of honor, people's joy and excitement could not be calmed down, and many people even applauded with tears in their eyes to welcome the arrival of ***. The most nervous people present were the medical staff and security personnel, who were already in a serious condition, and they were worried that excessive excitement and fatigue might have a more adverse impact on the condition. When the host announced that *** would speak, applause rang out again.
**The speech was not long, and after every sentence, the crowd began to applaud, and the applause time far exceeded the speech time during the whole speech. During the banquet, everyone was invited to raise a glass together, and people raised their glasses and wished *** good health. The arrival of ** made all the guests rejoice. Xiong Xianghui didn't have the opportunity to communicate with *** more, after the reception, he squeezed through the crowd, hoping to pay more attention to *** and at this time, ** waved his hand frequently and left with the sick body.
People at the time did not know that this would be the last time *** hosted the National Day reception. Xiong Xianghui didn't know that this would be the last time he would hear *** speak and the last time he would see ***'s face before his death. On January 8, 1976, the ** Prime Minister left forever, Xiong Xianghui was sad!If you like this article, please follow to get more real and moving historical stories!
