He is a great man of the millennium, and he combines morality, meritorious service, and speech. He was very knowledgeable, and he was able to navigate the past and the present;Full of economy, majestic to the world. He is also a master of language arts and has an outstanding linguistic acumen. He often simplifies complex problems, but also adopts the method of avoiding reality and fiction, answering questions in a roundabout way, resolving problems in humor, and achieving the goal of rejecting the other party, so as to avoid embarrassing the other party.
In late September 1947, he led the ** agency to northern Shaanxi and came to Shenquanbao in Jia County (now Jia County) in northern Shaanxi, where he lived for 57 days. The famous "Declaration of the People's Liberation Army of the Chinese" was drafted here, and the slogan "Down with Chiang Kai-shek and liberate all of China" was put forward for the first time, opening the prelude to the national strategic offensive.
Su Jingguan, a veteran Red Army cadre and director of the General Health Department of the Military Commission, came to Shenquanbao to report to **. Su Jing ** arrived at the rapid development of the situation, and the troops were in great need of political cadres, so they wanted to change their careers to do political work in the front-line troops. He first told *** what he thought, but *** didn't agree. Su Jingguan was unwilling, he still wanted to talk to Mao.
Su Jingguan came to the cave where he lived, first reported to the chairman the work of the hospital to treat the wounded, and then put forward a request for his own career change. ** Pondered for a moment and asked him if he had proposed this idea to Comrade Enlai
Su Jingguan replied truthfully and mentioned. But Comrade Enlai did not agree.
** Say, "Oh?".I agree. I give you the go-ahead to change careers after 60 years. ”
Su Jing smiled after hearing this. **I asked Su Jingguan how old he was. Su Jingguan replied that he was in his 40s.
** said: "So I said, it's not too late for you to change careers after 60 years." After he said this, he also laughed, and the *** Ren Bishi and others present also laughed. Su Jingguan laughed again with everyone's laughter.
** Then he told everyone about the situation of the war. "It seems that the war is going a little faster than we expected," he said. It's a good thing that the situation is moving fast, but it also brings a lot of new problems, such as if you want to change careers, isn't that a new problem?”
He then said earnestly: Our cadres should not only look at the present, but also think about the future and what to do after the national victory. He asked, "China is so big, there are so many diseases, so many people pray to God and Buddha, and the sanitary conditions are so poor, what should you do in your work?"Have you thought about it?”
Su Jingguan nodded and replied: The chairman is right, this is a problem that we should consider in medical treatment.
** He also asked Su Jingguan about the death of Xu Fanting in the northwest of Shanxi. Su Jingguan replied: "After Mr. Xu woke up in a coma, he said to the medical staff around him: 'It is a pity that he did not see Chiang Kai-shek being tried by the people before he died. After hearing this, his expression was solemn, and he said with great emotion: "This person has a lot of backbone, it's a pity." ”
Su Jingguan said goodbye to the leaders of Shenquan Fort and returned to his post. Before leaving, he said, "Okay now, my mind is solved." Later, he often used this sentence to educate other health cadres.
** Didn't directly put Su Jingguan's ideas back and criticize him. Instead, he used another way of expression, not using the blunt word "no" to express his rejection of Su Jingguan's change of career. Instead, he cleverly made a joke and tactfully refused, saving Su Jingguan's face.
Next, he made the reason clear and made people understand what they should do and what they should not do, so that people can consciously cancel their thoughts and achieve the purpose of refusal. Su Jingguan realized the importance of his work and accepted his suggestions or euphemistic criticisms convincingly. This method is more admirable than a blunt, explicit rejection.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, Su Jingguan served as the president of the Eighth Route Military Hospital and the director of the General Health Department of the Military Commission. When Hu Zongnan's troops invaded Yan'an, he transported the wounded and sick of his troops from Hexi to Hedong. During the crisis, he personally went to the Yellow River to organize the rush and did not rest for several days and nights. What he asks others to do, he does first. The people who work around him are in a good mood and make quick progress.
**Praise Su Jingguan: Your strength is to unite cadres.
During the period when the Communist Party led the Anti-Japanese War in Yan'an, many enthusiastic young people from all over the country came to Yan'an from all over the country to participate in the revolution. However, due to the excessive number of personnel, "more monks and less porridge", Yan'an's grain supply exceeded demand, and there was a tense situation. ** Mobilize these revolutionary youths to leave Yan'an and go to Luochuan, where food is more abundant. But most people still insisted on staying in Yan'an, ignoring the persuasion of the relevant parties.
**After knowing this, at a lecture at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, he explained the reason in detail and talked about it step by step. These hot-blooded youths happily accepted the ** suggestion and carried out the evacuation.
According to a young man who listened to *** this speech, recalled:
It was 1938, and one afternoon, we went to the main campus of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University to listen to a lecture. At three o'clock in the afternoon, ** came to the table, he smiled at everyone, and said in a loud voice: "Before class, let's talk about a 'little thing'." In recent days, many comrades have written letters and sent notes to ** and me, saying, 'We came to Yan'an after a lot of hardships, and when we came to ***, how can we be asked to leave as soon as we arrive here?'I'm right!'Many of the comrades also agreed with these comrades. However, there is such a person who disagrees and spouts all day long, who is this person?”
When the chairman said this, he deliberately sold a pass. Everyone looked at each other, thinking that there was such a person, but no one could guess who it was. The chairman paused, and then said humorously: "This person is 'Mr. Belly', that is, your belly Luo!."In a word, everyone laughed.
The Lord often went on to say, "Don't laugh at Luo, don't believe in trying, who would dare to compete with this 'Mr. Belly'!"In ancient China, there was a Taoist named Lao Tzu, who believed in this evil very much, he said, 'The people take food as the sky', I said that it is the first thing to eat!”
Just when everyone was listening attentively, the chairman suddenly pulled his words to the point: "The 'little thing' I want to talk about is to mobilize comrades to go to Luochuan to eat, eat to their heart's content, and solve the problem of 'Mr. Belly'. The so-called "food" is what the ancients called "food", that is, taking people to places where there is a lot of food to find food. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty says: 'I will suspend my troops in the northern province, and I will feed the land with grain to see its disadvantages. Today, we also learn from the practices of the ancients and mobilize comrades to go to Luochuan to 'eat'. Its purpose is to let everyone have enough to eat, study well, train well, and be ready to resist Japan. You say, 'Should you go?'”
Everyone replied in unison, "It's time to go!."It's time to go!We must go!”
** did not take the method of direct refusal, but used his eloquence skills, through witty and humorous storytelling techniques, to make everyone understand the difficulties of **, to skillfully refuse the request of these revolutionary young people to stay in Yan'an. In the end, it achieved the excellent effect of mobilizing them to go to Luochuan.
Among them, he did not let them leave with a straight face, but talked about the topic of "Mr. Belly", talked about Lao Tzu's famous saying "the people take food as the sky", and linked it to the historical "food", and used the original text in the "Book of the Later Han" to further explain the importance of going to Luochuan.
From this memory, we fully feel the contagion and charm of *** reasoning to induce rejection.
