At the beginning of 1981, the chairman was under heavy pressure and had resigned as prime minister and remained chairman. However, he began to turn his focus to life, living in seclusion and rarely being seen. President Hua has always put the overall situation first, and although he is depressed, he still considers the overall direction of the country's work, so not attending public occasions is not only for personal reasons, but also for the sake of the overall situation. On Chinese New Year's Eve in 1981, ** planned to hold a state banquet and send an invitation letter to the chairman. It is not surprising that Chairman Hua did not care and habitually declined, which happened several times in more than half a year. Feeling resolute, *** had no choice but to find Deng Yingchao, hoping that she would persuade *** to attend. Deng Yingchao, as the widow of ***, is quite influential in the party;And has a close relationship with ***, so it is most appropriate for her to come forward to persuade her.
Mr. Huang Wenhuan mentioned by Deng Yingchao has a lot to do with the invitation to the Chinese New Year's Eve state banquet. Hoang Van Huan is a Vietnamese who was previously one of the key leaders of the Communist Party of Vietnam. He devoted his life to the revolutionary cause of Vietnam's national independence, followed Ho Chi Minh in his early years, was deeply influenced by him, and had a special affection for China. He fought in China for a period of time and formed a deep revolutionary friendship with Deng Yingchao. However, after Ho Chi Minh's death, Le Duan took control of Vietnam, putting Ho Chi Minh's efforts in vain. After Vietnam fell to the Soviet Union, it turned against China, which made Huang Wenhuan feel deeply sad. Although Hoang Van Huan tried to confront the Vietnamese leader at the time, Le Duan, he lost the open and secret battle between the two, and his status fell sharply. In 1979, Hoang Van Huan realized that he could not stop Le Duan's movements, so he decided to leave Vietnam for China.
However, he was closely monitored by Li Duan, and it was difficult to get out. In this predicament, Huang Wenhuan fell ill and was hospitalized, but he was able to get rid of the shackles. While in hospital**, he was suspected of developing lung cancer or tuberculosis and needed to travel to East Germany for **. When the plane stopped in Karachi, Huang Wenhuan lied that he was unwell, and was able to stay in Karachi and successfully escape the surveillance, and finally made it to China. After undergoing surgery in Beijing, Huang Wenhuan miraculously died, which made him extremely excited, and he even wrote a poem about it. Hoang Van Huan's arrival was warmly welcomed by the Chinese people,** and even received him personally, because at this time Hoang Van Huan no longer represents an individual, but represents the unity of China and Vietnam.
At the Chinese New Year's Eve state banquet in February 1981, Hoang Van Huan decided to attend, and only the chairman personally attended the reception, which was the best choice, which was a kind of importance for Hoang Van Huan and more beneficial to the unity of China and Vietnam. Therefore, Deng Yingchao informed Huang Wenhuan of the news of his attendance at the state banquet in the hope that he could focus on the overall situation. She whispered to ***, "It's the last time", obviously out of personal friendship. Deng Yingchao's words were deep meaning and emotion, and he agreed after silence, which shows that there is a tacit understanding between the two. The big picture counts. **The President attended the State Dinner on New Year's Eve, and his arrival was very exciting for the guests and staff. In particular, the chef in charge of this banquet, who is well aware of ***'s dietary preferences, decided to carefully cook his favorite fried egg for the chairman.
**'s eating habits are quite peculiar, he likes to remove egg yolks and eat only fried egg whites, which is related to his taste and physical condition. Although this dish is not on the state dinner menu, the chef still insists on cooking it and is specially brought to *** by the service staff to taste it. This special heart touched ***. At the banquet, ** had a long and enthusiastic conversation with Huang Wenhuan, which made the latter feel unprecedented attention. Chairman Hua's cordial attitude and sincere words warmed people's hearts like a spring breeze, which made Huang Wenhuan full of expectations for a better future, which can be said to have benefited a lot. The banquet ended successfully in a happy and peaceful atmosphere, and Huang Wenhuan returned with a full load. However, ** did not leave the table as soon as possible, but waited for all the guests to leave, and went to the back kitchen to shake hands with the staff who participated in the state banquet service one by one to thank them.
According to the memories of the staff present at the time, ** said to them in a simple Shanxi dialect: "Comrades have worked hard, and I have received the love of comrades!."Thank you, comrades. These simple words showed the chairman's sincere gratitude to the staff, and everyone present at the time was deeply moved by this scene. **After his speech, Zhang Tianchi, the person in charge of the Diaoyutai security work, made a suggestion: "Chairman, can you take a photo with us?"Smiled slightly, neither agreeing nor refusing. When the staff saw the chairman smiling, they suddenly couldn't suppress their desire to take a photo with the chairman, and they showed sincere smiles, flashed expectant eyes in their eyes, and gathered around ***. The chairman straightened his shirt and stood in the middle of the crowd, and at this moment silence is better than sound!This is the last time I will attend a state banquet, and I will do my duty.
At the critical moment, he focused on the overall situation and left a precious group photo with the staff who still miss him!Zhang Tianchi took the initiative to take a photo with the chairman after his speech.
