In 1974, the ** marshal talked to Xiong Xianghui, but before he got into the main topic of the conversation, Xiong Xianghui anxiously asked: "What has the prime minister been doing recently?"”
After listening to Xiong Xianghui's question, ** sighed.
With a heavy expression on his face, he told Xiong Xianghui: "Two years ago, it was discovered that the prime minister was sick, but the prime minister insisted on working, and now he can't hold on, so he was hospitalized."
Regarding ***'s condition and the situation in the hospital, although he didn't talk about it deeply, Xiong Xianghui was keenly aware that **'s condition was very serious.
Xiong Xianghui is an excellent general on the hidden front of the CCP, and *** must be an important guide in his legendary life.
Many years later, Xiong Xianghui's most talked about deeds are: by the side of Hu Zongnan of the Kuomintang, engaged in secret intelligence work, he went to Hu Zongnan's side to lurk, that is, more than ten years, the pain is very bearable, ** praised his "one person can top several divisions".
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, and ** held his hand: "In the past few years, you have worked hard. * care made Xiong Xianghui couldn't help crying, before parting, ** told him: "I won't send you, see you after victory!."”
Xiong Xianghui and Hu Zongnan's colleagues took a group photo in Xi'an.
In 1947, when Hu Zongnan's army wanted to attack Yan'an, it was Xiong Xianghui who passed Hu Zongnan's battle plan to ** in time, so that Hu Zongnan's hundreds of thousands of troops were in vain.
In the victory of the revolution in 1949, Xiong Xianghui was finally able to return to the embrace of the party organization openly, he met again, ** was very happy, and praised him: "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 contributed 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 Zhang Zhi, an old friend of the former Kuomintang, was very surprised to see Xiong Xianghui.
It's *** to reintroduce him to everyone:"He's not an uprising, he's a return. He was a member of the Communist Party in 1936. ”Since then, Xiong Xianghui has also been able to devote himself to the construction of New China with peace of mind.
From the crisis-ridden dark war to the diplomatic career of New China, Xiong Xianghui has always followed the world's leading side. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xiong Xianghui served as the deputy director of the Information Department and the assistant to the prime minister.
He was criticized.
In 1960, British Field Marshal Montgomery visited China, accompanied by Xiong Xianghui, and left Beijing to visit other places. Xiong Xianghui accompanied Montgomery in the Henan Luoyang ** Henan drama "Mu Guiying in Charge", Montgomery watched it, and had a bad evaluation of this drama, and bluntly said: "How to let a woman be a marshal!."”
Xiong Xianghui told him that this is a folk legend in my country, and the people love to watch it.
Montgomery, however, said, "A man who loves to see a woman as a marshal is not a real man."A woman who loves to see a woman as a marshal is not a real woman. His comment made Xiong Xianghui very uncomfortable to listen to, and he confronted the foreign guest on the spot: "The Queen of England is also a woman." After saying a word, Montgomery was speechless.
Although Xiong Xianghui had the upper hand in person, this incident later reached the ears of ***, who severely criticized Xiong Xianghui: "You talked too much!."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 differences”
** words alerted Xiong Xianghui and made him realize his mistake, and in the subsequent walk with Montgomery, he changed his ** degree in time to avoid incurring greater impact.
In his future diplomatic work, Xiong Xianghui will keep in mind the teachings of *** and will never make such mistakes again. It is undeniable that the severity of ** has undoubtedly brought him more progress.
In the seventies of the twentieth century, ** was sick, Xiong Xianghui always cared about and thought about ***, especially when he heard about *** from the marshal, and his heart was even more worried.
On September 29, 1974, Xiong Xianghui received a ** from Luo Qingchang from Beijing.
Luo Qingchang conveyed to him the words of Deng Ying's eldest sister in **, and it turned out that the sick *** gave instructions, hoping that Xiong Xianghui could come to Beijing and participate in the National Day reception. At that time, Xiong Xianghui's health was not good, and he was **, which means: "Whether it will work or not is up to the doctor." ”
After receiving Luo Qingchang's **, Xiong Xianghui had already burst into tears, and the sick *** was still remembering him and many comrades, how could this friendship not be touching.

The next day, September 30, Xiong Xianghui received an invitation, which read, "**Name:
"In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there will be a reception on Monday, 30 September 1974, at 7.30 p.m. in the Ballroom of the Great Hall of the People.Xiong Xianghui decided to go to the reception despite his illness, and he was eager to meet the prime minister he often missed.
Xiong Xianghui arrived at the banquet hall of the Great Hall of the People early, and many people had gathered in the banquet hall, and at nearly seven o'clock, almost all the people who came to attend the meeting had arrived. In the crowd, the hottest topic of discussion was: Is the prime minister coming tonight?Someone said: "The prime minister is not in good health and will not come." Someone else said: "The invitation was issued in the name of the Prime Minister, and he will come." Of course, Xiong Xianghui hopes that it is the latter.
The banquet started on time, the figure of ** appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall, he had not yet come forward, the guests sitting on the seats spontaneously stood up, applauded vigorously, and in the applause that never stopped, people continued to shout tacitly: "* mixed with the exclamation of "the prime minister has lost weight, lost a lot of weight".
Across the crowd, Xiong Xianghui saw *** walking in, waving to everyone with a smile on his face. Still wearing the familiar gray tunic suit, he was much thinner, much haggard, and walked much slower than before.
Walking from the entrance to the guest of honor, people's joy and excitement are difficult to calm down, and many people are even applauding with tears in their eyes, welcoming the arrival of ***.
The most nervous people present are probably the medical staff and security personnel, who are already very seriously ill at this time, and they are worried that they will be overly excited and fatigued, which will have a worse impact on the condition.
When the host announced that *** would give a speech, the applause rang out again. **'s speech was not long, every time he finished speaking, everyone began to applaud, and the whole speech process, the applause time far exceeded the time of his speech.
During the banquet, everyone was invited to raise a glass and drink together, and people raised their glasses and wished *** good health. This banquet, because of the arrival of ***, made all the guests who came very excited.
Xiong Xianghui didn't have a chance to say a few more words to ***, and when the reception was over, he squeezed forward along the crowd, hoping to see more *** waving his hand frequently, ** dragging his sick body away.
At that time, everyone didn't know that this was the last time *** hosted the National Day reception. Xiong Xianghui didn't know that this would be the last time he heard *** speak and the last time he saw ***'s face before his death.
On January 8, 1976, the ** Prime Minister left forever, Xiong Xianghui was sad!
