On January 5, 1976, ** underwent one last operation, in which the doctor made an incision in his left abdomen to remove as many toxins and food debris as possible from his intestinesIn fact, this operation has been useless for ***'s condition, all he wants is to reduce the pain as much as possible, so that he can live as briskly as possible in the last days.
Three days later, the disease finally took away the old man who was admired by thousands of people.
At the time of his death, the Politburo was holding a meeting attended by *** and others. PositiveIn the middle of the meeting, Wang Dongxing pushed the door and walked in, he glanced at the venue intently, and said in a deep voice: "Comrade * passed away at 9:57 this morning!" ”
Hearing this bad news, ** was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses, he got up directly, pulled out a chair and prepared to leave the venue to go to the hospital, but at this time someone next to him whispered: "The meeting is not over yet." ”
The Prime Minister and Ye Shuai took a group photo.
With tears in his eyes, he turned to look at the crowd and gave three orders in a firm tone:
First, immediately report to the chairman and form a funeral committee;As soon as the words fell, ** got up and said solemnly: "I completely agree, notify the War Department now, and let the army implement it immediately." and *** both have a deep relationship with ***, and the death of ** is a big blow to them.second, to issue an obituary in the name of **, informing all embassies abroad to lower the flag at half-mast;
Thirdly, the coastal defense forces were ordered to enter the first level of combat readiness.
**'s eldest son, Deng Pufang, once said, ".My father has always been calm, and he has a very open eye on his life and death and everything else, but the death of *** has dealt a huge blow to him.
On the other hand, the staff around ** also recalled that after the end of the meetingWhen I returned home, I couldn't hide my sadness, I cried bitterly, I couldn't accept the fact that the prime minister had passed away, and I couldn't even suppress my out-of-control emotions for a long time.
In fact, since *** got sick, ** has been very concerned.
Ye Shuai and the Prime Minister.
On May 18, 1972, the premier led a group of people to Beijing Airport to bid farewell to friends from AfricaThe *** in the shot, as usual, has bright eyes and a kind smile on his face. However, what everyone doesn't know is that on this day, ** was diagnosed with bladder cancer.
Health doctor Zhang Zuoliang reported the bad news to *** for the first time, and was silent for a long time, and finally instructed the doctor to keep the condition secret from the prime minister for the time being, and instructed to find the best doctor for *** diagnosis and treatmentSubsequently, under the strong persuasion of Sister Deng, ** finally agreed to suspend work and be hospitalized to recuperate.
It is said to be recuperating, but in fact, it is just a change of place to continue working. During his hospitalization, the Prime Minister continued to work hard to deal with various affairs, working more than 12 hours a dayThe guards were too distressed, but several persuasions were to no avail, so Zhang Zuoliang had no choice but to ask Ye Shuai to persuade the prime minister to rest.
After Ye Shuai received the news, he immediately rushed to the hospital to persuade the prime minister to rest well, take care of his health, and ask the medical staff about various matters.
Ye Shuai. He explained to the managementRegarding the Prime Minister's **, be prepared to fight a protracted war,And instructed the managersWe must take good care of experts, medical personnel, and the staff around the prime minister, try our best to meet them in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and engage in some recreational activities to regulate their lives.
At that time, television sets were not yet widely available, and they could be said to be very luxurious items, and there was only one color television set in the hospital. Whenever I watched the program at night, there would be a lot of people gathered in front of the TV, and the experts who treated the prime minister were treated preferentially, and everyone took the initiative to ask them to sit in the front row. Later, Ye Shuai learned of this situation, and allocated a color TV to the hospital and placed it on the floor where the experts lived for their use.
Ye Shuai does everything in detail, and he even sets strict food standards for medical staff and expertsOn weekdays, the standard per person per day is 1 yuan and 2 jiao, and the medical staff are all 8 jiao. For 2 days before the operation and for the next three days, everyone was paid 1 yuan and 8 jiao per day, and he also instructed that fresh fruits should be prepared for the specialist every day.
All this is to protect the body of the medical staff, Ye Shuai thinks,Once the medical staff are exhausted, it is not good for the prime minister's **.
Premier. At that time, the medical staff who were responsible for taking care of *** were deeply impressed by Ye Shuai's meticulous care, and someone once recalled:"In front of Ye Shuai, we have nothing to say. He has a deep affection for ***, asks about the prime minister's condition most carefully, and is also very kind and enthusiastic to us...”
In order to allow *** to have a good rest environment, Ye Shuai instructed the staff to keep the ward as quiet as possible, and explained that the second floor above the prime minister's ward would be vacated, and all the experts and staff would live on the third floor. This not only does not affect the rest of the world, but also has little impact on everyone's life. Even after the Prime Minister is resting, people can continue to use the toilet bowl or other items that make noise.
**If you have cancer, you must undergo surgery**,Every time before the operation, Ye Shuai had to rush to the hospital to listen to the report of the expert group. During the operation, he stayed next to the operating room and accompanied his revolutionary comrades-in-arms.
Even if he is sometimes on a business trip and is very busy with work, Ye Shuai still has to squeeze out time to go to the hospital and ask the prime minister about his condition in detailEvery time he talked to the medical staff about the prime minister's body, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and even cried bitterly many times.
Ye Shuai. In the early '70s, the country was in a time of turmoil, and there was a group of people who were eyeing even the prime minister.
Ye Shuai, as the vice chairman of the prime minister, is in a high position, and he asks about the prime minister's illness in every detail, which is to show his attitude, which not only provides help to the prime minister in terms of power, but also plays a key protective role in politics.
From this history, we can see that Ye Shuai and *** have a deep relationshipIt can even be said that it is an eternal friendship, and this friendship began half a century ago.
In 1924, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party launched their first cooperation, and soon after, under the instructions of the Chinese Communist Party, he returned to Guangzhou as a member of the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee and Minister of Military Affairs after finishing his work in Europe. The first major thing he did after the new official took office was to command and quell the counter-revolutionary rebellion of the merchant group and maintain the authority of the merchants. In this operation, Ye Shuai was ordered to lead the team to participate in the battle with other troops, and it can be said that this is the first time that Ye Shuai has participated in the work under the leadership of ***.
After the rebellion was quelled, ** was transferred to the director of the Political Department of the Whampoa Military Academy, and Ye Shuai at this time also happened to be serving at the Whampoa Military Academy and was one of the famous instructors in the military academy.
Premier. Also working in Huangpu, Ye Shuai and *** often meet each other and gradually get acquaintedIt was through his interactions with *** that Ye Shuai learned what communism is, and also saw the noble revolutionary spirit and simple and pure revolutionary style of Communist Party members. Compared with the chaotic and rotten Kuomintang, the Communist Party is a hundred times stronger than a thousand times, Ye Shuai realized that I am afraid that only such a party can really save China, so he had the idea of joining the Communist Party of China.
When he proposed the idea of joining the party,At that time, many comrades in the party had concerns: ** was a high-ranking general of the Kuomintang, who had not passed the revolutionary test and could not be easily absorbed into the party. Because of this, Ye Shuai's idea of joining the party for the first time failed to materialize.
In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched the April 12 counter-revolutionary coup, and Ye Shuai, then the commander of the new Second Division of the National Revolutionary Army, immediately telegraphed against Chiang in Ji'an, and then went to Wuhan aloneFind your friends Deng Yanda and Zhang Fakui.
With the help of Deng and Zhang, Ye Shuai went to the Fourth Army as chief of staffDuring this time in the army, he gained a deeper understanding of the revolutionary situation in China and became more determined to join the Communist Party of China.
At that time, Chiang Kai-shek wantonly hunted and killed Communist Party members and patriotic people, and Communist Party members were brutally killed on the streets of Shanghai every dayDuring this time period, choosing to become a member of the Communist Party is tantamount to igniting a fire**, but Ye Shuai is not afraid, he is willing to embark on this thorny road of death.
Ye Shuai. With determination and courage, the last step is to find the Communist Party.
Under the complicated situation at that time, Ye Shuai really struggled to find a Communist Party member Li Shi'an in the Fourth Army, and Ye Shuai sincerely expressed to him his strong desire to follow the Communist Party revolution to the end. Li Shi'an and Ye Shuai are fellow villagers, and they also had some understanding of Ye Shuai in the past, and they are clear about his revolutionary ideals and political tendencies.
Li Shi'an had the intention to introduce Ye Shuai to the party, but the revolutionary situation at that time was too grim, and he didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he found a *** acquaintance with Ye Shuai and reported Ye Shuai's situation.
knew Ye Shuai quite well, and finally decided to absorb Ye Shuai into the party, and in July 1927, Ye Shuai finally fulfilled his wish and officially joined the Communist Party of China. For this matter, **has always been grateful*** that he can know people and accept him, a senior general of the Kuomintang!
After the Guangzhou Uprising, Ye Shuai was arranged to go to the Soviet Union to study Xi, and after returning to China in 1930, he worked in the Shanghai Military Commission under ***, and in 1931, Ye Shuai took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the Soviet Union to participate in military workKnowing that Ye Shuai had combat experience in the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition and was extremely capable of military affairs, he agreed with his idea and telegraphed to the Soviet District, proposing that *** be the head of the General Staff Department of the **Military Commission.
Ye Shuai. In the following several anti-encirclement and suppression campaigns, Ye Shuai had excellent performancesIn particular, the practical and thoughtful combat plan formulated before each battle has been highly praised.
After five failed counter-encirclement and suppression, the Red Army was forced to go on a long marchDuring the Long March, Ye Shuai led the first column to play an extremely important role, and praised him many times for making great contributions to the party at critical moments, and praised: "The wind knows the grass, and the board knows the honest minister!" ”
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated for the second time, and worked together with Ye Shuai in ChongqingThe relationship between the two was more direct and intimate than before. **Although the work is not as good as the military struggle, but still face all kinds of hardships and life and death tests, the prime minister and Ye Shuai in the treacherous environment of the hardships and hardships, the revolutionary friendship is naturally deeper and deeper.
Premier. In 1976, after the death of the prime minister, 79-year-old Ye Shuai served as a member of the funeral committee. Although the premier is gone, Ye Shuai has not forgotten the premier's instructions to him, united with other old commanders, put an end to that chaotic era, and won a precious opportunity for the Chinese people to rest and recuperate.
Ye Shuai and *** are like-minded,With lofty communist ideals and the great belief of fighting for the cause of the proletarian revolution all their lives, they have supported each other, fought side by side, braved the wind and rain for decades, and forged an incomparably deep friendship.
In Ye Shuai's later years, whenever someone mentioned ***, he still couldn't help crying.
The two of them embarked on the same revolutionary road for the same goal, and fought for it all their lives, and their original intentions have not changed, and now they have left us, but their spirit and friendship have been praised by the people.
