During the Yan'an period, ** once presided over a meeting, and when it was time to interact, someone sent a note.
* After reading it, I didn't avoid it, but said it very calmlyThis comrade asked: Since the Communist Party stresses equality, why is it that all of us live so hard, but there are always chickens to eat?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, probably thinking in their hearts: How can anyone still ask such a question?Shouldn't you eat chicken yet?
However, this question is actually what many people want to ask, because the Communist Party is preaching that everyone is equal, whether it is leaders and generals, or ordinary people and soldiers, everyone eats the same food and wears the same clothes, and Yan'an is too poor, everyone's life is very hard, but, why can you eat chicken?Does this go against the Communist Party's propaganda of "equality for all"?
For this somewhat "sensitive" issue, ** did not evade, let alone pursue the person who asked the question, but calmly explained:"Yes, there is always chicken to eat, it's not *** willing. I want to live the same life as all of us, but comrades, think about how important health is to the Chinese revolutionTherefore, **unwilling to eat chicken, ** must be *** to eat chicken. Like every one of our revolutionary comrades, eating chicken is also a revolutionary task. ”
* This explanation is a good answer to everyone's questions, "everyone is equal" is true, but there is a difference in work, for example, people who do heavy work have a lot of physical exertion, so they have to eat a little more than others, which is "equality", not no matter how much they do, they all eat the same meal.
Specific to ***, he shoulders the heavy responsibility of leading the people of the whole country to fight bravely, which is incomparable to any other person, so it is necessary to ensure the health of *** in order to complete the victory of the great cause of the War of Resistance, therefore, ** decided that for the sake of ***'s health, he must ensure that he can eat chicken and drink chicken soup every day.
It can be said that this is entirely out of the need for the revolution, and not for the sake of the revolution itself.
However, this is only the rule of **, **I am very opposed to this regulation, and I have never complied with it, what he hates most in his life is the idea of "privilege", how can he eat chicken every day when everyone is not full?
Therefore, ** does not eat chicken every day, the meals he eats are actually similar to everyone else, they are all commonplace, the only difference is that he has chili peppers at every meal.
If you have to say that *** has a "privilege" to eat, then chili pepper is his only "privilege"!
There is also a story about *** eating chicken.
One day in July 1943, **went to Nanniwan to inspect, **in order to entertain ***, a few roast chickens were specially served.
**After seeing the roast chicken, ask**: Can the soldiers eat the roast chicken?”
* replied: "Nanniwan is no longer the Nanniwan it used to be, now the soldiers can eat pork twice a week, and roast chicken is not a rare thing, please rest assured." ”
**Only then was he relieved, and said to ** with a smile: "Only if the soldiers can eat roast chicken, I am qualified to eat this roast chicken." ”
Eating roast chicken this time may be the most delicious time, because Nanniwan's achievements made him very happy, which greatly solved the problem of eating for the soldiers, and he naturally ate very happily.
However, after eating the roast chicken, ** did not go directly, but picked up all the leftover chicken bones on the table and put them in his pocket.
This move makes **very strange:**What do you want these chicken bones for?Haven't you heard of *** There are cats and dogs at home?
At this time, ** explained with a smile: "Don't waste it, you can boil some chicken soup to drink when you take it back!."”
* Only then did I understand what was going on, and I couldn't help but be greatly moved, and quickly asked someone to get a few more roast chickens and let *** take them back.
However, ** stopped him, saying that it was enough to have these chicken bones, and he couldn't eat and take them at the same time.
This story is actually a supplement to the story above, **If you really have chicken to eat every day, will you care about this chicken bone?It is precisely because there is no oil and water in the stomach of *** that I will not bother to bring these chicken bones back, so that I can boil some chicken soup to drink.
In the eyes of today's young people, such a story may be a bit like a fantasy, but it has really happened to ***, how can such a leader not be universally loved by the people of the whole country?Project Tinder
