Take out a cigarette in the museum and remind him: Smoking is prohibited here!
In September 1949, the first session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) was about to be held, and democrats from all over the country flocked to Beijing.
** General Chen Mingren, the Kuomintang general of the Hunan uprising, was specially invited to visit the Temple of Heaven with him. In order to add to the lively atmosphere, ** is also invited.
During the tour of the Temple of Heaven, a small episode occurred.
In the museum, ** habitually pulls out a cigarette to smoke, but does not realize that smoking is prohibited in the museum. After being reminded, humorously admit the mistake and immediately extinguish the cigarette.
** Self-deprecating said: "I am knowingly committing a crime, and my addiction to cigarettes has harmed me!" * also joked: "No one can match the speed of your reform, so no one can match the speed at which everyone forgives you!" These words sparked a burst of laughter from the audience.
Chen Mingren was a little nervous about *** at first, but under the mediation of **, the atmosphere quickly became lively. Chen Mingren even took a photo with ***, saying that he would wash a few more and send them to his old colleagues to show his demeanor.
*'s humor doesn't stop there, such as the scene of welcoming Wei Lihuang's return to China.
Wei Lihuang was an important general of the Kuomintang, but he chose to return to China because he was dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek, becoming the first high-ranking Kuomintang general to return from overseas. His return attracted much attention, ** received him personally, and expressed his welcome at the banquet.
Talking about his service to the Kuomintang, Wei Lihuang felt guilty and thought that it was a foolish act for him to be an enemy of the people. He fears that he is still considered a "war criminal" and may be punished.
* eased the atmosphere in a humorous way, saying that if Wei Lihuang was not listed as a "war criminal", would Chiang Kai-shek let him go? In addition to ridicule, he also expressed his understanding and support for Wei Lihuang.
After some talking and laughing, **'s words made Wei Lihuang have an epiphany, he suddenly brightened up, happily clinked glasses with **, and drank it all.
It turned out that when the list of "war criminals" was announced, it was carefully considered, including not only real criminals, such as Chiang Kai-shek, Li Zongren, Yan Xishan, etc., but also some people who were friendly with our party, such as Cheng Qian, Wei Lihuang, Fu Zuoyi, and so on. By putting them on the list, they were actually protecting them, because they were in a prominent position within the Kuomintang, and if they were not on the list, Chiang Kai-shek would be suspicious and feared that he would harm them.
* One sentence broke the sky, so that Wei Lihuang had an epiphany, and the doubts in his heart were swept away.
* is admirable in his insight, he always has insight into the essence of things, is concise and to the point, and makes people understand.
**And *** is very important to him, and often invites him to accompany and receive important guests, because he can always enliven the atmosphere.
Later, due to his busy work, he was specially promoted to the position of chief because he valued his extraordinary ability.
