In 1963, the first poem was published, which was warmly welcomed by the people of the whole country. One of the songs, "Don't dream vaguely curse the passing of the river, the old garden thirty-two years ago." "The beginning of "To Shaoshan" has won the love of many people. Many people are amazed by the earth-shaking scene shown in the poem, but few people know the story behind this poem about ***'s first return to his hometown.
The poem was written in June 1959, when he returned home after 32 years of absence.
Thirty-two years ago, the chairman left Hunan as a criminal and went to Jiangxi to fight guerrillas. Looking back, he is already the people's president who founded New China and the supreme leader of the party and the state.
Facing his hometown after a long absence, the chairman was infinitely emotional, and kept walking around to look for the traces of the past. When the chairman went to the grave of his parents, he found a small hole in the grave. The chairman immediately made a move, which made everyone present very emotional.
What did you do when you returned home? What kind of mysterious action did the chairman make?
Click to pay attention and walk into the story of *** returning to your hometown for the first time.
** Fought for the revolutionary cause all his life, left his hometown when he was young, and returned to his hometown five times in his life. The earliest of these took place in June 1959.
At the end of June 1959, accompanied by the Minister of Public Security, he completed his inspection of Wuhan. After leaving Wuhan, ** and others arrived at Jiujiang in Jiangxi Province by boat and then drove to the mountains by car. The staff members who accompanied him did not know exactly where the chairman's trip was going, but they found that the area they were going to was getting more and more rugged, and it seemed to be heading into the mountains.
When the car stopped in the evening, the people who got out of the car found that they had arrived in Shaoshan, Xiangtan, and returned to the chairman's hometown. What was waiting in Shaoshan was not the crowd of people everyone imagined, but only Zhou Xiaozhou, the secretary of the provincial party committee, and a few well-known local elders.
Before returning to his hometown, the chairman greeted the cadres, and he must not disclose his whereabouts in advance, and do not let the villagers gather and wait in advance. Therefore, after the chairman secretly returned to his hometown, only a few cadres and elderly people waited here at the entrance of the village.
This is the first time since the revolution in his hometown. His joy was naturally indescribable, so he offered to invite the accompanying staff to be guests and eat bacon and other delicacies from his hometown.
After dinner, the chairman walked in the courtyard with Wang Renzhong, Secretary of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee, Zhou Xiaozhou, Secretary of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee, and ***. The two accompanying people found that the chairman was extremely excited, and their faces were full of joy. During the walk, the chairman also asked Wang Renzhong if he was used to eating food from his hometown.
Wang Ren replied sincerely: "The bacon in Shaoshan is very delicious, but the peppers are too spicy, and the rice is not as delicious as Hubei." * After listening to Wang Renzhong's answer, not only did he not get angry because of his complaint, but he was very happy and smiled: "You still don't have the habit of eating!" Eat more and you'll be able to eat more! ”
Seeing that the chairman was sweating from a walk, Secretary Zhou took the opportunity to ask the chairman if he was too hot and needed to requisition some ice cubes to cool down. The chairman hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that he did not need it. As a child who grew up in Shaoshan, the chairman has long been accustomed to such weather. Although the weather in Hunan is really hot in the north, in the chairman's opinion, sweating is also a good thing, which can promote people's metabolism and be beneficial to physical health.
Looking at the chairman, who was extremely excited after returning to his hometown and did not care about the external living conditions, the cadres were full of emotion in their hearts.
Because he did not greet him in advance, the chairman who returned to Shaoshan had to live in the No. 1 building of Songshan built by the provincial party committee. Before going to bed, the chairman specially called the accompanying security personnel to the bedroom and explained to them his plan of action for the next day.
After returning to Shaoshan, the chairman planned to visit the ancestral hall of the Mao family and the local schools to learn about the development of education in Shaoshan. In a conversation with the security guards, the chairman emphasized: "I finally went back to my hometown, and the villagers were very excited. When the time comes, don't stop the villagers, you must treat them warmly and gently. ”
Although the security personnel were worried about the safety of the chairman, they had no choice but to agree when they saw the chairman's serious face. Seeing that the security personnel agreed to his request, the chairman's demeanor eased again. Even after that, he also started a family routine with the security personnel, telling that the Mao family generation sacrificed the blood of several martyrs in exchange for the growth and expansion of New China.
The staff couldn't help but reddened their eyes when they heard this, and they admired the chairman even more.
After seeing off the guests, the chairman took sleeping pills and finally lay down. Perhaps it was the joy of returning home that made the chairman more relaxed, or perhaps it was the fatigue of the day's travel, and soon after falling asleep, the chairman quickly fell asleep.
**Secretly returned to his hometown, showing great joy and excitement. After 32 years, what will the chairman do in his hometown for the first time?
At 5 a.m. the next morning, the chairman woke up. The chairman who woke up immediately informed his chief guard, Li Yinqiao, that he was going to the graves of his parents to pay respects to these two ancestors. In this way, the two embarked on the road of worshipping their ancestors on the mountain without notifying others. Since it was past five o'clock in the morning, the sky had not yet brightened. The chairman had no choice but to crawl up the hill with the chief of the guard through knee-deep grass and support each other in the dark.
The staff at the chairman's residence soon discovered that the chairman was missing, and everyone chased them out for a long time before they found the traces of the chairman. After the follow-up work catches up, the team up the mountain becomes mighty. It's just that *** has never opened his mouth since he went up the mountain, and the later staff didn't know to go to **, but they just followed vigorously.
It wasn't until everyone climbed to the top of the mountain beam and saw a small tomb made of loess that they knew that this was to pay tribute to their ancestors.
Because *** went suddenly, the entourage didn't know that the chairman was coming to pay tribute to his parents, so they didn't prepare relevant wreaths and other tools. Fortunately, one of the accompanying directors was quick-eyed, and he casually broke off the pine branches on the mountain, braided them into a wreath, and handed them to ***.
The "wreath" was solemnly received and subsequently placed on the graves of his parents. Then the chairman bowed deeply three times to the grave where his parents were buried. At that moment, he was no longer a great leader who led thousands of Chinese people, and he was no longer the revolutionary messenger who was not afraid of wind and rain. At that moment, ** shed all his external identity and status, just the son of the Mao family's parents, just a child who worships his parents.
After bowing, the chairman looked at the dots of weeds on his parents' graves and began to pull them out with his hands. Seeing *** doing such a thing, the guards present wanted to help the 66-year-old *** but were rejected by the chairman and threw the guards away. The minister then instructed the guards to step back and not disturb *** to do their duty as a dutiful son.
In the process of pulling out the weeds on the grave of his parents, ** accidentally found that there was a small hole on the grave, and I don't know what animal had drilled through. In order to maintain respect for the tomb of his parents, he picked up the soil on the ground with his own hands, and after the soil was clumped, he stuffed it into a small hole and completely plugged it. His movements were very gentle, as if his parents in the tomb were just sleeping peacefully, and if they made too much noise, they would be disturbed to rest.
Seeing such a situation, everyone present was also very moved, quietly waiting for the chairman to end the memorial. After the chairman finished worshipping, a guard beside him found that the chairman, who had never changed his face in the face of critical events, actually had a little tear in his eyes. Before leaving, a staff member asked the chair if he needed to rebuild the graves of his parents. But the chairman rejected the proposal, and only asked the local cadres if anyone would be willing to come and remove the weeds from his parents' grave every year.
After descending the mountain, everyone went to the former residence of *** and met the local people who had been waiting for a long time. After entering the former residence, the chairman saluted again at the portrait of his parents in the house, and explained to the accompanying staff: "No one can forget his roots no matter what, and he cannot forget the kindness of his parents to him!" ”
That night, the chairman explained his behavior of defeating his parents in a conversation with General ***. He said: "Although we are all communists who do not believe in ghosts and gods. But we are Chinese, and we cannot give birth to and raise our parents and teachers who grew up! ”
**'s feelings for his parents are sincere and moving, so what kind of story does he have with his parents?
** Paying tribute to his parents, showing a pure heart with his own actions. What kind of deep and sincere feelings does he have with his parents?
** I once had such an evaluation of my family: "There are two parties in the family. One is the father of the ruling party, and the other is everyone except the father! ”
The relationship with his father is actually not good, which is also admitted by *** himself. Because his father Mao Shunsheng has a very stubborn traditional thought, the relationship between ***, who has been full of rebellious spirit since he was a child, has never dealt with his father. Originally, it was for the purpose of helping himself take care of the family business and assist in the business, and his father funded *** to study.
Unexpectedly, after learning the knowledge, the chairman used the knowledge to his father as a tool for his own counterattack. There are countless stories of rebellion against his father, among which the more well-known one is the story of him running away from home at the age of 13 to express his love for his father.
At a time when revolutionary ideas gradually filled the land of Xiangtan, ** had a conflict with his stubborn father. Whenever *** chooses to get closer to new things, learn new ideas and concepts, and make new moves, his father Mao Shunsheng will definitely jump out to stop him, intending to pull him back into his original life circle.
But obviously, in the end, he failed to leave *** in the small Shaoshan and act as a down-and-out literati who only knew the traditional classics. With the first step out of Shaoshan and to Xiangtan, Changsha and Beijing, his knowledge and thinking have been greatly improved. He also had his own views on China's current situation and future development direction.
His father is still as old-fashioned and stubborn, but for his grown son, he doesn't want to quarrel when he is over 50 years old, and he can't quarrel anymore. **In the process of going to Beijing, the trustee will pick up his father in his hometown to Changsha City, and live with his second brother Mao**, who is studying in Changsha.
Unexpectedly, just a few months after arriving in Changsha, this stubborn old father was separated from the first yin and yang in Beijing, leaving a lifelong regret for the chairman.
Compared with the sternness and oppression of the father, the mother has always played a loving role in *** life. Wen Qimei, who was born in a scholarly family, has the gentleness and love of a scholar. As the leader of the protest faction in the Mao family who fought with her husband in the ruling party, Wen Qimei has always been the umbrella of the teenager and always does her best to protect her children.
Although this woman, who has not received a new education, does not agree with many of the ideas of ***. But she is still willing to be a staunch supporter and become the most powerful support for teenagers. And the starting point of all this is her natural love and infinite support for her children.
In the famine year, when the teenager secretly gave alms to the poor tenant farmers behind his father's back, his mother would not only help him cover up, but even sometimes personally participate in this kind of activity and cooperate with *** to commit crimes." *When I was studying, I once gave all my lunch to my classmates in order to save them. When his mother learned of this, she would always prepare two meals a day for the chairman, and unconditionally supported the chairman's actions.
But this poor woman was destined not to be able to accompany the chairman for long. In the process of the chairman going north to study, his mother, who had been suffering from lymphadenitis and became ill, became ill and finally died in Changsha. **After learning the news of his mother's death, he immediately put down all the matters in his hand and rushed back to Changsha with his third brother Mao Zetan.
According to the chairman's second brother Mao **, before her mother passed away, she never let go of her eldest son who went out to study, and she kept chanting the name of *** before she died. When he returned home, he was grief-stricken and wrote a nearly 500-word eulogy for his mother.
In this way, the benevolent mother who was called: "can harm oneself and benefit others", left him forever. Due to the needs of the revolutionary cause, ** went to Beijing again after his mother's "first seventh".
Unfortunately, not long after his mother's death, his father also died of illness, and the couple followed.
** I also felt guilty about my parents, and felt sad that I couldn't fulfill my filial piety and send the second old man on his last journey.
Father's love is like a mountain, and mother's love is like water and tenderness", * He has not been with his parents for a long time in his life, but his feelings for the second elder are deep and sincere. For these two nurtured people, the chairman has inexhaustible feelings and regrets. For this reason, the chairman is even willing to give up his Marxist identity and let himself be an ordinary mortal, an ordinary son!
