1976 was undoubtedly an unforgettable year for the Chinese people. In that year, the premier, the chairman, and the chairman of the National People's Congress passed away one after another, and several great men of the People's Republic of China fell, which was a huge loss to the Chinese nation and brought infinite reluctance and pain to the people of the Chinese.
That year, there was also a national griefTangshan Da**, resulting in a large number of personnel**. The fall of several great men and the sudden natural disasters made that year destined to be extraordinary. One sudden incident after another shrouded the entire Chinese people in an atmosphere of sadness that year.
On September 9, 1976, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, in the midst of grief, the broadcaster of the People's Radio announced to the people of the whole country and even the world the news of the death of China's great leader. Soon, the news spread throughout the red land of China.
Men and women and children all over the country were saddened when they learned the news. Because the people have lost the grief of the people who always put the people first, many places have also lowered the national flag to half-mast and carried out heavy mourning activities for the death of ***.
** dedicated his life to the Chinese nation, from the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression to the founding of the People's Republic of China, ** firmly put the people first, and earnestly worked for the welfare of the people, and the Chinese people will never forget him.
The day after his death, many people from all over the country spontaneously went to Tiananmen Square in Beijing. Nearly one million people expressed their reluctance in Tiananmen Square, and countless people cried bitterly. At that time, due to the large number of people who went to mourn, there were soldiers at the scene to maintain order, and even medical personnel guarded the crowd in order to save people who fainted due to excessive sadness.
At that time, the weather was relatively hot, and people were excited, and many people were dehydrated and fainted. While the country is grieving, many leaders and leaders of other countries have also expressed their condolences for the death of ***. Waldheim, then Secretary-General of the United NationsPraise *** for being an excellent politician and philosopher.
**All his life, he has filled his heart with the people and has a deep feeling for the people. He has always regarded himself as a member of the people, during his time in Yan'an, he always worked with the local people, and he dressed very plainly, even if his clothes and pants were torn, he continued to wear them.
** He has been serving the people all his life, risking his life to make a revolution since he was young, and he has always worked for the welfare of the people, and he is a leader who came out of the masses. In his heart, the people are always in the first place. He always believed that the strength of the masses of the people is enormous, and the people are the creators of history.
Sadly, before his death, 7Level 8 of Tangshan University**. Later, when he was seriously ill, he was concerned about the situation of the people. When he learned that **caused a large number of people**, ** cried loudly, he felt sorry for the people in the disaster.
After his death, it was decided to build a memorial hall and a special design working group was formed. The working group spent nearly two months visiting many places in Beijing, especially Xiangshan, Zhongnanhai, Tiananmen Square and other places. **The final location of the memorial hall is in Tiananmen Square, and the main reason for consideration is the deep feelings of the people.
At that time, the preliminary idea of the experts was that ** had been fighting for China all his life, fighting in the south and the north, and experiencing all kinds of ups and downs. Based on this idea, the working group put forward dozens of plans for **, including Zhongnanhai, Beihai, Jingshan Park, Xiangshan and other places, but they were all rejected one by one.
Although Zhongnanhai is the place where *** lived before his death, it is also the office of ***. If the site of the memorial hall is located in Zhongnanhai, people's visits will definitely affect the work of the first class. And Yingtai was once the place where the Empress Dowager Cixi imprisoned Emperor Guangxu, so it was a little inappropriate to let *** sleep in peace.
Beihai and the Summer Palace were also rejected because although they are not office locations, the park is a place for people to have fun. If the *** memorial hall is built here, it will not match the relaxed atmosphere of the park. Therefore, Beihai and the Summer Palace are not good choices.
Later, Xiangshan became the most suitable memorial address, and ** lived there for a period of time, during which time he commandedCrossing the river to fightand published a series of programmatic documents. Xiangshan has an important historical position and beautiful scenery, but it is still vetoed because it is a little far from the city of Beijing, which will bring inconvenience to the people to visit.
Jingshan Park, as a beautiful scenic area, was also vetoed. Because although it is in the center of the capital, it is still a little far from Tiananmen Square. After these places with mountains and rivers were rejected, the design team, which was at a loss, finally set their sights on Tiananmen Square.
For many people, both at home and abroad, Tiananmen Square is a symbol of China. Even if there are many people who have never been to Beijing, Tiananmen Square has an important place in their hearts. Looking back, Tiananmen Square in the feudal era was just a city gate at that time.
The capital of the Ming and Qing dynasties was Beijing, the Forbidden City was the place where the emperor lived and managed the government, and Tiananmen Square was the south gate of the Forbidden City at that time. In the late Qing Dynasty and the ** period, social turmoil at home and abroad was unbearable, and Tiananmen Square was also destroyed. AsMay Fourth MovementThe birthplace of Tiananmen Square has become a symbol of the struggle of the Chinese nation.
On October 1, 1949, ** stood on the tower of Tiananmen Gate and announced the founding of the People's Republic of China to the world. **The first five-star red flag was raised in Tiananmen Square, and after that, the army was paraded here several times.
Tiananmen Square can be said to bear witness to history and has great political and cultural significance. Geographically, Tiananmen Square is located in the center of Beijing and south of the Forbidden City, and is one of the symbolic buildings in the capital.
In the end, after repeated thinking, the design team decided that only when the memorial hall was built in Tiananmen Square could it be in line with his lifelong struggle for the people. After the design team narrowed the scope to the south of Tiananmen Square, still without determining a specific location, the experts later proposed three options.
The first scheme is that the *** Memorial Hall is next to the Monument to the People's Heroes, but the Monument to the People's Heroes was built in memory of the revolutionary martyrs. If these two buildings commemorating different figures were placed together, they would become a single entity, thus losing their separate political significance.
The second plan is that the *** Memorial Hall is close to Zhengyang GateHowever, the Zhengyangmen Tower is 42 meters high, and it will have an overwhelming feeling for the memorial hall. The third plan is to demolish the Zhengyang Gate and build the *** Memorial Hall there. However, Zhengyangmen is a well-preserved ancient building, and if it is demolished, it will also be a loss to the country.
In the end, the working group decided not to demolish Zhengyangmen, and on the premise of not damaging the city tower, the location of the ** memorial hall was determined in the middle of Zhengyangmen Gate and the Monument to the People's Heroes, and it was far away from the Tiananmen Tower. In addition, the memorial hall is located between the Great Hall of the People and the Museum of Historical Revolution, which is of great political significance.
And the above is the reason why the memorial hall was finally located in Tiananmen Square.
After the specific location of the memorial hall was finalized, the architectural form aroused everyone's discussion. Most of the suggestions are that the memorial hall must be built to be grand and mighty to express the great spirit of the world. However, if the construction is too large, it will be easy to be out of harmony with the buildings next to it.
Later, a professor named Yang Tingbao proposed to design the *** Memorial Hall as a square building. In that case, not only will the shape be simple and will not conflict too much with the surrounding buildings, but at the same time, it will have a solemn atmosphere. Eventually, the design team was able to design a sketch of the memorial hall at the suggestion of the professor.
On November 9, 1976, the Engineering Command was established. The construction team also came to Tiananmen Square with an important mission, and they solemnly swore in front of the portrait in front of the city tower that they must build a memorial hall for the first time. In the end, the construction team took only six months to build the memorial hall.
On August 20 of the following year, **'s body was moved to the memorial hall. On September 9th, the inauguration ceremony of the ** Memorial Hall was held ceremoniously, and the audience observed silence。During the entire process from the design of the memorial to its final completion, the experts and workers were very time-sensitive, and they often remained working at night. In the end, with their efforts, there is today's *** Memorial Hall.
** All his life, he has been fighting for the people, and the people of the whole country love him from the bottom of their hearts. **The memorial hall is located in Tiananmen Square, on the one hand, it is convenient for the people to visit***, on the other hand, the location of the memorial hall also forms a whole with the surrounding buildings, making Tiananmen Square more majestic and solemn.
The Great Leader *** may be gone forever, but his spirit lives on. In that era of war and strife, although he was the son of an ordinary farmer at the beginning, he loved to read since he was a child. When I saw countless people experiencing a miserable life, I was determined to fight for the motherland.
When he was young, he first actively absorbed advanced ideas, and later joined the Communist Party of China and worked hard for the revolutionary cause.
Zunyi ConferenceLater, ** began to get more and more people's attention. In the end, under his leadership, the eight-year War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was won, and the four-year War of Liberation also achieved a great victory.
Looking back on his life, he has worked hard since he was young, read a lot of books, and actively looked for ways to save China and a path suitable for China. He lived a simple life, came from the people, went to the people, never detached himself from the masses of the people, and earnestly proceeded from the perspective of the masses to seek benefits for the people.
He dedicated his life to the Chinese nation, whether it was the last century or this era, the people have great respect and nostalgia for him. **Worthy of the respect of all the people, his spirit and thoughts also influence many Chinese.
