Hu Qiaomu suffered from cancer and said that he would liveyears old, died two months later.
In July 1992, Hu Qiaomu was rushed to the hospital due to the spread of cancer. This legendary figure, who was once known as the "first pen of the Communist Party of China", is 80 years old.
Time flies, and he is no longer as energetic as he was when he was younger, and he fights against illness every day. Gu Yu, who has been by his side for more than 50 years, is waiting for him day after day.
Whenever her husband felt unbearable pain, she would tell some stories about their time in Yan'an and by their side. Because she knew that for him, only these past events could ease his pain a little.
However, Hu Qiaomu actually knows his condition. He is a man who has been through the flames, and to this day, he is still convinced that a strong will can overcome everything, including cancer.
Hu Qiaomu once boasted that he would live to be 90 years old, which made Gu Yu know that he still had many unfulfilled wishes, and there must be something about ***. Hu Qiaomu was born in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province in 1912, and was admitted to the Department of History of Tsinghua University after graduating from high school.
He was keen on literature and history, so the September 18 incident changed his fate, he participated in the ranks of resisting Japan and saving the country, got in touch with our party, and engaged in many activities, such as running a patriotic newspaper, organizing reading clubs, cooperating with the activities of the underground party, and doing clerical work in the left-wing cultural league.
At that time, Hu Qiaomu was young and capable, and he would go all out as long as he received an order. Although his classmates often joked that he was not like a scholar, he never refuted it.
In 1937, he followed his superiors to Yan'an, full of enthusiasm for this red holy land. During his time in Yan'an, he was constantly observing and learning. One day, Wang Ruofei told him that ** decided to transfer him to be a secretary.
**Point my will? Hu Qiaomu was surprised. He never imagined that he would be favored by this great man. According to Wang Ruofei, it was because of the article he published in the magazine "China Youth" to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the May Fourth Movement, ** read it, appreciated it, and said: "Qiao Mu is a talent. ”
Although Hu Qiaomu had doubts about his secretarial work, he still accepted Wang Ruofei's persuasion and decided to give it a try. He came to Yangjialing in Yan'an and met *** who lived in a cave
Before meeting, Hu Qiaomu was uneasy, and he was so nervous that he didn't even know how to put his hand. But seeing *** "climbing the lattice" on the table that was barely a "desk", his nervousness gradually calmed down.
However, Hu Qiaomu was puzzled that ** did not assign him a job, but just said a few words to him and then buried himself in work again. He didn't dare to ask more, so he could only leave silently first.
The next day, Hu Qiaomu plucked up the courage to knock on the door again. This time, he saw that *** was proofreading a manuscript called "Since the Sixth National Congress", and he didn't have much time to talk to him.
So, he had an idea and said to the chairman, "I'll do this!" * Only then did he realize that Hu Qiaomu was short of work, so he stopped the pen in his hand and said to him with a smile: "You have found the right task!" ”
In the days around ***, Hu Qiaomu really saw what "high-intensity work" is. When the chairman writes, he often forgets to eat and sleep. Hu Qiaomu, who was born in Tsinghua University, thinks that he is creative, and he is always ashamed to see the chairman.
Therefore, every time the chairman writes something, he learns it over and over again.
1.Late one night in 1941, ** called Hu Qiaomu to his side, handed him a cigarette, and told him to write an editorial entitled "Su will win, Germany will lose".
** has been preparing for a long time and wants to write a weighty article, so he asked Hu Qiaomu to help him list his opinions. Although Hu Qiaomu was mainly responsible for proofreading and other work before, this was the first time that he was given a writing task.
Hu Qiaomu began to write as soon as he returned to his residence, and after an hour, the manuscript was completed. **Read it carefully, and after a few revisions, the article was published the next day.
This article made Hu Qiaomu famous, and also made him a "pen" around him. 2.Hu Qiaomu used to be the life-saving benefactor of ***.
In 1947, Hu Zongnan's army occupied Yan'an, leading several companies of guard troops and columns to operate under the noses of the enemy. During one of the marches, Hu Qiaomu disappeared, and the soldiers told him that he might have fallen into a pond.
**Ignoring the approach of the reactionaries, the soldiers were ordered to immediately go and save Hu Qiaomu. The soldiers successfully rescued Hu Qiaomu, and after seeing that he was safe and sound, they ordered to move on.
After Hu Qiaomu heard about this, he complained that he only thought about himself, and quietly shed tears. 3.Hu Qiaomu has followed *** for more than 20 years, from Yan'an to northern Shaanxi, and then to live in Zhongnanhai after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
** once praised in public: "Relying on arbors, there is food!" However, in 1961, Hu Qiaomu had to apply for a long leave of absence because his work was very stressful.
His articles must be published in newspapers such as "People's **", and every word must not be wrong, and the meaning of every sentence must be clear and unmistakable. Hu Qiaomu's job left him physically and mentally exhausted, so he made the decision to apply for a long-term leave.
In the eyes of the children, Hu Qiaomu is the "writing machine" in their minds. He continued to write no matter whether it was cold or hot, day or night. However, the long-term overwork caused his nervous breakdown to the extreme, and even affected his daily writing.
So, he applied to ***, hoping to recuperate for a long time and recover his health. After receiving the application, ** was deeply concerned and advised him: "You must recuperate for a long time, not for days, in order to heal".
Since then, Hu Qiaomu, who was once famous in the country as a "pen", has gradually faded out of public eye. However, this does not mean that the friendship between him and *** has changed.
Although Hu Qiaomu didn't have the opportunity to meet *** after that, they all remembered each other. On International Labor Day in 1967, ** suddenly changed his itinerary and took a car to Hu Qiaomu's home.
However, Hu Qiaomu did not have the east gate of his home, which led to the missed opportunity for this reunion. Despite this, Hu Qiaomu is still full of expectations for the arrival of ***, and he has made sufficient preparations in advance, hoping to see *** again
Hu Qiaomu, who received the ** notice, replied with tears: "Tell the chairman that I understand it." This turned out to be his last conversation with ***. On September 9, 1976, ** died of illness, and since then, Hu Qiaomu will sit on a bench every day for a morning, as if this can bring him closer to his chief.
Hu Qiaomu is not just a scholar, his pen is his **, whether it is used by *** when he was young, or he denounced the shameless behavior of the Japanese in his later years.
After hearing the news that the "New History of Japan" had been approved by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and Culture, he immediately rushed to Beijing and published an article entitled "The Logic of Vigilance Against Militarism."
On the one hand, he is good at uniting more people, and his articles are not only for the Chinese, but also for all Asian people who have been bullied by the Japanese; On the other hand, he is always good at finding problems from details, such as the difference between "aggression" and "entry", and he is good at laying out facts and reasoning.
After his article was published, it caused a stirring wave, and the Japanese right-wing was surprised by this, while many Chinese readers praised his writing.
Hu Qiaomu used his own words to carry out a long-term struggle against the Japanese right-wing forces, and even though his physical condition was getting worse and worse, he still insisted on compiling historical books related to Yan'an and being around him.
His work is not only a record of history, but also an important way to counter outrageous rhetoric. In the last few years of his life, Hu Qiaomu successfully published "Seventy Years of the Communist Party of China" and became one of the most important witnesses of the beacon years.
From his hospital bed, he expressed his hope that he would live to be 90 years old because he still had something to write and that he hoped to write a book of remembrances related to the chairman. Although he ultimately failed to fulfill this wish, his spirit and contributions will always be remembered.
Liu Danian, a famous historian in China, praised Hu Qiaomu as "one of those shining stars".
Hu Qiaomu's pen is not only a kind of strength, but also a kind of spiritual inheritance. In his heart, all achievements are due to the close connection he had with ***, allowing him to appreciate, listen and learn.
His efforts and dedication are not only reflected in his pen, but also in his admiration and loyalty. Today, we miss not only a chief and his secretary, but also a spirit of perseverance, an indelible faith.
