Meng Jinyun is ***Kowtow on the birthday.
December 26, 1975 was the 82nd birthday of Chairman *** and his last birthday. On this day, his two daughters, Li Min and Li Ne, who were far away from home, returned to Zhongnanhai, and the chairman's face showed a long-lost smile.
Prior to this, the chairman actually seemed a little lonely in Zhongnanhai because his children were not around. Since he turned 80 years old, every year around his birthday, the chairman would talk about life and death with the secretaries around him.
The phrase that often hung on the chairman's lips, "Seventy-three, eighty-four, Hades does not invite himself to go" is exactly the words he hears most often.
On the day of his 82nd birthday, Meng Jinyun, the secretary of **, kowtowed deeply to *** in accordance with the customs of his hometown, which was also the only time before *** accepted kowtow from others on his birthday.
This ceremony brought a rare joy to ***'s lonely old age, and also gave Meng Jinyun a little comfort. How did she become ***'s secretary? What kind of friendship does she have with ***?
**After his death, what did Meng Jinyun do? The first meeting between Meng Jinyun and *** can be said to be a destined fate. ** Affectionately call her "half a little fellow" and "Meng Fuzi".
Meng Jinyun was born in Wuhan, Hubei, and was admitted to the Kongzheng Song and Dance Troupe at the age of 12 and was selected into the dance cadet class. At that time, the students of the dance class of the Kongzheng Song and Dance Troupe had a special task, that is, to accompany the leaders of Zhongnanhai to dance.
In 1963, Meng Jinyun was not yet 15 years old, and he had no chance to be selected into Zhongnanhai, but because the predecessors of the song and dance troupe got married, had children, and had a dilemma between family and career, this task finally fell on Meng Jinyun.
Meng Jinyun trained hard in the song and dance troupe, smart and studious, although she was young, she was already able to take charge of herself, and the seniors of the song and dance troupe affectionately called her "Xiao Meng".
One day in April 1963, Xiao Meng and her colleagues changed into civilian clothes, got into a jeep sent by Zhongnanhai, passed through an ancient palace-like building, passed through a deep winding corridor, and finally stopped in front of a big red gate.
The horizontal plaque above the big red door reads "Spring Lotus Zhai" three big characters, which is the destination of Xiao Meng and his colleagues, and it is also the place where the leaders relax every weekend.
On that day, the big red door was open, and Xiao Meng and his colleagues stepped in. Different from everyone's imagination, all kinds of furnishings in the hall are very modern, whether it is carpets, sofas, coffee tables, wall lamps or large curtains, etc., they all look neat and bright, and the soft lighting makes people relax instantly.
This greatly eased the tension of Xiao Meng and his colleagues, and everyone sat down on the sofa in the hall and waited quietly. After a while, the leaders walked in one after another, and the band was ready to accompani.
Everyone danced a few songs, and the atmosphere in the ballroom became even more lively. It wasn't until 10 p.m. that the ** finale appeared.
People stood in the ballroom, stopped, danced to a standstill, all eyes focused on the red gate that led to the interior. Then, I saw *** walk in calmly.
On that day, he was dressed simply, just wearing a wide gray tunic that looked extremely comfortable both at the cuffs and the cuffs of his trousers. After walking into the ballroom, he sat on the sofa, picked up the wet towel on the coffee table, wiped his face, and then happily accepted the invitation of the art troupe, walked to the ballroom**, and danced.
His dance steps are confident and free, and the whole person looks very relaxed. Xiao Meng looked at the *** in the dance hall that the sense of mystery seemed to disappear without a trace, she never dreamed that in the past, she could only sing in songs, see in books, and the leader *** told by the elders was now in front of her, less than two meters away from her, he was still smiling and dancing.
A brave step: Xiao Meng mustered up the courage to invite *** to dance, although she was a little nervous, but ***'s encouragement made her gradually relax. Their dance was a song "Happy Meeting", and the chairman also asked her name and place of origin, which shortened the distance between their hearts.
Since then, Xiao Meng will participate in the dance party every weekend, and the chairman affectionately calls her "half a little fellow".
Xiao Meng's acquaintance with *** is full of childlike fun and humor. His seriousness and *** can't help but laugh, making people feel as if they have been friends for many years.
Even though they came from different places, they both remember each other's conversations and laughter fondly. Later, Meng Jinyun became the person next to him, responsible for his daily life and reading books and newspapers.
Their acquaintance and interaction make people feel extremely warm and cordial.
Listening to *** talk about reading, ** always like to share the experience of reading with others and ask some questions. However, although Meng Jinyun has read some books, he cannot fully understand the deep meaning.
Whenever this happens, ** will always suggest in his unique humorous tone: "Mengfuzi, you should read more." When Meng Jinyun first came to work beside ***, his deepest impression was the bed full of books in ***'s bedroom.
At that time, the sleeping place was a special wooden bed, half of the bed was used for sleeping, and the other half was piled with books. **I like to sit on the bed and read, and when I am tired, I will lie down and read directly, and even if I am uncomfortable lying down, I will change to the other side.
**When he first moved to Zhongnanhai, a staff member once changed him to a comfortable spring bed without authorization, but he was reprimanded by ***, he said: "What kind of spring bed, I just want that wide wooden bed." ”
This is ***'s attitude towards reading, he always learns and explores with an open mind, and constantly challenges his knowledge boundaries.
There is a bookshelf in his bedroom filled with his favorite and frequently read books. He also has some books on his bed, which seem to be disorganized, but in fact they are in order.
Even if his eyes are bad, he can quickly find the book he wants to read. However, one day, he said to Meng Jinyun: "Xiao Meng, help me find the book "Zizhi Tongjian" to read. ”
Meng Jinyun searched for the sea of books on the sheets, but felt a little overwhelmed. In the end, it was *** that accurately pointed out the location of the book, which was a book that had been turned very old and densely packed with annotations.
Pick it up and say with emotion: "Master Mengzi, do you know how many times I have read it? Meng Jinyun replied: "17 times." * Raise your finger and gesture: "This is a rare and good book, and every time I read it, I will benefit a lot."
Now, I'm afraid it's the last time I read it, and I don't have time. ”
Commissar Mao seemed a little melancholy, but soon regained his calm tone: "Mengfuzi, how much do you know about this book?" Meng Jinyun couldn't help blushing when he heard Commissar Mao ask, and said shyly: "I only heard the teacher mention it, and I know that it was a history book written by Sima Guang, but I don't know anything else." ”
This dialogue made Committee Member Mao aware of the problem that Meng Jinyun did not read much, so he often recommended a list of books to her, such as "Zizhi Tongjian" and "Dream of Red Mansions", which were all recommended by Committee Mao.
Meng Jinyun would smile and agree every time: "I'll try, but I'm afraid I won't be able to persevere." Mao Committee said seriously: "Mengfuzi, it's not about trying, reading doesn't depend on perseverance, but on interest, as long as you have interest, you won't feel tired when you read." ”
In his spare time, Mao and Meng Jinyun talk about the story in the book and the history behind it. If Meng Jinyun has a question, Commissioner Mao will answer it for her like a teacher.
I'm afraid this is the last time I'll read this book, not that I don't want to read it, but I don't have time. Hearing this, Meng Jinyun couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, but he could only do his best to make the chairman happier in his old age.
On December 26, 1975, **'s 82nd birthday, he specially invited his comrades who had worked beside him and **, and regarded this birthday as the last party with everyone.
Li Min and Li Ne came to Zhongnanhai early in the morning to celebrate their dear father's birthday.
On ***'s birthday, Meng Jinyun and his secretary Zhang Yufeng helped him to the living room. Seeing everyone in the living room, a smile was added to the chairman's face.
Meng Jinyun found that the chairman was in a good mood, so she proposed that according to the custom of her hometown, the child should kowtow to the old man to celebrate his birthday. The chairman waved his hand, indicating that he did not dare to be, but Meng Jinyun insisted on kowtowing to him.
The chairman looked at her sincerity and nodded. Subsequently, other staff members also kowtowed to the chairman. Although at first the chairman thought that Meng Jinyun was just joking, he saw that others did the same, and he felt a sense of sincerity from everyone.
The chairman began to share his story from his childhood, saying that his mother often took him to the temple to burn incense and worship the Bodhisattva, and that he was very young and believed in God very much. Whenever he kowtowed, he would pray that God would bless him.
He smiled and said to everyone, "If you kowtow to me today, then I will not become a god, and you will let me bless me." ”
At the birthday party, he expressed his gratitude to everyone and jokingly said, "It's not me who bless you, but you who bless me." Everyone laughed.
That day, there were only a few more dishes on the table of **, but he ate very happily and even commented that the food was "delicious". However, despite the blessings of the crowd and no miracles, **'s physical condition is gradually deteriorating.
After entering 1976, his health deteriorated, and finally on September 9, 1976, his heart stopped beating forever. **After her death, Meng Jinyun's work in Zhongnanhai ended, and she could finally have children.
Prior to this, she had not been able to have children due to work reasons. When she mentioned to Zhang Yufeng that she wanted to have a child, ** replied: "Wait another year, and when I die, she will ask for it again." ”
However, when this day really came, Meng Jinyun couldn't help but redden. Despite this, she still folded the last clothes that the chairman had changed out of neatly and continued to tidy up and tidy up in Zhongnanhai.
A month later, she finally left Zhongnanhai. Today, she lives an ordinary life, but the touching friendship between her and *** will always be praised.
