In 1976, ** passed away, the United Nations flags were lowered at half-mast in mourning, and more than 100 countries around the world mourned. However, there is one country that has spoken out and even wants to take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos.
So, which country is it? How do the people of the world mourn ***? Today we are going to talk about this topic.
At 0:10 a.m. on September 9, 1976, the great leader *** was immortalized in Zhongnanhai at the age of 83. For a time, the people of the whole country were immersed in endless grief.
But the departure of *** not only deeply deplored the Chinese, but also attracted widespread attention around the world. Just 15 minutes after the news broke, all the mainstream ** reported it, and there was a global silence in memory of this great man.
The United Nations headquarters even lowered the flag at half-mast the next day to show condolences to ***. At the same time, the heads of state of 123 countries sent a total of 169 messages of condolence, including some countries with which relations with China had been tense in the past.
Even, our sworn enemy, the United States, has given *** a very high evaluation. Former American leader Richard Nixon once said: "* was a revolutionary leader of extraordinary courage and firm of thought, and he was the most remarkable of all revolutionary leaders." ”
Nixon quoted *** poems to mourn, and the United States ** Ford mourned for the first time, and the United States ** spoke highly of ***. Under the leadership of the People's Republic of China, the People's Republic of China has developed from a semi-feudal country dominated by agriculture to a major nuclear and oil-producing country.
On the road to China's rise, he ended a century of humiliation, successfully abolished all unequal treaties in the West, and won the recognition and respect of the whole world. Even Japan, a former enemy, praised him.
Former Japanese Prime Minister Takeo Miki publicly stated that ** is not only the founder of the People's Republic of China, but also a great leader who leads 800 million Chinese. However, Minister of Finance Ohira Masayoshi deeply lamented that the loss of its last giant in this century will have an immeasurable long-term impact on China and the world.
Whenever I think of never being able to see *** again, my heart is full of loneliness and loneliness, he is a great man with a mind like the sea.
According to statistics, tens of thousands of mourners, including celebrities from all walks of life in Japan, went to the Chinese Embassy and the Chinese Consulate General in Osaka to express their condolences. In addition, other Western countries have also expressed deep condolences over the death of China's leader, Chairman ***.
Giscard d'Estaing, France, said: "The passing of the President is a great loss to the human mind. He came from the bottom of the Chinese people, but he led the people to rid themselves of the humiliation of the past, and with his unique courage and decisive thinking, he succeeded in placing China at the center of history. ”
After learning the news, the people of Paris spontaneously held a march of more than 10,000 people to show their condolences. The French government has also decided to let all public buildings across the country fly flags at half-mast in mourning.
After his death, in addition to Western countries, the countries of the socialist camp also expressed their deep condolences for him. Kim Il Sung, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, said that the socialist revolution and construction led by the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) had achieved great success and that he was a veritable great man.
North Korea** also issued a "Joint Decision on the Death of ***", and nationwide mourning activities were held. Pakistani Prime Minister Bhutto directly praised *** as a "giant among giants" in a message of condolence, and Pakistani **Joad did not hesitate to praise *** as one of the most outstanding leaders who changed the Chinese revolution and affected the lives of a quarter of the world's population.
While the world is mourning the passing of ***, for our people at home, our grief has only just begun. **Yang Zhengquan, deputy director of People's Radio, was one of the first to learn of the bad news.
He was urgently summoned to the director's office at around 5 a.m., only to receive news of the chairman's death. He conveyed the news to the people who were about to participate in the broadcast, and everyone was shocked, and many people couldn't stop crying.
At 2:30 p.m. on September 9, the Party Committee of Tsinghua University held a meeting of cadres above the level of party branch secretary, which was attended by 800 people. The leaders of the party committee announced the news of the death of the chairman, and the whole venue immediately resounded with grief-stricken cries.
After hearing the news, General Tan Zheng, a general of the People's Liberation Army, suddenly reclined on the sofa, his face was pale, and it was difficult to breathe.
When the People's Radio announced the news at 4 p.m. on September 9, the whole country was in shock, as if the sky had fallen. Writer Ye Shengtao wrote in his diary: "The fall of the superstar is not only our country, the whole world will always miss him. ”
Other celebrities, such as Feng Youlan and Zhang Boju, also wrote elegiac couplets to express their condolences. The ordinary people were even more grief-stricken, and the workers of a factory in Wuhan hugged their heads and cried, and some people cried and shouted: "What should I do, the chairman is gone, what if this changes everything!"
We are going to experience pain and hardship again. Most of the people in the factory wore black veils, and even a few old ladies from neighborhood committees spontaneously went to the streets to check to see if anyone was not wearing black veils.
On this special day, most of the children born are named "Nian Ze Si Dong Nian Dong". However, the most tragic thing about the death of the chairman was the poor middle peasants in the commune brigade.
When they heard this, they rolled on the ground in agony and lamented: "*Ah, how can you leave us? How are we going to live......On September 11, 1976, the Great Hall of the People held a solemn condolence ceremony for the chairman, attended by more than 300,000 representatives from all walks of life.
In the end, hundreds of thousands of attendees bowed deeply three times to the portrait of Chairman ***. At the same time, a military band of 500 people played "Dongfang Hong" on the spot.
In such an atmosphere, the memorial meeting officially came to an end.
** The scale of the commemoration was the largest in the world. Black veils were worn all over the country, some for a whole month, and there were 284 mourning halls and 271 wreaths in Yiyang, Hunan alone.
In addition, branch venues were set up in various places for memorial services, and factories, schools, and shops were temporarily closed that afternoon. ** The remains are permanently preserved for people to see.
But what is surprising is that, despite this, as early as 1956, ** had already signed the proposal for the cremation of the remains and had chosen a cemetery for himself.
Before his death, he expressed the hope that "dust will return to dust and dust will return to earth", but due to political needs, the Politburo decided to keep his body permanently. At a time when people around the world are mourning, there is one country that is disrespectful to the president and even takes advantage of the fire, and it is the Soviet Union.
As the big brother of the socialist camp, the Soviet Union should have said something about the death of ***, but none of the major Moscow newspapers reported this, and only a small newspaper, Izvestia, published a brief report in a corner of the penultimate page.
The day after his death, the USSR openly criticized *** Thought through TASS, and published an article in Pravda that threatened China.
The article makes it clear that if China does not reconcile with the USSR within a month, the USSR will take"Irreversible decisions", which is clearly a naked threat. Why, then, did the USSR choose to threaten China on this special day?
Here's why"China and the Soviet Union were at loggerheads"。Looking back at the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, our relations with the Soviet Union were very good, and we even put forward"One-sided"of foreign policy.
The USSR also fulfilled the duties of the big brother of the socialist camp, allocated large sums of money to us and sent a large number of specialists. However, over time, relations between the two countries gradually deteriorated, eventually leading to the situation they are today.
During that period, the Soviet Union assisted us in 156 important projects and laid the industrial foundation for our country, the most famous of which was the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, the first bridge on the Yangtze River.
However, a rift soon appeared in relations between the two sides, and the USSR not only withdrew specialists and equipment, but also deployed hundreds of thousands of troops in the Far East. This was mainly due to the attitude of the USSR - they called themselves "Lao Tzu Party".
For example, in 1958, the Soviet Union proposed the creation of long-wave radio stations on Chinese territory and in the sea, which was a clear violation of China's sovereignty. At that time, China was short of technology and specialized personnel, and if long-wave radio stations and the Common Fleet were established, China would have been militarily controlled by the Soviet Union and would have become a vassal state of the Soviet Union, just like the US military bases in Japan today.
**'s spirit of independence and self-determination frustrated the Soviet Union's desire for control, and relations between the two countries began to deteriorate. In addition, the hostility between China and the Soviet Union also stemmed from the ideological differences between the two sides.
Khrushchev's "three-peace line" tried to divide the world equally with the United States, but in the opinion of ***, this did not correspond to China's interests and position.
Khrushchev's policy led to the fact that the rest of the socialist camp had to sacrifice their own interests for the sake of the Soviet Union, thus making Soviet "revisionism" the protagonist of history.
Although China is one of them, our country has a firm demand for sovereignty and interests, and will not easily succumb to the will of the Soviet Union. In order to express our position, during the period from September 6, 1963 to July 14, 1964, ** personally published nine articles in which he made profound criticisms and comments on the CPSU, which is the historical "Nine Commentaries on the CPSU".
This incident caused Sino-Soviet relations to fall into an 18-year trough, and it was not until 1982 that Sino-Soviet relations thawed when Brezhnev, the general secretary of the CPSU, delivered the Tashkent speech.
In 1976, our beloved *** passed away, and Sino-Soviet relations were at a low point at that time. The Soviet Union even made insulting remarks, taking the opportunity to suppress China in an attempt to profit from it.
This once again confirms a truth, the weak will always be bullied, and only when they are strong can they be truly independent. It is precisely because of the persistence of the great leader that our country can lay the foundation for self-improvement and leave a blue sky of freedom for future generations.
