During his visit to the Soviet Union, Hou Bo jumped the table, and Khrushchev praised him as the person around him.
In 1961, Hou Bo was about to leave her beloved ***, which was a parting after working by ***'s side for 11 years. During this period of time, she left a precious image record for many comrades in *** and **.
In order to shoot high-quality films, Hou Bo made many personal sacrifices, and even put his own safety at risk. As a special photographer around him, Hou Bo's work fanaticism left a deep impression on Khrushchev.
In November 1957, during his visit to the Soviet Union, the great leader's visit to sign the Moscow Declaration with the Soviet Union, journalists from all over the world came to the conference hall to document this historic moment.
For this visit, ** also brought his exclusive photographer - Hou Bo. Why, then, was Hou Bo remembered by Khrushchev? What did she contribute to the signing ceremony?
It all started with her husband, Xu Xiaobing. Xu Xiaobing and Hou Bo met while participating in the revolution, and they were like-minded, and soon became a couple, and together they experienced the arduous years of the Anti-Japanese War.
After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Xu Xiaobing worked in the Northeast Film Studio and gradually rose to the position of head of the photography section.
In that era when photography was still a rare technology, Xu Xiaobing, as a rare photographic talent, was often assigned various tasks. Watching her husband's hard work, Hou Bo decided to learn from him and become a professional photographer.
The couple often goes out to work together, sometimes taking on their own tasks and doing their own work. Once, Hou Bo received the task of taking pictures for ***, although he was a little nervous, but he still completed it successfully.
When she was about to leave, ** stopped her, it turned out that her husband was by ***'s side, and it was he who recommended Hou Bo, so that she had this precious opportunity.
**Asked her** person, she politely replied that she was from Xia County, Shanxi. Hearing this, ** smiled from ear to ear and said, "Xia County is Guan Yunchang's hometown, it's amazing!" ”
In the end, ** offered to take a photo with Xu Xiaobing and his wife, which made them excited. This ** was carefully preserved by Hou Bo and hung on the wall of the living room, becoming the most precious memory of the couple.
Hou Bo deeply admires ***'s talent, humor and high emotional intelligence, and he can always deal with various social situations calmly, and his mind is full of rare and interesting stories and memories.
To this end, she is obsessed with documenting all of this, hoping to become the essence of her photography work. Soon after, Hou Bo joined the Beijing Film Studio and was recognized by *** and was transferred to Zhongnanhai as the first photographer, which means that she can be by ***'s side at any time and become his full-time photographer.
** At the World Conference of Communist Party and Workers' Representatives on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the revolution, the Soviet Union invited the Chinese side to participate. ** and other Chinese delegates went to the Soviet Union to attend the conference and signed the Moscow Declaration.
As they prepared to sign the declaration, journalists from all over the world prepared their cameras and rushed to record this historic moment. However, Hou Bo, the personal photographer of **, could not squeeze into the front row because of his small size, so he could only look ahead anxiously.
Finally, she decided to take action, put her hand on the French journalist's shoulder, jumped straight onto the conference table, and immediately pressed the door button, successfully recording this meaningful moment.
Khrushchev was taken by surprise by this bold move, and he immediately questioned who Hou Bo was and who dared to be so bold. Hou Bo couldn't understand Russian, but fortunately, *** immediately relieved her and told Khrushchev that this was the photographer brought by ***.
Hearing this, Khrushchev repeatedly praised Hou Bo for her courage and personality, worthy of being the person around her, and admired her professionalism very much.
During his visit to the Soviet Union, the President and his entourage also visited local students. In the auditorium of Moscow State University, the chairman of the ** gave a speech, and these exciting moments were recorded by Hou Bo with his camera one by one.
A few days later, at the military parade on Red Square, **Chairman, ** and others attended in person, and Hou Bo also captured this historic moment with her lens. The visit left a deep impression on Hou Bo, and although she was only a small photography assistant at the conference, she did her job brilliantly.
Over the years, Hou Bo has been following *** and witnessed many great moments, but the most exciting thing is the day of the founding ceremony.
At the important moment of the founding ceremony, Hou Bo shouldered a heavy responsibility and recorded the historical moment of the founding of New China with his own lens. However, her camera is an old-fashioned camera that doesn't autofocus.
In order to shoot a beautiful **, she bravely climbed the railing of the Tiananmen Tower and leaned on the railing to shoot. Despite the towers and dangers of her actions, Hou Bo was undaunted and her professionalism was admirable.
** The prime minister appeared in time, grabbed her, and expressed his concern and protection for her with practical actions. On the other side, ** grabbed her tightly to ensure her safety.
In the end, Hou Bo completed all the work, and her ** successfully recorded the historical moment of the founding ceremony. Her professionalism and selfless dedication are worth learning and inheriting.
Hou Bo served *** in Zhongnanhai for 12 years, during which he established a deep friendship with the chairman and filmed many classic ***. Now, she is about to be transferred, and at the time of parting, the chairman told her that she could contact him at any time no matter what difficulties she encountered in the future.
Hou Bo was moved, she knew that this friendship and these ** would last forever.
