Early in the winter of 1927, ** walked on the road to the village of Yangqiaohu in Maoping. The early morning wind and snow slapped mercilessly on him, and he shivered with cold.
At this time, he was struggling with how to solve the problem of cotton clothes for the soldiers and people in the Jinggangshan base area. He thought to himself: "The landlord Xie Huaifu's family is all dependent on him for support, and they only wear a few single clothes in such a cold weather, how can I help them?" ”
When he walked to the door of the landlord's house, ** saw him, he immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Secretary, I came today to give you this cotton coat." The secretary was very surprised, and he looked at the PLA leader in front of him, his eyes full of admiration.
Smiling, he pointed to the cotton clothes on his body and said, "I'm very cold today, so I put on this cotton clothes." After saying that, he took off his cotton clothes and handed it to the secretary.
The secretary took the cotton coat with emotion, held it tightly in his hand, and his eyes flashed with tears as he looked at ***. * I put on the landlord's cotton clothes and immediately felt warm.
He secretly rejoiced in his heart, because he knew that this was not only a cotton coat, but also a rare warmth in winter. He recalled the landlord, Xie Huaifu's family, who lived in poverty, but still held fast to their beliefs.
He decided that he wanted to do his part to help them get through it. In 1965, when the landlord Xie Huaifu learned that *** had returned to Jinggangshan, he immediately went to visit ***
However, the guards refused his request. The Chairman came to ask what had happened. The landlord, Xie Huaifu, told the story of that year, which surprised the chairman very much.
He didn't expect that the relationship between the two turned out to be a cotton coat. Hair.
One cold winter morning, ** suddenly thought of visiting his fellow villager Xie Huaifu, because he heard that Xie Huaifu's family was living a very difficult life. So, ** walked out of the door and heard the faint sound of chopping wood in front of him, he followed the sound to look for the past, and found that Xie Huaifu was chopping wood in the cold wind.
Xie Huaifu was only wearing a thin single coat, his body had been frozen purple, and his mouth had been frozen black. Seeing this scene, ** walked over to help him chop wood and gave him a cotton coat.
Xie Huaifu was grateful, but he still insisted on not wanting this cotton clothes, because this was *** cotton clothes, and he felt that he couldn't accept it. However, ** insisted that he accept it, and told him: "We Communists, whether we hold a pen or carry a gun, are all born with firewood and should help each other, regardless of each other." ”
After hearing this, Xie Huaifu was deeply moved. Xie Huaifu's family of five is supported by him alone, and life is very difficult. Although he was a member of Mao at that time, he saw that the soldiers of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army were still wearing single clothes, and he couldn't bear it, so he refused the cotton clothes sent to him by the soldiers of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army.
However, this selfless dedication of his touched the workers of the Red Army quilt factory, and they once again sent a cotton coat, hoping that *** would stay. ** was about to refuse, but thinking of the situation when he saw the landlord Xie Huaifu scooping rice in the cold wind, he agreed to accept this cotton coat.
Xie Huaifu's wife was very angry when she heard that *** gave her cotton clothes, and she scolded her husband and asked him to return the cotton clothes as soon as possible. However, Xie Huaifu insisted on keeping this cotton coat, and he told his wife that it was given to him by ***, and he couldn't let *** get cold.
In the end, Xie Huaifu's wife also agreed with him to keep the cotton clothes. Later, Xie Huaifu took a basket of charcoal to visit ***, and he told *** that this was specially prepared for him, hoping that *** could accept it.
However, ** insisted on not accepting it, and he told Xie Huaifu that their team was disciplined and could not take a stitch from the people, so he couldn't accept it. In the end, ** persuaded Xie Huaifu, he gave the money to Xie Huaifu and asked Xie Huaifu to take the charcoal away.
Half a month later, ** found Xie Huaifu again, he told Xie Huaifu that he needed a load of charcoal, Xie Huaifu was very surprised, he told *** that he had given a load of charcoal to ***
However, ** told Xie Huaifu that he didn't need that much charcoal, which he wanted to use to make a fire. Finally, ** took the charcoal, used it to make a fire, and burned it.
After Wei Dianniang learned what happened, she excitedly shook ***'s hand. Never before has an army treated the population like this, not only not plundering their resources, but also helping them out of their own pockets.
Xie Huaifu was moved by *** again, it is really their luck to have such a leader! After returning to the house, Xie Huaifu has been rubbing the cotton clothes on his body, if such thick clothes are cut and cut, maybe he can make a new winter clothes for the two children.
It's just that this is *** for him, if it is cut to make clothes for the child, will he not be happy? On this day, he went out to work, passed by ***'s room, felt the warmth of the cotton clothes on his body, and he felt that he should visit ***
After Xie Huaifu greeted the correspondent, he gently pushed open the hidden door, only to see *** wearing two single clothes lying on the table and concentrating on what he was writing. He couldn't believe his eyes, and subconsciously rubbed his eyes.
He thought that in such a cold weather, Commissar Mao should wear thick cotton clothes. He never thought that *** would only wear two single clothes, he felt that the cotton clothes on his body were hot, and the guilt made him sob.
**Interrupted by his sobbing, after seeing Xie Huaifu standing at the door, he smiled and said, "Old Xie, why are you here?" "Commissar Mao, I'd better return this cotton coat to you, I can't wear it." ”
He didn't expect *** to give him the only cotton clothes to wear. "This garment is more useful on you than it is on me. You go out a lot and need cotton clothes to keep out the cold. ”
In just a few words, he burst into tears, and he couldn't say anything except admiration. **I often take the Red Army soldiers to carry water and chop wood for the common people, and the common people like to be with ***.
He re-walked JinggangshanJinggangshan is the first rural revolutionary base opened up by the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, which is of great significance to the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army. After the liberation, he has always been very concerned about the people of Jinggangshan and the construction of Jinggangshan, and he has repeatedly learned from local cadres about the construction of Jinggangshan and the people's lives.
When he heard that the people of Jinggangshan had built a hydropower station, the grain output had doubled, and the people had lived in new tiled houses, he was happy for them. The people of Jinggangshan don't miss it
In the dark days when they were ruled by the reactionaries in the past, they looked forward day and night that they could lead the Red Army back to Jinggangshan and make decisions for them. After the liberation, they hope to return here again and witness the changes on Jinggang Mountain.
Every time they see a guest from Beijing, they always earnestly ask the guest to tell this wish, and they have always wanted to see the earth-shaking changes in Jinggang Mountain with their own eyes, but the development of New China is inseparable from him.
In 1965, ** finally found time to return to Jinggangshan. This time I went to Jinggangshan*** I didn't want too many people to know his itinerary, and I was worried about causing trouble to the places I passed through.
On May 21, accompanied by Wang Dongxing, Zhang Pinghua and Liu Junxiu, he went to Jinggangshan, looked at the new Jinggangshan, and couldn't help but sigh.
Although the matter of returning to Jinggangshan was not publicized to the public, many people still learned of the news. The person they think about day and night is right in front of them, how can they not see each other?
Xie Huaifu and several old people discussed going to visit *** their group 38 years ago, they were taken care of, ** the behavior of sending charcoal in the snow back then, they remembered it.
Since *** was working, his guard refused Xie Huaifu's request for them to meet ***. The guards didn't know what happened between these old men and ***, and they just complied with their job duties.
On the basis of the Chairman's observation, I will divide the interviews into four groups. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the reception officially began. **Appeared on the small flat field in front of the Jinggangshan Hotel, and suddenly the people in Jinggangshan were boiling and their emotions were high.
People's cheers can be heard everywhere: "* Yes*** Surrounded by the masses, he slowly walked through the crowd, and finally stopped in front of the revolutionary old man Xie Huaifu, who looked affectionately at the revolutionary old man full of vicissitudes in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, more than 30 years have passed. The scene of borrowing at Xie Huaifu's house is still vivid. From 1927 to 1928, ** lived in Xie Huaifu's home many times, and his feelings for him were deeper than ordinary people.
When he suffered from the enemy in Jinggangshan, he also sent people to send silver dollars to visit them, and he always thought about the people of Jinggangshan in his heart all these years. “*
Although he had a stomach full of words in his heart that he wanted to say, after seeing ***, he was too emotional and could only say these three words in the end. "Take care of yourself! * Smile and comfort him.
After feeling the encouragement of ***, he sorted out his mood and said: "* The revolutionary style and revolutionary spirit you established in Jinggangshan back then, you brought it to Ruijin, Yan'an, Beijing, and now you have brought it back to Jinggangshan!" ”
**After meeting with the revolutionary elders and cadres, he walked out of the small square and walked towards a highway. There, more than 1,700 members, students, cadres and workers from Ciping, Nashan, Luofu, and various villages in Jinggangshan were waiting for the arrival of ***.
No matter how you go, the crowd will erupt in a warm cheer: "Long live the chairman!" Under everyone's watchful eye, he left the place and never returned.
