**Reminder** Take off your hat and observe etiquette
A hard-working, selfless, passionate, and tireless politician. He worked more than 12 hours a day, sometimes as long as 16 hours.
Even in the last moments of his struggle, he did not give up his work until the last moment of his life. ** Left us on January 8, 1976, and his passing was deeply saddened by the nation.
On January 10, party and state leaders, as well as representatives of people from all walks of life in the capital, went to Beijing Hospital one after another to bid farewell to the body of ***. ** was the first of the leaders to walk into the farewell hall, however, unexpectedly, Mr. Zhu was angry with her at the farewell party of her best friend's body.
So, why is that? What did you do to make you angry at your best friend's funeral?
In the bedroom, there is a **of**. This is a ** about the deep friendship between the two, they have experienced more than half a century of ups and downs together from knowing each other to intersecting.
In the bedroom, the furniture is simple, the bed is ordinary, there are no gorgeous furnishings, the only thing that attracts attention is the one**, in ** wearing reading glasses to read documents, and there is a flower towel in front.
This ** fully shows the admiration and love of *** for **. **'s daughter Zhu Min once said: "For decades, Uncle Zhou and his father have shared weal and woe, they respect each other, support each other, and care for each other. ”
This is a high evaluation of the friendship between the two old revolutionaries. The friendship between ** and ** began in the early 20s of the last century, when *** was looking for a way to save the country and the people in Europe, and became an important member of the Paris group.
One day in November 1922, in front of the ** house, two dusty young men knocked on the door. Passionately asked, "Is there anything you need my help with?" ”
One of the young men named ** said excitedly: "I am **, a native of Yilong, Sichuan, and my friend Sun Bingwen and I have made a special trip to find the Communist Party. "* knows the name of **, and understands his experience, he once participated in the war against Yuan Shikai and served as a brigade commander to protect **.
He felt happy to see ** himself, and then invited the two into the house. After talking all night, ** and Sun Bingwen told *** about their incomprehensible feelings of giving up ** Yulu and deciding to defect to the Communist Party but being rejected by Chen Duxiu, and said: "We are here this time to hope that you can introduce us to the party and do something for saving the country and the people!" ”
Listen carefully, ask them from time to time about the domestic situation and their views on the international communist movement, and write and draw in their notebooks. At that time, he was 36 years old and only 24 years old, but as one of the founders of the Communist Party of China, he was already an important person in charge of the Communist Party's organization in Europe.
* and *** from Moscow to Nanchang, to join the revolution together ** respect and appreciation for ** stems from his loyal and honest character, believing that he is a rare talent in the revolutionary ranks.
In the same way, he was deeply impressed by the talent and hospitality of ***. So, with the efforts of *** and Zhang Shenfu, ** and Sun Bingwen joined the Communist Party of China and began to fight for the revolution.
However, since he joined the party as a "special party member", he was required to go to Moscow, the Soviet Union, to study for a period of time, and then return to China. ** According to the instructions, after studying and living in Moscow for a period of time, he returned to China and joined the officer education regiment of the Third Army of the National Revolutionary Army in Nanchang, training early military backbones for our party.
In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Ching-wei betrayed the revolution and frantically arrested communists and patriots. In this case, ** was sent by *** to secretly go to Nanchang from Wuhan via Jiujiang to lead the Nanchang uprising.
At that time, he was already a member of the Politburo and the commander-in-chief of the Nanchang Uprising. And ** is a party member, who set up a "Hongmen banquet" in his residence, and successfully dragged several enemy regiment commanders, thereby weakening the strength of the enemy army.
From Moscow to Nanchang, they threw themselves into the revolution together and experienced countless difficulties and challenges, but they never gave up. Their friendship and cooperation laid a solid foundation for the success of the revolution in our country.
The Nanchang Uprising, the dawning star of history. Under the outstanding command of Ye Ting, ** and others, the rebel army stepped forward and confronted the counter-revolutionary armed forces with revolutionary arms, successfully firing the first shot of armed resistance against the Kuomintang reactionaries and opening the prelude to the Chinese revolution.
From secret cooperation to open cooperation, they jointly wrote a historical chapter of the Chinese revolution. However, in the face of the Kuomintang's fourth "encirclement and suppression", * served as the general political commissar of the Red Army, although he hoped that *** would personally lead and command, but Wang Ming, Bogu and others did not agree.
In desperation, ** and ** led the main force of the Red Army to the front line to fight. They judged the hour and sized up the situation, bravely faced difficulties, resolutely implemented the correct military strategy, and finally won the fourth victory against "encirclement and suppression."
This victory was not only a victory for the Red Army to defeat the strong with the weak and a successful victory over the strong enemy through mobile warfare, but also a manifestation of their military wisdom and a manifestation of their tactical "perfect combination."
** The Prime Minister was ill and repeatedly expressed to those around him his desire to do more for the revolution. But in 1972, he was suffering from heart disease and cancer, which required constant attention.
Despite this, he still insisted on working and made great efforts for the construction of the motherland.
**, a lifetime of dedication to the people, and then death. From March 11 to 15, 1974, he was admitted to Hospital 305 for a full examination and was diagnosed with cancer**.
From June 1 to August of the same year, the cancer metastasized further. During his hospitalization, he underwent more than a dozen surgeries from his first major surgery on June 1 to his last surgery on January 5 of the following year, with an average of about one operation every 40 days.
In the face of the pain of illness, he has always been strong and optimistic, actively cooperating, hoping to understand the true condition of his body in order to prepare for the unfinished business.
He once told the health care doctor Dr. Zhang: "I must tell me the real situation, and I can make up my mind!" He also said to the medical staff: "You must tell the truth, I still have a lot of work to do, and I have to give an account." ”
Even while he was in the hospital, he cared about other sick leaders and comrades. He once said: "He cares about other people's diseases, more than himself, more than himself." ”
Therefore, it was decided that during the period of treatment and recuperation, *** would serve as the first deputy prime minister, preside over the meeting and submit important documents on behalf of ***. **'s life reflects his noble spirit of dedication to the people and his death.
At the beginning of 1975, the Prime Minister said at the executive meeting: "My physical condition is getting worse and worse, but I still have to participate in the work of ***, and I hope to see everyone every week." ”
Despite the extreme weakness of his body, the Prime Minister was still concerned about his work and his comrades. Even in the hospital bed, he did not rest completely, but insisted on working.
According to his guard Gao Zhenpu, ** did not increase his rest because of illness, nor did he reduce his work because of illness. Gao Zhenpu once counted that from his hospitalization on June 1, 1974 to his death on January 8, 1976, in the last 587 days of his life, he talked to people 220 times, and each conversation lasted as long as 4 hours and 20 minutes; A total of 65 foreign guests were received, and the duration of each meeting was about 1 hour; He also participated in 32 ...... conferencesIt can be seen from Gao Zhenpu's statistics that he is doing his best to work for the party, and has always maintained his love and professionalism for work.
1.* and others are very concerned about the condition of the prime minister, and any problems related to ** and the condition, the medical staff must report to the chairman.
In order to solve the heart disease problem, the Zhongnanhai outpatient department submitted a report to the clinic and suggested that the leaders consider giving the company proper rest, increasing sleep, and reducing working hours.
** Conveyed the chairman's instructions to the Prime Minister. 2.*The marshal has been paying attention to Prime Minister's illness during his illness and has wanted to visit him many times, but he is worried that it will affect ***.
In the past three years, ** only visited *** once in the ward, who knew that it was the farewell of the two. 3.From January 13 to 17, 1975, the first session of the Fourth National People's Congress was held in Beijing, and Marshal ** presided over the opening ceremony.
The prime minister attended and made a report while sick, put forward the grand goal of realizing the four modernizations, and determined the leadership candidates with the core of the first and the first.
This is the last time *** and ** will see each other, and it will be goodbye forever.
At the solemn first session of the Fourth National People's Congress, the 89-year-old ** was re-elected as chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. He said: "We must assiduously study Marxism-Leninism, work diligently, and accomplish the glorious and arduous tasks entrusted to us by the party and the people. ”
With the continuous improvement of China's status in the international political arena, the work of the first class is also busier. At this time, **the condition worsened, and ** deeply felt that only by taking on more work could I reduce the burden on my friends.
As a result, he undertook a large number of foreign affairs activities and frequently met with heads of state and heads of other countries. In just one and a half years, ** attended more than 40 ceremonies for the acceptance of credentials.
However, just as ** was about to go to Beidaihe to recuperate, he received a notice that *** wanted to meet him. It turned out that although ** was admitted to the hospital, as long as his physical condition allowed, he would insist on doing the "Baduanjin" exercise that he had insisted on for many years.
**The body has recovered, and he took the initiative to invite** to visit. He said to the guard Gao Zhenpu: "How is Mr. Zhu's health? Does he have time now? Some time ago he wanted to come and see me, but I wasn't in good health and didn't invite him to come.
I'm in good health today, so I'm going to see if the boss has time. Gao Zhenpu was about to ask, but added: "If Mr. Zhu can come, we can talk for half an hour, he can leave at half past five, and he can go home for dinner at six o'clock."
Mr. Zhu must eat on time, he has diabetes and is old, so it can't affect the time of his meal. If you don't have time, just take a trip before going to Beidaihe. ”
A few days ago, because of my poor health, I was not invited** to visit, and **also considering that *** was ongoing**, I did not visit. This time, ** took the initiative to invite, which fully reflected his concern and respect for **.
When *** learned that ** was going to Beidaihe to recuperate and it would take more than two months to come back, he was worried that his physical condition might not be as good as **, so he invited ** to meet before going to Beidaihe.
Gao Zhenpu reported the matter to Deng Yingchao, and Deng Yingchao instructed Gao Zhenpu to go directly to Kang Keqing. Kang Keqing told Gao Zhenpu that ** was in good physical condition and had nothing else to do today, and he had been waiting for a meeting with *** before going to Beidaihe.
Gao Zhenpu reported the situation to *** and conveyed Kang Keqing's greetings. **Walking around the room, thinking for a while, he said, "I'm going to change my clothes and go to the living room to see **, I can't let him see me in a hospital gown." ”
At 5:50, ** came to the *** ward, ** got up and welcomed with a smile, and the two stretched out their hands at the same time and clasped them tightly. Ask in a trembling voice, "How are you?" ”
** smiled and replied: "It's okay, it's okay, let's sit down and talk." *He was 89 years old at the time, and his movements were a little slow, and when the guard came over and helped him sit on the sofa, he asked with concern, "Do you need to change to a taller chair?" ”
* shook his head and said, "This one will do." ”
*and *** had a short meeting in the living room, and the conversation ended at 6:15 in order not to delay **'s mealtime. The meeting lasted just over 20 minutes, but it was the last conversation between the two men.
**Affectionately watched**'s car leave, until the guard helped ** to get into the car. Surprisingly, their last meeting was so brief.
At the last moment of his life, the most important conversation he had with Deng Yingchao was how to deal with what happened after his death. As early as 1956, ** made the decision to implement cremation, ** discussed with Deng Yingchao and promised each other that the ashes would be scattered in the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and sprinkled into the water and soil.
On January 8, 1976, Comrade ***, the good premier of the people, who fought for the people's liberation cause for more than 60 years, left us forever. After Comrade ** died of illness, out of consideration for Comrade **'s physical condition, the organization did not immediately inform him of the news.
In the afternoon of the same day, Comrade ** also received foreign guests and accepted the credentials of the new Belgian Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to China. It wasn't until 8 p.m. that Comrade ** heard Comrade ***'s obituary on the radio, and finally accepted this cruel fact.
Although Comrade ** had learned of the deterioration of Comrade ***'s condition, he still could not believe that he would never see this good prime minister who had served the people all his life.
There was constant mourning on the radio, and the family was in tears, all of which made ** unbelievable. Tears slid down his weathered face and dripped down the placket of his clothes, and he sat silently on the couch.
The staff told him: "The Prime Minister's last words are to scatter his ashes in the land and rivers of the motherland. Hearing this, ** said: "The prime minister has done his best for the country and the people, and after his death, he is a real and thorough proletarian revolutionary." ”
As he spoke, he wept and asked everyone: "Do you know the revolutionary history of the prime minister?" Everyone nodded, indicating that they had seen some memories of others. ** Emphasized: "You should go deep into the revolutionary history of the Prime Minister!" ”
After speaking, he began to tell the life of the *** revolution. Although his family feared that he was too sad, he was still immersed in deep memories and kept asking himself: "Do you know the revolutionary history of the prime minister?" ”
On January 10, 1976, party and state leaders, people from all walks of life in the capital, and medical staff and staff attended the farewell ceremony in Beijing Hospital.
In the morning, the medical staff of the medical team took the lead in bidding farewell to the Prime Minister. Subsequently, relatives and friends before his death, including the Great Hall of the People and the Beijing Hotel, also came to mourn.
In the afternoon, the leading comrades came to say goodbye in turn, and the four ministers on both sides of the body were guarded. The members of the Politburo wore black veils, and the old man was old and frail, holding a cane, standing in front of the funeral bed and crying bitterly, calling in a low voice: "Enlai!
Enlai! "The last military salute at the farewell ceremony of the remains of *** not only expressed their more than 50 years of combat friendship, but also reflected his deep respect. Then, he held Deng Yingchao's hand tightly and expressed his feelings in silent words.
*Follow behind**, and also feel the same way. But, **reminder**: comrade, please take off your hat, this is basic etiquette. * Instead of taking off his hat, he said, "I have a cold." ”
* Some of them were unhappy and said, "Don't come if you have a cold!" "In the car, ** kept shedding tears and was going to take off his hat. When he returned, he was so grief-stricken that he didn't think about tea and dinner.
January 15th was the memorial service of ***, and the secretary saw that ** was weak and worried that he would not be able to support it, so he asked for his opinion: "Boss, do you want to attend the prime minister's memorial service?" ”
Alas, I can't go, how can I be worthy of grace? Suddenly, he thought of a way to immediately ask the staff to turn on the TV and say that he would attend the memorial service even if he was at home.
After the memorial service, Deng Yingchao personally opened the urn of ***, and packed the ashes into four document bags with trembling hands, ready to be scattered on the plane. The ashes were scattered in four places: over Beijing, the Miyun Reservoir, the Haihe River and the estuary of the Yellow River.
With the support of ***, Deng Yingchao successfully fulfilled ***'s last wish. On July 6, 1976, ** also passed away. Although these two founding fathers have passed away, their revolutionary friendship will live on in the annals of history for generations to come.
