One day in May 1955, Beijing Xiaotangshan Sanatorium welcomed a special guest, who was Qi Jishu. Zigishu was sent here for high blood pressure by the tissue**.
One day, the director of the hospital personally called ** and said to him: "* The General Office has sent a letter from the chairman, please come to the hospital department to pick it up immediately." ”
When the patient heard this, he was so excited that he immediately rushed to the dean's office. After seeing this special patient, Dean Zhang excitedly said to him: "Lao Qi, you are really not simple, and the chairman even wrote a letter to you personally, explaining that your relationship with the chairman is not ordinary." ”
As he spoke, he handed him a brown paper envelope, only to see the words "Received by Comrade Qi Jishu" written on the envelope. When he saw the envelope, he only felt boiling all over, and at the same time, the tears in his eyes had already begun to roll.
He hurriedly opened the envelope, which contained a handwritten letter from the chairman to him: "Comrade Qi Jishu: I am very happy to receive the letter on December 26, and I am very happy that my hypertension can be cured slowly, so don't be in a hurry.
The medicine has been entrusted to someone to find it, and if it can be found, it will be given to you. If there is no such medicine, you can use other medicines, ** send, and wish you good health. On January 4, 1956, there were also four ** letters: one was a single photo of the chairman, one was a group photo of the chairman and **, one was a group photo of the chairman and Li Min, and one was a family photo.
Looking at the chairman's letter and **, the patient Lao Qi was full of thoughts, and the scene when he was by the chairman's side also appeared in front of him one by one......”
Zijishu, an ordinary guard, was fortunate enough to be the chairman's guard due to the organization's draw, which turned his life upside down. The first time he met the chairman, he still remembers it vividly.
It was an ordinary cave, with a desk by the window, a hard-circled chair, two hardwood sofas against the wall, and a small table and two wooden stools next to it.
As the chairman was reviewing the documents at his desk, his secretary, Ye Zilong, introduced the new orderly Qi Jishu to the chairman. The chairman put down the pen in his hand, stood up and walked over to Zijishu, held his hand tightly and said, "Okay, welcome, welcome." ”
Qi Jishu held the hand of ***, only to feel a warm current surging into his heart, and felt that the chairman who had been thinking about it for a long time was so amiable. With excitement and restraint, he said shyly, "Hello." ”
Seeing that Qi Jishu was very reserved, the chairman greeted him warmly: Come, sit down. And kindly asked Qi Jishu with a thick Hunan accent: "Are you a ** person?" ”
Qi Jishu replied, "I am from Yuanshi County, Hebei Province. The chairman asked, "How old are you this year?" Qi Jishu replied, "Eighteen." The chairman asked with concern: "Have you joined the party?" ”
Qi Jishu replied: "I joined the party in September 1939. The chairman humorously said, "You are an old party member." Qi Jishu replied embarrassedly, "Not old." ”
The chairman then asked, "Would you like to come and work with me?" "I'm very willing, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to do it well. Zijishu couldn't wait to show his heart.
It doesn't matter, there are old comrades. My work here is very simple, if you don't understand, just ask the old comrades and ask He Qinghua. The chairman said, pointing to He Qinghua who was standing next to him.
Qi Jishu was afraid of affecting the normal work of the chairman, so he left the chairman's office with He Qinghua after a while. Since then, he has been working beside the chairman, whether it is in Zaoyuan or visiting Nanniwan; Whether it is going to a meeting in the ** auditorium or visiting the masses, he follows the chairman's left and right.
Especially after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the chairman went to Chongqing to negotiate, and he also went to Chongqing. It was not until 1946 that Qi Jishu left the presidency and went to Shanxi to participate in land reform.
During the Yan'an period, Qi Jishu had the privilege of spending several years with the chairman, and he was deeply moved by the chairman's hard work and simplicity and noble qualities of caring for others. In the summer of 1944, Yan'an and other anti-Japanese base areas had passed the most difficult period, but supplies were still relatively scarce, especially in the buttons on clothes, even ordinary horn buttons were rare.
Therefore, most of the buttons used by people are made of cloth wrapped in copper coins. At that time, Wang Zhen, director of the radio station, came to Zaoyuan to visit the chairman and presented the horn buttons made by everyone to the chairman as a "July 1st" gift.
Director Wang said to the chairman: "July 1 is coming, I came to see the chairman in advance, and at the same time brought a gift to the chairman. As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag, put it on his desk, pointed to the cloth bag, and said: "This is the buttons that our comrades in the radio station have made from cow horns, and now I will send some to the chairman to show that we can also produce such buttons." ”
As he spoke, he opened the cloth bag, took out a few buttons, handed them to the chairman, and said: "In a few days, it will be 'July 1,' and these horn buttons can be regarded as a little bit of our radio comrades' intention to celebrate the party's birthday."
All the comrades in Taiwan specially asked me to send it here as a gift to the chairman. ”
The soldiers of Yan'an knitted delicate horn buttons, and the chairman took the buttons and carefully examined them, and said with appreciation that this was a good creation, and Yan'an would no longer have to worry about the problem of buttons in the future.
The chairman stood up happily, put the buttons in his hand back into the cloth bag, and then placed the buttoned cloth bag on the bookshelf. At that time, there was only one internal staff member around the chairman, Qi Jishu, who was responsible for the work of three people.
One day, while the chairman was resting in his room, Zijishu moved the spinning wheel to the base of the wall outside the chairman's room and concentrated on spinning wool threads. When the chairman went out for a walk, he saw Zijishu spinning the thread intently, so he walked over and asked him what his production task was this year.
Qi Jishu replied that the task of the year was to kill two stones and eight buckets of fine grain. The chairman was a little skeptical about Zijishu's assurance, but he still asked Zijishu with concern when the two of them would return.
Zijishu replied that he didn't know, and the organization didn't say it.
In a handwritten book, "Do It Yourself, Have Plenty of Food and Clothing", the chairman reminded Qi Jishu: "You have to work and produce alone, and the two of them don't know when they will come back."
I think it's going to be very difficult for you to accomplish this year. After a moment of contemplation, the chairman decided to personally help them. He walked to the bookshelf, took out a pack of horn buttons given to him by Director Wang, and gave it to Qi Jishu and the other two, saying, "This is a gift from Director Wang, I hope it can help you complete this year's production tasks."
We are all comrades, and I will do my best to help you. Zijishu gratefully took the clasp and said that he would complete the task no matter what. The chairman also stressed the need not to sell the buttons to private individuals, but to give them to the production cooperatives to see how much money they could be converted, and then use them to carry out a part of the production tasks and reduce their burdens.
Qi Jishu was deeply moved and accepted the chairman's kindness.
More than a month has passed since the group photo of Yan'an, and the two guards Sun Zhenfa and Zhang Liang have successfully completed their tasks and returned to Zaoyuan. Zijishu told them about the string of horns that the chairman had given him.
The three of them decided not to return the clasp to the chairman for the time being. They divided the work, with Sun Zhenfa and Zhang Liang spinning the thread and Qi Jishu continuing to work and striving to complete or exceed the task by the end of the year.
After a period of hard work, their technology has been continuously improved, and the yarn spun has been upgraded from the second class to the first class. After several months of hard work, they have completed the production task of eight stones and four buckets, and they have stepped up their efforts to complete the specified production task a year ago.
The day before the New Year, they came to the chairman's office. When the chairman saw them come in, he asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?" The three of them said in unison: "We are here to report to you on the completion of our production tasks and what to do with these horn buttons you have given us." ”
On their behalf, Sun Zhenfa reported to the chairman: "After several months of hard work, the production task of the three of us has been successfully completed, and it is slightly exceeded. ”
The chairman looked very happy and smiled and said, "Very good, you have done a good job, I was worried that you would not be able to complete the task." The three of them summed it up and decided to give some of the buttons to the guard platoon and the *** colleagues, and some to themselves, and also to the chairman, ready to replace the buttons on the chairman's clothes.
The Chair approvingly, "You have been very thoughtful, and it is very good. ”
The soldiers of Yan'an worked hard to produce in addition to the battle, and Qi Jishu and they overfulfilled the task and were rewarded with a blanket per person. In order to show the chairman's care and care for the staff around them, Zijishu sent the buttons to the relevant units and told them that they were given to them by the chairman.
Although many years have passed, the chairman's hard-working, simple, and caring style is still deeply imprinted in Zijishu's mind, and he will never forget. Due to his illness, Zijishu often recalls working beside the chairman and misses him deeply.
I heard that Beijing imported a batch of Indian blood pressure medicine, and he was very much looking forward to the effect of ** hypertension. Therefore, at the end of 1955, he wrote a letter to the chairman, expressing his longing for the chairman and informing him of his illness.
He was recuperating in Xiaotangshan Sanatorium, and although his life was good, he lacked good medicine. Recently, I heard that a batch of ** high blood pressure medicine was imported from India, and I hope the chairman can help him get a little.
In addition, he asked the Chairman for a few ** of him and his family to ease his longing for the Chairman. Soon, to Zijishu's great touch, the chairman quickly replied, expressing his concern for him and granting his request.
The chairman's care and care made Zijishu unforgettable for life.
Qi Ji tree, old and strong, full of vitality in his old age.
