At the farewell ceremony of the body in September 1976, as the chairman's biological daughter, Li Min has been silently accompanying the chairman's body and paying attention to every guest who came to bid farewell to the chairman.
As time passed, her face gradually revealed an anxious look, and every day she looked anxiously forward, as if waiting for an important person who had not yet arrived at the scene.
As the chairman's farewell ceremony drew to a close, Li Min could no longer remain calm.
She picked up **, pressed the familiar number, and contacted an old friend in Shandong. Li Min called the other party "Uncle Zhang" and hoped that he would rush to Beijing as soon as possible to see off her father.
* On the other side, the person known as Uncle Xiao Zhang couldn't help but have an emotional breakdown and cried bitterly. What is the real identity of this Uncle Zhang?What kind of story does he have with ***?
The grace of knowing the encounter, the deep feelings. On September 9, 1976, **'s heart stopped beating forever. On that day, the whole nation mourned together, all the people wept bitterly, and everyone deeply mourned our greatest national leader with the heaviest heart.
When the news of the chairman's death came out on the radio, Zhang Xianpeng, a cadre of the Qingdao Public Security Bureau in Shandong, couldn't help but close his eyes in disbelief. He regarded the President as a role model and admired him as much as a relative.
On that sad day, he was alone in his room, clinging to the radio, letting the words of pain echo in his ears over and over again, crying loudly, like a child who had lost his support.
His family knew the chairman's place in his heart, so they didn't bother him, but left him a space to face and digest this great grief alone.
Zhang Xianpeng still clearly remembers that he had agreed with the chairman that he would take his family to visit him next time, but this agreement could not be realized because of the death of the chairman.
He was determined to say goodbye to *** in person, but his wife sensibly suggested that he should calm down, because ***'s death was a national event, and he should obey ***'s dispatch.
As a cadre of the Qingdao Public Security Bureau, his identity and status are relatively special, and if he is not summoned by ***, he cannot leave his post or go to Beijing without authorization. Although he is very longing and painful, he must first stabilize his emotions and not cause trouble to the people he respects and loves.
Zhang Xianpeng is well aware of the benefits of rational choice, but he still deeply regrets his fate. He would rather not be transferred to be a cadre, and is willing to always be by ***'s side and be that unknown little guard.
He is deeply grateful for all that *** has given him, including his turning point and the brightness of the future. Although he is over 40 years old, he still clearly remembers the first time he saw *** when he was 15 years old, it was in 1949, he worked in the Shenyang Cultural Hotel, and received a notice from his superiors to receive an important national cadre.
Zhang Xianpeng did the tidying and cleaning work rigorously and conscientiously, so that the room was spotless. He was ready to go, waiting with respect for the arrival of the leader. When he saw the leader get out of the car, he was surprised to find that the leader who came to the cultural center in person turned out to be a highly respected ***
He couldn't believe his good fortune and was able to see *** in person at the workplace Although he was a little nervous, he showed the attentiveness and energy that a young man should have when receiving the chairman, chatting with the chairman easily, handing him hot tea, and always ready to provide him with pens.
He has a unique eye, exquisite skills, methodical work, and intelligence, and has been favored by ***. Always willing to give young people opportunities and willing to pass on their knowledge and experience.
After the visit, before returning to Zhongnanhai in Beijing, ** came to the Shenyang Cultural Center again. He asked Zhang Xianpeng: "Xiao Zhang, I appreciate your work ability, I don't know if you are willing to work in Zhongnanhai?"
It's a bit hard, but you'll get more opportunities to grow. In the face of the chairman's sincere praise, Zhang Xianpeng was flattered and gladly accepted the chairman's invitation. In 1950, he officially received an order from Comrade Wang Dongxing to leave for Beijing.
Zhang Xianpeng's journey from Shenyang to Beijing was complicated and full of thoughts. The teenager who was once a fledgling never expected that he would have the opportunity to work by the side of ***.
After the founding of New China, ** has become the faith in the hearts of almost every Chinese, and he is hailed as a true hero, a spiritual pillar and source of strength for everyone, and an object of admiration.
People who have role models have endless motivation to move forward, and if they have the opportunity to work next to them, the progress will be more obvious. For Zhang Xianpeng, this precious opportunity completely changed his fate.
Upon arrival in Beijing, he was placed at a assembly point for guards.
Wang Dongxing, the chief of the guard, told *** that in order to ensure his personal safety, he needs to undergo a period of professional training. Although his heart is full of nervousness and anticipation, he believes that he will be able to show his true strength in the training.
At the same time, his gratitude to *** is beyond words. After a period of training, Zhang Xianpeng finally stood in front of ***. He originally thought that he was just an insignificant little person, but he didn't expect that a national leader like the chairman, who is in a hurry, would remember him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two met, the chairman asked: "Xiao Zhang, we met last year, and this year I fulfilled my promise and transferred you to my side." Working here can be harder than before, and the time to eat and sleep is not fixed.
Can you handle it? Hearing this, he felt extremely satisfied, how could he not bear it? But in fact, he oversimplified things.
After really putting himself into the work, he realized that taking care of the chairman was not an easy task. The chairman's habits were different from those of ordinary people, and his brain was more active at night, so since the wartime, he has been accustomed to dealing with heavy work at night, sometimes even until the next morning.
**The work and rest time is diametrically opposed to ordinary people, which is breathtaking. At first, Zhang Xianpeng made a joke without knowing the specific situation. One morning at about 9 o'clock, he walked into ***'s bedroom with a dun cloth and wanted to help clean up before the chairman went to the office.
But when he went in, he found *** lying in bed and asleep, and it turned out that only an hour or two had passed since the chairman finished the day's work. He could only withdraw in frustration, and for the next few days he trembled, fearing that he would displease the chairman.
After learning about his mistakes, he did not blame him, but patiently explained to him and encouraged him not to be afraid of his mistakes. After the encouragement of the chairman, Zhang Xianpeng's mood was relieved and he returned to work.
However, due to the long period of day and night reversal, he began to have problems with his body. The impact of staying up late on health is unavoidable, and Zhang Xianpeng is no exception, he suffered from a severe cold, his body's immunity continued to decline, and there were problems in all parts.
He felt guilty because his physical condition was affecting his work progress. He had planned to apologize to the Chairman in person and ask for forgiveness, but he did not expect the Chairman to apologize to him first.
** Feeling that they have neglected the health and well-being of other staff members, causing them to have physical problems. He stressed that everyone has their own work habits and there is no need to be overly accommodating.
**The care for the people around him is revealed in the details, and the most direct and profound feeling for this is Zhang Xianpeng, as the person around him. More than ten years of experience has benefited him a lot, and he was even more moved by the arrangement he received from the next.
**Always think about the long-term for the people around him, so in 1963, he transferred Zhang Xianpeng to the Public Security Bureau in Qingdao, Shandong.
Like a kind elder, he constantly admonishes himself to let go and create a broader stage for the younger generations. For his kindness, Zhang Xianpeng remembered it in his heart, as long as he was free, he would bring his family to Beijing to visit ***
In 1965, due to work needs, he came to Beijing again and stepped into Zhongnanhai. Before leaving, he promised the chairman that he would come back if he had the chance. However, he didn't expect that this meeting would be the beginning of their farewell.
On September 9, 1976, when the news of **'s death came, Zhang Xianpeng couldn't cry in Qingdao. After many inquiries, he finally rushed to ** after his death and participated in the farewell ceremony of the body.
As his daughter, Li Min has always guarded the center of the mourning hall.
She stared at the doordoor every day, as if expecting someone to arrive, but that person never appeared. Just as the farewell ceremony for the chairman's body was about to end, Li Min couldn't hold back anymore and dialed the ** in Qingdao, Shandong.
She asked anxiously, "Uncle Zhang, have you heard the news of your father's death?" Why haven't you come yet? Will you come? The "Uncle Zhang" in Li Min's mouth is actually Zhang Xianpeng.
In fact, Zhang Xianpeng is only two years older than Li Min, but this title has a special origin. Originally, the one who called him "Uncle Zhang" was actually ***'s youngest daughter Li Ne.
At that time, Li Ne was studying in Beijing, and as the president's guard, he often accompanied this silent and intelligent little girl.
** I hope Li Ne will not reveal his true identity in school, so sometimes he will ask Zhang Xianpeng to attend parent-teacher conferences instead of him. Once, Zhang Xianpeng half-jokingly hoped that Li Min would call him Uncle Zhang like he did to his sister.
Although they are close in age, Li Min is not willing. She turned around and sued Zhang Xianpeng in front of her father. Zhang Xianpeng was a little nervous, afraid that the chairman would blame him for this joke, but he didn't expect the chairman to be on his side.
Since then, Li Min has started calling him Uncle Zhang. Seeing the deep affection between Uncle Zhang and her father, Li Min hoped that in the final stage of the chairman's life, Zhang Xianpeng would come to see him off in person.
She didn't want to leave any regrets, neither for the chairman nor for Zhang Xianpeng. After receiving **, Zhang Xianpeng couldn't help crying, but immediately bought a ticket to Beijing.
He has been waiting for this **, waiting for ***'s order to allow him to leave his post, waiting for Li Min's invitation to give him the opportunity to come to Beijing to bid farewell to the chairman. He nervously and anxiously calculated the time, hurried slowly, and finally arrived at the scene of the funeral ceremony.
Seeing the body of the chairman who was lying down, his long-suppressed tears finally slipped down, and it turned out that the person who was extremely noble in his heart had really passed away. In the eyes of many people, *** is more like a god-like existence, but at this moment, he is just a mortal, like everyone else, to face life and death.
They once thought that the chairman was an immortal being, would not be injured, and would not leave, but they ignored that the chairman also had the limitations of mortals, and could not resist the natural laws of birth, old age, sickness and death.
The chairman's life was full of challenges and hardships, but he left us with eternal memories with his words and deeds. Although the chairman, as the leader of the country, seems far away from us, staff like Zhang Xianpeng can feel the cordiality and personality charm of the chairman.
The chairman is the Big Dipper of the Chinese nation and our eternal memory.
