There is a saying in China, "Sichuan people are not afraid of spicy, Jiangxi people are not afraid of spicy, Hunan people are not afraid of spicy", this sentence vividly illustrates the level of Hunan people eating spicy, China's people's leader is an authentic Hunan people, Xiang Yan (yá) Zi, will eat chili peppers from the time they eat. The eating habit of eating chili peppers has been retained until the later years, and the physical condition does not allow it, so he gradually quit chili peppers, but in the arduous years of the Anti-Japanese War, chili peppers can definitely be called the "spiritual companion" of ***. 
The big brother of the Soviet Union has always been very important to China, and no matter what changes have taken place in the relations between the two countries in the end, the Soviet Union's help to our country is still very commendable, and the Chinese people have always been grateful for the helping hand that the Soviet Union extended to us in the difficult years. In the early days of the revolution, the Soviet Union often sent experts to help the Chinese revolution. On January 26, 1949, Mikoyan, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, set off from Moscow and flew to China by plane. 
After Mikoyan got off the plane, he found that he did not have the flowers and crowd welcome that he expected, and he was inevitably a little disappointed, but considering the confidentiality of this meeting, Mikoyan chose to understand. After walking out of the airport, Mikoyan didn't have time to rest, so he took a car all the way to Xibaipo, at first it was a wide and flat road, then it became a rugged and bumpy mountain road, dirt road, and then it simply became a sheep intestine road in the countryside, the car bumped all the way, but Mikoyan was still very interested, all the way through the car window to observe the customs outside. At the same time, Mikoyan was also full of expectations for seeing ***, he felt that it was a very sacred meeting, although it could not be made public to the world, but Mikoyan was still excited. 
On January 31, Mikoyan finally successfully arrived at Xibaipo, just got off the car, and saw a burly and tall figure standing in front of the crowd to greet their arrival, this person is *** Mikoyan got off the car, ** walked over with a kind and enthusiastic smile, and then stretched out a hand to Mikoyan, Mikoyan immediately held the hand tightly, he looked up and down at the great Chinese people's leader, looking so simple and thrifty. The leader of the Chinese Communist Party, who commanded millions of troops, wore a faded cotton coat, which was clean and tidy, but because it had been washed too many times, the cotton was knotted and became a bulging lump, which looked very bloated, no different from the Chinese peasants Mikoyan had seen on the road before. 
On the other hand, Mikoyan, with a straight and slim suit, is draped in a fur coat and wears a cylindrical leather hat, which is full of majesty. This is the real leader of the people who represents the "workers and peasants," Mikoyan sighed to himself. After a short greeting, Mikoyan was welcomed into the house, the furnishings in the house were simple and dilapidated, and compared with ordinary houses, there was only one more desk and a few chairs, Mikoyan couldn't believe it, **and other leaders made so many major decisions that shocked China and foreign countries here. 
During the conversation, he deeply analyzed the current situation in China, and he made an analogy and skillfully described the current situation in China to Mikoyan, **: "Our country, if we compare it to a family, its house is too dirty, there are firewood, grass, garbage, dust, fleas, bed bugs, lice and everything. After liberation, we must carefully clean our house, from the inside to the outside, from all corners to the cracks between doors and windows, and clean all those dirty things and tidy them up. Wait for the house to be clean, clean, orderly, and furnished, and then invite guests in. Our real friends can come in early and help us with the clean-up, but the other guests have to wait and can't let them in just yet...It's also a kind of politeness, isn't it?!After listening to these words, Mikoyan immediately understood the current situation in China and the problems encountered, and affirmed his views. 
After the conversation between Mikoyan and ***, ** specially set up a banquet to entertain Mikoyan, because the conditions in Xibaipo were relatively poor at that time, coupled with the fact that *** has always been diligent and thrifty, so he did not put on a big banquet, but just made a table of home-cooked wine and dishes, including braised pork, stewed stupid chicken and a few fried vegetables, as well as Shanxi Fen (fén) wine. Originally, when Mikoyan saw all the five secretaries as accompaniment, he was still very proud in his heart, but as soon as the dishes came up, Mikoyan was dumbfounded, are these home-cooked dishes a banquet for himself?When Chiang Kai-shek set up a banquet that year, he ate a full banquet of the Manchu and Han Dynasty and drank high-end foreign wine, and the banquet of ** suddenly seemed "shabby". Mikoyan didn't expect that even the chief of ** couldn't eat these home-cooked dishes on the table on weekdays, and he was reluctant to eat them, because Mikoyan came and set up such a table. 
The braised pork is ***'s favorite, with good taste and good nutrition, and the pigs that make braised pork are not raised by feed, but domestic pigs. The stewed stupid chicken was raised by Xibaipo himself, and he looked for insects to eat all day long, and the meat was very delicious. As for Fenjiu, it is also a specialty of Shanxi, authentic pure grain brewing, fragrant for ten miles, no worse than the Soviet Union's "vodka". This table of dishes, in the CCP that year, can be regarded as the standard of the "state banquet", and then Mikoyan brought his own gifts, including all kinds of canned fruits, canned sardines, and valuable canned caviar, vodka, whiskey and other foreign liquors are indispensable. These dazzling "foreign gadgets" are far inferior to a few chili peppers in the eyes of ***, but *** still expressed his sincere gratitude to Mikoyan. 
Mikoyan was informal, very enthusiastic and hearty, and after everyone sat down, Mikoyan was not very interested in the dishes on the table, but the bottles of Shanxi Fenjiu caught his attention. Mikoyan loves to drink and can drink, but the amount of alcohol is not very good, Mikoyan held his glass and constantly toasted to ***, during which he wanted to help *** stop drinking several times, but he was rejected by ***. Compared with Mikoyan, the "drunkard", ** can be regarded as not liking to drink, and rarely drinking, after drinking Mikoyan's toast, he will soon be drunk by him, and if he doesn't drink, he refutes Mikoyan's face, so what is the most appropriate thing to do?**Looking at the red pepper on the table, I had an idea. 
After three rounds of wine, ** said to Mikoyan: "Mr. Mikoyan, we Chinese pay attention to eating fragrant and drinking spicy, this braised pork, is fragrant, spicy refers to chili wine, we Hunan people drink, pay attention to a mouthful of wine and a mouthful of chili, so that it looks manly, today we also come to chili to drink, who can't admit defeat, what do you think?* After speaking, everyone in the audience forced a smile, and the translator Zhe smiled as he translated for Mikoyan. Eat fragrant and drink spicy, drink spicy** is chili pepper wine, this spicy refers to liquor, ** to say, is to deliberately "distort" the original meaning. Unexpectedly, Mikoyan really believed it, and when he heard *** say "manly", Mikoyan thought to himself, he must not lose in this regard, anyway, *** has a small amount of alcohol, and he is not afraid of him at all!
FigThe *** hospitality Mikoyan scene restored in the film and television works saw that Mikoyan agreed, **immediately drank a glass of wine, picked up a Chaotian pepper, and ate it without changing his face, Mikoyan looked at *** with a relaxed face, and felt that it should not be difficult to eat chili peppers, so he also learned to make a glass of wine and picked up a Chaotian pepper. Unexpectedly, as soon as the entrance of this chili pepper was broken, it was so spicy that the mouth was burning, and Mikoyan instinctively wanted to spit out the chili pepper, but as soon as he saw that *** had already started drinking the second glass of wine, he forcibly swallowed the chili pepper. Hunan people say that this Chaotian pepper is spicy when they eat it, and outsiders are "not blessed" at all, let alone the Soviets who don't eat spicy pepper very much. Mikoyan's face turned red instantly, but *** had already started to eat the second chili, and he was still enjoying it, which was delicious.
Mikoyan was naturally not to be outdone, and ate the second pepper again, this time Mikoyan was so spicy that he coughed dryly, seeing that Mikoyan immediately couldn't hold on, ** raised the third glass of wine, Mikoyan saw this and quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no, Comrade Chairman, your rule is not fair!."*smiled back and asked, "*Unfair?."You and I are a glass of wine and a chili. Mikoyan said confidently: "I'm not used to eating your peppers, but you are used to eating them, and that's not fair." After listening, he nodded, pondered for a while, and said: "Drinking is my shortcoming, eating chili peppers is your shortcoming, so let's do it, I eat a chili, you drink a glass of wine, how about this?".After hearing this, Mikoyan immediately replied happily: "It's so decided, and you can't go back!."* replied confidently: "Once the word is spoken, the horse is hard to chase!".”
Mikoyan shouted to change himself to a big cup, drink with a glass, one sip is a cup, one cup after another, he wants to use "speed" to defeat *** on the other hand, although the *** on the side is not fast, but orderly, easy, he put all the chili handles he has eaten on the table, convenient to wait for the accounting number, the ** and *** on the side are also very confident, in the field of eating chili peppers, they believe that *** is completely fine. As time passed, Mikoyan gradually got a little better, and the speed of drinking gradually slowed down, but he still ate the pepper methodically, not slowly. This night, Mikoyan was so drunk that he ate 35 Chaotian peppers without changing his color, and "drunk" Mikoyan with chili peppers. Later, ** set up a banquet to entertain Mikoyan, this time Mikoyan didn't dare to be as arrogant as last time, but savored the mellow fragrance of Hengshui Lao Baigan, and said to *** "Lao Baigan is better than vodka, not on the top".
After being a guest in Xibaipo for a few days, Mikoyan was ready to leave China and return to the Soviet Union, and ** set up a send-off banquet, and he was still accompanied by the five secretaries. In order to see off Mikoyan, ** specially instructed the kitchen to catch a fish from the Hutuo River and make a braised fish for Mikoyan, so that Comrade Mikoyan could taste our Chinese fish, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the send-off banquet, the chef prepared the fish a day in advance, cleaned it and stored it properly. The chef specially made the best braised fish for Mikoyan to taste, and after everyone sat down, the fish was brought up, Mikoyan stretched his neck and looked back and forth for a while, and asked *** Is this fish dead or alive?I don't eat dead fish. ”
**After hearing this, he quickly explained: "Comrade Mikoyan, this fish was caught in the river, and of course it is alive when it is caught, and it will naturally die when it is cooked." Unexpectedly, Mikoyan continued: "We in the USSR do not eat dead fish, dead fish is not fresh. Seeing that Mikoyan was deliberately making things difficult, the *** on the side also helped: "It's winter, the fish won't spoil, it's very fresh." Although everyone was persuading Mikoyan, Mikoyan still insisted that he would not eat dead fish, and when everyone was helpless, ** suddenly opened his mouth and said: "He doesn't eat it, I'll eat it when I bring it down." The translator on the side was stunned for a moment when he heard this sentence and did not translate, and Mikoyan didn't pay attention to ***'s expression at that time, and the matter passed for the time being. Mikoyan's behavior this time was obviously deliberately difficult, although he didn't say anything at the time, but he silently remembered it in his heart.
Although the Soviet Union provided a lot of help to China, there were also many people in the Soviet Union who looked down on China from the bottom of their hearts, and they felt that the Communist Party of China was all "dirt buns", and this little "dead fish" was not only a deliberate attempt by Mikoyan himself, but also a manifestation of the Soviet Union's inherent impression of China. The "a dead fish" incident has always been remembered in my heart, the Communist Party of China represents not just an individual, but a country, and the face of the individual does not matter, but the face of the country must not be humiliated by outsiders. In December 1949, he led a Chinese delegation to visit the Soviet Union, which was the first time he visited abroad, and the purpose of this trip was to congratulate Stalin on his birthday and to sign the Sino-Soviet Friendship Treaty. At that time, although the new China had been founded, the whole country was in ruins, and many years of war and chaos had brought serious blows and damage to China, especially in the field of scientific and technological research, and it was in great need of the help of the Soviet Union.
On December 16th, ** and his entourage arrived in Moscow smoothly, and were warmly welcomed by the Soviet Union, on the afternoon of the day they arrived in Moscow, Stalin couldn't wait to meet the Chinese leader in the Kremlin *** In the world pattern at that time, this meeting between Stalin and *** was highly anticipated, New China had just been established, and the Soviet Union was one of the world's leading powers, and the first meeting between the two was concerned by the world. After the meeting, Stalin held the hand tightly and congratulated: "You have achieved a great victory, you have made great contributions to the Chinese people, you are a good son of the Chinese people." * He also sincerely expressed his gratitude: "On behalf of the Chinese people, I sincerely thank the Soviet people for their help and support, and the Chinese people will not forget their friends." ”
Worried that they would not be accustomed to eating Soviet food, the delegation took the cook from China to the Soviet Union, and specifically told the cook: "If the Soviets send dead fish, throw them back, saying that I only eat live fish." "A trick to return the body of others in the way of others is just right, in China's face, we will not give up!After coming to the Soviet Union, the Soviet Special Guard really sent a basket of dead fish to ***, the weather in Moscow was very cold at that time, and the fish meat was still very fresh, which did not affect the consumption, under normal circumstances, dead fish like this *** would not care at all. The chef looked at the dead fish in the basket and remembered the previous advice, so he hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand at the person who delivered the fish. The Soviet Special Guard found a translator for this, and later learned that it turned out that *** had specially ordered: "As long as the fish are alive, no dead fish will be collected." ”
When a colonel of the Soviet Guard found out, he immediately sent someone to take the basket of fish, and then brought another basket of live fish, which the cook took after confirming that they were all alive. Later, this matter spread in the Soviet Union, and many people in the Kremlin knew that *** only eat live fish", Khrushchev also specially told the kitchen that hospitality *** must send live fish. The Soviet side thinks that *** is a very "picky" person, and they don't know how Mikoyan made things difficult when he made a secret visit to ChinaIf it weren't for Michael who pioneered, how could he deliberately "don't want dead fish, just live fish"?This small "dead fish" shows the backbone of China, and China is no longer the cowardly country that everyone rubbed in the late Qing Dynasty.
On December 21, ** attended the celebration of Stalin's 70th birthday, and the Soviet side attached great importance to the arrival of the Chinese delegation, and specially arranged *** to the seat next to Stalin, and was the first of many foreign leaders to speak on the spot. ** Delivered an impassioned and enthusiastic birthday speech, which won bursts of applause from everyone present, and perfectly demonstrated the self-confidence, generosity, and calm spirit of the new Chinese people. After the birthday celebration, Stalin and *** launched a formal meeting, in this dialogue *** raised the issue of the old Testament between China and the Soviet Union, Stalin still insisted on his "old excuse", believing that once the old Treaty between China and the Soviet Union was changed, the United States and Britain had an excuse, and it was very likely to shake the legitimacy of the Kuril Islands and South Sakhalin obtained by the Soviet Union from Japan.
In order to obtain the Soviet side's agreement to conclude a new treaty, the delegations of the two sides were deadlocked for more than half a month, and at this time, the consistent "conspiracy theory" of the West was once again born, and the British news agency wantonly spread rumors that *** was placed under house arrest by Stalin. In order to break the rumors, ** personally came forward to answer the reporter's questions, making it clear that the purpose of his visit to the Soviet Union was to solve the Sino-Soviet treaty issue, and the rumors were finally broken, but this farce made Stalin also see clearly who was the real friend in the world situation at that time. On January 20, 1950, the Chinese delegation again arrived in Moscow and signed the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance with the Soviet Union. On February 14, Stalin and *** attended the signing ceremony together, and a celebration was held that evening. ** Stalin attended the banquet, the leaders of both China and the Soviet Union were very happy and excited, in a warm atmosphere, Stalin raised his glass and congratulated: "* Comrade, congratulations on the complete success of your visit to the Soviet Union!”
The Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance, and Mutual Assistance had a tremendous impact on both China and the Soviet Union, and it was a major diplomatic achievement since the founding of New China, and it played an extremely important role in promoting Sino-Soviet friendly relations and resuming the economic construction of New China. ** There were two visits to the Soviet Union, both of which always adhered to the principle of independent diplomacy, and during the first visit to the Soviet Union, there were many inevitable frictions between the two sides, but on the second visit to the Soviet Union, the overall situation was much better. In November 1957, he visited Moscow for the second time, this time by plane, to attend the Congress of the World Communist and Workers' Parties, the Moscow Conference.
The reason for this meeting was that at the 12th Congress of the CPSU, a secret report condemning Stalin was issued, which was later leaked and caused an uproar in the world socialist camp. This time, the Soviet Union's hospitality specifications were much higher as a whole, not only sent the best planes and the best pilots in the Soviet Union to pick up ***, but also arranged to live in the Kremlin, and the furnishings and supplies were all arranged in accordance with ***'s habits. This proves that China's international status has been improved at that time. This time, the itinerary was very intense, not only to intensively exchange views with the Soviet delegation and obtain a draft that was satisfactory to both sides, but also to frequently exchange views with all the parties in Europe, including the communist parties of Italy, Britain, and France, as well as the communist parties of India, Indonesia, Japan, and other Asian countries, to seek common ground while reserving differences.
In view of the fact that both China and the Soviet Union were countries that had succeeded in revolutionary practice, it was often necessary to impart successful experiences to the rest of the countries, but it was necessary to make specific analyses of the different situations in different countries, which led to the complication of the work. The second visit to the Soviet Union not only further promoted Sino-Soviet friendly relations, but also made great contributions to promoting the unity of international communist internationalism and the unity of the socialist camp. The Soviet Union, as the "big brother" of the socialist camp, provided us with a lot of help, and although China was a "rising star," the Soviet Union was still equal in terms of international status. We are grateful for the assistance provided by the Soviet Union, but this does not mean that the Soviet Union can point fingers at us and find fault with us, and will not back down on issues related to the equality and independence of countries.
The reason why a great man is great is that he has a warm heart that puts the interests of the country and the dignity of the people first, and the great people's leader *** always puts the country and the people in the highest position, leading the Chinese people to stand up step by step, leading China from the abyss to a bright future!
