It's great to get more people to visit and also to give everyone a break ...... hereIn April 1988, Deng Yingchao officially retired at the end of her term as chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, when she was 84 years old.
Although Deng Yingchao has retired, her dedication is still undiminished. She cares about the country's reform and opening up and the people who work hard for the construction of the motherland, and also pays attention to the construction of Huai'an, the hometown of the premier.
When some comrades in Huai'an asked her for help, she said to Fan Ruoyu, the secretary of the prime minister, that although she had not opened a "small stove" for his hometown when she was alive, she hoped that capable people could help them speak and promote the economic development of Huai'an.
On June 14, Tang Yongfeng, member of the Standing Committee of the Huai'an Municipal Party Committee and executive vice mayor of the Communist Party of China, and others came to Beijing to visit Deng Yingchao on behalf of the Huai'an Municipal Party Committee, the city and millions of people in the city.
Deng Yingchao extended a warm welcome to her lover's hometown and met them in the living room behind the West Flower Hall in Zhongnanhai. After meeting, Deng Yingchao said with a smile that Tang Yongfeng's name was very interesting, as high as the mountain, and it was permanent, which made her feel very happy, and the atmosphere became more relaxed and happy.
Deng Yingchao's words easily resolved the tense atmosphere at the scene, and she had a cordial and free conversation with Tang Yongfeng and others. For the guests in her hometown, Deng Yingchao felt like seeing her in-laws' relatives.
She said that when she heard Tang Yongfeng talk about Huai'an's economic construction, she was very happy and believed that it was a newly discovered treasure that should be well developed and utilized.
Tang Yongfeng and others mentioned that Huai'an is preparing to build a memorial hall, Deng Yingchao said that this reflects the deep feelings and eternal memory of the people of Huai'an, and it is also a building that can educate future generations.
However, Deng Yingchao suggested that the design of the memorial hall should be simple and not too magnificent, because this does not conform to the consistent ideology and life style of the memorial. She also hopes that the furnishings in the memorial hall can show the spirit of being a revolutionary and willing to be a servant of the people.
In order to dispel Deng Yingchao's concerns, Tang Yongfeng promised that the Huai'an Memorial Hall would be built as a tourist attraction, Deng Yingchao was very happy after hearing it, thinking that this was completely in line with the style of *** before his death, and presented Tang Yong and his party with 5 *** related books, expressing her wishes.
In fact, Deng Yingchao has always known about the construction of the Huai'an Memorial Hall. Back in 1986, ** had already approved the plan, but for various reasons, the works never started.
It was not until March 5, 1988 that the groundbreaking ceremony of the Huai'an *** Memorial Hall was held. Prior to this, Deng Yingchao received an invitation from the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government, hoping that she could participate in this groundbreaking ceremony.
Deng Yingchao was unable to attend the groundbreaking ceremony in Huai'an, and Major General Gao Zhenpu attended on her behalf. At the ceremony, Gao Zhenpu conveyed Deng Yingchao's greetings and thanks to the people of Huai'an, and explained why Deng Yingchao could not come in person.
Deng Yingchao deeply felt the friendship of the people of Huai'an for her, but due to her advanced age and physical condition, she could not come. Despite this, she still cares deeply about the people of Huai'an and often receives letters and gifts from them.
Gao Zhenpu's speech deeply touched the people of Huai'an, who applauded warmly and expressed their deep respect for the prime minister. **The Prime Minister was born on March 5, 1898 in Huai'an, Jiangsu Province, and his ancestral home is Shaoxing, Zhejiang.
He left his hometown at a very young age and never returned. However, his heart has always been closely connected to Huai'an, and his love for his hometown has deeply touched everyone.
In 1919, ** met his lifelong lover Deng Yingchao after the May Fourth Movement and became a like-minded revolutionary comrade. On August 8, 1925, Deng Yingchao rushed from Tianjin to Guangzhou to marry ***, the two experienced the baptism of revolution together, walked the Long March together, fought devils, established New China, and sought happiness for the people.
As a model of serving the people, the prime minister personally formulated 10 family rules to strictly restrain himself and his family, including the younger generation, who cannot leave his work to visit him, but can only stop by and see; Accommodation for loved ones is always in *** guest house; Tickets for admission as family members to the theater.
In addition, the prime minister also insisted on not seeking personal gain, not to engage in specialization, although these family rules involve some small things in life, but they reflect a clear principle.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chen Xiuyun contacted the work through his cousin ***, hoping to find a job in New China.
Chen Xiuyun is a distant relative of Prime Minister, although she has never met, Prime Minister is very close to her, even better than ordinary relatives. After receiving a letter, Chen Xiuyun entrusted Deng Yingchao, the premier's lover, to reply to the letter, and found the Democratic Women's Federation of the East China Bureau of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai to request the arrangement of work.
However, the comrades of the Women's Federation introduced her to work in the people of Songjiang County without the consent of Premier *** and Deng Yingchao. Chen Xiuyun was dissatisfied with this and thought that she should be treated better.
Soon after, she was transferred to Songjiang County Printing Factory to do statistical work, but she was unwilling to do a good job because she was not familiar with the business.
In August 1951, Deng Yingchao went to Shanghai for treatment. Knowing that her cousin-in-law was in Shanghai, Chen Xiuyun walked into Deng Yingchao's ward with a gift to visit. During this period, Chen Xiuyun vented her bitterness to her cousin-in-law, and proposed to go to Beijing to find her cousin and arrange a good job for her.
Deng Yingchao knew the 10 house rules set by the prime minister, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he said to Chen Xiuyun euphemistically: "Your cousin is very busy, and it's usually very difficult for me to see him, so don't go." ”
At that time, Deng Yingchao was sick and couldn't listen to Chen Xiuyun's endless complaints for a long time, so he persuaded her to go back and told her that she would answer some questions later.
When her condition was a little better, Deng Yingchao wrote a letter to Chen Xiuyun, pointing out her erroneous thoughts, hoping that she could be truly independent and not rely on relationships to get "support", and told her that the prime minister and her own difficulties could not "violate the principle because of her relatives".
Regarding the arrangement of work, Deng Yingchao said in the letter: "For your work opinions, I intend to go to northern Jiangsu to produce or engage in voluntary work, and now the people are organizing it, I hope you pay attention to reading the newspaper and go directly to contact." ”
After receiving the letter from her cousin-in-law, Chen Xiuyun did not fully realize her mistakes, and still went her own way and did not do her job well.
Chen Xiuyun's performance was so messy at work that the leaders had to transfer her to the canteen to work on catering. However, she could not endure the hardships of labor in the process of work, and frequently had conflicts with the workers, which caused dissatisfaction and accusations from the masses.
For this reason, she voluntarily resigned. Due to Chen Xiuyun's special identity, the people of Songjiang County reported the relevant materials to the *** for instructions. **The Prime Minister was shocked when he saw these materials, and gave a clear directive, prompting Chen Xiuyun to realize his mistake and find the Women's Federation of the East China Bureau, review his mistake, and ask for a reassignment.
However, the Women's Federation of the East China Bureau did not fulfill her wishes. Later, Chen Xiuyun learned that the country had a plan to support the border, so he took the initiative to sign up and went to Gansu to work.
**Although the prime minister is strict with his family, he is very concerned about the affairs of the masses and always works day and night to do his best for the welfare of the country.
During his years with Comrade Ho Chi Minh, the prime minister often worked more than 12 hours a day, sometimes as long as 16 hours, and was affectionately known as "all-weather".
Even the Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minh made a request to him in person: "In October 1974, the prime minister had been in the hospital for more than a month due to cancer. One day, an article in the "Reference News" caught his attention.
The article said that some Westerners believe that the current world's grain reserves can only meet the needs of 26 days, and also mentioned that China and the Soviet Union twice bought a large amount of grain in the international market, triggering a ** surge, accusing us of relying too much on the international market to solve the food problem.
After seeing this situation, the prime minister immediately called his secretary Qian Jiadong and asked him to report the situation to Comrade *** in case of emergency.
When Qian Jiadong asked if the prime minister had anything else to explain, the prime minister raised a question about food. He inquired in detail about the quantity, category, and import of grain in the past three years, and highlighted the fact that China exports rice to third world countries, especially Vietnam.
He instructed the Chinese delegates at the UN World Food Conference to refute those unfair remarks on the basis of reason, show China's responsible image, and not rely on world food to solve the problem of domestic food.
The Prime Minister's wisdom and foresight are deeply admired. Before his death, the Prime Minister still cared about others and hoped that the doctors would take care of other sick comrades, and his selflessness and care were touching.
In Mr. and Mrs. Deng Yingchao, after the death of the Prime Minister, in accordance with his last wishes, Deng Yingchao appointed staff to choose a common urn and sprinkle the ashes of the Prime Minister into the sea.
She also instructed Gao Zhenpu and others: "Enlai runs out, take the box home and keep it, and when I die, I will also use this urn." After more than 3 years of hard work, at the beginning of 1992, the *** Memorial Hall at No. 2 Yonghuai Road, Huai'an District, Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province was finally completed.
The 400,000-square-meter memorial, 70% of which is water. The memorial consists of a group of monumental buildings, a memorial island, three artificial lakes and a green space around the lake.
On the 800-meter-long central axis from north to south, monumental buildings such as the viewing platform, the main hall, the first life and performance exhibition hall, the first bronze statue square and the imitation Zhongnanhai West Flower Hall have been established in turn.
The main hall is located on the pedestal of the green lawn, symbolizing *** selfless dedication, thinking about the Chinese people all his life, and he will always be rooted in the land of the motherland. This three-storey building stands on the bronze statue square, the ground floor is the film and television hall, the second floor is the viewing hall, the hall is equipped with a white marble sitting statue of the whole body, and the pedestal is 4 high7 meters, the third floor is the observation deck.
At the same time, the buildings in the museum area are veneered by granite, and the ground is covered with blue gray cement bricks.
The museum is divided into five parts: aspiring to study, revolutionary process, construction of great causes, old age, and eternal style, which are exhibited in various forms such as **, oil painting, sculpture and sound and light, reproducing the glorious life.
In particular, the imitation Zhongnanhai West Flower Hall covers an area of 10,000 square kilometers, according to the pattern of the West Flower Hall of Zhongnanhai in Beijing, designed and built in a one-to-one ratio, and the superstructure is the northern courtyard style of the late Qing Dynasty.
These all show the great image and immortal contribution of the Prime Minister.
In the memorial hall, you will be able to enjoy 35,679 sets of collections, including 287 sets of precious cultural relics, including the Hongqi car used by the prime minister during his lifetime, the No. 2758 plane, the composition and transcript of Nankai School, the briefcase and binoculars used during the Long March, and the cameras and reading glasses used later, the appointment notice of the people, the windbreaker worn when attending the Geneva Conference and the clothes worn before his death, etc.
In order to commemorate this great leader, the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Party Committee decided to hold an opening ceremony on January 6 and invited Deng Yingchao to witness this solemn and warm moment.
Unfortunately, Deng Yingchao's physical condition could not support her to travel far, but she specially called the staff around her, saying that due to the heavy floods in Jiangsu this summer, Huai'an is the hardest hit area, Bingjian has heard the report of Huai'an flood relief representatives in the ** Party School, and many people now have problems eating, so we must ask local leaders to reduce the opening ceremony of the Enlai Memorial Hall to the minimum scale ......On the day of the opening, there are too many people, so it will add trouble to the place and increase the burden of reception.
The relatives of the Zhou family in Jiangsu asked Zhou Erhui to be their representative, and if Erhui was not in good health, he would let Ercui go; Before Enlai's death, Tong Xiaopeng, a staff member around him, was the representative.
The moment Deng Yingchao took a photo in front of the bronze statue of Ruzi Niu in Shenzhen, her wishes deeply affected the people around her, and even the main leaders invited by Shen Daren, Secretary of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee, they decided to cancel this trip to Huai'an, and instead Li Tieying, a member of the Politburo and State Councilor, went to the *** Memorial Hall to cut the ribbon.
The opening ceremony, which was originally prepared to be lively, was reduced in scale due to Deng Yingchao's wishes, and only her secretaries Zhao Wei, Li Tieying, Tong Xiaopeng and Zhou Ercui, as well as some local people in Huai'an, attended.
At the ceremony, Zhao Wei, Li Tieying, Tong Xiaopeng, Zhou Ercui and other leaders did not say a word. Deng Yingchao believes that this approach is in line with the style of the prime minister during his lifetime, and it is also the best way to reflect the prime minister's consistent thinking and life style of being close to the people and loving the people.
After the completion of the memorial hall, it was well received by the people of the whole country, and Xu **, national leaders and the masses came to visit. On April 15, 2000, Zhu Rongji took his wife Lao An to visit the memorial hall.
On that day, Zhu Rongji and his wife Lao An watched very carefully, and according to the staff, they showed a high degree of admiration and respect during their visit to the memorial hall.
Deng Yingchao left a last wish before his death, hoping that his ashes could be scattered with the ashes of Prime Minister *** in the places they often went before their deaths. In accordance with the wishes, the staff used the urn containing the ashes of the prime minister to pack Deng Yingchao's ashes and scattered them in the place where the ashes of the prime minister were scattered 16 years ago, so that they could be with them forever.
