**Why refuse***
On April 30, 1957, ** revealed for the first time to people outside the party that he was not ready to be re-elected as the next chairman.
This is a surprising move. Since taking office in 1949, he has been firmly in the leadership position for eight years, and has become everyone's reassurance, who can compare to him?
However, considering that *** is 64 years old, ** began to look for a candidate who could succeed him, and set his sights on ** and ***.
Although ** has attracted much attention, why did he voluntarily give up power? What was the reaction of ** when he learned of **'s decision? The affection between husband and wife and the mutual appreciation between comrades-in-arms shown in this moment of crisis are very moving.
In the history of the development of the Chinese revolution, the revolutionary friendship between ** and ** perfectly interprets the true meaning of the hero's vision.
The Chinese Communist Party was not discouraged after the defeat of the Great Revolution, and its elite continued to explore. And *** and **, who are seven years older than him, due to their high degree of ideological compatibility, have formed a tacit understanding of "heart and soul".
In June 1927, ** put forward the strategy of "going up the mountain to become the king of the revolutionary mountain", which was an important turning point in China's revolutionary road. ** He walked his word, led the revolutionaries to Jinggangshan, opened up a new road, and revitalized the Chinese revolution.
* He was the first person in the party to put forward the idea of "going up the mountain". At a secret military training class in Moscow in October 1925, he boldly proposed: "The troops have big and small fighting methods, and if necessary, they can drag the troops up the mountain."
Later, after the Nanchang Uprising, he successfully joined forces with the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army led by *** in Jinggangshan and jointly created China's first revolutionary base area.
The Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army suffered a serious setback after the Autumn Harvest Uprising, and the fighters were depressed, exacerbated by the lack of food, heavy losses, and lack of medicine.
In order to boost morale, ** chose to give a speech in the face of the counterattack of the Kuomintang army and the local reactionary armed forces. Although he is not on the same battlefield as ***, he is in the same situation.
* Emphasis: "Without setbacks and failures, there can be no success and victory." These words were like a shot in the arm, inspiring the soldiers to keep going.
Although the Nanchang Uprising on August 1, 1927 ended in failure, he did not give up on the revolution because of this, and he firmly stated: "Although we have failed, we must see clearly the future of the revolution, and the darkness is only temporary." ”
* With such heartfelt words, he demonstrated his revolutionary loyalty and laid a solid foundation for the victory of the revolution. In a crisis, they deal with problems in the same way, which is a good example of their like-mindedness.
In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, ** and ** cooperated tacitly and finally won the victory. Their actions proved that no difficulty can stop the course of the revolution as long as there is firm conviction and unity.
On August 25, 1937, the ** Military Commission reorganized the main Red Army into the Eighth Route Army and put it into the forefront of the anti-Japanese resistance. Sitting in Yan'an, he personally visited the battlefield behind enemy lines in North China, which marked the close cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
However, despite the common goals of the two sides, against such a backdrop, the KMT's petty calculations continued. "The Eighth Route Army will set out from Weinan with two divisions and then assemble in the Weinan area, and the rest of the troops will carry out guerrilla warfare in the Zunhua area. ”
This seemingly reasonable plan actually hides a conspiracy. Because the Eighth Route Army was dispersed to the east and west, and both areas were heavily garrisoned by Kuomintang troops.
The insidious cunning of the Kuomintang was well known, and upon learning of the news, they immediately called, resolutely opposing the plan.
1.*After the victory at Pingxingguan, the first victory was won for the Eighth Route Army, **special call** to congratulate. Under the command of *** and **, the Eighth Route Army was good at using "guerrilla tactics" and continued to succeed on the battlefield of resistance against Japan.
Where you want to attack, you will make sure that the shell hits the target accurately. 2.On February 22, 1938, the Japanese army occupied Tunliu and other places and approached Anze, where the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was located.
Faced with this situation, **called in the middle of the night to ask** to determine what the main purpose of the Japanese army was.
* The comrade's strategy was to use the opponent's small strategy to induce the Eighth Route Army to cross the Yellow River west and return to northern Shaanxi. Comrade acquiesced to this plan, because his judgment was about the same.
By late August, the reorganized Eighth Route Army had reached the North China front. They established an effective anti-Japanese base area and strengthened the strength of the Eighth Route Army. However, this made Chiang Kai-shek feel very angry, and he believed that the Eighth Route Army was relying on the achievements of others, which made him rekindle the idea of "preventing the Communist Party and limiting the Communist Party".
The chairman is the best leader I have ever followed. In the summer of 1922, ** returned to his hometown in Hunan according to Chen Duxiu's instructions to participate in the work of the Hunan District Military Committee of the Communist Party of China.
At the Qingshui Pond, they established a deep friendship.
In a blue-brick house by Qingshui Pond, a revolutionary was waiting for Chen Duxiu. He's *** This is the first time they have met, but they seem to have understood each other for a long time.
Not only hit it off on the revolutionary concept, but even the marriage between *** and He Baozhen was also realized because of the help of *** and Yang Kaihui.
He Baozhen's trust and support made *** emerge in the Anyuan Road miners' strike on September 14, 1922 and became a "good leader of the workers".
After the defeat of the Great Revolution, the development concept of both of them was based on the national conditions, and at the Zunyi Conference in January 1935, they firmly expressed their "correct opinions in support of ***" and supported them with practical actions
At the Wayaobao Conference in December of the same year, he led the formulation of the strategy and guidelines of the anti-Japanese national united front, which opened a new chapter for the establishment of the front.
**In the spring of 1936, he took over the important task and immediately went to North China to guide the work of the Northern Bureau of the Communist Party of China. His outstanding performance made *** very satisfied, and even praised him in the letter: "The work in the north has made significant progress. ”
On the eve of the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he bluntly pointed out at the Politburo meeting that the party's work in the north should put rural credit on the preparations for the War of Resistance against Japan, and put forward the slogan of "defending North China and defending Pingjin".
After *** made it clear that he would not seek re-election, there was widespread speculation about who the successor to the power would be. Many believe that ** is the most likely candidate.
At the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949, ** was the first chairman, and ** was the first vice-chairman. However, when the chairman stepped down, everyone naturally hoped that the vice chairman would take over, but before that, he submitted a "letter of resignation" to Comrade Xiaoping, who was the secretary at the time.
Because of his advanced age and limited energy, Comrade Xiaoping felt that he was not qualified for this position. Citing his age and position, he advocated giving the opportunity to someone with more energy and higher achievements.
At the same time, he feared that if he took the position, then the power could fall into the hands of a competitor. These reasons are well-founded and easy to accept.
The recognition of *** comes from the heart, which is reflected in two aspects: first, after the adjustment of the leading body, the work in charge is the same as that of ***; Second, at the Seventh Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in 1944, a presidium composed of five people was established to deal with the daily work of the Communist Party of China.
Although both *** and ** have their positions, the main focus of ** is still on the affairs within the army. In order to achieve domestic peace, ** went to Chongqing in August 1945 to negotiate with Chiang Kai-shek.
During the period of ***'s absence from Beijing, ** was appointed to the chairman's position. In March 1947, Chiang Kai-shek broke the armistice agreement and launched an attack on Yan'an, so he set up a working committee with *** as the secretary to go to North China to carry out the assigned tasks.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the ability of the first class has also been fully demonstrated. For example, major events such as ***'s visit to the Soviet Union in 1950, ***'s illness in March 1951, and ***'s visit to the Soviet Union in 1957 to participate in the celebration of the October Revolution were all presided over by *** instead of ***.
Mao Liu Zhu knows that it may be more convenient for ***, who often assists the chairman in handling busy affairs, to take over as the chairman. Although he was vice-chairman, his main responsibility had always been on the military side.
Mao and Zhu complement each other, but because of this complementarity, they are indispensable. ** In charge of the military, so another person is needed to be in charge of politics and economics.
*With *** is the most qualified successor. As China enters a new stage of development, for the sake of the development of the country and the country, it is necessary to change the leadership style and inject new vitality.
Therefore, when ** considered letting ** take over power, he put a polite letter of rejection on Comrade Xiaoping's desk, and the CCP ** finally accepted **'s proposal. On April 5, 1959, Comrade Xiaoping made a report on the staffing plan of state institutions on behalf of the Politburo at the Seventh Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee, and was nominated as a candidate.
There are several outstanding comrades who can be qualified for this position, such as ** and other old comrades in the party, but after comprehensive consideration, we decided that *** is more suitable for this position. ”
When speaking, Xiaoping added to explain the matter, **Under the witness of everyone, he insisted that he recommended the chairman of *** deeply felt **selfless and broad, he knew that ** could be qualified for this important task, but because of his age, he was worried that ** his body would not be able to bear it.
* Devoted his life to the revolutionary cause, the chairman did not want him to be more nervous as he approached old age, but wanted to be able to relax moderately. Everyone agreed with the chairman's idea, and at the second session of the National People's Congress on April 27, 1959, he was successfully elected as the chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.
**Don't forget the original intention, and always take solving the problems of people's clothing, food, housing and transportation in mind. In 1961, when the national economy was in difficulty, he told He Changyou of Ningxiang County about his revolutionary purpose, that is, to solve the problems of the broad masses of the people.
Therefore, when the problem of peasants' housing urgently needed to be solved, he went deep into the rural areas to conduct investigations and put forward a proposal that "the rural areas should return their houses to the people." Although his passenger ship was hit by a tornado in April 1960, he still insisted on saying "just because I am ***, I should save the people first" on the small fishing boat.
The actions and determination of ** fully confirmed the discernment of the chairman and the marshal. Mr. Zhu's life is a life of dedication to the revolution and struggle for the people, he abandoned his personal fame and fortune, only pretended to be the people in his heart, and regarded the people as everything, which is the real reason why he refused to serve as the first official.
Mr. Zhu's noble spirit and extraordinary mind are worthy of our eternal admiration and learning. His great achievements and broad-mindedness beyond ordinary people are worthy of our deep admiration and learning.
Great Leader**.
