On January 8, 1976, ** passed away, and the whole country mourned. A few days later, his secretary came to the West Flower Hall in Zhongnanhai with a heavy heart to sort out the premier's relics.
Each document is the result of the Prime Minister's painstaking efforts, and they have carefully sorted them out one by one. Thinking of the scene of the prime minister working day and night, they have mixed feelings in their hearts.
Suddenly, someone found a special document in the corner of a drawer, which no one had ever seen. When they opened the file, they were stunned to find that it was a never-before-issued instruction, signed with a **** and flowing name.
After reading the content, they immediately understood that this was an important instruction that the prime minister had specially treasured for two years.
Who is Deng Yingchao? What role did she play in the seizure instructions? How did this directive affect the history of the time? All of this is closely related to her early experience at Tianjin Zhili No. 1 Girls' Normal School.
On May 4, 1919, a patriotic movement led by young students broke out in Beijing, marking the official opening of the door to China's new democracy. Not only that, but young students from Tianjin, Shanghai and other big cities have also taken to the streets and marched.
Deng Yingchao is one of them, although she is young, only 15 years old, but her revolutionary enthusiasm is stronger than anyone else, and she cares more about the fate of the country and the nation than anyone else.
The key person in this instruction is her, and her decisions ultimately affect ***'s actions.
She resolutely devoted herself to the May Fourth Movement, calling for "let us all the nation work as one, cheer up our spirits, and work hard for the progress of the country", and regarded fighting for the country as her life's cause and goal.
In the middle of the last century, the social status of women was extremely low. Especially for girls born at the bottom of society, most of them don't have access to education, let alone new ideas.
The reason why Deng Yingchao had such an advanced revolutionary consciousness and dared to join the May Fourth Movement, which most people regarded as a "dangerous activity", was largely influenced by her mother.
Deng Yingchao's mother was a very strong and independent woman, and after her husband died, she took her children from Guangxi to Tianjin alone to work as a doctor in a nursery in Tianjin.
In such an environment, she realized from an early age that women cannot rely on others, and only self-reliance, self-esteem and self-love can gain a foothold in society. Therefore, when Deng Yingchao saw the unfair status quo of Chinese society, he came up with the idea of breaking the status quo, and was determined to fight for the rights and interests of the poor people, fight for women's independence, and awaken women to participate in the patriotic movement.
In addition to giving speeches in public, she also led the team members to go deep into the people, go from house to house, and promote the idea of national salvation to the people. These revolutionary actions were far more dangerous than one might think, because the warlords and feudal forces of the time were extremely disgusted with the progressives, and the slightest mistake could be caught by the reactionaries.
However, Deng Yingchao has always believed in his beliefs and has never flinched. On September 16, 1919, she joined a patriotic organization"Enlightenment Society", became one of the founding members of the organization.
She and her comrades-in-arms launched many large-scale ** activities, which pushed the patriotic movement in Tianjin to a climax. During this period, Deng Yingchao got acquainted with ***, who was also a progressive youth
The two of them have a lot in common in the patriotic movement, and Deng Yingchao's firm revolutionary beliefs and resolute revolutionary actions make *** very appreciative.
**During his study in France, he maintained close correspondence with Deng Yingchao, and the relationship between the two deepened over time. In 1923, ** sent Deng Yingchao a postcard expressing his love in France, Deng Yingchao was deeply excited, and replied that he was willing to fight with him for the communist ideal for life, and his thoughts were the same.
On August 8, 1925, the two officially became revolutionary partners, but simply invited colleagues and friends in Guangzhou to have a meal to witness their love, and did not hold a grand wedding.
After getting married, Deng Yingchao and *** got together less and left more, but they still stuck to their posts and worked hard for the revolutionary cause. Deng Yingchao wears many hats, not only leading the women's liberation movement in Guangdong, but also serving as the secretary of the **Women's Committee and the secretary-general of the ** bureau, and her work is very busy.
When the *** created the ** secret service department, Deng Yingchao did not hesitate to join the dangerous underground work and fight side by side with him. In order to protect our telegrams from being intercepted and translated by the enemy, ** designed a "Haomi" cipher code, and he would personally translate each telegram.
If he is not there, Deng Yingchao will translate on his behalf. She even memorized the entire complex telegram to improve the speed and efficiency of translation.
After Deng Yingchao unfortunately contracted tuberculosis, he was forced to resign from the post of secretary general of the ** bureau and handed over to *** to take over. Despite her poor health, she still tried her best to participate in party work and relieve pressure on others.
During the Long March, Deng Yingchao had a high fever that did not go away, but she still insisted on marching with the troops, and her overwork caused her to cough up a lot of blood. When crossing the meadow, ** could only lie on a stretcher because of amoebic liver abscess, Deng Yingchao, who was also sick and in pain, insisted on following his stretcher, and was almost swallowed by the swamp on the first day.
In the end, Deng Yingchao successfully completed the difficult long march with her tenacious will, but the fatigue of the past year aggravated her condition and laid the root of the disease.
Deng Yingchao, a leader who made significant contributions to the women's movement of our party during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Her abilities and influence were so great that even the Kuomintang Chiang Kai-shek had to admit her worth.
During the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, she was approved by Chiang Kai-shek as one of the six guaranteed representatives as the only female representative, which fully demonstrated her high status in the country.
As for the selfless ***, he also recognized Deng Yingchao's ability and contribution, and believed that she was fully capable of holding important leadership positions. However, when *** was responsible for forming and screening candidates for the national ministry commissioner, he did not arrange a ministerial-level position for her according to Deng Yingchao's contribution and ability, nor did he arrange any position for her.
This made many people feel puzzled, including Jiang Xianyun, a friend of the *** couple for many years, who felt aggrieved for Deng Yingchao, so they found the prime minister to express their opposition to the decision.
**The "down" of Deng Yingchao's position is not because of the relationship between husband and wife, but for the better development of work. Deng Yingchao understands and supports the decision of *** and devotes all her energy to the cause of women's liberation.
** Only "public" in my heart, never "private", has always paid attention to cultivating the integrity of party cadres, and resolutely opposes the use of public power for private interests. At the 1963 conference, he strongly criticized twenty types of bureaucracy and warned of the serious harm it caused to the party.
He explicitly pointed out that leading cadres must pass well the "ideological, political, social, kinial, and life-threatening barriers," and the saddest hurdle is the "kinship pass."
The concept of kinship is deeply ingrained in China's 5,000-year-old culture and is difficult to get rid of. The successful model of "one person wins the right chicken and dog" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but this atmosphere runs counter to the party's concept of fairness and justice.
Even after he became prime minister, many people came to the door for help, but *** always refused these unreasonable demands. He set a good example by setting an example by strictly restraining the younger generations around him.
** The handling of family affairs is strict and low-key, and he emphasizes that the younger generations from other places cannot easily leave their jobs to visit Beijing, and relatives from other places cannot live in their own homes casually.
He demanded that the children keep the family's affairs secret, not to flaunt their relationship with them, and not to use it for personal gain. In order to downplay the particularity of the family, he even offered to demolish his former home to build a school and a factory for the benefit of the country and the masses.
Although the Huai'an County Party Committee was reluctant to demolish his house and turn it into a study room for the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, a large number of people still came to visit.
He put his country first and put all his heart and soul into his work, sometimes even working more than 16 hours a day. In his life, he pursued simplicity and never pursued specialization.
He insisted on a low-standard two dishes and one soup, mostly used common fish as meat dishes, and never looked down on high-end seafood. Sometimes, because the meeting with the representatives of the mass organizations was too long and exceeded the meal, he would also hold the meeting while eating a biscuit for two cents, as everyone else did.
He is extremely strict with himself and his family, and is a model of strict self-discipline. And his revolutionary partner, Deng Yingchao, has always adhered to the party spirit and expressed full support for his actions.
In the 27 years that he has served as the premier, Deng Yingchao has fulfilled his duties in the position of vice chairman of the Women's Federation and dedicated 27 years. Even if he personally instructed Deng Yingchao to serve as the vice chairman of the Fourth National People's Congress, he was resolutely opposed, and even secretly hid this warrant until he died, and it was not discovered by the secretary until after his death.
Zhou Gong's demeanor is admirable. In 1974, in order to prepare for the Fourth National People's Congress, the Political Bureau held a working meeting on the personnel arrangements of the Fourth National People's Congress in Beijing.
At the meeting, the proposal to make Deng Yingchao the vice chairman of the committee was unanimously approved by the Politburo. Although ** was already very ill this year, he still insisted on going to Changsha to report to *** to finalize the personnel arrangements.
** insisted on his opinion, believing that Deng Yingchao was not suitable for important work in the party at this time, so he hid ***'s warrant in a drawer for two years until his death.
When this warrant was discovered, everyone was moved by the selflessness of *** and Deng Yingchao's "husband and wife", and couldn't help crying.
** and Deng Yingchao and his wife have always put the overall situation first, they never care about the size of the position and monetary reward, but actively seek to reduce their own treatment. In 1952, it was decided to change the remuneration of labor from the wage system to the wage system, which was divided into 24 levels, and the salary range was between 45 and 590.
Salary assessment is mainly based on two aspects: first, the length of time he participated in the revolution, and second, the level of positions held within the party. The longer the revolution lasted and the higher the positions in the party, the higher the salary.
There is no doubt about the revolutionary qualifications of ** and ***, as the leaders of the new China, they should get a first-class salary. However, ** thought it was inappropriate, and he offered to leave the first-level salary for the martyrs and take the second-level salary himself.
Cai Chang, president of the All-China Women's Federation, has a salary of **, and Deng Yingchao should be rated as vice chairman.
Between levels 3 and 4. However, after Deng Yingchao found out, he resolutely said that it was not appropriate to set a fourth level for himself, and he should set a fifth level, because "my old man will not agree." ”
He Qian reported to *** on the salary assessment in the party, and ** expressed his satisfaction after listening. But when he learned that He Qian's salary was one level higher than that of Li Yinqiao, the guard of ***, he was deeply puzzled.
He Qian explained that this was due to the fact that Li Yinqiao joined the revolution earlier than him. **After listening to it, I thought about it and decided to ask Deng Yingchao's opinion in person. * Walked into Deng Yingchao's office, told her about the salary assessment, and suggested that she adjust her salary to administrative level 6.
Deng Yingchao accepted this suggestion without hesitation and expressed his willingness to apply for demotion from **. Not only that, He Qian also took the initiative to lower his salary by one level under the persuasion of ***, and maintained the same level as Li Yinqiao.
** and Deng Yingchao's behavior shows that they attach great importance to the interests of the country. Their willingness to sacrifice personal gains and losses for the sake of national interests is a noble quality and spirit.
Their actions should also serve as an example for us to follow.
The two have worked hard for the country for decades, regardless of personal gains and losses, and have always lived a simple and simple life. The diet is only two dishes and one soup, and the clothes are like ten years a day, and a shirt is worn with raw edges rolled up and patches and is reluctant to be discarded.
Gao Zhenpu, who served as the secretary of the guard of *** and Deng Yingchao, recalled that when the prime minister recalled the prime minister, he could not forget the leather shoes that had changed the soles twice when he polished his shoes, and the soles of his forefeet were patched with leather because they were damaged.
Whenever he thinks of these things, Gao Zhenpu can't help but sigh: "* The simplicity of the *, I'm afraid we can't imagine it today." Working beside the Prime Minister has given me a deep understanding of what it means to be noble, great and honest. ”
** and Deng Yingchao spent their lives practicing the Communists' commitment to "serving the people". Throughout their lives, they have always worked hard to create value for the country, and they do not care about their personal rights.
Their spirit of being willing to sacrifice for the country and selflessly serving the public is worthy of every Chinese's memory. I would like to salute them with this article!
