On January 8, 1976, after years of suffering from illness, the prime minister passed away with reluctance and deep affection for the people. When the obituary of Prime Minister *** was transmitted to the people of the whole country through radio and radio, for a while, almost no one wanted to believe this fact. In the hearts of the people, the ***, who is amiable and always thinks about the interests of the people for the sake of the Son of Man and puts the interests of the people first, should at least live a long life. 
**After learning the news of the death of his closest comrade-in-arms and partner, he was also very sad, and sat on the sofa alone and wept alone for several days. When the premier's eulogy was taken to the chairman for review by Zhang Yufeng, the secretary of ***, ** suddenly felt that this eulogy was a little lacking and inappropriate, he said to Zhang Yufeng in a weak voice that the three words "most intimate" should be added to the position of "comrade-in-arms of **", after speaking, the chairman remembered that he had fought side by side with the prime minister for decades, and tears fell like rain. 
The Prime Minister's 007 and 365*** dedicated their lives to the Motherland and the people, and as early as the revolutionary period, ** was known for his work of forgetting to sleep and eating, and he often forgot to eat and rest for the sake of work. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, ** did not get out of such intense and high-intensity work. ** Always think that New China has just been established, is still in a difficult period of poverty and whiteness, as an important leader of the party and the country, he should take the lead in hard work, race against time, and put all his energy on the construction of New China. To this end, he often worked until one or two o'clock in the evening or even longer, sometimes through the night, but the next day he got up early to start a new day's efforts, tirelessly. 
People's energy is limited, Lei Feng once wrote in his diary: "Human life is limited, but serving the people is unlimited, I want to put my limited life into unlimited service to the people", this sentence is also appropriate for the prime minister. However, after all, people are mortal fetuses, and the body has a limit after all, under the long-term overload of work and the intensification of extreme inner anxiety, even the iron body can not bear such consumption, and the long-term overwork makes *** was diagnosed with heart disease for the first time on February 2, 1967. 
**Born in 1898, he was nearly seventy years old when he was diagnosed with a heart attack, but he was such an old man who worked hard for many years and was reluctant to rest. Even when he was diagnosed with heart disease, he did not slack off at all, but worked harder and wanted to cherish as much time as possible to serve the people. At the Canton Fair in April 1967, ***, who had just been diagnosed with heart disease for two months, worked tirelessly for forty-eight hours again despite the doctor's advice. **Excessive fatigue and severe lack of sleep cause angina pectoris and "frequent premature ventricular contractions". Sadly, since then, ** has to use an oxygen inhaler to sleep every night to sleep. 
People's hearts are flesh and blood, and the work of continuous rotation is just to be able to seek more benefits for the people, but he ignores that he is already a weathered old man, and he is no longer the strong guy he was back then, and continuous overload is a fatal injury for an old man. What kind of "996 work system and good fortune" advocated by Ma someone a few years ago is nothing, it is just a disguised exploitation and beautiful name of the capitalists for employees. Compared with the work intensity of ***007, it is simply not worth mentioning, not to mention that *** is open all year round, almost 365 days a day. 
In 1972, ** was diagnosed with bladder cancer again, and began to have blood in the stool, which is a very dangerous signal, in that era when medical technology was not yet developed, ** life seems to have begun to enter the countdown, and there is a danger of falling down at any time. Even when he was terminally ill, he did not follow the doctor's advice at all, and he began to race against time as if he knew that his time was short, and insisted on working as long as he was awake and energetic. During that time, ** often said: "I only have 8 words 'do my best, and then die'!" ”
It was like an affectionate confession,* giving all his love to the country and the people he loved so much. That's what he said, and that's what he did. In 1974, when ***'s health was not as good as before, and he was seriously ill, for 139 days from January to May, ** Prime Minister worked less than 12 hours except for only 13 days, most of the rest were between 14 and 20 hours, and there were 5 full full days, ** was continuous work 24 hours. 
After the third major operation, **'s weight was only 61 pounds, and it was hard to imagine what kind of great soul was supporting such a "weak" body. However, ***, who has a strong spiritual core, is still full of energy and confidence, and he wrote in his report letter to ***: "I can still afford it now, and I still weigh 61 pounds. Everything is in order, and you can rest assured, Chairman. How fortunate it is that the Chinese people can have such a "bow and die and die" *** This can't help but remind people of a sentence that before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Soviet Mikoyan once said: "You will not have trouble in preparing for the ****, because you have a ready-made prime minister, **you go to ** to find such a good prime minister?" "What an insightful view, even the Soviets know that *** is a truly rare prime minister of a country, and *** has not failed to live up to the expectations of the people, he has been working hard for the well-being of the people all his life, and for the self-reliance and self-improvement of New China. When *** died, the whole world was impressed by such a great prime minister with great charisma. 
On January 7, 1976, ** woke up from a deep sleep, and when he was dying, ** did not forget to tell the staff and medical staff around him: "I have nothing to do here, you still have to take care of other sick comrades, and you are more needed to ...... there."In the face of life and death, ** is calm, he attended the ashes placement ceremony of ** marshal as early as the year before and told He Shuai's daughter that he was not long. **There is a number in the heart, and there is no sadness and fear that no one is going to die. After the second half of 1975, **'s condition deteriorated to the extent that he could only be bedridden, which was undoubtedly a very heavy blow to ***, who had been strong all his life. During this time, the marshal visited him almost every day and reported to him and discussed important issues. 
Although there was a rule at that time that only leaders above a certain level could visit ***, many people who had worked beside *** strongly requested to visit the prime minister and send off the prime minister in his last days. In the face of repeated sincere requests, Ms. Tang Yingchao agreed to visit the Prime Minister while he was asleep. The reason why Ms. Deng Yingchao made such a choice and regulation is that she doesn't want to hurt everyone's sincerity to ***, and secondly, she doesn't want *** to see everyone's grief, which is also for the sake of ***'s health. At that time, ** lived in the pain of illness and torture almost every day, and he didn't want everyone to see how uncomfortable he was. As the former prime minister and prime minister, he pays great attention to his personal image, and whenever he is, he always appears in front of the world with a confident attitude. When attending diplomatic occasions, ** knows that he represents the image of the Chinese people, and has always taken care of himself meticulously, refining his face, movements, and language. Because his every move represents the image of New China.
However, on the days when *** was seriously ill, the secretary had suggested that *** repair his beard and hair, but *** said that the barber would be sad to see his appearance. In order to take care of the barber's emotions, ** has not had a haircut and beard since he was bedridden. In the early days of the revolution, there was a decade of not shaving, and there were two theories about this at the time. One is that when you are doing underground work in Shanghai, you need to change your beard and change your image to cover yourself for safety. The second argument is even more arrogant, ** after Chiang Kai-shek plotted to launch the "April 12 counter-revolutionary coup" in 1927, he vowed never to shave until he captured Chiang Kai-shek alive.
Ten years later, after the Xi'an Incident in 1936, Zhang Xueliang met *** who came to discuss how to solve the incident in Xi'an, and was surprised to find that *** had cut off the beard that had grown for many years. For Zhang Xueliang's surprise, ** replied very heartily: "To do ** work, be polite." After this incident, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party reached a cooperation and unanimously resisted Japan and protected the Chinese nation. * also jokingly said: "* I haven't shaved for 10 years, but once I shaved it, I got the cooperation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party!" This is the most valuable beard in the world, and it is worth a fortune! ”
In fact, according to the "Memoirs of the Prime Minister's Guard" written by Cheng Yuangong, who has worked beside Prime Minister for many years, we can understand that there is a special reason why he has a beard in the twenties and thirties of the last century. **When he was in a good mood, he chatted with Cheng Yuangong and others about the past when he grew a beard, saying that he grew a beard in the Kuomintang area mainly for the needs of work and struggle, and he could use his beard to leave and pretend to be a priest or businessman to achieve a hidden purpose. The reason why I didn't shave during the Long March sounded very sad, simply because there was no razor that could shave during the special difficult period at that time.
After he became seriously ill, his day-to-day work was presided over by the then First Deputy Prime Minister, who said at a meeting: "The hospital doesn't want to let me out, but I still want to try to come and see you once a week." In fact, even in the hospital, the prime minister did not sit idle, but shifted his energy and work focus to meeting foreign guests. During the days of hospitalization, the most met were foreign dignitaries from Asia, Africa and Latin America. He once said to Marcos, the Philippine ** who visited at the time: "I beg your pardon, I am sick. I should have had a family dinner, and I would have invited you whole family, our old friend, Mr. Romulo, to dinner. But now it's not possible".
Before his death, the Prime Minister repeatedly stressed to Ms. Deng Yingchao that he would be cremated after death, and that his ashes should be scattered on the land of Chicheng that he loved so much. Since 1956, when the decision to change burial to cremation was made, the prime minister also agreed with it and took the lead in implementing it. ** More than once it has been said that "Why do people keep their ashes after death?" Sprinkle it in the ground to make fertilizer, and sprinkle it in water to feed the fish. To this end, the prime minister made three wills before his death: first, he did not keep the body, practiced cremation, and scattered the ashes on the mountains and rivers of the motherland; Second, don't be special, and the funeral can't exceed any leading comrade; Third, there will be no memorial service. At 9:57 a.m. on January 8, 1976, the prime minister passed away at the age of 78 after completing his great life of glorious glory and "dedication" for the people.
When the news of ***'s death was reported to ***, for ***'s three wills, **respected and approved the first two, but did not agree with *** Prime Minister not to hold a memorial service. The aftermath of the event and the revision of the eulogy after the death of *** also had a great reaction around the world. Since the 70s of the 20th century, with the coming to power of the new US ** Nixon, the relationship between China and the United States has begun to move from confrontation to relaxation. In the 1960s, the United States was mired in the Vietnam Theater. The world is still in a state of Cold War in which the United States and the Soviet Union are competing against each other.
Because the United States spent a lot of manpower, material resources and funds in the jungles of Vietnam, it seriously affected its economic and social development, so that there were signs of gradually being overtaken by the Soviet Union. In order to stop the loss in time and to gain an advantageous position in the competition with the Soviets, the United States urgently needed to withdraw from the quagmire of Vietnam. So, at the behest of Nixon, the United States took the initiative to contact China and started an ice-breaking journey, and the prime minister once dragged his tired and seriously ill body to talk with the then US Secretary of State Kissinger, and turned the big ball with a small ball, and restored the normalization of diplomatic relations with the United States.
In the process, on October 25, 1971, China also regained its lawful seat in the United Nations General Assembly vote. These are the precious political legacies won by the first generation of leaders such as *** and *** for the Chinese people. After the death of the prime minister, the leaders of the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Belgium and other major countries in the Western world have successively expressed their condolences and highly praised words.
At that time, the United States ** Ford issued a statement that Americans will not forget the important role and contribution played by the Prime Minister in creating a new relationship between China and the United States, and expressed condolences to China and the people. US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said that his death was not only a loss to the Chinese people, but also a loss to the world.
He believed that in the twentieth century, almost no one could match the impact of *** on the world, and among the politicians from all over the world who knew more than 100 people, no one surpassed *** in intelligence, philosophy, experience and wisdom He was very saddened by the death of ***. BONN (DPA) -- After dying at the age of seventy-eight after a long illness, he was highly respected and praised abroad. NEW YORK, AP -- Today, many non-communist countries mourn China's premier as a glorious and brilliant statesman.
To be praised by so many Western leaders and dignitaries, the prime minister is indeed very remarkable. He used his personality charm to portray the beautiful image of New China and the Chinese people all over the world. ** Such a great politician is a man of high quality, elegant speech, erudition, distinctive, intelligent, talented, quick-witted and humorous, handsome and dashing, and a man full of charisma. Even all the words of beauty in the world can be used on him, and he can definitely afford such boasting and praise.
On January 8, when ** died, all the medical staff and staff in the audience could no longer suppress their strong grief, calling out loudly to the prime minister, people cried and did not want to believe that this final moment had come, how they hoped that the prime minister could wake up again and tell them about the suffering and glory of the year. The whole ward was crying, and everyone was immersed in such a sad mood, even if they knew that *** was tormented by illness and would eventually grow old, but when the final moment came, no one was willing to accept this reality. Among all the grieving people, Ms. Deng Yingchao is the most sad one.
Deng Yingchao supported her body, with extreme grief, and walked to the prime minister's hospital bed with tears in her eyes, she gently stroked ***'s cheek, and kissed ***'s forehead for the last time with affection, and said her last goodbye to her closest comrades-in-arms and comrades, Ms. Deng Yingchao said infinitely sadly: "Enlai, you are ...... gone.""The deep love between the Prime Minister and Ms Tang Wing-chiu has always been an exemplary example of a pair of beloved ones that people envy and admire. At a banquet, Ms. Deng Yingchao once said affectionately that he and she had a four-tier relationship with the prime minister. is not only a classmate and a comrade-in-arms, but also a comrade and a lover. The two have gone through the ups and downs of half a century together, although they have not given birth to a single offspring, but there is still a special sweetness and love between the two. The most ideal love appearance in the minds of many people.
Ms. Deng Yingchao's cry resounded throughout the ward, which was extremely heartbreaking. Subsequently, the leaders who waited for this sad news began to come to the ward of *** one after another to mourn. ** and others are coming one after another. Ms. Deng Yingchao announced the will, Ms. Deng Yingchao endured her grief and said: "Enlai is such a style, you all know him, he is gone, everyone will respect his meaning." However, what people didn't expect was that the first person to object was ***
After listening to the Prime Minister's will, the comrade objected to not holding a memorial service and not holding a farewell ceremony for the body, he said: "No, you can't use the Prime Minister to open a knife without a memorial service." In that case, we will not be able to account to the people of the whole country. "In the end, with the opinion and approval of ***, **in respect of the will of the Prime Minister, *** was allowed to be cremated and ashes to be thrown in four places on the land of the motherland. But the memorial service must be held, and the people of the whole country must send off their most beloved prime minister.
On January 11, the farewell ceremony of **'s body was held in Beijing Hospital, and many important leaders rushed to see *** for the last time. ** The commander-in-chief has just returned to Beijing from Beidaihe and was admitted to the hospital, and his old man's body has also entered the period of his last years, for the sake of Commander-in-Chief Zhu's health, people initially concealed the news of the premier's death from him. **When he died, Commander-in-Chief Zhu had just been discharged from the hospital, and he also said that he would go to the hospital to visit him when he got better in a few days*** However, he heard the obituary of ***'s death from the radio, and this news once made Commander-in-Chief unbelievable.
* Commander-in-Chief despite dissuasion, insisted on participating in the farewell ceremony of ***'s body, and at the scene, he gave *** a straight salute to ***, which was also the last military salute in the life of the commander-in-chief. Everyone present was moved and teary-eyed. On the afternoon after the ceremony, millions of people in the capital spontaneously walked up Chang'an Avenue and stood quietly on the side of the street, waiting for the hearse carrying the remains of *** to pass by. Ten miles of Chang'an Street, sad and solemn, it seems that God is also crying.
The day before the memorial service was held, he asked his secretary Zhang Yufeng to read the eulogy to him and added the words "most intimate". As a deputy, the prime minister has always been the right-hand man of the prime minister, and they have experienced the revolutionary period of bullets and bullets together, and jointly created the great motherland. Over the past decades, the two have worked closely together, achieved each other, and worked hard for the victory of the Chinese revolution and the establishment of New China, creating achievements that have attracted worldwide attention. **After his death, he didn't eat for three days after learning the bad news. In memory of his closest comrades-in-arms and most effective assistants. **'s memorial service was scheduled for January 15, 1976, and on the 14th, the already seriously ill *** reappeared in a serious condition, and it was very difficult to even sit up, let alone stand and walk.
Although I really want to participate in the memorial service, I will send him his closest comrade-in-arms and comrade at the end. But at this time, *** was already weak, and he could only ask the secretary over and over again that day if ***'s memorial service had begun. When the memorial service officially began, although he was not at the scene, he was also grief-stricken and silently wept. At that moment, how lonely and powerless it was.
