On January 8, 1976, the People's Radio Station published a painful obituary: Comrade ** died at 9:57 a.m. today due to his illness and ineffective treatment of cancer.
When the bad news came out, people invariably took to the streets, mourning with tears and crying, and Qiao Guanhua, the chief of *** at the time, pushed off all official duties and held a wake-up for *** for three whole days.
At that time, **'s body was transported to Babaoshan Crematorium on January 11 to prepare for cremation.
On the way to the crematorium, people invariably walked to the hearse, blocking the road and preventing the cremation of ***'s body.
Please save the Prime Minister's body! "
Don't let the Prime Minister leave us! ”
On the hearse, Deng Yingchao burst into tears and was very moved after learning about the people's demands. Like the people, she is also reluctant to have the remains of *** cremated. But cremating the remains is ***'s own last wish.
is a staunch materialist who does not believe in any ghosts or gods. Before he died, he said to the people around him:
After I die, don't hold a memorial service, let alone build a memorial hall. It would be nice to scatter my ashes directly. ”
Although *** says so, how can people let our beloved *** leave us forever. He's ***! **Dedicated to serving the people, no savings, no children!
In the hearts of the people, he is not only the prime minister, but also his own relative. Working hard all my life and not having children of my own. But the people of the whole country are flesh and blood.
It is only 10 kilometers from Tiananmen Square to the crematorium, but the hearse takes 1 hour and 35 minutes. People crowded on both sides of the hearse and ***
Finally, the hearse reached the door of the crematorium. The mourning music sounded, and the glass coffin containing the body of *** was carried off the hearse and walked inside step by step.
Qiao Guanhua rushed out of the crowd, knelt in front of the coffin, and touched ***'s face through the glass
Prime Minister, you have no children. Today, let me be my son and send you on your last journey! ”
This diplomat, who was fighting at the UN General Assembly and exalting the prestige of our country, suddenly turned into a child and cried "woo-woo".
** is as kind to Qiao Guanhua as a mountain, and Qiao Guanhua loves *** as his father.
When Qiao Guanhua first started working, he was transferred to work in "Xinhua**", which was a blessing of acquaintance.
When Qiao Guanhua was sick and hospitalized, he sent his secretary Gong Peng to his side and matched them to become husband and wife, which was the kindness of the matchmaker.
Thinking of ***'s kindness to himself, Comrade Qiao Guanhua was even more excited and cried.
Premier! Don't go! ”
Two staff members stepped forward to drag Qiao Guanhua away, and the glass coffin was finally carried into the crematorium.
Subsequently, the door of the crematorium was closed, and the grieving people stood outside the door, expressing their grief over the departure of *** with cries and shouts.
In the crematorium, no one wants to take over the cremation of the remains of Xia *** and personally send away the good prime minister of the people.
An excellent party member took over this glorious task and stood in front of the crematorium.
When the cremation time came, the party member pressed the "start" button and knelt in front of the stove with a "bang" and cried bitterly: "* You go all the way!" ”
A few days later, **'s ashes were transported to the plane and scattered in the four places where he fought: Beijing, Miyun Reservoir, the entrance to the Haihe River, and the entrance to the Yellow River. A great man left his beloved motherland and people in this way.
Although *** is gone, he always lives in the hearts of Comrade Qiao Guanhua and in the hearts of each of us.
