After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he held important leadership positions in the party and the state for a long time, and his work was very busy. Wang Guangmei, as the wife of ***, shoulders the responsibilities of political secretary and life secretary, and is the right-hand man in life and work.
Since getting married, Wang Guangmei and *** have hardly been separated for a long time, and the relationship between the two is very good. ** In life, I care about Wang Guangmei, but the work requirements are very strict, Wang Guangmei has been making progress over the years, and her work ability has been unanimously recognized and respected.
In June 1963, Wang Guangmei returned to Beijing after completing her visit to four Southeast Asian countries. During this period, the socialist education movement in the rural areas was carried out on a large scale within the party, and in fact, it was to arrange for some people to work at the grassroots level in the rural areas for a period of time to understand the development of the rural areas.
** told Wang Guangmei about this and said: "I hope you go to the south to participate in the socialist education movement, what do you think?".”
Wang Guangmei: "I am very willing to go to the grassroots level in the countryside to exercise, but I can't understand the southern language, so I think it is more suitable in the north." ”
After discussing with the husband and wife, it was decided that Wang Guangmei would go to Hebei to participate in the socialist education movement. However, unexpectedly, the staff around ** did not approve of Wang Guangmei's departure at this time.
Because, everyone knows in their usual relationship that Wang Guangmei is not only the right-hand man at work, but also takes care of the food, clothing, housing and transportation in life. **There are a total of 9 children, although they are half-siblings, they are also taken care of by Wang Guangmei every day.
What's more, **Recently, he has suffered from lung disease**, his physical condition is not good, and he needs Wang Guangmei's care and companionship. Liu Zhende, the confidential secretary of **, as a representative, told Wang Guangmei everyone's opinions, and Wang Guangmei said: "I am not worried about Comrade Shaoqi's current physical condition, but this matter was proposed by him, and it is not good to refuse."
I don't know how this situation was known, and I didn't agree with Wang Guangmei to go down to participate in the socialist education movement, and strongly asked Wang Guangmei to accompany *** to Beidaihe to rest for a period of time and recover from her illness.
After living in Beidaihe for a few days, ** his health improved, and the couple packed up their things and went back to Beijing. After returning to Beijing, ** once again urged Wang Guangmei to participate in the socialist education movement.
So, Wang Guangmei told everyone about this matter again at the party branch meeting, in order to persuade everyone, Wang Guangmei specially mentioned: "A few days ago, at the Spring Lotus Zhai Ball, I and *** mentioned that we were going to go to the countryside of Hebei to participate in the socialist education movement, and we were very happy to hear it and expressed our approval.
Liu Zhende is the secretary of the party branch, and he opened his mouth to express his attitude: "Since the chairman supports you to go down, of course we support it." We will definitely do our job well and support you with practical actions. ”
Wang Guangmei's trip to the countryside of Hebei was decided in this way, and Li Shaoqi knew that Wang Guangmei was not at ease with himself, so he was relieved and said: "You can go with confidence, isn't it just more than a year?"Everyone has their own situation, and if there is a difficulty, overcome it!”
A few days before Wang Guangmei left home, she met a few guards muttering together, and heard them say that *** is 65 years old, and after taking sleeping pills, she is used to reading a few pages in bed. A few times I went to the bathroom at night, and I fell down, which was dangerous.
The guards discussed, and after Wang Guangmei left, they moved to the door of the *** bedroom to be on duty, and they could find out if there was any movement in the house.
Wan Guangmei was very moved when she heard this, but after thinking about it, she still told *** about the matter, and after hearing it, she called the chief guard and said, "You all have good intentions, but don't be so troublesome." You're worried that I'll fall out of bed, so I'll just sleep on the floor. ”
The guards had no choice but to clean up the house, arrange the mattresses on the floor, and lay the floor.
On the day Wang Guangmei left, ** sent people to the gate, and Wang Guangmei also said to the staff who came to see her off: "Please leave it all to you." ”
In this way, Wang Guangmei changed her name and surname and went to the rural areas of various counties and cities in Hebei to participate in the socialist education movement. However, after a while, the husband and wife will receive letters from each other, talking about some experiences at work, and also caring about each other's trivial matters.
**In one letter, he said: "My family and I are very good, I hope you don't have to worry about it." Naturally you can go home once in a month, and that's good. But if you're too busy with work to take a break and come back next month, I can totally understand that. Since a person has already gone to the front line and the battlefield, he must fight this battle well. I have always been like this in the past and now, and I hope you will cherish it. ”
Wang Guangmei quickly replied to ***, and the letter said: "I wanted to go home and see as you said, but the work has entered a tense stage, and it is difficult to withdraw." ”
The two exchanged letters, each busy, and each cared about it.
In 1965, ** was too busy and physically exhausted, and suffered from a severe cold, always having a low-grade fever. He immediately told the staff around him not to make a noise about this little cold, and it didn't have to affect their work.
Later, **'s condition was not good for a long time, and it gradually worsened, and the secretary could only report the situation to *** and hurriedly came to ***'s residence to visit, walked into the bedroom, and was surprised to find that *** was sleeping on the floor.
**Ask the guard on the side: "What's going on?".”
The guard told *** about the cause and effect, and said, "How can this work, why didn't you let the secretary tell me earlier when you were sick?"You have read so many documents in the past few days, how can you get better?You should take good care of your illness, I will make other arrangements for foreign affairs activities, so don't worry about it. ”
** smiled and said: "Thank you, in fact, it is a little fever, and it is not a big problem, it will be fine soon." ”
**Unwilling to disturb his rest, he left the bedroom after saying a few words, and asked the guards outside seriously: "Comrade Shaoqi is sick, have you told Comrade Guangmei, why don't you invite her back?."”
Guard: "Comrade Shaoqi disagrees, for fear of affecting Comrade Guangmei's work. ”
**: Please come back to Comrade Guangmei, and say that I said it. ”
**After leaving, the guard immediately went to fight** and conveyed the matter to Wang Guangmei. After receiving the news, Wang Guangmei hurried back to Beijing overnight in a jeep belonging to the local air force.
The next day, **called again**, asking if Wang Guangmei had come back, I heard that Wang Guangmei was back, and said a few words to Wang Guangmei, instructing: "Comrade Shaoqi is not well, you can't leave him." ”
After a few days of bed rest, coupled with the care of the medical staff and Wang Guangmei, ** finally got better little by little. After that, Wang Guangmei left Beijing and went to the countryside of Hebei to continue working, and only returned to Beijing to work when the social education work was completed.
