Spring Festival is one of the most important festivals for Chinese, where family and friends gather together to leave behind the worries and sorrows of the year. So, how did the great leader*** get through this momentous day?

Let's find out.

1.*The simple way of passing the New Year was recalled by Mao Shangyuan:"The President's year has been very simple. He has very little time for entertainment, and the most time is chatting with others, and the Chinese New Year is no different from usual for him. "

Zhang Baochang recalled when he was a stove manager in Zhongnanhai: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year in 1957, ** only ate a bowl of minced meat noodles. ” 2.*When I was a child, I spent the Spring Festival with my family, and later went out to study and spent it with my classmates and friends.

The earliest record of the Spring Festival was after he arrived in Jinggangshan. In 1927, he led his troops to Jinggangshan and established the first rural revolutionary base area.

1.During the Spring Festival of that year, the chairman gave the troops a three-day holiday, and each person gave three silver dollars as the cost of New Year's goods, killing pigs and dividing meat, so that the Red Army soldiers could spend a happy Spring Festival.

But in the Spring Festival of 1929, the rear of the Red Army was closely pursued by two regiments of the Kuomintang Liu Shiyi's department.

So the chairman of the leading army decided to let the soldiers have a New Year's meal no matter what. 2.In that harsh environment, the meat of the New Year was a luxury.

However, in the Spring Festival of 1929, in the face of the pursuit of the Kuomintang, Chairman *** still decided to let the Red Army soldiers have a New Year's meal. The Red Army units were dressed in single clothes and exhausted, but under the leadership of Chairman *** they found a village where they could take shelter temporarily.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Chairman ** decided to let the soldiers have a New Year's meal no matter what. 3.In the Spring Festival of 1929, the rear of the Red Army was closely pursued by two regiments of the Kuomintang Liu Shiyi's department.

But the leader of the **** chairman decided that no matter what, the soldiers should have a New Year's meal. Although the situation was grim, Chairman *** always cared about the soldiers, and his spirit touched the soldiers of the Red Army and allowed them to find hope in the midst of difficulties.

Grandpa Mao found ** and shared an idea with him, ** pondered for a moment after listening, and then nodded in agreement. Grandpa Mao smiled with satisfaction and asked the guards to find Fan Shude, the quartermaster of the department, who told Fan Shude that he had an important task: he must find a way to prepare a hearty Chinese New Year's Eve meal for the soldiers.

In such a grim situation, it was already quite difficult to ensure the food and clothing of the soldiers, let alone find good ingredients. However, hearing Grandpa Mao's order, Fan Shude did not feel pressure, but seemed very excited, he said: "I will definitely complete the task." ”

Fan Shude had planned to borrow ingredients from the villagers, but he did not find them. It turned out that the reputation of the Red Army was not good due to the slander of the Kuomintang, and when they arrived at the village, the villagers heard that the army was coming, and they were so frightened that they ran up the mountain, and they did not even take with them what they needed for the New Year.

The Red Army units were disciplined and would not take the things of the masses for nothing, but they did not have the funds at the moment, so Van Shude decided to make an IOU. He collected the food of the villagers in a company or unit, calculated it according to the market **, and then left a note for each villager, promising that he would pay it back when the Red Army returned.

New Copywriting: After a busy morning, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the Red Army soldiers finally had a delicious New Year's dinner, enjoying food and wine, and were satisfied.

Before the meal, Chairman ** made a speech, in which he encouraged the soldiers: "When you are full, you have the strength to beat Liu Shiyi." The fighters raised their bowls and responded in unison: "Good! ”

A sumptuous New Year's meal not only filled the stomachs of the soldiers, but also boosted their morale. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Shiyi's tribe entered the ambush circle carefully arranged by the Red Army and was defeated, and more than 800 officers and soldiers became prisoners of the Red Army.

In May of this year, the Red Fourth Army returned to Dabaidi and returned to this place again, and the soldiers recalled the unforgettable Spring Festival, and naturally remembered the arrears. As a result, the Red Army fulfilled its promise and paid off all the arrears without missing a cent.

In a crucial battle, the Red Army won the trust and support of the people by virtue of its trustworthiness, and since then changed their image in the hearts of the people. And after they stabilized in the Soviet areas, they created revolutionary base areas and became the guardians of the people.

However, the road to revolution was not smooth, and the political path of the first was also hindered. During this period, he spent a rare and leisurely year with his family, especially the moment when he frolicked with his son on Chinese New Year's Eve, which is particularly nostalgic.

However, this good time did not last long, because the Red Army's fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" failed, and the troops had to change their strategy and carry out a 25,000-mile long march, during which Mao Mao's whereabouts were unknown.

Nevertheless, this experience still demonstrated the tenacity and courage of the Red Army, and strengthened our belief that if we keep our faith, we can overcome all difficulties.

In 1935, ** re-established its leadership position in the army at the Zunyi Conference. On February 4, during the Spring Festival, the logistics department prepared braised pork and chili peppers for him, but *** chose to share these delicacies with the wounded and used his own living expenses to improve the lives of the soldiers.

After the end of the Long March, the Red Army settled in Yan'an, and although the Kuomintang was still targeting the Red Army, the situation was no longer as dire as before. During the Spring Festival, various activities will be carried out, such as group worship, dance parties, performances and Yangge twisting.

During the Spring Festival in 1941, the ** agency set up a stage in Xibaipo, which was staged for several nights in a row, and even the nearby villagers also came**.

On one of those nights, **come too**. He found the cadres sitting on the benches in front of him, while the villagers were standing in the back. So, he said to the cadres: "The villagers are usually very busy, and there are few opportunities to watch the play, so let them sit in the front!" ”

After speaking, ** sat at the back, and the cadres followed closely, and the villagers were very moved by this.

During the Spring Festival, while welcoming Stalin's special envoy Mikoyan and his entourage, the chairman also put forward a plan for the future of the country. He used the metaphor of home to vividly depict the current state of China: the mess in the home and the hidden insects and dust.

**The chairman said that we need to put things in order first and wait for the environment at home to improve before welcoming guests. This shows that during the Spring Festival before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the chairman has always adhered to his love for the country and his expectations for the future.

In order to warmly welcome the Soviet representatives, ** and his logistics team prepared rich meals. Knowing that the Soviets liked to drink, they specially prepared excellent Fenjiu and wine.

In addition, the Soviet representatives brought various things, such as canned food, food and wine, so that the table was filled with all kinds of delicacies. The Soviet representative was dressed in a very foreign style, while *** was wearing a patched sweater.

Although the People's Liberation Army does not have high-end ingredients, in order not to treat the guests badly, the kitchen caught its own chickens and pigs, and also caught a few fish from the Hutuo River to make braised fish and slippery fish fillet.

According to Li Yinqiao's recollections, the Soviet delegates drank an astonishing amount of alcohol, and Mikoyan drank Fenjiu like boiled water, and he could drink half a cup in one go. And *** blushed when he was drunk, ** didn't drink because of laryngitis, Ren Bi didn't drink because of high blood pressure, ** only drank a little wine with a small cup, and *** is the biggest drinker among the leaders, but no Mikoyan can drink.

During the last Spring Festival before the founding of the People's Republic of China, ** warmly entertained the representatives of the Soviet Union in Xibaipo and shared China's unique cultural specialties. He also came to Mikoyan's residence to see him off, and introduced his vision and clever strategy to Shizhe.

**In October of this year, standing on the Tiananmen Tower, the founding of the People's Republic of China was announced. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the first record of the Spring Festival was in 1952, when he went south to Wuhan, traveled to Turtle Mountain and Snake Mountain, climbed the Yellow Crane Tower, and spent an unforgettable Spring Festival.

It's really a Yellow Crane Tower that can't be lowered. "This incident not only reminded the staff, but also made *** aware of the hard work of the staff.

**Recall, every Spring Festival,** always think about the staff around me. No matter how busy he is, he will personally visit them. During the Spring Festival, most of the time is spent in meetings.

According to Zhang Baochang, the administrator of Zhongnanhai Stove at that time, on the first day of the Lunar New Year in 1957, ** only ate a bowl of minced meat noodles. On the same day, he held a symposium at the Zhongnanhai Yi Nian Hall, inviting more than 40 non-party personalities to attend.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the participants arrived on time, ** smiled and said to everyone: "Today is the Spring Festival, I will temporarily invite everyone to come to the meeting, I haven't eaten breakfast yet." Then let's have a bowl of minced meat noodles first, and then we have a meeting. ”

The core idea of the new copywriting is: ** Care about the staff around you during the Spring Festival, even if it is a busy Spring Festival, you will personally visit them, and spend most of your time in meetings during the Spring Festival.

He even held an impromptu symposium during the Spring Festival, invited people from outside the party to attend, and personally invited everyone to breakfast before the meeting began.

In the Yi Nian Hall, ** and Pu Yi spent a happy Spring Festival together. The chairman entertained the invitees in a simple and trouble-free manner, and the scene was warm.

It is said that ** also often holds meetings in the evenings of the Yi Nian Hall, and in order to save time, he will eat a bowl of minced meat noodles to fill his stomach. When the time is too long and the energy is exhausted, he will say, "It's time to eat minced meat noodles." ”

Then, the leaders will each pick up a bowl of noodles, eat it naturally, and then either continue the discussion or go home. In the Spring Festival of 1962, ** invited Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and invited Zhang Shizhao, Cheng Qian, Qiu Ao and Wang Xiaofan to accompany him.

Before the banquet began, Zhang Shizhao and the others didn't know that Pu Yi would come, and it wasn't until they took their seats that ** said mysteriously: "I invite you to come today, I want to accompany a guest." ”

Zhang Shizhao looked around, surprised and curious: "Chairman, who is the guest?" * smiled mysteriously and said, "This guest is extraordinary, you all know him, and when he comes, you will know."

Speaking of which, he's still your top boss! "This year's Spring Festival, everyone had an unforgettable time, and it also deepened the friendship and connection between them.

At a banquet in the Yi Nian Hall, everyone wondered about the identity of a thin guest in his 50s. At this time, Pu Yi walked into the room under the guidance of the staff.

** stepped forward to shake hands with him, pulled him to his side, and said in a thick Shaoshan accent: "You know, Emperor Xuantong, we were all his subjects before, what is it that is not the top boss?" ”

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized and laughed. **Introduced Pu Yi to the people present, and every time one was introduced, Pu Yi would stand up and salute, and there was no shelf at all.

Although there are only a few plates of chili peppers, bitter gourd, rice, and steamed buns on the table, and the wine drunk is the best treasured wine, the chairman said: "Our Hunan people's favorite food is chili." ”

As he spoke, he gave Pu Yi another chopsticks and fried bitter gourd with chili peppers. Pu Yi took a bite and felt that his tongue was on fire, but he still replied with great effort: "It's delicious, it's good." ”

At a dinner, the chairman made witty remarks that made everyone smile. In a relaxed and happy atmosphere, the chairman suddenly turned to Pu Yi's marriage and asked him with concern if he already had a partner.

Pu Yi replied that he was not married, and the chairman earnestly advised him to be cautious about marriage and find a suitable person, because it is related to the life and family establishment in the second half of his life.

Pu Yi was deeply touched by the chairman's care. After the meal, everyone took a group photo, Pu Yi stood to the left of the chairman, but the chairman pulled him to his right and said, "You are a guest, you should stand on the right." ”

Pu Yi was deeply admired by the chairman's care and concern.

In the Spring Festival of 1963, ** said to Zhang Hanzhi with a smile: "I still owe your father a debt!" Zhang Hanzhi went home puzzled and asked his father. After hearing this, Zhang Shizhao smiled and said: "If the chairman owes me, it should be that I owe the chairman."

At that time, the chairman was preparing for the founding of the party and was going to Europe to work and study, but due to financial constraints, the chairman could only ask me for help. When I learned about it, I immediately raised more than 20,000 silver dollars from the Shanghai industrial and commercial circles and handed them over to the chairman.

Then the chairman used this money partly to support the work-study comrades, and partly for revolutionary activities. ”

** This story with Zhang Shizhao is very emotional. ** Always remembered Zhang Shizhao's help to the Communist Party, and decided to use his manuscript fee to give Zhang Shizhao some living allowance.

Every Spring Festival, ** will send 2,000 yuan, hoping to pay off this nearly 50-year debt within ten years. However, Zhang Shizhao insisted on not accepting the money, believing that it was raised by him and not his own.

However, ** insisted on paying off the debt, saying, "I have to pay off the debt I owe anyway." This story tells us that not forgetting history and being grateful for the reward is the spirit that each of us should learn.

Since 1963, ** has sent 2,000 yuan to Zhang Shizhao on the second day of the Lunar New Year every year until it is repaid in 1972. By 1973, ** began to send money again, saying that it was to repay the interest for 50 years, but in fact it was to give him a subsidy.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Spring Festival of 1976, which was also the last Spring Festival in ***'s life. This Chinese New Year's Eve was supposed to be lively, but *** had only a few staff around and no one else.

According to Zhang Yufeng, the confidential secretary of ***, ***'s physical condition was very bad at that time, and she fed the meals spoonful by spoonful. Leaning back on the bed as usual, he ate some of his favorite Wuchang fish and rice, then got out of bed and walked around, and sat back on the sofa for a long time.

Just when the living room was so quiet that they could only hear the ticking of the clock, they faintly heard the sound of firecrackers outside. Suddenly, ** said to Zhang Yufeng: "Set off firecrackers, you young people should also celebrate the festival." ”

The bright light outside the window and a few loud noises attracted ***'s attention, and he still sat there, quietly looking out the window, listening to the sounds, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
