"Then I won't be at the memorial service. Could you please help me convey my support for the third request of Comrade ***. ”
1.Why didn't you show up at the memorial service? And what kind of request did *** make in the last period of his life? The intensity and workload of his work are far beyond ordinary people, and even when ordinary people cannot persevere, he has persevered for decades.
During this period, **'s physical condition deteriorated, and he often fell asleep due to exhaustion in meetings, but he always stood and always stuck to his post. 2.Why was *** unable to attend ***'s memorial service?
**What are the requirements for the party and the state at the end of life? The pace of his work and life is very different from that of ordinary people, presiding over meetings in the morning, receiving foreign guests in the afternoon, and reviewing important documents in the evening.
Such work intensity and workload are unbearable for ordinary people, but *** has persisted for decades. Despite growing physical exhaustion and frequent naps in meetings, he always insisted on standing and persevering.
**, no matter when and where, always have the country and the people in mind. Even during breaks, he struggled to fall asleep easily. Even in 1970, when he was diagnosed with cancer, he only took a brief break from work, and returned to work as soon as his health improved slightly.
Even in his hospital bed, he had papers waiting to be processed by his side. In 1974, he suddenly fainted due to the deterioration of his body, which turned out to be due to the fact that he had not changed his way of work and rest after **.
However, even though he was hospitalized**, he slept only four hours a day and received two hours**, and devoted the rest of the time to his work. His firm will and selfless dedication have always reflected his deep love for the country and its people.
I don't have much time left, you need to help me. In 1976, he was suffering from cancer and was in a coma almost two-thirds of the day. It was not until 8 January that he left his beloved country and people forever.
The death of ** plunged the Politburo meeting into a deep atmosphere, and together they drafted the eulogy and decided that Comrade *** would deliver it. However, when everything was arranged, someone asked if *** would also be in attendance.
This question caused the participants to ponder, and they were silent for a while, and then they replied together: "* Although the heart is more than enough, but he once said, 'Fight with the sky, with the earth, with people, the joy is endless'."
Although he and they defeated the old society, Japanese imperialism and American imperialism together, the power of the years was irresistible. ”
At the memorial service, generations of revolutionary predecessors left one after another, and the chairman mourned affectionately until the death of Marshal ** in 1972, which was the last time he attended the memorial service of his old friend.
At that time, the chairman's health was already very bad, and the secretaries advised him not to attend, but he insisted on attending. On the day of the memorial service, the chairman re-read the eulogy, and the longing for his old friend could no longer be suppressed, and he even went out in pajamas and woolen pants, just to express his last respect to the ** marshal.
The memorial service went smoothly, but *** did not have a good rest for a week due to excessive grief. He was not in good health, and on February 12, he went into shock due to pulmonary heart disease.
Fortunately, **, who has been accompanying the chairman, called the doctor in time. After medication and emergency treatment, the doctor pulled the chairman back from the brink of danger, but he had not yet woken up. After about 20 minutes, the chairman slowly opened his eyes and saw the nervous medical staff around him, and he forced a smile and said, "I thought I was asleep." ”
On January 8, 1976, ** died of a heart attack. At that time, ***, who was resting, suddenly learned the bad news, although he was very sad in his heart, he was unable to attend the memorial service because of his poor physical condition.
In fact, ** was unable to withstand more blows due to physical reasons, so he reluctantly nodded and agreed to the advice of the medical staff and could not attend ***'s memorial service.
During this time, the chairman's secretary, Meng Jinyun, has been by his side and given him moral support. Suddenly, however, a note was taped to the chairman's window that read "** has passed away".
This news was undoubtedly a huge blow to the President, who was deeply saddened.
Is he gone? "Ever since *** became critically ill, the chairman has been reviewing critical illness reports, ** plans and rescue plans. Hearing the chairman's question, Meng Jinyun could no longer restrain the pain in his heart, and cried loudly, nodding to the chairman while crying.
After receiving an affirmative reply, ** sighed deeply, then slowly closed his eyes without saying a word. Mr. Zhou's death made *** feel extremely sorry, because he not only lost his closest revolutionary partner, but also lost his best friend.
That deep sense of loss is incomprehensible to ordinary people. At this time, he couldn't help but recall the scene of their first meeting. Friendship In September 1924, at the age of 26, *** ended his study trip in France and returned to the docks in Guangzhou by steamer.
At the invitation of the Whampoa Military Academy, he began a new job. A year later, ***, who was on the run from the warlords, also saw Guangzhou as his hiding place.
Although both of them live in Guangdong, they are too busy to meet. It was not until the Second Congress of the Kuomintang was held in 1926 that fate finally linked the two together.
**As the Minister of the Propaganda Department of the People's Republic of China, he participated in the preparatory work. As a guest, *** was also invited to participate in the meeting. The two confirmed their identities during the meeting and immediately became friends who talked about everything.
**Know*** is one of the founders of the Communist Party of China, **also know*** is the first person to join the Communist Party of China. This encounter became the starting point for a half-century collaboration between the two.
In the process of the establishment of New China, ** is like a guiding light, providing a clear direction for the party's decision-making, ** is his loyal supporter, the two can understand each other without words, a look.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the two of them gave everything for the country and the people in their respective posts. Although they have some differences in the development of the country, they have always supported each other.
**'s physical condition gradually deteriorated after the 913 incident, especially in 1972, when **marshal died, old illness**, and even shock in the hospital bed.
After learning the news, ** immediately drove to the chairman's room despite his own condition. He was supported by the staff and walked step by step to *** He held ***'s hand and called his name again and again.
By 1972, **was diagnosed with cancer, **as if there was already some kind of premonition. He noticed that *** worked more day and night, so he immediately notified *** and others to mobilize the best medical resources to treat ***.
In addition, the staff has just replaced the new sofa for ***, he felt very good after trying to sit down, and immediately said to the staff: "This sofa is very comfortable to sit on, ** has just undergone surgery, it is suitable for him to sit and read the newspaper, give it to him!" ”
In order to ensure the rest of the revolution, the subordinates are often relayed: "Reduce the workload appropriately, read less documents, and the body is the capital of the revolution." "However, the love for the country and the people is irrepressible and the workload is always undiminished.
In 1974, ** his illness worsened and ** was deeply distressed. At this time, ***, who was also suffering from cataracts, still asked the staff to ask about ***'s condition.
At the same time, ***, who is seriously ill but still insists on working, gritted his teeth and persevered, and wrote a reply to ***.
The letter briefly described his illness, mentioning only liver abscess disease contracted during the Long March in 1935, after the Shawo Conference. **During the Long March, he suffered from severe "amoebic dysentery", and although he was cured by medication**, he suffered from pain for a long time.
Despite the relaxed tone of the letter, *** knew that the day of separation from this old friend was approaching, so he asked the hospital to report ***'s physical condition to him at any time.
The friendship between ** and *** is still deep after half a century of wind and rain. However, the day of separation finally came. On the third day of ***'s death, his body was transported to Babaoshan for cremation.
Along the way, countless people spontaneously took to the streets, silently watching the prime minister's hearse slowly pass by. The next day, a meeting of the Politburo was held, in addition to discussing matters related to the memorial service, Ms. Deng Yingchao, the wife of **, also read out the last wish of *** to everyone: no farewell to the body, no memorial service, and no ashes.
**'s last wish, is the respect for life, but also to death calmly, his life, is for the future of China's struggle, his spirit will always inspire us to move forward.
These three matters are of great importance, and everyone is afraid to express their opinions lightly. Only *** and others said that if a memorial service is not held, it is impossible to explain it to the people.
So in the end, everyone agreed and handed over the relevant matters to *** for decision, and at the same time handed over the written eulogy to *** for review. In the afternoon of the same day, Meng Jinyun walked to *** with the eulogy in his hand and read: "Chinese people, the great proletarian revolutionary, the outstanding communist fighter, died of cancer on January 8, 1976, ......When he heard the word "death", tears welled up in his closed eyes.
It was as if it wasn't until this moment that he really realized that *** had left him forever. The *** who walked the revolutionary road with him can no longer see him.
Enlai, did he have any last words? ”
On January 15, 1976, the day of the memorial service, Comrade ** read out the revised eulogy. After the memorial service, Ms. Deng Yingchao boarded the plane with ***'s ashes and sprinkled the ashes into the sky, so that he could forever protect this land he loved so much.
The second month after his death was the Spring Festival, which was a day of reunion for thousands of families, and *** was sitting alone at the table. The two secretaries prepared five Chinese New Year's Eve meals for him, but this year he was unusual, delaying the use of chopsticks, just looking out the window at the deserted courtyard in a daze.
Without the company of ***, this Spring Festival is particularly lonely for him. This year, it is also the last Spring Festival spent by ***, and no one will spend the festival with him in the future.
**One of his wishes is to be able to start from himself and not hold a memorial service, but now that he has passed away, why is everything not practicing his wish?
On September 9, 1976, the Great Leader *** President left us forever. During his lifetime, the President cherished friendship very much, and the Prime Minister also won the love of the people with his gracious personality.
The two trusted each other and created many immortal achievements together, and their revolutionary spirit will forever be engraved in the hearts of every Chinese.
