The only time the chairman inspected Heilongjiang, he once again encountered the phenomenon of pursuing food and drink, arrogance, and detachment from the masses. In this regard, he bitterly criticized this practice and stressed that it is necessary to continue to implement the spirit of the Second Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee and not forget the original intention.
He warned everyone not to learn from Li Zicheng, but to learn from Liu Zongmin, and always maintain close ties with the masses.
The Annals record that on December 21, 1949, the 70th birthday of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, the chairman led a delegation to Moscow to celebrate his birthday, exchange views on issues of concern to the two parties, discuss and sign relevant treaties and agreements.
This was the first foreign visit by President ** since the founding of the People's Republic of China, which had a far-reaching impact on Sino-Soviet relations. Among them, the signing of the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance became an important milestone in the development of Sino-Soviet relations.
** The Chairman arrived in Moscow on December 18, 1949, and held his first talks with Stalin, leading up to the signing of the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Mutual Assistance, and Alliance on February 14, 1950.
During this time, he stayed for a total of two months. The signing of this treaty was only possible after several rounds of negotiations and the resolution of differences.
February 17 is the traditional Chinese New Year. ** The chairman concluded his visit to the Soviet Union and boarded the Soviet train at 10:30 p.m. Moscow time to begin his journey home.
In order to get a deeper understanding of the actual situation, ** decided to make a short stop along the northeast route and inspect the industrial base of the northeast along the way. The purpose of this field trip is to conduct a comparative study, identify gaps, and formulate clear goals to strive for based on the actual situation.
**The first stop in the Northeast is Harbin.
On February 20, ** came to Heilongjiang for the first time. He drove through Crescent Street, Red Army Street, and Post Street, and came to a beautiful European-style building - now No. 1 Summer Garden Street.
This building was built in 1919 and has become a representative of Harbin's European architecture with its solemn and upright appearance and gorgeous interior decoration. In the three-story building, ** lives in a suite on the second floor, one of which has a European-style large iron bed and chairs, and the other room has an oval table, and the furniture is European-style.
Here he visited the Harbin General Factory of the China Eastern Railway, wrote an inscription to the provincial party committee: "study," "struggle," and "do not be tainted with bureaucratic style," inscribed the municipal party committee: "develop production," inscribed the second municipal Youth League Congress: "study Marxism-Leninism," and wrote a masthead for Songjiang.
In Harbin, ** was dissatisfied with the feast carefully prepared by the leaders of Songjiang Province and Harbin City. Although there are foreign guests present, they say that our country is still very poor, and we can't waste it, and we can't make big fish and meat, delicacies from the mountains and seas, and we only need to eat rice and vegetables.
The next day, ** criticized the accompanying leaders in Changchun, because when *** got off the train, he found that there was no one in the huge city. The escort panicked and said that the citizens were having lunch, but *** was very unhappy after hearing this, and he said that the army and the people should eat at the same time.
In Shenyang, ** was even more angry at the extravagant reception banquet, saying that the people's servants should serve the people, not eat the people's money, and eating and drinking will have a bad impact on the people, and they must not do so.
From this inspection of the Northeast, we obtained first-hand information about some undesirable phenomena and the rise of bad practices in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and decided to convene a meeting of leading cadres of the Northeast Bureau, Liaoning Province, and Shenyang City here.
This table bears witness to the historical moment of the inscription in Harbin and has a special significance.
At the Harbin Housing Conference, ** spoke first, once again emphasizing the importance of thrift and thrift. He said: "The purpose of our trip is mainly to understand the work situation and local industrial production in the northeast, but we found that there is serious waste.
I had suggested in Harbin not to eat and drink, but I saw worse in Shenyang. We're not here for enjoyment, and I'm worried about your wasteful behavior.
You should follow Liu Zongmin's example, not imitate Li Zicheng. **It has been emphasized many times to be modest and prudent, guard against arrogance and rashness, and play an exemplary role in hard work.
We must keep in mind the spirit of the Second Plenum and continue to improve our behavior.
