In 1950, ** held a banquet in Zhongnanhai to entertain Qiu Ao, a distinguished guest he personally invited to Beijing. When Qiu Ao's car drove into Zhongnanhai, ** was already waiting here, personally opening the door for Qiu Ao and helping him get out of the car.
After Qiu Ao saw ***, he held his hand tightly and said, "Thanks to the chairman's care, I am really flattered by this old man!" * After hearing this, he smiled and said, "Sir, I haven't seen you for many years, why did you forget my name Mao Runzhi?" ”
Qiu Ao laughed when he heard this, and said, "Okay, I'll call you Mao Runzhi in the future." "So, who is Qiu Ao? Why can you win so much respect?
Next, the History and Literature Society will solve the doubts in your heart.
After the end of the First Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1921, ** and He Shuheng returned to Changsha and began to establish the Hunan local organization of the Communist Party of China. In order to raise the theoretical level of the party cadres, they decided to set up a school in Changsha to "automatically learn" Marxism.
However, starting a school is not an easy task, and they face challenges such as funding and location. In this process, ** and He Shuheng remembered Qiu Ao and Chuanshan Society.
Qiu Ao, whose name is Yishan, is a native of Miluo, Hunan, who studied in Japan in his early years, graduated from Meiji University, and is one of the founders of the Alliance. He once assisted Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing and others in overthrowing the Qing Dynasty in the Xinhai Revolution, and later devoted himself to the "overthrow of Yuan and ** activities."
Although he never served as a political dignitary, he enjoyed great prestige and respect in Hunan with his deep qualifications, profound knowledge, and open-mindedness. The Chuanshan Society, located in the eastern district of Changsha City, is a good place for people to study and study.
Every week, Qiu Ao, the president of the Chuanshan Institute, will give regular lectures on Chuanshan academics to promote Mr. Chuanshan's national thoughts. Therefore, ** and He Shuheng decided to ask Qiu Ao and Chuanshan Institute for help.
They hope that through Qiu Ao's connections and influence, as well as the teaching resources of the Chuanshan Society, they can solve the difficulties of running the school and selecting the location. At the same time, they also hoped that through Qiu Ao's guidance, the theoretical level of party cadres could be improved, so as to better promote the development of local party organizations in Hunan.
Despite the difficulties, the determination and courage of *** and He Shuheng, as well as their enthusiasm and dedication to the party's cause, enabled them to finally successfully establish the self-study university, which made important contributions to the early development of the Communist Party of China.
Qiu Ao and He Shuheng were members of the Chuanshan Society, and they formed a deep friendship in the society. When he was studying at the First Normal School, he also listened to Qiu Ao's speeches many times and deeply admired him.
In 1920, a person in charge of the Korean anti-Japanese organization came to Changsha for inspection, and He Shuheng and others welcomed the Hunan Marxist Theory Research Society on behalf of the Hunan Marxist Theory Research Association, and invited Qiu Ao to participate in the welcome meeting and invited him to make a speech.
In his speech, Qiu Ao stressed: "We should not regard narrow national revenge as the only way out, but strive for the liberation of oppressed nations all over the world." * expressed deep appreciation for Qiu Ao's speech, saying: "Mr. Qiu's proposition is consistent with the main purpose of our research society. ”
Therefore, he immediately hired Qiu Ao as the instructor of the Marxist Theory Research Society. Soon after, ** and He Shuheng came to the Chuanshan Institute to meet Qiu Ao and put forward the idea of establishing a new type of university.
Qiu Ao agreed with this idea and decided that the Chuanshan Institute would undertake this task and named it "Hunan Self-Study University". Qiu Ao served as the principal, while *** drafted the founding manifesto and organizational regulations.
Part of the house and the monthly fund of 400 silver dollars of the Funayama Institute were allocated to the self-study university. After that, under the cover of Qiu Ao and the Chuanshan Society, the self-study university became a place for the public activities of the local organizations of the Communist Party of China in Hunan.
** also moved into the Chuanshan Institute to live, and the relationship with Qiu Ao is getting closer and closer. In fact, Qiu Ao's appointment as the president of the self-study university is only an honorary title, and the main affairs of the school are in charge of *** and others.
Most of the school's students were progressive intellectuals, young workers, and party backbones, who, together with *** and others, studied at self-study universities, and also participated in the workers' movement in Changsha and other places.
New copywriting: Every night, ** and others will come to Qiu Ao's residence to study and work together and exchange information about each other. Qiu Ao's wife was a native of the countryside and was hospitable, always treating them with Miluo's characteristic ginger, salt, sesame and bean tea.
This kind of tea is salty, sweet and spicy, which can not only relieve dampness and fatigue, but also soothe the stomach and refresh the mind, and is deeply loved by ***. He could drink five or six bowls at a time. In addition to drinking tea, ** and others will also drink alcohol.
They drank home-brewed grain wine given by relatives and friends in Qiu Ao's hometown. This grain wine is mellow and not top-notch, and although *** himself doesn't like to drink much, he can still drink a glass or two.
** once said to Qiu Ao: "Your ginger salt tea in Miluo can ** cold and flu; Your wine is better than 'white sand liquid', and you should give it a proper name.
In ancient times, there was a good wine called 'Jiannanchun', and I think your Miluo Valley wine is called 'Miluo Chun', which is a very appropriate name. Soon after, the university established a library, founded theoretical journals, and added cram schools for workers and peasants, making the school more and more prosperous.
When the school was short of funds, Qiu Ao raised funds from all walks of life in the name of "revitalizing society and culture". The self-study university became the earliest party school in China, and played an important role in disseminating Marxism and improving the theoretical level of the university.
At the end of 1922, Qiu Ao resigned as the president of the Chuanshan Institute and the president of the Self-Study University, and handed over all affairs to *** and others. The following year, he went on an expedition to Europe and the United States.
He Shuheng took over as the president of the Chuanshan Institute, while Li Da took over as the president of the Self-Study University.
The establishment of the Funayama Institute Self-Study University played a role in promoting the establishment of the revolutionary united front. Qiu Ao made great achievements in the establishment of the self-study university and the development of Xiangjiang School.
As the head of the Kuomintang party affairs in Hunan, he vigorously promoted the Soviet experience and promoted the development of KMT-CCP cooperation in Hunan. As a result, the reputation of Xiangjiang School has also been enhanced, and it has received strong support from the Department of Education.
The teaching methods of self-study universities have also influenced the educational activities of ***. In 1948, ** instructed the Hunan underground party organization to contact Qiu Ao to discuss matters related to the peaceful liberation of Hunan, and Qiu Ao responded positively and expressed his full support.
Qiu Ao analyzed the situation in Hunan and put forward suggestions for plotting against Bai Chongxi or persuading Cheng Qian to cross Hunan peacefully. He believed that if Zhang Shizhao could be convinced, the plan could succeed.
Yu Zhihong said that he would report this suggestion to the CCP and Qiu Ao, and had already started to do Cheng Qian's work, and persuaded him to think about the people of Hunan and take the road of peaceful liberation.
Since Cheng Qian was listed as a war criminal, the Hunan Working Committee asked Qiu Ao to do his ideological work to stabilize the situation. Qiu Ao expressed his willingness to convey the CCP's sincerity to Cheng Qian, and successfully alleviated his anxiety.
When Cheng Qian saw that he was listed as a war criminal, Qiu Ao explained this phenomenon with the principle of courtesy.
Cheng Qian and Qiu Ao planned the Hunan Peace Promotion Association, hoping to keep one side safe. When Cheng Qian went to Nanjing to find Li Zongren, he had to take time to find Zhang Shizhao and listen to his reply. Cheng Qian agreed to follow the eight conditions of the peace talks put forward by the Communist Party, and secretly contacted the underground party.
Cheng Qian thought that it was a good idea to borrow troops from Bai Chongxi, and at the same time understood the reason why Tan Yanmin and Song Jiaoren reused Qiu Ao. At the critical moment of the peaceful liberation of Hunan, Cheng Qian went to Shaoyang, where Chen Mingren ** Chairman of Hunan Province.
Although this news made people panic, Qiu Ao sat in the living room and explained in a calm tone: Chairman Cheng had to go to inspect Shaoyang, and he Qiu Yishan would stay in Changsha and live peacefully with Hunan.
Qiu Ao sat in Changsha, ensured the safety of the bridge to welcome the People's Liberation Army into the city, refused the persuasion of the Gui army to go to Taiwan, presided over the "National **" to release the Hunan Peaceful Uprising telegram, and laughed at the banquet with Xiao Jinguang about the peaceful liberation of Changsha, and was invited to participate in the new CPPCC meeting but was unable to go due to illness.
1.On November 17, 1949, ** sent a sincere invitation to Qiu Ao by telegram, welcoming him to Beijing and expressing the hope that he would provide advice and suggestions for China's construction.
With the encouragement and support of ***, Qiu Ao moved to Beijing with his family in early 1950 and was warmly received by *** in Zhongnanhai. 2.When *** learned that Qiu Ao was about to come to Beijing, he immediately sent his secretary Tian Jiaying to the train station to greet him and arrange for him to stay in the Beijing Hotel.
Soon after, ** held a banquet in Zhongnanhai to entertain Qiu Ao and wash the dust for him. When Qiu Ao came to Zhongnanhai by car, ** personally stepped forward to greet him and helped him get out of the car.
Qiu Ao was very happy to see ***, and he said that he felt very honored. 3.At the banquet, ** had an in-depth conversation with Qiu Ao, and they discussed the future development and construction of China.
During the conversation, ** expressed his respect and gratitude to Qiu Ao, he said: "Sir, I am very grateful that you can come to Beijing and provide assistance for China's construction.
You are a true wise man and leader, and I am honored to speak with you. Qiu Ao was also very moved when he heard this, and he replied, "I am also very honored to talk to you, Chairman.
I am inspired by your wisdom and leadership. ” 4.After the banquet, Lin Boqu and others invited *** to take a seat, but he insisted on letting Qiu Ao take a seat, expressing his respect and gratitude to Qiu Ao.
This move made Qiu Ao feel very moved, and he felt very honored and grateful. He deeply felt that ** was a true leader and wise man, and his words and deeds were full of respect and humility, which he deserved to learn and emulate.
In the early years, when the revolution broke out in Changsha, Mr. Yishan was our patron and made great contributions to the revolutionary cause of our party. At that time, he raised thousands of oceans for us, and this money played a key role in our revolutionary cause.
Friends who have done good deeds to us, we should always remember them. Qiu Ao waved his hand modestly and said, "Runzhi has won the award, I just did my best." ”
Haha laughed, did not continue, but raised the wine glass, and said to Qiu Ao: "Then I will toast you with a glass of wine." Qiu Ao nodded, picked up the wine glass, and said, "I must drink this glass of wine." ”
In addition, ** also invited Qiu Ao to live in Beijing and serve as a special member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Qiu Ao was deeply moved by ***'s thoughtfulness and readily agreed.
** He attached great importance to Qiu Ao's suggestion, met him at the Juxiang Book House in Zhongnanhai, and listened to his opinion on the issue of sending troops. Although Qiu Ao believed that China's economic strength was weak at that time, the enemy's strength was strong, and it was more necessary to strictly guard the border, but *** insisted that troops must be sent and explained to him in detail the strategic considerations.
In the face of ***'s insistence, Qiu Ao still expressed his admiration and proposed that volunteer officers and soldiers could be sent to help. ** was very interested in the title of "Volunteer Army", and published a report on "People**" about "Volunteers Resisting US Aggression and Aiding Korea, Defending the Home and Defending the Country", which made Qiu Ao very emotional.
Qiu Ao: Advice and bluntness to *** won the respect of the Communists In 1951, when the CCP was about to celebrate its 30th anniversary, Qiu Ao wrote a letter of thousands of words to ***.
This letter has two outstanding features: First, Qiu Ao realized more than 40 years ago that the Communist Party needed to keep a clear head and revolutionary character after taking power in order to avoid corruption.
Second, the language is straightforward, and there are no eulogies or flattery in this letter, only advice and outspoken advice to the party. After receiving this letter, ** not only did not feel unhappy, but highly appreciated Qiu Ao's outspokenness.
He replied: "What the Communist Party needs is a friend like you!" In 1956, Qiu Ao and his wife Liu Zhuangxian celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary, and they invited friends and relatives in Beijing to gather together and take a group photo.
Zhang Shizhao later mentioned this matter to ***, and said affectionately: "Married for 60 years, this is rare in the world, and it is worth celebrating!" Qiu Lao's wife was virtuous and kind, and she also gave us bean tea and grain wine back then, which tasted very good, and I still remember it! ”
Soon after, ** asked people to prepare two boxes of Junshan Maojian, two bottles of Moutai Laojiao and two Korean ginseng as congratulatory gifts to Qiu Ao and his wife. Qiu Ao's outspoken words and suggestions reflected his loyalty and love for the party.
His deeds won the respect of the Communists.
Before the Duanyang Festival in 1957, Qiu Ao suddenly felt severe pain in his chest, difficulty breathing, and was in critical condition. Li Weihan reported the situation to ***, saying that the doctor recommended surgery**.
**After listening to this, he pondered for a moment, because Qiu Ao was old at this time, and he had had half of his lung removed due to lung cancer ten years ago, and he was worried that the operation would bring Qiu Ao more pain.
However, Qiu Ao insisted that only surgery could save him, and that there might be a glimmer of life for surgery. Seeing Qiu Ao's resolute attitude, he asked Li Weihan and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) to be responsible for setting up an operating team headed by Huang Jiasi, president of Beijing Chest Hospital, and carefully formulating an operation plan.
Huang Jiasi was Qiu Ao's previous doctor, he was the one who removed half of Qiu Ao's lungs at the beginning, and now he is the main surgeon for Qiu Ao's right chest surgery again, successfully releasing a large amount of pus and blood, Qiu Ao's condition was cured.
After the operation, ** personally went to the hospital to visit Qiu Ao, sent bird's nest, white fungus and other high-end supplements, and specially approved Qiu Ao's monthly living allowance of 300 yuan, telling him to take good care of his body.
One day, when ** passed by Qiu Ao's residence, he deliberately asked the driver to stop and go in to visit the old man. When he saw that Qiu Ao's body had recovered, he felt very relieved.
Subsequently, he asked the staff to take a photo of him and Qiu Ao to capture this unforgettable moment.
At that special moment, ** took out a rattan chair from the living room, carefully helped Qiu Ao to sit on it, and stood behind the old man. It didn't take long for ** to write an inscription and send someone to give this precious ** to Qiu Ao.
Qiu Ao regards it as a treasure, hangs ** in the middle of the living room, every time a guest visits, he will enthusiastically introduce them to the story behind **. In the autumn of 1965, ** came to Qiu Ao's home again, and they reviewed the past friendship and experience together, as well as the international and domestic situation at that time, as well as the expectations for the reunification of the motherland.
However, this kind old man left us on February 9, 1970, at the age of 92. His life, like his **, is full of preciousness and memories.
