At 3 p.m. on September 9, 1976, the ** radio and television station issued a notice informing that there was an important broadcast at 4 p.m. And when the news of ***'s death was announced on the radio, the whole of China fell into deep sorrow.
In this 9.6 million square kilometers of China, 900 million Chinese compatriots are weeping and crying for ***, standing in silence.
In 1976, **'s physical condition was good and bad, and the fluctuations of his condition made his emotions fluctuate like a tide. Sometimes you become very irritable and easily vent your emotions to those around you.
However, Meng Jinyun, who has been in contact with him for a long time, gradually learned about his habits. She knew that this was a sign of *** irritability, but after a while, he would regain his composure and apologize to the staff after every outburst.
During this time, ** was more in contemplation, which even Meng Jinyun, who had never been sensitive, was aware of. On this day, ** leaned back on the couch in contemplation as usual, the thumb of his right hand was still flicking his index finger.
Meng Jinyun, who couldn't hide something in his heart, couldn't help but quietly walked to ***'s side and asked softly: "Chairman, what's wrong with you during this time?" Feeling unwell or have something on your mind? ”
Hearing Meng Jinyun's words, he slowly opened his closed eyes and said with a wry smile: "If you want to say it's uncomfortable, it's uncomfortable every day during this time." But there are other reasons, there are many things, and they are all involuntary......Looking into the distance, it seems that I am caught up in the memories of the past.
Sugar cane is not sweet at both ends, and there is no such thing as the best of both worlds. * After being silent for a while, he said to Meng Jinyun: "Do you know why I keep reminiscing about the past recently? ”
Meng Jinyun guessed: "Is it because you have encountered difficulties in reality, so you seek comfort by reminiscing about the good times of the past?" * smiled, "You Mengfuzi, you are right, I have always advocated looking forward, but recently I have found myself always reminiscing about the past, which also makes me feel strange.
But you don't have to worry, I know what I need to do to make life better. When Meng Jinyun heard this, he was much more relieved, "Chairman, I heard that only people who are not happy in real life will constantly recall the past.
You're the chairman, so there's nothing that makes you unhappy, right? * smiled, "You Mengfuzi, you are really a clever ghost. It's true that there is nothing about me that really makes me unhappy, but physical health is the most important thing for me.
Although I don't like taking pills and injections, I know that it helps my body a lot. So I decided to listen to the doctor, take medicine and injections well, and I believe that I will soon be able to recover my health. ”
Meng Jinyun said frankly: "You are the chairman, you can do whatever you want, and you can go wherever you want." You decided a few days ago to make Comrade *** the prime minister, you didn't discuss it with anyone, you only lay in bed for two days before deciding.
You can decide for yourself something so big, what else can stump you? * Infected by Meng Jinyun's frankness, he couldn't help but laugh. Seeing that the chairman showed a long-lost smile, Meng Jinyun also smiled.
On July 6, 1976, his old comrade-in-arms and highly respected ** died in Beijing at the age of 90. Hearing the news, ** was very sad, but he endured the pain and instructed the staff to handle the aftermath of **.
On July 9th and 11th, a condolence ceremony was held in Beijing for Mr. Zhu, and wreaths were sent. This is exactly the silent will he left to ***.
** and *** jointly congratulated the 15th anniversary of the signing of the Sino-DPRK Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance, which became the last foreign message sent in the name of ***. However, at this important moment, a rare catastrophe suddenly struck - in the early morning of July 28, 7Level 8**, causing huge damage.
At that time, Zhongnanhai suddenly trembled, the glass on the doors and windows of the hall where ** lived kept ringing, and the chairman's sickbed shook even more. Wang Dongxing, Zhang Yufeng and others, who were guarding the door, realized that there might be a big **, and immediately rushed to the bedroom of ***.
**At this time, he was half-lying on the bed in his pajamas, although he felt**, but he did not panic, but remained calm. He knew that it had happened, but because it was difficult to speak, he just waved his hand and signaled everyone not to panic.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Xiao Zhou! Chairman's head! When Zhou Fuming heard the shout, he immediately used his body to protect ***'s head to prevent things from falling from the ceiling from hitting him.
In order to protect the safety of ***, Wang Dongxing said to him: "Chairman, this is like **, I'll go and find out the situation." Don't be in a hurry. ”
After the Tangshan Da**, in order to ensure the safety of the ***, it was decided to move it to an earthquake-proof house. Despite waking up unfamiliar with his surroundings, *** explained the reason for the transfer and persuaded the chair to accept.
During the ** period, the chairman was in a semi-coma most of the time, but as long as he was awake, he would pay attention to the situation in Tangshan as soon as possible. Despite the deterioration of the situation, the day before his death, the chairman also looked at the document 11 times from his hospital bed, which lasted for 2 hours and 50 minutes.
Documents and books were read by the staff in their hands, as the Chairman's situation was not good enough. Although the president has passed away, his tenacity and concern for the country will always remain in people's hearts.
On September 9, 1976, the great man passed away at the age of 83. Before the death of this leader who had saved the revolution and saved the party and had far-reaching influence, he had left a silent will to ***
At that time, the members of the Politburo came to the bedside of *** one after another to say their final goodbyes to him. When *** stood in front of ***, although *** had closed his eyes, he suddenly opened his eyes and beckoned gently.
However, ** was too sad to see the move. Fortunately, ** saw this scene, and she hurried to ***'s lounge and told him that the chairman called him over.
**Return to the ward immediately and lean over to listen to ***'s last will. However, **'s physical condition was so bad that he couldn't speak. **With tears in his eyes, he held his hand tightly, and his heart was full of complicated emotions.
Finally, ** gently moved his fingers on the back of ***'s hand a few times, and then closed his eyes again. ** Lost in thought after leaving the room, he didn't understand what *** wanted to say to him or what the movements of his hands meant.
It wasn't until October 6, after ***'s death, that an incident happened that made him understand instantly.
**Excuse the eulogy,** should follow the will of the chairman*** after his death, **convene an emergency meeting to discuss the aftermath. At the meeting, everyone unanimously agreed to keep the remains of *** for people from all over the world to mourn and pay respects.
On the afternoon of September 16, another meeting was held to discuss the eulogy and the candidates for the eulogy. After discussion, the key question was raised: "Who should deliver the eulogy?" At this time, ** spoke: "I think Comrade *** should give a eulogy, he is the most suitable person." ”
However, ** rejected the proposal and said: "Ye Shuai, you are highly respected and the best choice to deliver a eulogy." * resolutely refused, and emphasized: "Comrade *, this is the wish of the chairman during his lifetime, and it is up to you to deliver the eulogy, and as the first vice chairman, you have a great responsibility. ”
I am a military cadre, mainly engaged in military work, and I am not familiar with these. Let's let Comrade *** take this position! Then, **strongly recommended *** to serve as ** chairman and chairman of the Military Commission, ** immediately agreed to his suggestion.
**Eulogy***After assuming the chairmanship, many places began to vigorously promote him, and he was very unhappy about it. He stressed many times: "We should publicize more of the deeds of the first generation, as well as the contributions and roles of the older generation of revolutionaries." ”
When the image of *** and *** appeared in various places, he repeatedly expressed his opposition and said: "My image should not be hung, ** will always be our great leader, no one can do it."
You can't hang my image side by side with his. "In my daily work, I always treat him with a modest and cautious attitude, and I will consult him and discuss with him when there is a major event.
When convening a meeting of the Politburo, he always supported *** and arranged *** and others in front; On important meeting occasions, he always invites *** and others to the front.
For all the work and major decisions of the world, he will consult and respect the opinions of leaders such as the first.
**: Although he retired from the leadership position, he still pays attention to the development of the country and the people's life. On August 20, 2008, the great leader died of illness at the age of 87.
