Gao Zhi, a secretary who has been with *** for ten years, is known as "the little fan brother of **". Since he was a child, he has heard of the name of *** and is determined to dedicate his life to China like ***.
He resolutely gave up his studies, devoted himself to the revolution, and ventured to Yan'an, where he entered the ** Confidential Department and held important positions. When he learned that he could work as a secretary by ***'s side, he was thrilled in his heart.
After ten years as a secretary by ***'s side, they developed a deep friendship. When parting, the two were reluctant and even burst into tears. ** Make a request to Gao Zhi, why is that?
How deep is their friendship? At the time of parting, what request did ** make to Gao Zhi?
Gao Zhi was born in a peasant household in northern Shaanxi, although the family was poor, but his father knew that knowledge changes fate, not only sent him to school, but also encouraged him to follow the Communist Party, only by following the *** farmers can they live a good life.
Gao Zhi was deeply influenced by his father, and was determined to serve the country since he was a child, dreaming of seeing the best side. With the encouragement of Shen Guofan, the principal of the primary school, he was admitted to the Suide Normal School and became a member of the Communist Party of China.
Although he did not finish his studies, Gao Zhi felt that the burden on his body was heavier. He knew that Yan'an lacked talents, so he resolutely embarked on the road to Yan'an, hoping to contribute to the country.
Gao Zhi expressed his determination to leave to the teacher, and the teacher felt sorry for this, because Gao Zhi was a smart, hard-working, and excellent student. Despite the teacher's best to keep him, Gao Zhi still insisted on his decision.
On his way to Yan'an, Gao Zhi encountered many difficulties, and although Chiang Kai-shek had not yet fully revealed his ambitions, he had already blockaded the liberated areas of Yan'an in an attempt to eliminate the Communists.
Seeing that the road to Yan'an could not be passed, Gao Zhi wittily chose to take the mountain road, riding a donkey forward, and the group arrived in Yan'an after 5 days and 5 nights in the mountains. After arriving, Gao Zhi was assigned to work in the ** Confidential Section, responsible for maintaining radio contact with the liberated areas across the country.
The work is complex and requires a high level of vigilance and confidentiality on the part of practitioners. Although the work is tedious, Gao Zhi can see the handwritten letters of the leader, which also includes the authentic handwriting of the leader.
Since he is a novice, he needs to learn relevant knowledge at the beginning, and it is not easy to become a full-fledged member of the confidential section. The colleagues in the Confidential Division come from all over the world, and there is no unified language, and there are many barriers to communication.
The fonts in many of the letters are densely packed and very difficult to understand. Gao Zhi can only adapt to the job by constantly learning, and although the process is long, he is confident in his abilities.
As soon as he stepped into the workplace, his companions quickly adapted to the rhythm, and only Gao Zhi felt unprecedented pressure. But when he knew that these fonts were the handwriting of ***, the shock in his heart was beyond words.
In order to better understand and grasp the true meaning of these dragon flying phoenix dances, Gao Zhi put in more time and energy than others. After a month of hard training, he has become familiar with these true intentions.
One day, between work, Gao Zhi came to relax outside the cave. Suddenly, he saw three people walking down the hill. The woman is tall and beautiful, the child is innocent, and the man is tall, Gao Zhi feels that he is somewhat familiar.
He looked at the *** photo hanging on the wall and confirmed that this man was ***, so he quickly told the other comrades, and after they heard the news, they excitedly ran out to see ***.
When they looked at the Chair, he greeted them warmly. Gao Zhi really wanted to come up and talk to the chairman, but he thought that the chairman was walking with his family and didn't want to disturb them.
So he and the other comrades quietly looked at the chairman, but the chairman soon left. This may be because of the arrangement of fate, or it may be that there was a first encounter, which deepened the fate between them.
In 1947, the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party took a sharp turn for the worse. Our army gradually gained the upper hand, and Chiang Kai-shek, who was in a hurry, sent the main force to attack Yan'an, when our army in Yan'an was only more than 20,000 people, and Chiang Kai-shek sent 230,000 people.
In the process of evacuation, the confidential department and national leaders such as *** advanced and retreated together, in those difficult days, Gao Zhi experienced life and death, more understanding of the meaning of life, and more admiration for ***'s wisdom and courage.
After the founding of New China, there were a lot of affairs to deal with in the country, and a secretary was urgently needed to help, at that time, there was a secretary around him, named Luo Guanglu, but there were too many things, even if Luo Guanglu had three heads and six arms, he couldn't be busy, and after some weighing, the organization decided to add another secretary, and the person who was selected happened to be Gao Zhi.
In 1952, the domestic political situation has been peaceful, Gao Zhi, who misses his family very much, chose to return home to visit his relatives, and when he stepped into the house, he learned about his father's death, knowing his father's death Gao Zhi was very sad, so he knelt in front of his father's grave and told his experience over the years.
Although Gao Zhi's heart was painful due to his father's death, he understood the impermanence and preciousness of life, and strengthened his love and loyalty to the party and the country.
After Gao Zhi's visit to relatives, he devoted himself to a special job, he will become a secretary in Zhongnanhai, where the work is very close to the leader. In 1953, Ye Zilong, director of the Confidential Office of the Communist Party of China, informed Gao Zhi that he would be appointed as the secretary of ***.
The news got most people excited, but Gao Zhi had some concerns. He was worried that his northern Shaanxi accent would make *** unable to understand, which would affect his work. Ye Zilong comforted him, ** has lived in northern Shaanxi for many years, and he will definitely be able to understand the northern Shaanxi dialect.
Despite this, Gao Zhi still had new concerns, he was worried that the chairman was from Hunan, and he might not understand his own words. Ye Zilong explained with a smile that the chairman is a harmonious person, and if you don't understand anything, you can ask at any time.
After Gao Zhi's worries were dispelled, he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night, and decided that he must perform well the next day. The next day, Gao Zhi arrived at the chairman's office on time, but because the chairman was busy with affairs and dealt with political affairs all night, Luo Guanglu received him.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Luo Guanglu introduced the duties of the confidential secretary to Gao Zhi in detail. After listening, Gao Zhi felt that as the confidential secretary of the world, he needed to be very meticulous and focused on doing everything well.
In the afternoon, ** woke up and learned of Gao Zhi's arrival and received him very warmly. After asking Gao Zhi about the basic situation, ** praised Gao Zhi's Suide Normal School and invited him to help him deal with things.
The first thing Gao Zhi had to do was to add titles to documents, and although he had read a lot of poetry books, he was not very familiar with how to add titles to documents. So, he decided to use "The People" as a template and gave these documents a very literary title.
When *** saw these titles, he jokingly said, "These documents are for me to see, just get straight to the point." Gao Zhi works next to *** and has the opportunity to see some confidential documents, which makes him always remind himself that he can't leak these secrets, because it's about ***
Gao Zhi admired ***'s handwriting very much, and once, **practicing calligraphy in the room, he missed a word when writing ancient poems, and **planned to throw it away. However, Gao Zhi hopes that the chairman will give it to him.
Because of the missing word, ** rewrote a complete picture to Gao Zhi. After Gao Zhi received the chairman's poem, he couldn't put it down and framed it in the living room at home. In the more than 10 years of working with ***, Gao Zhi accompanied the chairman to the countryside and learned about the needs of the grassroots people and the political ideals.
He was more and more impressed by the wisdom and charisma of the chairman.
The cooperation between Gao Zhi and *** is extraordinary, and sometimes they are even like friends. However, even the closest friends will face the day of separation. On April 19, 1962, all the people working around him had been transferred, and Gao Zhi also realized that this was the chairman discussing the transfer with him.
After the two met, ** asked him directly: "You have worked by my side for many years, do you plan to continue to stay here?" In this regard, Gao Zhi thought for a while and said that he hoped to be able to hone himself at the grassroots level, because he believed that looking at problems should not just stay on the surface.
Hearing this answer, ** was very happy, and asked Gao Zhi if he wanted to go to ** work. Gao Zhi said he hopes to return to his hometown of Shaanxi because he is a native of Shaanxi.
At the time of parting, Gao Zhi was very reluctant, hoping to see *** again. They agreed on a time, and Gao Zhi took his daughter to the Yi Nian Hall. At the Yi Nian Hall, he left his daughter in the care of the staff and went directly to the chairman.
However, he found that *** was already waiting for him in the Yi Nian Hall. They talked cordially for a while, and the chairman repeatedly told Gao Zhi: "If you go to work at the grassroots level, you must do something practical and tell me the real situation at the grassroots level." ”
In the final moments of their conversation, the two fell into a deep silence, as if time had also stood still at this moment. Looking at Gao Zhi, ** spoke: "Gao Zhi, if you are not in a hurry, wait until the child is born." ”
Gao Zhi's words made Gao Zhi very surprised, because he never mentioned the news that his lover was going to have a child, how did he know? Gao Zhi was very touched by this concern from the great leader, but he decided not to wait and set off for Xi'an with his family.
Seeing Gao Zhi's decision, the chairman didn't hold back too much, but said affectionately: "I hope we can still leave some thoughts in the future." So, the two took a group photo together, leaving this unforgettable moment.
Not long after, Gao Zhi's youngest daughter Xiaomei ran over, ** liked children very much, so she asked him to hold Xiaomei and take another photo. In 1965, Gao Zhi met *** in Beijing and they shared their old feelings and were full of emotion.
I hoped that Gao Zhi would come to see him often, but due to his busy work, Gao Zhi never returned to Beijing until 1976, when he left us forever.
Hearing the bad news of the chairman, Gao Zhi was overwhelmed with grief. He longed to attend the chairman's memorial service, but the capital restricted access, so he had to use alcohol to numb himself.
On September 13, **staff called** to blame him for why he did not attend the memorial for the chairman, and the chairman's daughter Li Min also asked him with tears why he didn't come to mourn his father.
* After knowing the situation, he immediately made arrangements, and on the second day, Gao Zhi came to the chairman's coffin and wept bitterly, expressing his inner grief with tears. Gao Zhi has always been a follower of the great ***.
He was cautious and ambitious, and when he came to work beside the chairman, his rigorous work attitude was deeply appreciated by the chairman. When his talents had more room to develop, the chairman generously let him leave and let him go to the grassroots level to hone his skills.
Recall a sentence from the article: "You can't look at problems superficially." "* Hearts for the people, so the people around him will also have the people in mind, and they all share the same values.
They used their lives to forge the great feats of China's independence. When we look back at the history of our predecessors, these people with brilliant personalities have always been able to deeply influence us with their charisma.
As juniors, we should also take their value orientation as our most noble value and forge ahead.
