On January 6, 1972, ** died of illness in Beijing at the age of 71. On the day of the memorial service on January 10, ** and Song Qingling, who had not appeared for a long time, attended the scene.
After the memorial service, due to physical reasons, Song Qingling left first, and *** sent him to the door.
Looking at Song Qingling's back when he was about to go away, **said to the ** who was supporting him beside him: "You go and help Mr. get into the car." * immediately walked up to Song Qingling, grabbed her arm, and put her in the car.
Song Qingling was also a little stunned for a while, but when she looked at *** who was waving to her behind her, she suddenly understood the intention. After the car started, Song Qingling said to the accompanying secretary beside him: "* What an extremely smart person!" ”
So, why do this? Why did Song Qingling say that *** is a smart person? In the spring of 1949, Soong Qingling moved to Shanghai. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Soong Ching-ling, as vice chairman of the People's Republic of China, was engaged in some work related to women and children, and occasionally undertook some work to receive foreign guests.
In 1963, due to the frequent need to work in Beijing, Soong Qingling moved from Shanghai to No. 46 Beiheyan, Houhai, Beijing. Here, Soong Ching Ling still worked hard and contributed to the cause of women's liberation and child welfare in New China.
Obviously, Song Qingling's excellent quality and outstanding contributions have been highly recognized and respected. **'s actions undoubtedly showed his humility and elegance, and also let people see his respect for Song Qingling.
Therefore, Song Qingling will say that *** is a smart person.
Song Qingling has achieved outstanding results in his work in Beijing, and has established deep mutual trust and friendship with the company in his long-term cooperation. When he learned that *** had the habit of working in bed, Song Qingling chose a large cotton pillow for people to give to him to consider his body.
**I was deeply moved when I received it, but I was reluctant to use it, so I finally chose to collect it. In the winter of 1957, when Song Qingling was working in Beijing, he was very happy to learn of her arrival, and when the northern residents were hoarding cabbage, he asked people to send some Chinese cabbage to Song Qingling.
Song Qingling was also very happy after receiving it, and immediately wrote a letter to thank *** for the gift.
This deep friendship is as indifferent as a gentleman's friendship, and it also embodies the incorruptible style of the Communists. Whenever and wherever you see Soong Ching Ling, you will warmly call her the mother of the country or Mr.
He regarded Soong Ching Ling as the successor of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's legacy, as well as his personal friend, comrade-in-arms, comrade and teacher. In 1972, when attending the ** memorial service, ** saw Song Qingling after a long absence, and was full of emotion.
Recalling the scene of helping Song Qingling get off the car in 1949, it has been more than 20 years now, and only the memories are the most real in the short time of life. Coupled with their deep friendship, **arranged** to help Song Qingling get into the car instead of himself as a sign of respect.
In addition, at a banquet, ** ignored Song Qingling when toasting, but *** kept it in mind and hoped to find an opportunity to apologize to Song Qingling.
Song Qingling knew that *** was thoughtful, so he said to the secretary after getting in the car: "The chairman is really smart." After a long period of revolutionary struggle, Soong Ching Ling established a deep friendship with the Communist Party.
As we all know, Soong Ching Ling is the wife of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, a pioneer of the Chinese Democratic Revolution, who married in 1915. For the next ten years, Soong Ching Ling accompanied Dr. Sun Yat-sen and witnessed the transformation of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary ideas.
What is even more impressive is that she witnessed the birth of the idea of "uniting Russia, uniting the Communist Party, and supporting peasants and workers" and was deeply influenced by it. Under the firm leadership of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the first cooperation between the KMT and the CCP was successfully achieved.
Through Mr. Sun Yat-sen, Soong Ching Ling learned about some of the propositions of the Communist Party of China and was full of expectations for the Communists. After the death of Dr. Sun Yat-sen in 1925, Soong Ching-ling began to live alone in Shanghai, but she still cared about the cause of national liberation.
On May 15, 1925, the capitalists of the No. 7 Cotton Factory of the Japanese Merchants in Shanghai closed the factory under the pretext of closing the factory, and the wages of the workers were suspended, which also caused the workers to **. In this context, ** was sent to Shanghai by the organization to participate in the leadership of the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions, which opened the prelude to the May Day Movement.
Although the young *** actively lobbied, it was not very effective. However, Song Qingling noticed him at this time. During the May Day Movement, Soong Ching Ling took to the streets to cheer for the movement, and also organized the "May Day Incident Relief Association for Unemployed Workers" to help unemployed workers and support the movement with practical actions.
After the end of the May Day Movement, ** and some party comrades went to Guangzhou, planning to launch a general strike in Hong Kong and Province. Although the Communist Party has increased in numbers, it is financially tight.
After Song Qingling knew this, she reached out again. She raised money for the campaign and sent the $100,000 she raised to ***
In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched the April 12 counter-revolutionary coup d'état in Shanghai, and Soong Ching-ling was shocked and deeply felt that he had deviated from Mr. Sun's original revolutionary intention. In the days that followed, Soong Ching-ling published a series of articles strongly condemning Chiang Kai-shek's actions and expressing deep sympathy for the Chinese Communist Party's plight.
** After learning about it, he immediately responded, and he publicly expressed his support for Soong Ching Ling at the trade union meeting in Hubei. However, despite this, Soong Ching-ling was unable to stop Chiang Kai-shek's counter-revolutionary actions.
But she did not give up, but used her position to help our party. At that time, Shanghai was the core area of Chiang Kai-shek's forces, and at the same time, it was also the area where our party's underground work was most intensive.
In order to cooperate with the party's work, He Baozhen, his wife, stayed in Shanghai with a pair of children, Liu Aiqin and Liu Yunruo, to work underground. However, due to the pursuit of spies and the informant of traitors, Ho Baozhen was brutally murdered in 1934.
Song Qingling's generosity helped *** and He Baozhen's children get through the difficult days in Shanghai. And all this is just a microcosm of her deep friendship with our party members.
In all stages before liberation, she attached great importance to the general interests of the nation and provided key assistance to our party on many occasions. During the agrarian revolution, she spared no effort to mobilize celebrities to rescue the best communists and patriots.
In 1932, she helped Chen Duxiu, one of the founders of the Communist Party, escape from the arrest of the Shanghai Concession.
Although Chen Duxiu has stepped down, he still enjoys high prestige within the party. Song Qingling then mobilized Shanghai celebrities and successfully rescued him. Similarly, Chen Geng held an important position in the Shanghai ** Bureau, which was unfortunate**.
After Song Qingling learned about it, he mobilized celebrities again to successfully rescue him. After the Long March, the main force of the Red Army finally met in northern Shaanxi, and Song Qingling breathed a sigh of relief, but then realized that the conditions in northern Shaanxi were difficult, and suddenly increased by nearly 40,000 Red Army, which was difficult for the local area to support.
Soon, she received a handwritten letter from ***, hoping that she could help the Red Army in northern Shaanxi to raise military funds. Song Qingling integrated the funds of several social organizations under his control, minus normal expenses, squeezed out a huge sum of 50,000 US dollars, and entrusted the Shanghai underground party to send it safely to Yan'an.
The acquisition of this fund provided support for the Red Army in northern Shaanxi to purchase military supplies, so that it could safely overcome that period of difficulty. After receiving the funds, ** sent a letter to Soong Ching-ling, but in order to avoid attracting the attention of the Kuomintang, the letter did not mention the matter of 50,000 US dollars, but instead conveyed to Soong Ching-ling the plan of uniting to resist Japan, and expressed his respect and gratitude to her.
After understanding the CCP's intention to cooperate with the Kuomintang again, Soong Ching-ling, from the perspective of national survival, believed that the CCP's anti-Japanese national united front plan was more in line with the actual national conditions and the will of the nation, so he participated in the Third Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the Kuomintang as a member of the National Committee, and actively advocated the idea of uniting the Communist Party to resist Japan.
During the War of Liberation, when Chiang Kai-shek launched a major attack on the two liberated areas of Shandong and northern Shaanxi, Soong Ching-ling and patriots in Shanghai raised nearly $4 million in medical supplies and sent them all to the liberated areas of Shandong, giving strong support to the operations in the liberated areas of Shandong.
In April 1949, when the People's Liberation Army successfully liberated Shanghai, Soong Ching Ling donated 300 tons of materials to the People's Liberation Army with her selfless dedication and firm belief in national liberation.
Her spirit deeply influenced the Communists, and also enabled her to establish an unbreakable comrade-in-arms with the Communists. Her feelings for *** are even deeper, and whenever she talks about him, her tone is full of admiration and nostalgia.
However, after Song Qingling died, he chose to live in seclusion, and rarely went out except for necessary meetings and work. In a letter to her friend Yang Mengdong, she wrote: "The loss of three wonderful friends in one year is a great sorrow for me, and they are more like brothers to me. ”
Her words are full of emotion for life and deep nostalgia for lost friends. Despite this, Soong Ching Ling still persevered in making contributions to the country and the people, and her spirit and deeds will forever shine in the annals of history.
On September 18, in Tiananmen Square, Song Qingling dragged his sick body and came to see off his beloved *** with difficulty. However, on the same day, she was in such a serious condition that she could not stand.
** and others learned about the situation, so they let her sit for the entire memorial service, becoming the only one who sit. Song Qingling and *** Tonggeng, they are close comrades-in-arms and have witnessed many important moments in history together.
When the news of ***'s death came, Song Qingling's mood was very complicated. In order to express her deep nostalgia for this beloved comrade-in-arms, she wrote the article "In Memory of ***" in December 1977, that is, on the occasion of ***'s birthday.
Five years later, Soong Ching Ling died of illness in Beijing, and this legendary and great woman finally came to an end of her life. When she was dying, **'s wife Wang Guangmei went to visit her.
At this moment, the only thing Song Qingling is looking forward to is to be able to officially join the Communist Party of China.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Song Qingling expressed her willingness to join the party, but *** considered that her status outside the party might be able to promote her work more smoothly, so she politely declined. However, Soong Ching-ling was deeply attracted by the aims and ideas of the Communist Party and had always been devoted to the Communist Party.
In the end, Wang Guangmei reported her wishes to *** and others, and after discussion, it was decided to accept Song Qingling into the party. At the last moment of Song Qingling's life, she finally realized her dream of becoming a member of the Communist Party.
In accordance with Soong Ching Ling's last wishes, her grave was placed in the Shanghai Universal Cemetery, close to her parents' graves. Before her death, she once said: "When I go to Beijing, I go to work, and when I go back to Shanghai, I go home." ”
In the hearts of many veteran comrades in the party, Soong Ching-ling is an excellent comrade and comrade-in-arms, and her historical exploits will always be remembered, and her noble qualities will forever be recorded in the annals of history.
Song Qingling, she is eternal in the hearts of children"Mother Song"He had a deep friendship with Mr. Sun Yat-sen, never married, had no children and no daughters, but made outstanding contributions to the liberation of women and child welfare in New China.
She is a veritable member of New China"Mother of the Nation"Here, we would like to extend our highest respect to Mr. Soong Ching Ling, Honorary President of the People's Republic of China!
