After visiting Song Qingling, he ordered all efforts to treat him.
In May 1981, Ms. Soong Ching Ling's condition worsened and she was taken to Beijing Hospital. Soon after, her old friend *** came to visit. After the two briefly exchanged pleasantries, Song Qingling said with a smile: "This is just a ** illness." ”
Smile in response and sit down in a chair next to her bed and say sincerely, "You're sick, how can I not come and see you?" The two then began to talk about the current state of development in China, although moments of silence always felt heavy.
Song Qingling suddenly said: "I'm afraid the situation is not good this time. * paused, understanding her concern. She was afraid that no one would take her over when she fell. The two talked for a moment, and it was unknown what they said, but *** nodded.
Seeing that the old friend agreed, Song Qingling smiled faintly. People are old and sick, and their spirits always seem a little sluggish, so they quickly said goodbye to Song Qingling. However, the first thing ** does after leaving the hospital is to give an order.
As soon as this order came out, many people were shocked, because before this, no one had ever been taken as seriously as Song Qingling. What exactly is this command? Let's move on.
Sun Yat-sen and Soong Ching-ling, although they had never met, were like-minded and worked together for the revolutionary cause. Soong Ching-ling was born in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, when China was in turmoil, but because of the strong power of her family, she was not greatly affected.
The Song family attaches great importance to education, especially her father, Song Yaoru, who spares no effort in her education. Therefore, Song Qingling received a good education from an early age, and at the age of seven she was sent to Shanghai Zhongxi Girls' School to study, and her grades were excellent.
At the age of 15, she went to the United States to study and earned a bachelor's degree in literature. At the age of 21, she returned to her homeland and met Sun Yat-sen on her way back. Sun Yat-sen's profound knowledge, elegant conversation, and extraordinary bearing made Soong Ching Ling deeply attracted to him.
Sun Yat-sen's views on revolution were very similar to those of Soong Ching-ling, and the two coincided in their thoughts, and gradually developed a deep affection. However, due to the different family backgrounds of the two, their union was opposed by the family and their parents.
However, Song Qingling was deeply influenced by foreign education and firmly believed that everyone should have their own freedom to marry, and she firmly believed that her marriage should be decided by herself and choose her partner.
In the end, despite the family's opposition, Soong Ching-ling married Sun Yat-sen in Japan in 1915, and their love story became part of China's modern history.
The married life of Soong Ching Ling and Sun Yat-sen was full of mutual support and understanding, and they were both committed to the revolutionary cause and had a common goal. Soong Ching-ling thus became Sun Yat-sen's close partner and confidant, and at the same time began her own political career.
However, Sun Yat-sen's death in Beijing in 1925 dealt a huge blow to Soong Ching-ling. However, she quickly picked herself up and decided to continue to devote herself to the revolution, continue to follow the path of Sun Yat-sen, and make unremitting efforts for China's rejuvenation.
At the same time, ** has been immersed in reading, constantly exploring and looking for the right way to save China. While studying in France, he joined the Communist Youth League of China in Europe and joined the Chinese Communist Party in his own name around 1924.
Although he did not emerge at this time, he already knew something about Song Qingling's deeds and deeply admired her patriotic heart. However, the road to revolution was fraught with challenges.
In 1927, the KMT's policy towards the CCP became increasingly harsh, and its repression of the CCP became increasingly severe. At this time, ** came to Wuhan and worked as a secretary in ** agency.
In the same year, Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Ching-wei launched counter-revolutionary coups one after another, and the revolutionary situation became very grim. Soong Ching-ling is working in Wuhan, she is the leader of the Kuomintang and has a strong influence in the party.
Both Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Ching-wei wanted to win over Soong Ching-ling and build momentum for their counter-revolution. However, Soong Ching Ling resolutely rejected their overtures.
In July 1921, Soong Ching-ling issued a statement openly stating that she would always persist in fighting for the revolutionary cause. She said that she would never participate in any activities until the Kuomintang had not changed its ** and counterrevolutionary policies; Nor would she hold any position in the party until the revolutionary cause was fully integrated into the orbit of Zhongshanism.
She is not a traitor, she has nothing to do with Nanjing**. Song Qingling was not afraid of the threats of Wang and Jiang's factions, and behaved above board. She continued to work hard for the revolutionary cause and made unremitting efforts for the smooth progress of the revolutionary cause.
Her actions left a deep impression on ***'s heart. Many years later, ** is still full of respect for Song Qingling and deeply admires her. The first time they met, they came to apologize for a misunderstanding.
From the time of the National Revolution until 1929, ** was active in Shanghai. In those years, the ** activities he organized were seriously punished by the Kuomintang authorities, and the ranks of Communist Party members were constantly reduced.
The environment in which the party organization operates has also become more dangerous.
In the early 30s of the 20th century, Soong Ching-ling devoted himself to rescuing members of the Communist Party, actively promoting the united front of the Communist Party, and in the process facilitating cooperation between the two sides.
She not only helped the Eighth Route Army obtain a large amount of supplies, but also gave them a lot of money and medical support. ** I know how important these supports are to the Anti-Japanese War and the development of the Eighth Route Army.
On the road of revolution, ** is also growing, gradually gaining more influence in the party. He had always wanted to talk to Song Qingling face-to-face, but due to the restrictions of the situation at the time, he had not been able to find a suitable opportunity.
The two continued on their way, and it was not until 1949 that they met for the first time. It's a very interesting story. At that time, it was the liberation of Shanghai, and the soldiers were tired from the march and wanted to find a suitable place to rest.
At that time, the People's Liberation Army had just entered Shanghai, so the officers and soldiers did not know much about the local situation. The company commander who led the team saw that the soldiers were tired, so he pointed to a house at random and ordered the platoon commander to take people to rest and recuperate.
This spacious house was once Soong Ching Ling's residence, but no one knew about it at the time. The soldiers were rejected by the porter when they sought to stay in the camp, and at this moment, a lady with an elegant temperament came downstairs, and she was none other than Soong Ching Ling.
She explained her identity to the fighters and suggested that they solve the problem by slapping her with the leader. This incident caused a lot of repercussions in the local area, although the soldiers did not know Song Qingling's identity and residence, but ** and ***, as the person in charge of this operation, they knew everything about it.
In order to clear up the misunderstanding, ** and *** decided to go to Song Qingling's apartment in person to apologize. So on May 31, 1949, they visited Song Qingling together.
In the end, ** and Song Meiling were able to meet face-to-face.
Qingling, persevere. ”
In 1972, Sino-US relations eased, ** took up and returned to work, first greeted Soong Qingling, and then took his family to Beijing to visit. **After three ups and downs in the "Cultural Revolution", it was not until the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee in 1977 that all positions were reinstated.
In August of the following year, ** called Song Qingling again to hope for an interview, although Song Qingling had agreed otherwise at that time, she still gave priority to meeting with ***. The two have similar understandings, believing that modernization and reform and opening up are imminent, and facing the world is the only way for a strong country, and they have reached a consensus on this.
Soong Ching Ling firmly supported ***
In 1978, "Practice is the Only Criterion for Testing Truth" was published in Guangming, which opened the curtain of China's reform and opening up. This ideological emancipation movement has filled China with confidence in its modernization development.
At the time, Soong Ching Ling was looking forward to China's future. She participated in the theoretical retreat of the Communist Party of China and the New Year's Day tea party held by the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and expressed her high appreciation and support for the conversation.
She said to ***: "Your conversation is morale-boosting. The situation will get better and better. The two encouraged each other and had a good conversation. After Song Qingling became seriously ill, he visited him in person many times.
Since 1981, Song Qingling's body has become weaker and weaker, and she feels very sad every time she visits. But he still tried his best to comfort his friend and put her at ease.
He was concerned about Song Qingling's condition and issued an order: Song Qingling enjoyed the treatment of the head of state. Two weeks before Soong Ching-ling's death, she made a request to join the Communist Party, and finally successfully joined the Communist Party of China.
In fact, Soong Qingling wanted to apply to join the party as early as 1957, but was not allowed at that time. Now, she has finally fulfilled her wish. Before Song Qingling died, ** came to visit her for the last time and congratulated her on joining.
The friendship between Song Qingling and *** is not only a friendship between individuals, but also a witness to China's reform and opening up. Their conversations and exchanges have had a far-reaching impact on China's modernization process.
On May 29, 1981, Song Qingling passed away, and his heart was like a knife. He always remembered his friend and expressed his nostalgia for her in various ways in his later work.
At the Fifth Plenary Session of the 13th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in 1989, ** stated that he would no longer participate in ** conference activities and resigned from his position. However, he never gave up his position as the honorary chairman of the Soong Ching Ling Association, because this is his attention and support for his friend's career, and he sincerely hopes that the ** will get better and better.
The revolutionary friendship between Soong Ching Ling and *** deeply touched the people, and their patriotic enthusiasm and selfless dedication were admirable. Ye Shumin wrote in the book "Friendship": "Friendship needs to be told and listened to. ”
Song Qingling's friendship with *** is like this, they respect each other and understand each other. The years have not diminished the trust between them, but have made their friendship stronger.
They have a common goal, looking forward to the prosperity and democracy of New China, and hoping that the country will be more open and the economy will be more developed. They did everything they could for it and never gave up. On the way to achieve their goals, they met and became each other's confidants and most trusted revolutionary partners.
Despite the bumpy road, they both saw immortal gold in each other's hearts – just like their friendship.
