Ho Chi Minh's death warns the ambassador to Vietnam to avoid two things.
September 2, 1969 was a historic day for the Vietnamese people. Twenty-four years ago today, President Ho Chi Minh proclaimed the founding of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in Hanoi, which is designated as Vietnam's National Day.
Unfortunately, however, President Ho Chi Minh passed away on this day due to illness, leaving behind his beloved Vietnam and people. At that time, the relations between China and Vietnam were very close, so Ambassador Wang Youping immediately reported the news of the death of President Ho Chi Minh to the Prime Minister.
After learning of this, he immediately instructed Wang Youping not to do two things.
The story between Ho Chi Minh and *** begins with their common goal - to drive out the French colonizers and liberate their compatriots. Ho Chi Minh, formerly known as Nguyen Bi Thanh and known as Aiguo, is the child of a family of teachers in Kim Lian Village, Nam Tan District, Nghe An Province, Vietnam.
He had great ambitions and was determined to fight for the independence and liberation of his homeland from an early age. In 1905, he began to participate in the anti-French movement at the Hue State School, providing liaison and assistance to patriotic people.
After that, he dropped out of school and entered a private school as a teacher, although he was busy, his ambition did not change, he longed to study in Western countries and find a way to save the country and save the people.
So, at the end of 1911, Ho Chi Minh assumed the pseudonym A San and came to France on a merchant ship to work as a chef's assistant, and began a journey of study and exploration in France, Britain, the United States and other Western countries.
While working to earn a living, he worked hard to learn foreign languages, had extensive contact with foreign people, and explored the national conditions of various countries. This experience enabled Ho Chi Minh to understand Marxism more deeply and laid a solid foundation for his later revolutionary career.
His determination and courage, as well as his deep affection for the motherland and people, made him the leader of the Vietnamese revolution and made outstanding contributions to the independence and liberation of China and Vietnam.
In 1917, Ho Chi Minh crossed the ocean to France, where he joined the workers' movement, then joined the French Socialist Party and founded the Vietnam Patriots Association. Two years later, he joined the French Communist Party and became the first Communist Party member in Vietnam.
In 1922, he made friends who were working and studying in France. Ho Chi Minh and *** have many things in common, such as being both Asian, having Asian ancestry, similar cultures, and more importantly, they both believe in communism and look for a way out for national liberation.
As a result, they become like-minded in conversation and gradually become confidants. Especially in distant Europe, the homesickness quickly made them friends who talked about everything. Since Ho Chi Minh arrived in France earlier than *** and is older, *** has always regarded him as his big brother.
On the recommendation of Ho Chi Minh, ** also joined the French Communist Party. However, their friendship doesn't stop there. At that time, Ho Chi Minh did not expect that he would fall into the hands of the Kuomintang twenty years later, let alone that ** would save him at a critical moment.
At the end of August 1942, Ho Chi Minh was intercepted by the Kuomintang Township Police in Debao County, Guangxi Province, and after checking the documents he was carrying, he was found to have expired, so he was seized.
Two days later, Ho Chi Minh was escorted to Jingxi County, where he became an important suspect and was further examined by the Guilin camp of the National Military Commission. During this period, Ho Chi Minh tried to communicate with the Kuomintang side, but to no avail.
The year spent in prison took a toll on Ho Chi Minh, both physically and psychologically. He was held as a political prisoner by the Kuomintang authorities, with drug addicts and venereal disease patients, in a crowded cell with no place to lie down.
In desperation, he could only sit on the toilet to rest. According to statistics, from August 29, 1942 to September 10, 1943, Ho Chi Minh was held for a year in 13 prisons under 13 counties in Guangxi Province, including Jingxi, Tien Dong and Long An.
The news of Ho Chi Minh's imprisonment shocked the Vietnamese communists, who were anxious to find his whereabouts. However, the Kuomintang authorities ignored this, and in desperation, the Viet Cong could only ask the Chinese Communist Party for help.
Yan'an quickly reported the situation to *** and asked him to rescue Ho Chi Minh. **After unremitting efforts, Ho Chi Minh was successfully freed from prison on September 10, 1943.
Ho Chi Minh was deeply grateful for this rescue and sighed: "China and Vietnam have a deep friendship, comrades and brothers. "The friendship between Ho Chi Minh and the Chinese Communist Party was also deepened by this rescue.
In 1949, when the People's Republic of China was founded, the birth of New China was announced on the tower of Tiananmen Gate, and the Chinese people finally looked forward to peace and stability.
At that time, Vietnam was waging a heroic struggle against the French invaders. In 1945, Ho Chi Minh's Democratic Republic of Vietnam was established, but it was met with armed French intervention.
In order to resist the aggression, Ho Chi Minh once again led the Vietnamese people to come forward. At this critical juncture, in January 1950, Ho Chi Minh made a secret visit to China to seek New China's assistance to Vietnam in its fight against the French invaders.
**was visiting the Soviet Union,**After asking for instructions***, he accompanied Ho Chi Minh to Moscow to meet with Stalin, and jointly agreed on a plan to aid Vietnam.
During his time in the Soviet Union, Ho Chi Minh, his big brother who always cared for and cared for him, expressed firm support for his struggle against France.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it provided strong support for the Vietnam War of Resistance against France. According to statistics, all kinds of aid amounted to 5 million tons of food, 30,000 cars, 2 million tons of gasoline and hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign exchange.
At the same time, Chen Geng and other senior generals also went to the front line to assist the Vietnamese army in combat. The support of the new China was like injecting a strong impetus into the Vietnamese People's Army, which successfully resisted the French invading army.
In July 1954, in the final declaration of the Geneva Conference, the national sovereignty of Vietnam and other countries was recognized, which marked the victory of Vietnam's war of resistance against France and completely crushed the French plan to colonize Vietnam.
China's action to resist France and aid Vietnam has deepened the goodwill of the Vietnamese represented by Ho Chi Minh towards China, and expressed deep respect for the leaders of the older generation of countries.
According to historical records, Ho Chi Minh visited China several times, openly or secretly, after 1950.
Always regarded Ho Chi Minh as his big brother, no matter which province Ho Chi Minh visited, he would do his best to prepare his beloved Chinese apples and cigarettes for Ho Chi Minh.
During his visit to China, Ho Chi Minh traveled to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Xinjiang, Hainan and other places, and he was the most visited by any foreign head of state who has visited China.
Before his death, Ho Chi Minh's health deteriorated and he had to recuperate to recover. As the medical conditions in Vietnam could not meet Ho Chi Minh's recuperation needs, he secretly came to China in 1963 under the pseudonym "Dinh Lao" to recuperate.
** gladly accepted Ho Chi Minh's request to come to China to recuperate, and carefully selected a medical team for him, formulated a thorough ** plan and the required medicines, medical equipment, etc.
However, by 1969, Ho Chi Minh's health began to deteriorate and his condition became increasingly serious. According to historical records, after Ho Chi Minh's health deteriorated, at his request, the People's Republic of China sent the country's top medical team to Vietnam four times to treat him.
As a result of his years of devotion to the revolutionary war, Ho Chi Minh's body was already extremely weak, especially his heart. In March 1969, Ho Chi Minh suffered a heart attack, and upon learning the news, New China immediately formed a medical team composed of top domestic doctors and ordered them to immediately go to Vietnam to consult Ho Chi Minh.
On April 2, 1969, Ho Chi Minh sent a letter to the Chinese Communist Party, expressing his deep gratitude to China for its selfless assistance to Vietnam. However, no one expected that this letter would be Ho Chi Minh's last letter to the CCP.
Fortunately, with the meticulous work of the medical team, Ho Chi Minh successfully saved his life from the line of death. After learning that Ho Chi Minh was recovering well, ** asked them to bring Ho Chi Minh two Peking ducks as a token of respect when the medical team went to Vietnam again.
However, Ho Chi Minh's health suddenly deteriorated on August 15, when a common cold came like a bolt from the blue as he was in his eighties and seriously ill.
On the 23rd, 8 days have passed, and Ho Chi Minh's heart disease has worsened again, accompanied by bronchitis symptoms. The double torture of these two diseases made Ho Chi Minh miserable, having difficulty breathing and even showing symptoms of shock.
The next day, Vietnam** urgently summoned the Chinese ambassador to Vietnam, informed him of Ho Chi Minh's critical illness, and asked China to send medical experts to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam**. ** After learning the news, he immediately took action, selected the best doctors in the country, formed two medical teams, sent them to Vietnam in two batches, did everything to save Ho Chi Minh's life, and sent a special plane to deliver emergency medicines.
Ho Chi Minh's condition is irreversible, and even the most skilled doctors have no way to recover. At 6 a.m. on September 2, 1969, Ho Chi Minh was in a critical state, and the doctors around him immediately launched emergency treatment, and after several hours of all-out rescue, his life could not be saved.
At 9:47 a.m. on September 2, 1969, Le Duan, the leader of the Communist Party of Vietnam, announced that he would give up the rescue, and Ho Chi Minh left us forever at the age of 79.
Why did you make this decision at this point? Shortly after Ho Chi Minh's death, the Prime Minister immediately sent a telegram to Ong Nguyen Binh instructing: first, do not contact Ho Chi Minh's medical team; Second, do not express condolences to the Vietnamese side for the time being.
So, why these two directives? What is the deep meaning behind this?
Ho Chi Minh's condition deteriorated in late August, and he had a premonition that the situation was not good and that it would be irreversible. The death of a head of state is a sensitive and important topic for any country.
Therefore, for these considerations, the Vietnamese side will definitely strictly protect Ho Chi Minh in front of the sickbed and strictly maintain it. Even the medical team will be temporarily left in Vietnam, so even contacting the medical team at this moment will not help.
Sure enough, shortly after Ho Chi Minh's death, Vietnam** negotiated with the Chinese Embassy in Vietnam and asked the medical team not to leave the presidential palace for the time being, and not to contact the outside world.
Therefore, ** instructed Wang Youping not to contact the medical team for the time being.
Ho Chi Minh's death was a huge blow to the Vietnamese people and to the Vietnamese people. The date of his death coincided with Vietnam's National Day, which was a dilemma for both celebrating the founding of the country and mourning Ho Chi Minh.
In order to avoid embarrassment, ** instructed Wang Youping not to mourn Ho Chi Minh for the time being, and wait until the Vietnamese side officially announced the news before going to mourn. Fortunately, the Vietnamese side quickly adjusted its strategy and postponed Ho Chi Minh's death by 24 hours, allowing both the celebration of the founding of the state and the mourning of Ho Chi Minh to proceed smoothly.
On the evening of September 3, the ** delegation arrived in Hanoi by special plane to pay condolences to Ho Chi Minh. ** Expressing China's deep condolences over the passing of Ho Chi Minh and making a personal request to Vietnam to pay homage to Ho Chi Minh's remains.
Due to the deep friendship between Ho Chi Minh and China and the friendly relations between China and Vietnam, the request was affirmed by the Vietnamese side. At 7 p.m. the next day, ** and *** came to the hospital to pay respects to Ho Chi Minh's remains, and they were the only foreign guests in the history of Vietnam to pay respects to Ho Chi Minh's remains at the farewell ceremony.
** Navigating complex diplomatic relations with ease, with keen insight, he quickly gave instructions and perfectly avoided embarrassing situations, which showed his brilliance and became a beautiful story in the history of Sino-Vietnamese diplomacy.
The relationship between Ho Chi Minh and *** can be said to be a revolutionary friendship of "comrades and brothers". They fought together for the realization of communism on the land of China and Vietnam, and their deep friendship with each other has endured 50 years of ups and downs.
Ho Chi Minh's imprisonment in Guangxi, China, was an important turning point in his life. This experience strengthened his belief in communism and gave him an in-depth understanding of Chinese society and people.
At the same time, in cooperation with Ho Chi Minh, I felt his firm belief in communism and selfless dedication. In the Revolutionary War, Ho Chi Minh and *** fought side by side to face difficulties and challenges together.
The exchanges and cooperation between them not only promoted the development of the revolutionary cause, but also deepened their friendship. The revolutionary friendship between Ho Chi Minh and *** is the result of their common struggle for the cause of communism, and it is also a manifestation of their deep concern and love for the fate of mankind.
Their friendship not only transcends borders and nationalities, but also transcends time and space, becoming a witness to history.
