Discover the unique charm of *** smoke
During the revolutionary years, the founding fathers of our country shouldered heavy wars and government affairs, and under the lights of the night, they often had difficulty sleeping and were mentally overloaded.
In order to inspire morale, many leaders of the time, especially military commanders, resorted to smoking to release stress for a short time, and the figure of Chairman *** is particularly eye-catching, and his tobacco story truly reflects the unique symbol of that era.
In the world, no one knows Commissar Mao's love for tobacco, whether it is in the war-torn era or in the years after the founding of New China, his figure is always accompanied by green smoke.
Tobacco, reading, and games together constitute the three indispensable pleasures of his life. Commissar Mao's addiction to smoking is legendary: it is said that he even craves smoking when swimming, so he chooses the backstroke posture and enjoys the fun of being in the smoky water.
The more than 60 years of smoking age has attracted the attention of the whole world, and the American writer once sincerely sighed: "No country's political giants can have such a deep attachment to tobacco as Commissar Mao." ”
After many years of frequent smoking, ** has a deep understanding of all kinds of tobacco. In his more than half a century of smoking years, he has tasted almost all the major brands in China, thus accumulating rich and unique insights.
Whenever asked about this, he always humorously replied"Taste the taste of the crowd and inhale the smoke of all kinds of things"Deprecating. What are the unique flavors behind these cigarettes? What indispensable role do they play in the life of the President?
Let's do it.
As early as in the fire of agricultural activities, ** formed a deep friendship with tobacco. At that time, the country's economy was still at a low ebb, and it was difficult for ordinary people to enjoy high-end tobacco"Leaf smoke"It has become their daily comfort.
It was in this simple gift that he accepted the warm invitation of the farmer brothers, and he conducted research in the fields of Hunan and shared weal and woe with the villagers. During this period, the villagers expressed their respect for him with their treasured leaf cigarettes, which they gladly accepted, which made tobacco an important partner in his life and thinking.
Whether walking on the land of the motherland or pondering national affairs, tobacco is always with him, and he firmly believes that "no smoke in hand, the mind seems to be missing a key link".
In the years of the war, he shouldered heavy responsibilities and fought day and night. Under the tremendous pressure of work, cigarettes became an indispensable thing for him to boost his spirits.
However, the poor conditions in the revolutionary zone made standing tobacco a challenge. In the face of difficulties, he was ingenious and concocted local tobacco to meet his needs. For this homemade smoke, he only asks for a strong pick-me-up.
During his days in Yan'an, the clay smoke he made by himself accompanied him through countless lights, such as when he wrote "On Protracted War", the hut was full of smoke and pen farming.
Despite the strong and coarse smell of the earthy smoke, for him, the source of strength in the smoke is his spiritual backbone. At that time, people did not have a deep understanding of the dangers of tobacco, but it was this seemingly unhealthy habit that supported him to forge ahead and stick to his post.
This was the lifeline of his work during that special period.
**The unique love for tobacco allows the people around him to gain insight into his work mood by observing the details of his smoking. For example, when he reviewed the document, he took a deep breath, symbolizing his in-depth analysis and careful treatment of the content. Smoking cigarette after cigarette reveals the complexity of the task and his focus on deep thinking.
Although he had a wide range of cigarettes, including homemade dry and earthy tobacco, as well as the occasional fine cigarette from the enemy, each puff carried the spark of wisdom for his strategic decisions.
Under the control of Chiang Kai-shek, the support of the United States endowed him with huge financial resources and rich material reserves, and even cigarettes were extremely luxurious on the battlefield"555"Cigarettes are particularly prominent, and their rich and deep taste has been praised by ***.
Our army in the revolutionary area has also captured treasures such as those captured by Deng Hua in battle"Platinum Dragon"Cigarettes, which were rare at the time. Deng Hua cherishes these high-end cigarettes as treasures, and only tastes them at special moments, and his low-key luxury is humorously called"Hidden treasures"。
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, despite the material abundance, ** still could not resist the charm of cigarettes. Compared with the beacon years, there are many high-quality cigarettes now, but he loves it alone"555", but its ** made him scruples.
In order to be financially frugal, he embarked on a journey to find civilian domestic tobacco. He had tried"China"with"Pandas", despite the fact that they are emerging brands and are moderate, his massive demand for smoking makes these options seem inadequate.
Facing only 404 per month8 yuan of income, he is resolutely unwilling to use **. As a result, the issue of cigarette money once became a heavy financial pressure on him, which deeply troubled him. Until discovery"Luojia Mountain", the taste is good and the people are close to the people, which just meets his needs, and since then, it has become a substitute for the chairman's abstinence.
** The love of cigarettes did not drive him to luxury, but showed his extreme frugality in small things. Whether it's an unsmoked cigarette butt in his pocket or an old matchbox, he regards it as a precious resource, carefully preserving it, and looking forward to the value of reuse.
This deep-rooted concept of saving is implemented throughout his daily life and in his decisions and actions. Even though the matchbox was worn out, he continued to use it, which is a vivid expression of his philosophy of thrift.
**The life practice of the chairman vividly illustrates the beauty of frugality. He cherishes everyday items, even when they need to be replaced by natural wear and tear, and insists on not giving them up easily.
In a meeting with the British Prime Minister, who wore pants with patches, he smiled when asked by the staff to change them: "Don't worry, who can see the details behind my pants?" ”
This is the profound embodiment of his philosophy of thrift and thrift, and his firm action to internalize this spirit in his actions and integrate it into his life.
Despite his love for tobacco, he wisely refrained. At the critical juncture of the Chongqing negotiations, in the face of Chiang Kai-shek's invitation, he persisted for 43 days and nights, without drinking a drop of alcohol and not lighting a single cigarette.
Chairman Chiang not only does not smoke, but also rejects the smell of smoke. With great determination, Grandpa Mao sacrificed his personal hobbies and devoted himself to the future of the country and the nation. This selfless spirit deeply touched Chiang Kai-shek, and after the negotiations, he sincerely sighed:"This person's talent should not be underestimated. "
This shows that he always insists that the interests of the country and the people are above all else, and even the most cherished personal hobbies are not hesitant to let go in the face of righteousness.
For the sake of the country and the people, he can not hesitate to give up his personal preferences.
In the context of the rapid development of medical technology in China, there is a growing understanding of the risks of smoking. Even around the great man, his cronies actively persuaded him to stay away from tobacco.
However, due to the long-term habit that is difficult to give up, the road to quitting smoking is particularly bumpy. It wasn't until Stalin's health warning came that **'s determination began to firmly quit smoking.
Although the process was challenging, he gradually cut back on his addiction. In the last stages of his life, he strictly followed the doctor's instructions, and the medical staff witnessed his perseverance, and he successfully said goodbye to the smoking habit that had accompanied him for more than 60 years.
For the sake of health, ** poured incomparable persistence, although he often held a cigarette box in his hand, but never lit it, this determination is admirable.
** He has a different kind of feelings for cigarettes, for him, this is not only a refreshing carrier, but also a bridge between him and the masses. He often tasted local tobacco and dry tobacco with ordinary people, and this pro-people behavior narrowed the distance between him and the people, thus winning their hearts and strength.
It is like a seemingly ordinary cigarette, small but contains the possibility of igniting the future, symbolizing that a small force can inspire far-reaching influence and illuminate the way forward for the country and the nation.
