Time is like a river, from ancient times to the present, countless times have passed quietly. Like a raging dragon, this river emits a deafening roar, always warning us that today's tranquility and prosperity stem from the endless struggle of our ancestors for New China.
It is their dedication that has brought us the better life we have today. Although the passage of time has made people forget their names, they have a common title - heroes.
The Arduous Road to the Founding of China and the Story Behind the Founding Ceremony Looking back on the course of the founding of the People's Republic of China, we have to admit that this journey has been full of ups and downs and difficulties.
Every setback reminds us that the Chinese must stand up and that we must take control of our own destiny. In order to achieve this goal, China began a multi-year war of liberation against Japan.
In the hopeful year of 1949, we, the sons and daughters of China, were full of expectations and hopes that New China had finally been founded. When *** proudly announced to the world from the majestic Tiananmen Gate Tower that the People's Republic of China was founded, the whole Chinese people rejoiced, their blood boiled, as if every cell was active.
For this moment, the people have waited too long, too long. However, what is the story behind this moment in history? What kind of intense preparations can make this grand ceremony go smoothly?
01 The "wreckage" of the civil war After the Chinese Communist Party decided to hold the founding ceremony, everyone who prepared for the ceremony felt nervous for fear of making a mistake. In the midst of this happy thing, there is a discordant voice.
Although Chiang Kai-shek had gone into exile in Taiwan and had lost the support of the people, he was still unwilling to spend the rest of his life in Taiwan alone, and he wanted to prevent the founding ceremony from going smoothly in order to maintain his position in the political arena.
To this end, he has set up a number of eyeliners and spies in Beijing, and has reached an agreement with the United States in an attempt to use the American air force to carry out air strikes. However, from the Korean War to the Vietnam War, the wolf ambitions of the United States have been clearly exposed, and such an approach is obviously very inappropriate.
In two fierce battles, China's relations with the United States became strained. The United States' plan to dominate the world and undermine peace is well known, but China does not want to follow in its footsteps.
This incident has put China and the United States on opposite sides again. Assuming Chiang Kai-shek really succeeded, how serious would the consequences be? Although Chiang Kai-shek had some "scheming", our responsible person had already gained insight and therefore formulated an effective strategy.
Among them, the most straightforward point is to set the start time of the ceremony at 3 p.m. Why is that? It turned out that the US military aircraft had particularly poor eyesight at night.
If they wanted to attack Tiananmen Square, it would take six hours to make a round trip, and even if the conspiracy succeeded, their flight would definitely be affected at night when they returned, because the weather in October was already long and the days were short.
The Chinese Air Force has long been ready to respond, and they will not give the enemy a chance to escape. In order to prevent the worst-case scenario, we even equip the Air Force with bullets during the flight parade so that it can be immediately put into battle in case of emergency.
If there is danger, the people on the tower will hide inside Tiananmen Square, while the people below will lie on the ground to protect their lives. We have taken a series of measures to protect people's lives.
In the end, Chiang Kai-shek did not take the air raid action, and he still expressed opposition to the Tiananmen air raid plan after three ** urgings. As a man who has already left, he knows that if an air strike is carried out, he will suffer permanent shame, regardless of the outcome.
He carried out an air raid not only on the Chinese Communist Party, but also on the hearts of 40,000,000 compatriots. More importantly, if Tiananmen Square, as the historic national capital, is damaged, what is the difference between it and the invaders of the Eight-Nation Alliance's burning of the Old Summer Palace.
Therefore, at the last moment, his sobriety prevented him from engaging in such crazy acts. Although his plan for air raids ultimately failed, he did make a lot of preparations.
In addition to joining forces with the US military, he also sent more than 10,000 spies to lurk in Beijing, preparing to assassinate the people attending the celebration, using various means to blow up the *** convoy on the day of the celebration, and planting explosives on the city tower.
We have also taken precautions against this. Since the enemy is in the shadows, if they patrol and inventory personnel openly, they may be alarmed, and they will also be wary.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the celebration, the organizers arranged a large number of plainclothes patrols on the eve of the celebration, and carried out strict patrols around Tiananmen Square day and night. These plainclothes officers act like detectives, carefully observing the crowd of people.
During the patrol, one of the team members accidentally found a special cigarette butt, which was from the Flying Tiger brand cigarettes. Flying Tiger cigarettes are high-end cigarettes that only the wealthy or powerful can afford.
This detail makes the patrolmen more vigilant, and they are more attentive to everything around them. After all, the fox's tail could not be hidden, and since the patrol members were all dressed in civilian clothes, the agent did not notice it when he stepped on the spot, so he thought he was safe.
On that day, he was on the castle tower preparing to draw a route map, but his actions alarmed the patrol members. Not only did he draw in a high-profile manner, but he also wore a gorgeous dress, wearing a top hat and leather shoes on his feet, and he looked fearless.
After investigation, the patrol members noticed that this person was behaving unusually and decided to come forward and ask about it. However, he showed a ** expression, took out a dagger and stabbed at the interrogator.
Fortunately, the patrolmen were professionally trained and quickly a** him. After interrogation, he confessed that he was a spy arranged by Chiang Kai-shek in Beijing, intending to detonate his vehicle on the way to the founding ceremony.
The patrolmen were careful enough to stop a spy in time who could cause great damage.
During his tenure as Minister of Public Security, he successfully captured more than 3,000 spies. On the eve of the founding ceremony, the members of the daily patrol found a problem on the castle tower and smelled a special smell - the smell of gunpowder.
Everyone immediately heightened their vigilance, because the founding ceremony is coming, and there must be no mistakes at this time. Everyone knew the danger of explosives, and after careful investigation, the explosives package was finally found and the danger was ruled out.
This incident made everyone more vigilant, and the whole preparation was carried out with a tense heartstring. The Founding Ceremony required a series of preparations, the most important and the most intense of which was on October 1, 1949.
In August, Mu Fengyun had already received an order from *** to form a plainclothes guard team.
The birthplace of the plainclothes guards of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau is on the banks of the moat in Beijing. They are like beacons on the sea, illuminating the smooth progress of the ceremony. They disguised themselves as cigarette sellers, others fruit sellers, and set up many camouflage stalls near Tiananmen Square.
When the military order sounds, whether it is a company commander or a platoon commander, he will immediately become a market vendor, who should shout and shout. They keep a close eye on their surroundings and report the slightest movement.
These disguised players have undergone rigorous training, and there is also a special team, all of which are girls. Some people may ask, why choose girls? In fact, because during the ceremony, there will be leaders, foreign friends and reporters on the castle tower, etc., who need etiquette to be responsible for some of the work of serving tea and pouring water.
These 40 plainclothes women are an elite selection from many college graduates in Beijing, and they are athletic and intelligent. After rigorous training, they became the ceremonial personnel who wore civilian clothes on the castle tower on the day of the ceremony, and were responsible for serving tea, entertaining guests, and leading leaders.
Why does such a job require special selection and training? It turns out that this job of serving tea and water is full of dangers. Any small omission can lead to a catastrophe.
Since the Kuomintang spies were all over Beijing, any negligence could become a loophole for them to exploit. Moreover, the Kuomintang has always liked to play tricks that cannot be put on the table.
They must always be vigilant to avoid being exploited by the enemy.
Some are poisonous, colorless and tasteless, but deadly, and the Kuomintang does have a hand in this. So these plainclothes women are not ordinary etiquette, but"the inside and soft on the outside"。Not only do they have to use their expertise to complete day-to-day tasks and make guests feel welcome, but they also have to ensure the safety of all food and the environment that is eaten.
It was this kind of work of serving tea and pouring water, but it formed a line of defense with the Kuomintang spies. On the day of the founding ceremony, there was a special boil water supervisor among the plainclothes women.
When the plainclothes ladies poured tea for the leaders, their eyes and hands never left the teacups. From the leader to the leader to pour hot water at the boiling place, this series of processes, the teacup is within the visual range, and there can be no fake hands or any problems.
In addition, they must also see and listen to all directions, and observe the surrounding dynamics at any time to prevent emergencies from happening.
If they show up, they must use their agility to ensure the safety of everyone on the towers. Because they wore civilian clothes, they could not attract the attention of the enemy while observing their surroundings and working diligently.
We are in the dark, and the spies have no way to start at all, they can't get to know the situation on the city tower, so naturally they don't dare to take the slightest action. On the eve of the ceremony, they heard about Chiang Kai-shek's assassination, so the plainclothes women were even more engrossed: whether the ceremony could be held smoothly at this moment, they were the most critical figures.
The conference was going on intensely and solemnly, and when the good news was announced to the people, they could not cheer like the crowd in the audience. However, their tenacity and determination are unparalleled, and they have proven themselves to be guardians of the safety of their people.
At that moment, they not only need to suppress the excitement in their hearts, but also stick to their posts like heavenly soldiers and generals, and remain silent. Their rigorous attitude not only reflects the etiquette of the country, but also ensures the safety of everyone involved.
Although the Kuomintang did not perceive it, there was a mysterious force hidden in this high tower. They may seem weak, but they are tough enough to take on any challenge.
Although the agents did not act, we knew that the success of the ceremony would not have been possible without their preparation and dedication. These plainclothes women are unsung heroes who use their power to make China proud on the global stage.
Although their names may have been forgotten, the "plainclothes ladies upstairs in the Founding Ceremony City" will be their title forever.
I think they are determined and proud to be able to accomplish the tasks entrusted to them by the organization on such a far-reaching day as New China. As the so-called women do not let their eyebrows be shaved, in every period of struggle to be the master of the country in New China, the women who emerged are worthy of praise and admiration.
They have the spirit of screws like Lei Feng, no matter whether history remembers it or not, they all pay silently and are brave and fearless. The courage and spirit they show are not inferior to men, and they, in the sonorous hard struggle, have a unique feminine softness.
Looking back on history, it is a fascinating annat, as the descendants of New China, we have gained knowledge at the same time, but also gained the strength left by our ancestors.
We will always remember those who made history for us.
Let us remember the dedication of our ancestors, no matter where we are, we should go all out like plainclothes women, fight hard for the future of the motherland with our own strength, and contribute our own strength to the strength and prosperity of China.
