After being elected president, relatives were asked to apply for jobs and were talked about en masse.
April 27, 1959, this day shines brightly in the long river of Chinese history, and for ***, it can be called the pinnacle of political career. He was unanimously elected president of the People's Republic of China, and the warm applause of the deputies was the highest praise for him.
At the moment of the glorious coronation, ** responded with a smile, but after walking out of the venue, his expression was as deep as the sea, and he was silent along the way. In Building A, West Building, Zhongnanhai, his relatives, staff and staff were already full of expectations, but the face that greeted him was solemn, just nodded lightly, without too much smile, and quickly walked to the office.
This sudden calmness made the people around him a little confused, only Wang Guangmei silently looked at his back and sighed lightly in her heart.
Immersed in the world of work, condensed in contemplation between his closed brows, he smoked silently in his office, and his thoughts filled like clouds in the smoke. Since the Yan'an period, whenever he is absent from a leading position, he has bravely taken on heavy responsibilities and has been ordered to serve as the chairman of the Communist Party of China three times.
In the torrent of history, the Chongqing negotiations in 1945 were like a watershed at a critical moment. After the war, in order to prevent the resumption of civil war, the CCP decided to appoint *** to set foot in the mountain city in the name of peace.
On the occasion of being far away from Yan'an, on August 26, the top leaders of the Communist Party of China gathered to discuss the leadership responsibilities in the absence of the leader. After careful consideration, it was proposed to temporarily act as chairman of the Communist Party of China, and this proposal was unanimously trusted.
On the same day, the CCP decisively issued an order to clarify the role of the CCP during Mao's trip to Chongqing. This trip to Chongqing is full of dangers, ** insight into Chairman Jiang's intentions, prepare in advance for possible changes - in case of unfortunate detention or detention, all the burden will be shouldered by ***.
Such a decision demonstrates the wisdom and determination of the CPC leadership.
After ***'s absence, ** resolutely took on the heavy responsibility of ***. After difficult negotiations, Chiang Kai-shek reluctantly signed the "Peace Agreement" and achieved the desired goal.
During this period, he devoted himself wholeheartedly, taking into account the liaison with Chongqing and military deployments throughout the country, and tried his best to strive for the strategic initiative. At the end of the negotiations, ** returned to Yan'an, but due to extreme fatigue during the negotiations, he needed to recuperate.
Therefore, it was not until March 1946 that he officially returned to the front line of work.
At the end of 1949, he shouldered the national mission and was invited by the Soviet Union to embark on a historical journey. In the political event in November, before he set off, he was appointed to temporarily assume the responsibility of leader.
On December 6, ** flew to Moscow for a three-month diplomatic trip. In China, the new China is still in its infancy, and the clarion call of the Liberation War is still echoing in southwest and southern China.
He took the helm and led the land reform work to ensure the stability of the new regime with firm leadership. During this period, with his outstanding talents, he made great contributions to the stability and development of the early period of New China.
From 1953 to 1954, when he was on leave due to illness, he was ordered to not only be responsible for the drafting of the new constitution under the guidance of ***, but also presided over the overall situation at the **meeting of the Communist Party of China in his absence.
** not only led the Fourth Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, but also jointly promoted the revision of the Constitution in Hangzhou and contributed to the preparation of the National Congress. This marks the high level of trust in *** and *** in *** talents, and further establishes his core position in the party.
Therefore, becoming the first is the inevitable result of the unanimous election of the comrades in the party, and his election embodies widespread expectations. Wang Guangmei revealed why *** looked solemn when he was elected, and the story behind it is intriguing.
On December 29, 1958, ** sincerely recommended *** as the ideal candidate for ***, on the grounds that *** won the admiration and support of revolutionaries at home and abroad by virtue of his high prestige, outstanding ability and selfless dedication to the revolutionary cause.
The admiration and trust of the old comrades-in-arms are overflowing, and ** gives full recognition to this and praises **'s broad-mindedness. On the evening of April 27, the dust settled on the decision, and he was officially elected President of the People's Republic of China, and was elected Chairman of the National People's Congress.
When the announcement sounded, the representatives of the audience gave a standing ovation, smiling and tidying up his silver hair, standing side by side with the leaders of *** and other leaders, and accepting everyone's congratulations.
With the release of the communiqué, the whole country was immersed in joy, and people poured into the streets to celebrate this historic moment.
At a time when the joy of the election victory was pervasive, the unusualness of ** left a deep imprint on Wang Guangmei's memory. In the face of the congratulatory crowd and relatives, he only smiled lightly, and then quietly transferred to the office.
Then, Wang Guangmei walked in silently, sat quietly beside him, and gave support with wordless power. She knew very well that when everyone celebrated, the complexity of her heart was not revealed, and her silence was like a wisp of silent comfort.
**Always insist that every bit of trust given by the people is a heavy responsibility. As a leader, he knows that he is standing on the cusp of history, facing the country is still in the development stage, the rural problems are prominent, the economic structure is unbalanced, the people's lives are gradually in difficulty, the international situation is full of challenges, and the anti-China forces are eyeing the tiger.
This mission is like a heavy burden, and the slightest carelessness can crush people. However, with deep concern for people's livelihood, he is determined to write an excellent answer sheet worthy of the people's expectations with great determination and perseverance.
**After taking office as the country's leader, the hearts of relatives and friends quietly warmed up. Some of them mistakenly believe that the new position means a great increase in power, and they take it for granted that he will bring convenience to the family.
Relatives in his hometown are looking forward to the benefits of their relatives, and they have actively contacted him, through letters, intermediaries, and even trekking to the capital to seek internal recommendations and preferential treatment for a good job.
However, they may not understand that the responsibility on his shoulders is enormous, and the challenge he faces is how to put the national interest first, rather than his own selfish interests.
In the face of many challenges at home and abroad, they have not wavered, but the demands of relatives in their hometown have come one after another, which is indeed beyond the expectations of ***. In response to their pleas, he chose to remain silent.
However, after a long time, relatives inevitably became dissatisfied and questioned his actions: as a high-level **, he was unwilling to lend a hand, which was ruthless and disappointing.
The gossip gradually spread to the ears of ***, and he realized that it was necessary to resolve the misunderstanding with action. Therefore, after the National Day celebration, he broke the routine and did not take a lunch break in the private lounge of Zhongnanhai, but held a unique family chat in a small conference room, intending to have a communication of family affection and principles.
In the spacious conference room, family members and relatives gathered, whispering and guessing the intentions of ***. The appearance of ** instantly made the atmosphere solemn, he smiled and greeted, his eyes were like torches, and he slowly spoke: "This was a place for dignitaries to discuss important matters, which shows that I attach great importance to today's gathering. ”
He then asked, "Why did you bring us together?" After a pause, his gaze swept over everyone and went straight to the core: "This family meeting is aimed at properly handling our internal differences and contradictions. ”
His words were like a bolt from the blue, surprising those present. **Unabashedly, bluntly said: "Some people think that I am a prominent person, so they expect me to use my power and give them convenient ......."These candid words made some people's hearts unable to calm down, and their backs involuntarily tensed.
**Patiently respond to the requests of relatives one by one: find jobs, study in Beijing universities, and even hope to take root in Zhongnanhai and live a comfortable life. However, he was unable to meet all the expectations beyond his ability, which caused some dissatisfaction and complaints, and the faces of his relatives gradually became embarrassed and bowed their heads speechlessly.
** Strongly believe that, despite his ability to help his loved ones as head of state, this assistance must be based on adherence to principles, even if it means suffering a loss of honor.
He is well aware that as a member of the Communist Party, his power stems from the trust of the party and the people, and his primary task is to defend the interests of the party and the people, not his personal interests. If leaders use their power to benefit their loved ones, it will only make people question social justice and aspire to become part of powerful families.
Such an act would erode the credibility of the state, disintegrate the trust of the people, and jeopardize the stability of the regime. The room was so quiet at the moment that even the sound of needles hitting the ground could be heard clearly.
** Resolute in his steps, he elaborated: "Although life has improved, we still have to face the challenges and difficulties of the country. As prominent members of your family, you should lead by example and devote yourself to your work to build the nation together.
Remember, privilege should not be a reason to shirk responsibility, but because of this special status, we need to be strict with ourselves and refuse shortcuts. Please use my actions as a mirror to warn me, not help me to deviate. ”
His voice was solemn and expecting public scrutiny.
After the meeting, the relatives' request for help really decreased sharply, because *** practiced the good family style with practical actions. As the first of all, he purified himself, and always insisted on treating his position as an ordinary public service post and regarded himself as a loyal servant of the people.
At the gathering in October, he told Shi Chuanxiang, a cleaner in Beijing: "Your excrement work is to serve the people, and I am also serving the people as chairman." "Although the content of their work is very different, in the eyes of ***, their common mission is to pay for the revolution and the people.
In his heart, ** is not high or low with the dung digger, which vividly shows his concept of equality for the people after taking office.
With a focus on the prosperity of the country and the advancement of culture, he devoted himself to his work and fought the disease with tenacity - the pain of scapulitis did not stop him.
He persevered in the midst of storms and storms, pushed forward China's revolution and construction day after day, and left a profound imprint on the construction and development of New China. His expression is always serious, and he is not dignified when he is elected, just as the outside world praises him, whether it is war or peacetime, he always chooses the most difficult front line and takes on the heaviest responsibility. "
With great power comes great responsibility"This is not only his belief, but also the principle of his actions, which is deeply engraved in the course of his life.
Practice the way of being an official in a selfless spirit, and be a model of justice before and after being elected - a review of the news of the Communist Party of China.
