From 1945 to 1965, Yang Shangkun served as the director of the General Office of the Communist Party of China and was the general manager of Zhongnanhai's affairs
In his later years, he recalled his career as director of the Central Office of the People's Republic of China and said:"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, I basically played the role of 'listening to use'. Isn't there a 'listening' card that can be used as any kind of card in mahjong? The work of the chief of staff is also to 'listen to the use', and you will do whatever the party needs you. ”
On September 15, 1989, a symposium to commemorate the 90th birthday of Comrade Li Kenong was held in Beijing"I have been a filial son of your Li family three times! ”
Speaking of Li Kenong, this revolutionary is a man of the hour.
When it comes to the relationship between *** and Li Kenong, many old comrades in the party know that Li Kenong respects *** very much and *** trusts Li Kenong. His life and career are closely linked, but his personal life is also full of twists and turns.
In 1946, when the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party broke out, Li Kenong was urgently recalled to Yan'an and devoted himself to intense intelligence work. But at this time, his mother Zhan Hongzhen died, which made his heart like a knife. But at the critical moment of the revolution, Li Kenong could only hide his grief in his heart and continue to fight for the revolution.
At this difficult moment, Yang Shangkun stood up and shared the funeral of Li Kenong's mother like a friend. He carefully arranged all matters so that Li Kenong could continue his revolutionary work with peace of mind. This not only reflects Yang Shangkun's mind as a friend, but also shows the deep friendship between revolutionary comrades.
Fast forward to 1952, and Li Kenong's father, Li Zheqing, also died of illness. At that time, Li Kenong was serving as the party secretary of the Korean armistice negotiation delegation in Panmunjom, North Korea, and could not return to China.
*** who learned the news said: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve. ”He immediately asked Yang Shangkun to serve as the chief priest and handle the funeral with full authority.
When Zhao Ying told Li Kenong the bad news, he was grief-stricken, but when he learned that *** and other leaders were very concerned, he felt warm and moved.
In 1961, Li Kenong was hit again, and his wife Zhao Ying also died of illness. On January 9, a solemn memorial service was held in Beijing, and party and state leaders sent wreaths to express their condolences. And this memorial service is still Yang Shangkun officiating and laying wreaths.
In Li Kenong's life, Yang Shangkun is like his most solid backing and friend. Every time Li Kenong needed help, Yang Shangkun would not hesitate to lend a hand and share his pain and troubles.
This deep friendship and spirit of solidarity and mutual assistance not only gave Li Kenong warmth and strength, but also set an example for our society today.
