In 1967, **daughter met by chance**, and was just about to take a detour, **'face changed abruptly: Are you okay?
One autumn day in 1967, **'s daughters Deng Rong and Deng Lin left Zhongnanhai, but unexpectedly met ** who came back. The situation was a little awkward, and the two looked at each other and planned to take a detour. However, ** suddenly appeared in front of them, his face changed, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "Are Mao Mao and Deng Lin there?" Are they all okay? This sentence made Deng Rong and Deng Lin's hearts sour, but they tried to hold back their tears and replied, "Uncle, we're all okay......."”
The history of interaction with ** is quite special. Both of them are from Sichuan, have the same hometown habits, in their early years they were work-study students in France, and later they fought side by side in the revolutionary cause. In 1920, he bid farewell to his hometown and went to France to work and study, joined the Communist Party of China, and embarked on a revolutionary journey. ** came to France in 1919 to work and study, and like other Chinese students, he was exploited by capitalism, experienced the pain of dropping out of school and unemployment, and finally returned to China to join the revolution. After failing to study in the West, he strengthened his determination to devote himself to the cause of the Chinese revolution.
Although the two did not know each other when they were studying in France, their common study experience, similar encounters and common revolutionary ideals made them have a deeper friendship. The first time they met was in 1929, **went to Shanghai to report to ** the situation of the Red Fourth Army, **served as ** secretary general, and the two got acquainted. From the report, I learned a lot of experience in army building and operations of the Red Army, which was later applied to my own leadership practice.
After the end of the Long March, ** continued to follow the Red Army headquarters to the north, while ** stayed in the south to lead the troops to persist in guerrilla warfare. The close cooperation between the two contributed to the victory of the Huaihai and River crossing battles. In 1948, when the Liberation War entered a critical moment, ** and *** discussed and decided to transfer ** to work in the Central Plains. At that time, ** was faced with two situations that needed to be resolved, Liu Deng requested that ** be transferred to the Central Plains, and the East China Bureau also needed **, and finally ** made a compromise.
*After arriving in Zuoquan County, I was warmly received by ***. Not only did he give him a large number of documents to read and help, but he also prepared a fast horse and escort team to ensure a smooth arrival in Yan'an. Although the two were a little reluctant to separate, they still followed the orders of the organization and performed their respective duties.
They support each other in the revolutionary cause and make joint efforts to contribute to the cause of the Party and the people. 
** and *** wishes were fulfilled, and a unified command center was formed on the southern front. These three old friends from Sichuan finally got together to jointly lead the two major field armies, pushing coordination and cooperation to a higher level.
With the launch of the Huaihai Campaign, the Military Commission issued an order: the General Front Committee should be formed by *** and others, and ** should serve as a member of the Standing Committee.
**, the three of them are responsible for the planning and decision-making of the entire campaign, and at the same time directly command the specific actions of each column of the Central Plains Field Army. As a result, the three usually work closely together to make decisions.
After determining the battle plan for the annihilation of Huang Wei's corps, the burden on all three of them was reduced. ** said with a smile: "As a younger person and a little better health, I will be in charge of the night duty." Rest assured, maintaining a good physical condition and commanding the battle is the most important thing! * and ** smiled at each other, ** said, "But I can't leave it to you completely!" We need to keep working and resting, and you can't be solely responsible for night duty. * nodded, adding, "We are all old, and there may not be such a chance of Armageddon in the future." We have to work hard, play our part and get the job done together, and we can't leave you alone with all the responsibilities. ”
** Modestly said: "Big decisions still need to be made by two commanders, and we can work together to share the specific work." ”
With the close cooperation of the three, the Huaihai Battle ended successfully. Our army with 13At the cost of more than 40,000 people, the enemy army was annihilated by 55More than 50,000 people.
Subsequently, the three of them took advantage of the victory to pursue and commanded the battle of crossing the river. After the occupation of Nanjing, ** and ** entered Chiang Kai-shek's "** mansion" together.
Deng Rong met ** by chance, and wanted to bypass it, but was stopped by him: "Are you all right?" In 1952, he was transferred to work as Vice Premier of the Government Council; In 1954, he was also transferred to work as deputy prime minister. For 12 years, they have worked together to assist the prime minister and have relieved many burdens for the prime minister.
After 1957, **and** became neighbors, and the children of the two families also became good friends, and it became commonplace for each other to visit each other. However, this happy life did not last long......
In 1967, the ** family moved out of Zhongnanhai. One autumn morning, Deng Rong and Deng Lin went to Zhongnanhai to pick up things, and just after leaving Zhongnanhai, they met ** in the alley. Deng Rong recalled: "I was a little surprised when I saw Uncle Chen at that time. His former ruddy face had turned pale, and his kind smile had disappeared, which made my heart ache. ”
Deng Rong and Deng Lin hadn't seen ** for a long time, and they wanted to come forward to say hello, but when they saw ** with a serious face, they didn't bother it, so they planned to take a detour and leave. Unexpectedly, ** noticed them at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Maomao, Deng Lin, why are you here?" Deng Rong (nicknamed Mao Mao) said: "Uncle Chen, my sister and I came over to get something." *'s face changed abruptly and asked, "How are you, your father?" * The words of concern made the two sisters almost cry, Deng Rong held back tears and said, "Uncle Chen, we are all good, all right." * After hearing this, he nodded and said, "Okay, good, just be good." After saying that, he left slowly. Deng Rong didn't expect that this would be the last time they saw **.
In 1969, ** and Zhuo Lin were arranged to work in Jiangxi, and at this time**'s physical condition also began to deteriorate. He and his wife Zhang Qian came to Shijiazhuang to work. There, ** is visibly emaciated, has an aged complexion, and often feels abdominal discomfort. Later, under the persuasion of ***, he returned to Beijing on October 20, 1970 to accept **.
However, what ** didn't expect was that he was diagnosed with rectal cancer, and it was already at an advanced stage. Cancer was an extremely terrible disease at the time, and he had little chance of cure. Despite this, **did not give up**, but actively cooperated. He had 16 to 17 hours of infusions at a time, day in and day out.
After the operation, **went to visit him in the hospital,** smiled and said, "Wait for me**, there is still some work to be done......."However, **'s wish was never realized. On January 6, 1972, ** died of illness at the age of 70.
**After learning the news, he stood in place, recalling the past shared by the two, but he could no longer see the cheerful and laughing **......
