With his death, the United Nations flag was lowered to half-mast for the first time.
On a sunny day in May 1975, the Prime Minister walked in the courtyard, revealing a long-lost sense of relaxation. Despite his serious illness, he still shows a positive and indomitable spirit.
During the march, he suddenly turned his head and asked the medical staff around him with concern: "Don't hide it from me, tell me, how many days do I have left?" In the face of the Prime Minister's direct inquiry, the medical staff did not know how to answer for a while, so they could only reluctantly smile and comfort: "Prime Minister, you are in good physical condition, and we will do our best to delay the arrival of this day." ”
The paramedics did not give a clear answer, trying to respond to the prime minister's question in vague language. After hearing this, he shook his head with a smile and said self-deprecatingly: "You medical staff, don't I know my physical condition?" ”
He didn't stop walking, but continued to walk and enjoy the scene of the peach blossoms in the courtyard. When he saw this scene, ** stopped, sighed deeply, and said firmly: "I still hope you can tell me how much time I have left."
Because I still have a lot of unfinished work to hand over, I'm afraid I won't have enough time. ”
**, my beloved Prime Minister, you have led us through the storm, and now you are gone, and our hearts are full of reluctance and sorrow. You left three wills, the first of which is to scatter your ashes on the land of your motherland, and you have demonstrated your love and loyalty to your country with your actions.
The second and third points, although difficult for us to accept, but we know that this is your decision and we must respect it. With your departure, we have lost a great leader, but your spirit and influence will remain in our hearts forever.
We salute you, learn from you, follow your example, and work hard to achieve the prosperity and strength of our country.
* The leaders rushed to the hospital, and the first one to arrive was *** who had his last words before his death, and he did not want to be special after his death, and the funeral specifications were too large.
He thought that if the weather was too cold, the masses would be frozen. He took into account that most of his old comrades-in-arms were old and did not want them to be burdened. Deng Yingchao said that he has no personal opinion, and everything is decided by the organization, but he still hopes that the requirements of ** can be met.
However, ** was the first to stand up against it, believing that the prime minister had done his best for the motherland and the people all his life, and he could not fail to hold a memorial service. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Politburo held a meeting to discuss how to arrange the aftermath of ***.
Someone suggested that as the people and comrades-in-arms who were put in their hearts, it would not work without a memorial service. The eyes of everyone present were slightly red, and finally decided, ** The second and third wills could not be agreed.
* Hearing the news, he shed tears and called *** a real revolutionary.
* Affectionately ask your children: "Do you know the revolutionary process of the Prime Minister?" Do you know his persistence and dedication along the way? Zhu Min replied: "I know some, and by reading his memoirs, I deeply feel his greatness and influence." ”
*Fall into contemplation, count the stories of working day and night for the country and the people, and doing their best. In 1922, at the age of 36, he was in the position of the Kuomintang, and he was attracted by the spirit of the Communist Party and decided to join the Communist Party.
However, Li Dazhao rejected the application of ** because he valued his family background and believed that the Communists must have a clean background. ** Puzzled by this, although he was born as a warlord, he had defended Mr. Sun Yat-sen and fought against many warlords.
He didn't understand why Li Dazhao didn't accept him. In order to solve this doubt, ** decided to pursue the truth through learning and growth, and impress Li Dazhao with a new look.
When he heard that the Chinese Communist Party had created a revolutionary contingent in Germany, he did not hesitate to come to Germany. Here, he found one of the founders, although he was young, only 24 years old, but his vision and ability made him deeply admired.
* Straight to the point, he talked about who he was and what he wants now. Surprisingly, he didn't pay much attention to his past experiences, but rather his views on China's future development.
FigSpeaking of the Chinese Revolution, a strong zeal was shown. **Think** is an outstanding talent, so he convinces him to join the Communist Party and become a secret worker.
Without the guidance of ***, there would be no later **commander-in-chief. ** In 1937, he risked his life to negotiate with Chiang Kai-shek, hoping that he would stop the civil war and fight against Japan together.
On that day, the weather was cold, and before departure, **'s hands were red from the cold. Immediately put the blanket on the bed over him to protect his legs and hands from the cold.
**Declined his kindness, but**insisted: "You have to cover the warmth, you are negotiating on behalf of the Communist Party of China, don't get your legs frozen and numb on the road and walk unsteadily in front of Lao Jiang." ”
The people around couldn't help but laugh, but *** eventually accepted **'s kindness. However, about 1 hour after *** left, the news of his assassination came, and ** heard that his heart was in his throat, and he immediately organized a rescue team to pick up ***
It turned out that ** met dozens of bandits on the way. The guards were almost completely wiped out, and ** was in danger. At the critical moment, the personal guard of ** snatched the coat blanket of ***, draped it on himself, and led away the bandits alone.
The bandits mistook him for *** and chased after him.
Comrades-in-arms who depend on each other in life and death, precious souvenirs, and the recognition from the international community - * passed away, China lowered the flag at half-mast to mourn, and the United Nations lowered the flag at half-mast for the first time.
This special form of mourning, beginning in 1612 when the captain of the English ship "Haz Is" died, the crew lowered their flag halfway to pay tribute to the late captain, and gradually spread to the European continent and was used by various countries.
Today, regardless of borders, people can show respect and condolences for the deceased by flying the flag at half-mast.
Mr. Waldheim said: "I made the decision to fly the United Nations flag at half-mast after the death of the Premier of the People's Republic of China. There are two reasons, the first is that China is an ancient civilization with thousands of years of history and culture, and the wealth accumulated over thousands of years is countless, **As the prime minister of such a country, his bank deposits are open and transparent, and there is no private deposit!
Have the leaders of your country done it? In 1967, a couple was going to buy a house for 1£20,000 to the state, but not knowing who to put the money in.
After thinking about it, they finally decided to send it directly to *** with an anonymous letter attached. The young couple wrote in the letter: "Dear ***, I have remitted 1£20,000, which is the property we have saved over the years.
The country is going through difficult times, and we hope that this money will be used to build our society. Since we do not know how to get the money into the hands of the state.
As a last resort, we thought of you. You are the leader of our country and the person we trust. After receiving it, he was taken aback, and soon gave instructions: this is the people's assets, and the state cannot accept them, so immediately find the sender and return them.
This couple is Liu Benkun and Liu Daorui, and her husband Liu Benkun once worked with *** and was impressed by ***'s personality. Liu Daorui, who was originally a British national, later became a Chinese citizen and deeply loved the country.
Due to the restrictions at that time, the staff did not find a donor, so they had to deposit the money in the bank in the name of ***, and the deposit was 30 years. ** Death, the money is still untouched.
After 30 years, the bank found the couple and, according to the instructions of *** before his death, they should have returned it. But Liu Benkun and Liu Daorui never accepted it, and said: "Donation is donation, we can't take it back." ”
In the end, the two sides reached an agreement to use the money to set up a ** association to help people in need. Mr. Waldheim's second reason Mr. Waldheim said to the United Nations, the delegates of various countries: "* As a prime minister of a country, there is only one wife in his life, and he never leaves, and he is a model of husband and wife in the world.
** and Deng Yingchao have no biological children in their lives. What will your Führer, their wife do if she does not give birth to a child? You know better than I do. **The personality is great! ”
Once, ** was attending an international cocktail party. A foreign leader deliberately stepped forward and joked when he saw ***: "*I have long heard that China's *** is well-informed and has great taste.
I must have read countless women, I want to ask if you have ever seen the world's number one beauty? When he heard this, he smiled, and then said calmly: "I have seen too many people, but there is only one person who can really make me happy." ”
The audience was silent, and everyone was moved by ***'s words.
**The love story with Deng Yingchao can be called a good story in Chinese history. In the eyes of ***, the most beautiful woman in the world is his wife Deng Yingchao, no matter what outsiders think, he loves her deeply.
This kind of deep friendship is rare in the world. They have no children in their lives, but their love transcends blood ties and becomes the most important part of each other's lives.
This story tells us that true love knows no age, no gender, as long as there is love in the heart, you can overcome all difficulties.
In 1925, ** tied the knot with Deng Yingchao. A few months later, Deng Yingchao felt nauseous, vomited and lost his appetite at work. She is not sick, but a strong, independent woman.
She went to the hospital for a check-up and found out that she was pregnant. However, the news made her panic. At that time, the revolutionary work was just beginning, and she thought that the child had come at an inopportune time.
She was in her early twenties at the time, and she was very flustered about the sudden arrival of the child. ** She was leading the Eastern Expeditionary Army to defeat Chen Jiongming, and she was working alone in Guangzhou.
Deng Yingchao considered her work, and she felt that she did not have time to take care of her children. She decided to go secretly on her own. Deng Ying is super young, has no experience in childbirth, and doesn't know how much damage ** will cause to the body.
This decision became the most regrettable decision in Deng Yingchao's life. She bought ** medicine at the pharmacy on the street and took it when she got home. **The process was not smooth, Deng Yingchao was in pain at home.
She didn't dare to tell anyone, and only took a week's leave. Deng Yingchao's mother came to Guangzhou and learned about it, but it was too late. The mother wanted to blame Deng Yingchao, but when she saw her daughter's pale face, she couldn't bear it, so she could only adjust her damaged body through diet.
In November of the same year, Deng Yingchao came to Shantou to carry out women's work, and when she saw ***, she told him about it. Angry and anxious, he said: "How can children and revolutionary work be opposed?
The female comrades in the organization think like you, doesn't this deprive women of the right to be mothers? Why don't you discuss it with me? You are not responsible to yourself and your children. ”
In 1927, Deng Yingchao was about 22 years old and had become a powerful revolutionary figure. This year, Deng Yingchao was pregnant again, and the whole family was very happy.
Deng Yingchao and his mother came to Guangzhou to engage in revolutionary work and raise a baby at the same time. Deng Yingchao's due date came and she was admitted to the hospital because of dystocia. The fetus in Deng Yingchao's womb weighed nine pounds, and she gave birth in the hospital for three days and three nights, but she couldn't give birth.
At that time, medical technology was limited, and there were no caesarean sections and other means. Deng Yingchao was exhausted, his face was bloodless, and if he continued like this, both mother and son might be in danger.
FigDr. Deng Yingchao could only try to use forceps to assist in delivery, but the tired doctor accidentally used too much force and clamped the baby's head. The child came out successfully, but died.
At this time, Chiang Kai-shek staged a coup d'état and captured communists everywhere, and ** Deng Yingchao was also on the list. Deng Yingchao had to be discharged from the hospital immediately and took a ship to Shanghai.
As soon as he arrived in Shanghai, Deng Yingchao was sent to the hospital, and the doctor said that Deng Yingchao's body did not recuperate well during the confinement period, and the uterus did not contract, and there was a high probability that there would be no children in the future.
** Sorry for his wife, for the sake of her children, she experienced life and death twice and almost lost her life. Deng Yingchao was still in grief, ** comforted: "We can not have children, if you want, we will adopt."
You don't blame yourself too much, you're not wrong. So just like that, ** and Deng Yingchao had no children in their lives. On January 15, 1976, at 7 p.m., the memorial service for ** ended.
Deng Yingchao hugged the ashes of ***, cried bitterly, and said in a hoarse voice: "My Enlai, your wish is about to come true, you go well!" Everyone present was moved, they knew that this was the last time Deng Yingchao said goodbye to ***.
At 7:50 p.m., a car carrying ***'s ashes avoided the reporter and came to Tongxian Airport in the eastern suburbs of Beijing. **'s ashes were taken onto a plane, and the Air Force leaders came to see them off and watched them board.
At 8:15 p.m., Deng Yingchao watched the plane take off and fly into the air. Her eyes that had dried her tears could not stop crying again, and the ashes of her beloved husband were about to fall on the land of China with the wind.
The plane passed over the Miyun Reservoir, and Xu Conghuan, deputy squadron leader of the Air Force Transport Regiment, scattered some of the ashes. The plane came to the sky over Tanggu, Tianjin, where he learned to engage in revolution when he was young, and the staff scattered some of the ashes here.
FigThe last time the plane sowed the ashes, crossing the mountains, the Great Wall and the plains, leaving traces of the ashes in the north and south of China. At 12:45 a.m. the next day, the plane returned safely, marking the official end of the funeral.
