On January 8, 1976, the beloved Prime Minister died of illness in the 305 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army at the age of 78. As early as 1972, he was diagnosed with bladder cancer, and the medical conditions at that time were almost impossible for this disease, which also made the outcome of his death almost inevitable.
At the last moment of his life, the prime minister, who knew that his time was short, made a distressing decision, he chose to give up being bedridden**, hoping to dedicate his life to the country.
Despite his frailty, he remained at work until he fell ill in 1974, when he remained concerned about his country. Before dying, he made a heart-wrenching request to his lifelong wife, Deng Yingchao, that is, to donate his body to the hospital for medical research.
For the premier's decision, although Deng Yingchao was heartbroken, she still tearfully agreed. On the afternoon of January 8, 1976, three hours after the Prime Minister's death, his body was sent to the autopsy room for study.
However, when the autopsy results came out, Deng Yingchao couldn't help but burst into tears when he looked at the shocking words. The Prime Minister has devoted his whole life to the country and the people, and even at the last moment of his life, he still cares about the country and hopes to dedicate his life to medical research and contribute to the country's medical cause.
His spirit and sentiments will always be remembered in our hearts.
Although the outside world portrays Prime Minister as a strong and tough image, in fact, his body has had health problems many years ago. In 1966, when he was working in the office, he suddenly felt a "sense of pressure" in his heart, and the doctor diagnosed him with "coronary arteriosclerotic heart disease" and needed more rest, but the prime minister did not take it to heart, and always put the well-being of the people first, and insisted on working at his post until the last moment of his life.
His spirit is admirable, and it also warns us to pay attention to our physical health and timely illness.
** Working hours up to more than ten hours, more diligent than many young people. In February 1967, he insisted on 84 hours without sleep at the Canton Fair for the smooth running of the event, and was finally sent to the hospital in a coma due to heart disease.
This incident left his body ten years old overnight. He had planned to write an inscription on the National Day of that year as a souvenir, but he could not hold the pen due to his trembling hands, so he had to give up.
In daily life, you need to rely on simple oxygen equipment and specific drugs for heart disease to maintain your physical condition. Although he has always maintained a calm image in public, in private, his physical condition has become very weak.
Years of hard work have taken a permanent toll on his body. Despite this, whenever someone cares about his body, he always waves his hand and says: "It's normal for people to be sick, it's good, there's nothing to be sad about." ”
**Bladder cancer was diagnosed during a physical examination in May 1972, and at that time there was no effective method for cancer at home and abroad, and the best option was to delay the spread of cancer cells through drugs and surgery.
However, when it was learned that the surgery might leave him in a hospital bed forever, **decided to give up**. He understands that since he can't, he doesn't need to see a doctor anymore.
Devote the rest of your time to busier work, even while talking to other state leaders, with a first-aid team on one side of the room, ready to help.
By 1974, **'s condition deteriorated further, and he was forced to move to the 305 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army. Although he still handles work when he is awake in his hospital bed, his greatest wish is to realize the return of Taiwan in his lifetime and leave a complete China for future generations.
Helplessly, God did not give him this time. As time goes by, the cancer cells in the body spread more and more violently, and the cancer cells have spread throughout the bladder, causing heavy bleeding every day.
The blood clots into a clot in the body, blocking the urethral opening, causing great pain every time you urinate. The torture of the disease caused *** to lose weight sharply, and he lost only 61 pounds, and the doctor could see a protruding lump in his abdomen only through visual inspection, which is where the cancer cells gathered.
The cancer has reached the point where it is impossible to **, and the spread of cancer cells is beyond the control of doctors. **I feel pain all over my body every day, flesh, organs, and bones are all painful, like being smashed with a hammer.
To alleviate his pain, the doctor prescribed a large number of painkillers and *** to keep him in a comatose state. But as the disease penetrated the bone marrow, these drugs could no longer suppress his pain.
The doctors of the 305 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army reluctantly admitted: At this moment, they have been unable to carry out effective *** and have completely failed.
In the face of the self-blame of the medical staff, ** did not pay much attention to it. He only has deep concern for his wife Deng Yingchao in his heart, and hopes to spend the last moments of his life peacefully with her.
In the last stage of his life, it became very difficult to even speak, even with his beloved Deng Yingchao, he couldn't communicate. In the last days of December 1975, perhaps the last glory of his life, ** miraculously woke up from a coma, and Deng Yingchao was sleeping soundly next to his bed.
I couldn't bear to wake her up, just silently holding her hand and staring at my lover. After a long time, when Deng Yingchao woke up, she tried her best and said to her: "I think there are still a lot of things I haven't told you." ”
Deng Yingchao smiled and said, "Me too." Then she replied sadly, "Then take them all." ”
The prime minister spoke again after the break and entrusted Deng Yingchao with an important matter: "After I pass away, please hand over my body to the doctors for autopsy research, this is my last contribution to the country." ”
Deng Yingchao nodded tearfully, understanding that this was the prime minister's last words. The Prime Minister continued: "My funeral does not need to be carried out in a big way, just let my ashes be scattered on the mountains and rivers of my country, this is my last request." ”
With that, the prime minister fell into a coma of exhaustion. Deng Yingchao immediately called a doctor and connected the prime minister with a life-sustaining machine and nutrient solution.
When saying goodbye to the medical staff around you, say gratefully, "Thank you, now that I'm fine, you should take care of those who need you more." ”
Two weeks later, on January 8, the Prime Minister died in hospital at the age of 78. In order to understand the physical condition of the premier, Deng Yingchao asked the doctor to perform a medical autopsy in accordance with the premier's last wishes.
According to the report, every inch of the prime minister's body is covered with cancer cells, and all organs have failed to varying degrees, which is almost impossible to survive from a medical point of view.
One cannot imagine how much pain the prime minister endured on his deathbed. Deng Yingchao looked at the report and couldn't help shedding tears, feeling extremely sad. The doctors arranged the remains and prepared for the cremation of the prime minister, who was required to change into the life clothes of the deceased according to the funeral process.
As early as many years before *** passed away, he once said that he would not make new clothes after he left. Therefore, after the death of the Prime Minister, people can only rummage through the Prime Minister's closet, hoping to find a suitable piece of clothing.
Surprisingly, despite a long search, I never found a satisfactory garment. Some of the clothes were too old, others had patches, and in the end, one could only find a relatively good piece of clothing, which was the best of all the prime minister's clothing, but unfortunately, there were some frayed gaps in the cuffs and neckline.
Dr. Han Zongqi is the one who found that the prime minister was not wearing new clothes and decided to pay for them himself. When he heard Premier Deng Yingchao's last wish, he was deeply moved and cried uncontrollably.
On January 11, 1976, the day of the cremation ceremony, Beijing citizens spontaneously took to the streets to see off the prime minister. When the prime minister's coffin was about to be pushed into the crematorium, Deng Yingchao cried bitterly and shouted: "Enlai, I will never see you again......"This is a touching farewell, a deep nostalgia for the Prime Minister, and a deep emotion for the impermanence of life.
On January 15, 1976, the urn of ** was handed over to the PLA Air Force, and according to his instructions before his death, it was scattered in the sky. Before the plane was about to take off, the guard in charge of scattering asked Deng Yingchao if she needed to leave some ashes as a memorial.
Deng Yingchao was silent for a while, and finally decided to respect the prime minister's last wish: "On this road, let you accompany him." So, on the morning of the same day, the plane sowed the ashes of *** four times in the air over Beijing, Miyun Reservoir, Haihe River, and the mouth of the Yellow River.
The ashes in the sunlight shimmered like fine sand, and disappeared into the air in an instant, leaving only endless thoughts.
The ashes fell, ** has returned to the mountains and rivers, and his figure will always be in every mountain, river, lake and sea in the motherland. His dedication, like a beacon illuminating the land of China, will never be extinguished.
He spent his life practicing the ideal of seeking happiness for the people, and even at the last moment of his life, he resolutely did not add the slightest burden to the people. In "How Steel is Made", Paul once said: "The most precious thing in life is life, and everyone only has one chance."
We should make our lives full of meaning, look back on the past without regrets, and face the future without shame. *'s life is a true portrayal of this sentence.
Although ** is fictional, ***'s life is undoubtedly the most real and vivid example of reality.
