At the Ninth National Congress of the Communist Party of China on April 1, 1969, a member of the Politburo** had served for more than ten years, but he was deeply disappointed that he was not successfully re-elected at this meeting.
*As you know, you will not be elected to the Politburo. This can be traced back to the Huairentang Conference two years ago, when he and other veteran comrades stood up to resolutely defend the cause of the party and the country, and the reaction of the first was particularly resolute.
However, it was his determination that led him to be framed, which may have been the reason why he was not selected. *'s defeat made people feel that his situation was very difficult, and many people did not dare to contact him again.
During the whole meeting, **, who was usually optimistic and cheerful, became less talkative, and few people took the initiative to talk to him. Despite this, he still maintained the demeanor of a general, because he was still the deputy prime minister of ***, and although he was uncomfortable, he did not show pessimism and disappointment.
No one dared to come, so he simply didn't bother others, just attended the meeting normally.
During the intermission, ** sat still in place, reading the meeting documents intently. Suddenly, his old subordinate, Xu Shiyou, commander of the Nanjing Military Region, came over quickly and shouted, "Boss, why don't you get up and chat with me?" ”
Xu Shiyou was a subordinate of the first class during the revolutionary war years, especially during the Liberation War, Xu Shiyou achieved a series of victories under the command of Chen Su. Xu Shiyou's lofty ambition, the method of uniting comrades, and the style of getting along with officers and soldiers at all levels deeply influenced Xu Shiyou.
It can be said that Xu Shiyou is getting along with **, more and more admired, and more and more respectful.
At the meeting, Xu Shiyou's support for ** did not change, even if ** was in an embarrassing situation. Xu Shiyou chose to sit silently beside ** and expressed his support to the old chief with his own actions.
He gave him a *** medallion, and said with a smile: "Boss, don't always sit still, talk to me, I brought you a gift." Although ** is full of smiles, it may always be a mystery why Xu Shiyou gave him the chairman's medal on this occasion.
Although Xu Shiyou is at the grassroots level, he can sit next to the **, which is his trust and encouragement. Perhaps, he gave ** this medal to express ***'s high trust in him.
* Holding this special gift tightly, I expressed my heartfelt thanks to Xu Shiyou. Their handshake symbolized the deep affection between the revolutionary comrades-in-arms. At such an important meeting, only Xu Shiyou dared to come and shake hands with him, which was not only a manifestation of his courage and boldness, but also his loyalty to the revolutionary cause.
* I remember Xu Shiyou's heroic performance and care at the critical moment deeply, because he is a person who knows how to be grateful.
* The year of the evacuation to Shijiazhuang, China was facing serious international pressure, Sino-Soviet relations were strained, ** the whole army and the people of the whole country were prepared for a big battle.
As one of the leaders, he was also in this evacuation operation. Despite this, he still maintained a calm mind and expressed his gratitude to the comrades of the Zhongnanhai Management Office for their help, showing his usual humility and calmness.
In the upcoming war, he and his old comrades-in-arms will continue to play an important role.
* wanted to give Xu Shiyou a special gift, so he picked up a group photo from the table**, which was the first group photo of all members of the East China Military and Political Commission. He said to Xu Shiyou, this is for you, when you miss me, just look at this **.
He also said meaningfully: "Some of the people on the * have died, some have fallen, and only you are still at your post, but life is not easy." ”
* I have always been worried about Xu Shiyou in my heart, but I have no choice but to have a difficult life, and I can't help myself, which may be his regret.
