After Chairman Mao's death, Hua Guofeng immediately convened an emergency meeting of the Politburo in order to properly arrange the great man's funeral.
After careful discussion, two items were finally determined: "First, we must protect the remains of the great man; second, on the premise of protecting the remains of the great man, we must give the people the opportunity to express condolences and pay their respects to the remains of the great man."
The meeting also decided to set up a 16-member "Working Group for the Protection of Chairman Mao Zedong's Body", and the work started when it was established.

At 4 a.m. that day, a black car slowly parked in front of a row of gray houses in Zhongnanhai. Before the car could stop, two people quickly got out of the car, one of them It was the then Minister of Health Liu Xiangping, and the other was Xu Jing, a well-known medical expert in China.
After they got off the bus, they walked straight through the corridor, walked into a room, and met with Wang Dongxing, the director of the Central General Office who had been waiting for a long time.
When the two sides met, they went straight to the topic. Wang Dongxing asked, "Are you Comrade Xu Jing?"
Xu Jing said, "I am." I have unfortunate news to convey to you that our great leader Chairman Mao passed away in the early hours of the morning. In order for the people of the whole country to have the opportunity to pay their respects to Chairman Mao's appearance, we need to protect Chairman Mao's body! Our task is very heavy."
According to Xu Jing's memory in her later years, the air seemed to be stagnant at that time. After hearing the news of the great man's death, her head buzzed and she almost sat on the ground. Listening to Wang Dongxing's words.
(In 1963, Chairman Mao Zedong and Wang Dongxing took a photo)
Then, Wang Dongxing took the two into Chairman Mao Zedong's bedroom. in the center , covered with a white quilt from head to toe.
Xu Jing gently walked to the bed, she slowly lifted the quilt from the side, carefully observed the body, and after obtaining the chairman's height and body condition After waiting for the information, she put the towel back on and quickly walked out of the house.
At 10 in the morning, Xu Jing and her assistants rushed back to Zhongnanhai on time with medicines and equipment, and then met Hua under the leadership of the then director of 305 Hospital. Guofeng.
Hua Guofeng was discussing the work plan in a small room next to the chairman. After Xu Jing and his party entered the room, the meeting was immediately quiet.
Wang Dongxing motioned them to sit down and suggested Xu Jing to talk about the body protectionplan, Xu Jing explained the plan, implementation steps, and emergency response measures in detail, and answered everyone's questions in detail.
Suddenly, Zhang Chunqiao stood up, with one hand behind his back and one finger at Xu Jing, he said, "How old are you? grasp? "
Xu Jing replied calmly: "We are confident and experienced in preserving the remains, but the preservation of Chairman Mao's remains is very different. It must be lifelike and also for the people to admire. We have not done it, nor have we done so. Experience, we can only try to explore."
Hua Guofeng finally said: "It is a glorious, important and arduous task to protect Chairman Mao's body for a long time and let the people pay their respects from generation to generation. You must complete this task well. Will not forget you! The future work will be done according to your plan! "
After being approved, Xu Jing and other staff began to carry out meticulous antiseptic treatment. They first disinfected Chairman Mao's room, and then injected some preservative such as formalin into the body.
Since then, they have been guarding the body, recording the color and elasticity of the body's skin in detail, and even recording each line. The work continued until the middle of the night on the 10th.
2. New situation in the memorial service The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to start a mourning event for the remains on September 11. At the request of experts, all air-conditioning equipment should be turned on during the mourning process. The temperature played a role in protecting the remains, but everyone keenly observed that there was an endless stream of condolences, and the mournful music of the day was played by the People's Liberation Army on the spot, and the lights in the house were dazzling, resulting in the high temperature at the scene, and the situation was very Critical.
Hua Guofeng immediately notified the relevant personnel to discuss the matter together. He said solemnly: "The temperature in the hall is very high now, which is not conducive to the protection of the remains. Are there any measures that can be taken? "
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Qing and Zhang Chunqiao of the "Gang of Four" said, "First suspend the condolences, and then use photos instead of the remains!" "This move is a denial of Chairman Mao's great achievements, and it is also contrary to the will of the people. Everyone is unanimously opposed, and the atmosphere at the scene is very tense.

According to Xu Jing recalled in her later years that the air at that time seemed to be stagnant. After hearing the news of the great man's death, her head buzzed and she almost sat on the ground.But she knew that she must not fall down now because of her heavy responsibility, so she listened carefully to Wang Dongxing's words.

"This move is a denial of Chairman Mao's great achievements, and it is also contrary to the will of the people. Everyone is against it, and the atmosphere at the scene is very tense.
Finally, it was unanimously decided that in the follow-up condolence activities, the audience will use speakers to play sad music. A layer of glass coffin is installed on the body, and a cooling system is installed inside, and the active lights are controlled at the same time.Avoid direct contact between lights and Chairman Mao's body.
This decision was quickly implemented. During the 17-day investigation, Chairman Mao's body was well protected, all of which were inseparable from the joint efforts of everyone.
(picture of making the glass coffin)
This "airborne" glass coffin also has a moving story. According to Han Boping's recollection, the request for the glass coffin was very urgent. They only had less than one day. Unable to manufacture, they can only find ready-made ones.
First of all, they thought of the glass coffin that the Soviet Union gave to Mr. Sun Yat-sen in 1924, but the glass coffin has been stored for more than 50 years, and Mr. Sun Yat-sen is short and does not match Chairman Mao's stature, so it cannot be used.
Afterwards, they found , a glass panel manufacturer in Beijing, but their longest panel was only 1.6 meters, and they actually needed 2.2 meters. When
delivered the news of Chairman Mao's death and the central government's request, the workers and cadres of the factory were united.
(Chairman Mao Zedong in a glass coffin)
htmlOn September 13, the factory workers sent the glass coffin to the North Hall of the Great Hall of the People, and then placed the chairman's body in the coffin, which is of great significance to the protection of Chairman Mao's body.
After the condolence work was over, Chairman Mao's body was moved to a place code-named "769". After reaching "769", the body was quickly soaked in a special medicinal solution.
This special medicinal liquid draws on the medicinal liquid found in the tomb of Mrs. Xin Zhui in Mawangdui .Has a strong antiseptic effect.
3. Before and after the establishment of the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall
(1) Chairman's wishes
In April 1956, during the Central Work Conference, Mao Zedong hoped to be cremated after his death, and took the lead in signing the "Cremation Proposal", he signed After that, Peng Dehuai, Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, Deng Xiaoping and 151 people also signed their names one after another.
In 1963, Marshal Luo Rongheng died, and 70-year-old Mao Zedong was in a low mood for a few days after attending the funeral.
One day, Mao Zedong called the doctorWu Xujun, and took the initiative to chat about the topic of life and death. During the chat, he took the initiative to tell the doctor about the death of his mother, showing the soft side of this great man.
The next day, he once again expressed his desire to be cremated to Wu Xujun, and he said humorously: "After I die, I must be cremated, and at my memorial service, you don't have to be restrained, and you don't have to dress in colorful clothes. Yes."
"I like to eat fish. After I am cremated, you should scatter my ashes into the Yangtze River to feed the fish. As you sprinkle, you should say to the fish: fish, Mao Zedong loved to eat fish before his death, and now he You can eat the ashes, you can eat fat to serve the people.” After listening to this, Wu Xujun and other workers did not agree to cremation, Mao Zedong said solemnly at this time: “I have made up my mind, and I also have the previous advocacy letter. After signing the signature, I still ask for cremation, and it will be of great benefit for you to do so, and leaving my remains will increase the burden on the people.”
It should be said that Mao Zedong himself had an open-minded mentality and a materialistic view of life and death, so he had a great deal of concern about death. Very calm.
But as a leader who led 40 million people out of the darkness, the light of communism, the eternal commemoration of Mao Zedong,It is also of great significance that thousands of people can look at his remains and be baptized like daigo, so preserving his remains is of invaluable significance.
(2) Construction of Memorial Hall
(Chairman Mao Memorial Hall)
Therefore, while the memorial service is going on, the Party Central Committee has also been planning the construction of Chairman Mao Memorial Hall.
One day after Chairman Mao's death, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the National People's Congress and other institutions jointly decided to build a memorial hall for the great man, and established a construction working group. The first task of the
team was site selection. They have researched many places and designed more than 30 different schemes in the past two months, and finally submitted them to the office. One of the solutions in
is built on top of Xiangshan . Some experts believe that Chairman Mao once commanded the People's Liberation Army to march across the country here, and a memorial hall can be built on the mountainside, so that the whole city can be seen from a distance, which means that Chairman Mao has always been watching the development of Beijing and the country.
However, Xiangshan is far away from Beijing and the traffic is inconvenient, so this plan was rejected.
There is another plan that is built in Jingshan, but after many careful discussions, this plan may cause damage to the ecological environment, so this plan was also rejected.
After many consultations and discussions, everyone agreed that Chairman Mao was a great leader of the communist class. He was approachable all his life, came from the masses, and went to the masses. Therefore, his memorial hall should be close to the masses.
Tiananmen in the capital is the political activity center of the people of the whole country, and Chairman Mao announced the founding of New China here, which is very political.
The traffic development of Tiananmen, so it can reduce the work intensity and save the construction cost,Less construction pressure on the people.
(Hua Guofeng started the project commencement ceremony)
Therefore, as decided by the central government, Chairman Mao Memorial Hall will be built in Tiananmen Square , According to the instructions, a large number of top engineers and business backbones in the industry will gather in Beijing.
(Photos of the Memorial Hall's Construction Start)
On November 24, 1976, more than 8,000 workers, cadres and soldiers participated in the construction of the Memorial Hall.
Experts and scholars from eight provincial capital cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Guangdong, etc., gathered together to study the design of the memorial hall.
(Experts and scholars discuss the construction plan)
All provinces and cities across the country donated special properties for the construction of the memorial hall. Millions of people in Beijing participated in the labor voluntarily. In less than half a year, the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall was completed ahead of schedule, and domestic and foreign newspapers contended. It is reported that it is solemn and solemn, and it is worthy of being a great building of the times.
(3) "Project No. 1"
During Chairman Mao's memorial service, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was soberly aware: "It is not technically difficult to protect the remains of the great man during the more than ten days of the memorial service. The world's top technology is needed to preserve the remains of the corpse for a long time."
In the world at that time, only the remains of the top leaders of Lenin, Bulgaria , Vietnam have been preserved, and their preservation technology, especially the manufacturing technology of crystal coffins It is a state secret. Our country wants to learn from the scriptures, but they are all rejected by them.
It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. The protection of the remains must race against time. At this time, many factories in the country are working together.The production of the crystal coffin is planned to be completed within a year.
(photo of crystal coffin manufacturing)
05 branch is responsible for the main body manufacturing of the crystal coffin, Shanghai Xinhu Glass Factory and Jinzhou 's 115 factory are responsible for the bottom and side panels of the crystal coffin.
According to the design, the crystal coffin needs to be 2.2 meters long, 1 meter wide and 10 mm thick. However, there are few natural crystals in my country, and the high-quality rate is less than 10%. The largest piece is 30-40 cm, and crystals over two meters are rare in the world.
The processing of artificial crystal is also very difficult. Only a few companies in the world can make large crystal panels, and the production of two-meter-long crystal panels is a difficult problem in the world at that time.
After unanimous negotiation, everyone decided to use natural crystal to smelt and weld into a large crystal board .
05 factory old mechanic Xu Zhaocai overcame the welding problem with excellent professional skills. Under the high temperature of 2000 degrees, he wore protective clothing and held a spray gun to complete the welding at the moment when the crystal melted. Due to the high temperature, his protection Smoke was coming from the burnt suit, and someone poured water on him, and the conditions were very difficult.
In the end, with everyone's efforts, a small crystal plate of about 20 cm was finally tempered into a large crystal plate with a length of more than 2 meters and a width of more than 1 meter. The purity of these crystal plates reached 99.9999%. Humans can produce it.
(the worker who makes the crystal board)
Although the length and width of the
are up to standard, it is also a difficult problem to thin the thickness of the of the crystal board.
The hardness of crystal products is second only to diamond, but it has almost no toughness and is easily crushed. Therefore, a one-meter-diameter, heavy-duty grinding disc is required for repeated careful grinding. When
is ground, the temperature of the crystal board can reach 80-100 degrees Celsius,Once it is cold, it will explode, and after the crystal board reaches the standard, it needs to be spliced to ensure that the multiple boards are tightly connected when they are connected together.
Our great workers and soldiers overcame many problems. At that time, the aftershocks of the Tangshan earthquake continued. Aftershocks occurred during work. The whole factory swayed from side to side, and things fell one after another. These respectable workers and soldiers put down their work and climbed Go to the workbench and lie down on the crystal plate gently, thinking only that the glass will not be smashed.
Finally, Chairman Mao's crystal coffin was completed as scheduled. It seems to have a simple structure, but the process is quite complicated and involves many technical fields. After experiments, the crystal coffin can resist earthquakes of magnitude 8, and can also resist wars, losses and many other emergencies. .
What is the force that sustains these great worker warriors? It is out of love and admiration for Chairman Mao; it is also out of the responsibility to pass on Chairman Mao's thought from generation to generation.
After countless people's hard work day and night, the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall was completed in May 1977 and officially opened to the public on the first anniversary of the death of the great man (September 9, 1977).
(Chairman Memorial Hall)
The memorial hall at this time embodies the wisdom of countless ancestors, and is a beacon that leads people to build political civilization. Under the unified guidance of Mao Zedong's spirit, the strong cohesion of the Chinese nation is the Chinese dragon. centripetal force.
(4) The Great Men's Guards
Everyone thinks that the guards of the memorial should be the armed police forces that are fully armed and live ammunition. In fact, both are well-disciplined troops, and they can perform their tasks very well, but the main difference is the focus of the two sides.
The main responsibility of the Chinese People's Armed Police is to undertake domestic security work.The PLA mainly protects national security externally.
The People's Liberation Army was born in the Nanchang Uprising on August 1, 1927. At that time, its name was: The Chinese Workers and Peasants' Revolutionary Army . In the subsequent revolution and construction process, Chairman Mao's painstaking efforts and superb military command were inseparable ability. It can be said that without Mao Zedong, there would be no later People's Liberation Army .
The People's Liberation Army is mainly responsible for defending the integrity of the country's territorial sovereignty, defending the homeland and defending the country, and fighting externally during wars. Of course, in addition to wars, whenever there is a need for them in the country, they will stand at the fastest speed and without shirk. at the forefront.
Regarding the armed police, it was established in June 1982. The history of this team is 50 years later than that of the People's Liberation Army. It is a new force. If we trace its origins earlier, its predecessor was actually the Chinese People's Public Security Bureau, which was built two months before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
However, when the memorial hall was established, the Armed Police had not been formally established, so this sacred task fell on the shoulders of the People's Liberation Army.
Plus, Chairman Mao is a beacon of political and spiritual civilization in our country, and a symbol of communist ideology in the world. He represents the dignity of the country and the nation internally, and is also a symbol of the will of the country externally. Therefore, to be harsh, defend Chairman Mao's memorial. It also falls under the purview of the People's Liberation Army.
Concluding remarks: We would like to thank Chairman Mao for leading us to achieve national independence and national unity, and also to the anonymous workers, scientific researchers and the masses, it is they who make our life richer, and we also thank every soldier, it is Their sacrifices have brought us back to a comfortable and quiet life.
No matter how "incompetent" Chinese weapons are, it is to protect us, and no matter how "powerful" foreign weapons are, they are also to attack us.Hope we will love our country, soldiers and people!

In the subsequent revolution and construction process, Chairman Mao's painstaking efforts and superb military command were inseparable ability. It can be said that without Mao Zedong, there would be no later People's Liberation Army .
The People's Liberation Army is mainly responsible for defending the integrity of the country's territorial sovereignty, defending the homeland and defending the country, and fighting externally during wars. Of course, in addition to wars, whenever there is a need for them in the country, they will stand at the fastest speed and without shirk. at the forefront.
Regarding the armed police, it was established in June 1982. The history of this team is 50 years later than that of the People's Liberation Army. It is a new force. If we trace its origins earlier, its predecessor was actually the Chinese People's Public Security Bureau, which was built two months before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
However, when the memorial hall was established, the Armed Police had not been formally established, so this sacred task fell on the shoulders of the People's Liberation Army.
Plus, Chairman Mao is a beacon of political and spiritual civilization in our country, and a symbol of communist ideology in the world. He represents the dignity of the country and the nation internally, and is also a symbol of the will of the country externally. Therefore, to be harsh, defend Chairman Mao's memorial. It also falls under the purview of the People's Liberation Army.
Concluding remarks: We would like to thank Chairman Mao for leading us to achieve national independence and national unity, and also to the anonymous workers, scientific researchers and the masses, it is they who make our life richer, and we also thank every soldier, it is Their sacrifices have brought us back to a comfortable and quiet life.
No matter how "incompetent" Chinese weapons are, it is also to protect us. No matter how "powerful" foreign weapons are, they are also designed to attack us. I hope we will love our country, soldiers and people!
