On October 1, 1949, a solemn announcement was made from the towers of Tiananmen City, indicating that this country will bid farewell to the turmoil of a hundred years. "The Chinese people have stood up"-it is Mao Zedong who represents the Chinese nation's voice to the world.
After the test of history, Mao Zedong stepped onto the stage of history. He combined Marxism-Leninism with China’s actual national conditions and clarified the direction of China’s development. After going through hardships, he and many Communist Party People together created a new China. Why can the Communist Party create a new China? Marxism, Lenin Thought, and Mao Zedong Thought are the foundation for China's rejuvenation and success.
Mao Zedong, as a well-tested leader of the Chinese Communist Party, was elected as the chairman of the country in 1949. As the first chairman of the People’s Republic of China, Mao Zedong lived up to expectations and stabilized the country’s situation in the first decade. The country has brought major construction projects, promoted reforms, and improved people's livelihood, and has outstandingly demonstrated the foresight of a generation of grand strategists in various tasks.
In this article, let’s take a look, after Mao Zedong’s first ten-year term ends, who can take his class? In the end, who became the second chairman of New China?
In 1949, facing the moment when China was in a state of desperation, Chairman Mao was 56 years old at the time. As a politician, he was at a very young age. Counting from the creation of the Communist Party of China in 1921, he has revolutionized for 28 years and has tasted the hardships and hardships on the revolutionary road. As an ideal new generation of revolutionaries, he held high the banner and worked hard for the motherland. The 28 years of hard work finally ushered in this moment. If ordinary people face this moment, they should feel that the big event is over and they should enjoy the treatment. As the founding leader of the country, Chairman Mao did not dare to relax.
When entering Beijing from Xibaipo in Hebei Province,He reminded himself, as well as his revolutionary comrades and teams, "We are going to Beijing to rush for the exam, and we will never be Li Zicheng"! After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, he was always more cautious. He knew that his responsibilities were heavy and that China was far from being out of danger, and they needed to work harder.
During the ten years from 1949 to 1959, Mao Zedong completed his work conscientiously. In these ten years, China has completed the transformation of socialism and its economy has won rapid development. From resisting the US to aid Korea and defending the country, the Korean War To the "First Five-Year Plan," every major strategic decision is indispensable for Chairman Mao's hard work and thinking day and night.
After ten years of struggle, Chairman Mao came to the first 10 years of his becoming chairman. This time is what he has been looking forward to. He almost surrendered his whole life to the revolution and the party. Suddenly looking back, he has also begun to gray hair, ten years after the founding of the country, he is also sixty-six years old.
Seeing that China is already on track under his leadership, he has also begun to want more young, younger and more pioneering spirits to come up and take over national government affairs. Chairman Mao is an active, decisive, vigorous and vigorous person, and he never procrastinates in his work. Everyone is also very accustomed to his way of doing things. He is a great politician who transcends the times in Chinese history. His unique insights and ideas are often difficult to understand at the same time, but his understanding is very correct after the development of time.
But even after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, when the prestigious Chairman Mao put forward his own ideas, other comrades often put forward some opinions and suggestions, mainly for two reasons. One is that Chairman Mao, as the chairman of the country, has a major task, and many ideas need to be discussed within the party. Second, Chairman Mao has some ideas that are far-sighted, and his forward-looking vision is not understood by many people.
1955,Chairman Mao proposed to step down as chairman at the party group meeting and let a younger person be the chairman of the country. This sparked a round of discussion in the group. At that time, no one could know who could replace Chairman Mao's position in the eyes of the Chinese people.
At that time, Chairman Mao was the most important spiritual and practical leader of the country. His historical status and actual position could not be replaced by others. After Chairman Mao's request, the party group still approved this statement.
In 1957, Chairman Mao mentioned this in his speech while communicating with important figures inside and outside the party. Everyone thought that Chairman Mao was just talking about it, because everyone saw that Chairman Mao was in good health, and at that time, the country needed a leader like Mao Zedong who could handle problems reasonably.
In 1958, Chairman Mao officially issued a statement that he decided to resign as the chairman of the country and retain only the chairman of the party. According to him, on the one hand, it can save time to do things for the party, on the other hand, it can save time, and it is also very good for my health.
This decision caused a great shock at the time, and many leaders and party members from Zhou En to the lower levels expressed opposition to it.
However, Mao Zedong insisted that his views remain unchanged. Many people also know that Chairman Mao has always acted decisively and does not stick to fixed patterns. After Chairman Mao’s repeated insistence, the party organization finally compromised a step backward, that is, the party decided to create the position of "honorary chairman" to be held by Mao Zedong. In fact, Chairman Mao didn't care about these reputations. As early as 1955 when the PLA was awarded the title, Mao Zedong resolutely rejected the rank of "General Marshal".
From when Chairman Mao joined the revolution in his twenties to the establishment of the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, Mao Zedong can be said to have witnessed the entire process of the Chinese revolution and also led the development of the Chinese Communist Party.He is inseparable from the Communist Party, and it is the bottom line that the party members agree that Chairman Mao cannot be separated from the position of chairman of the party.
Mao Zedong, who had wanted to withdraw from his position since 1955, had made preparations in 1959. At the Second Plenary Session of the National People's Congress, Mao Zedong announced at the meeting that he would withdraw from the post of chairman of the country. So, if Chairman Mao resigns as the chairman of the country, who will do it? Who can lead the Chinese people? What is Chairman Mao doing when he has a good time in life?
Life is long and long, and short and short. Many people lament that time goes by too quickly. Chairman Mao loves learning all his life, from his youth “swearing to become famous and not repaying”, to the student and his youth “to hitting the water in the middle of the water and the waves to contain the flying boat”, and then to the youthful spirit of “Womeng majestic walking through the mud pill”. Then come to the middle-aged memory of "the fierce war in those days", when Mao Zedong was close to old age, he recalled that year, "ten thousand years is too long, and we can only fight for the day and night" and only hate that time is too rushed.
Mao Zedong loved reading all his life. During the war, he avoided the bombardment of artillery and planes while studying hard to study China's future development direction. In order to be able to squeeze out more time, he almost often sits on his desk for a half-day.
After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the country is facing a state of “one poor and two white”. The country’s government and military affairs are busy, making Chairman Mao more than half a century harder and more tired. As chairman of the country, Chairman Mao is already busy with his work. In addition, he has to understand the people’s livelihood of the whole country, and the industrialization and agricultural reforms of the whole country. There are a lot of things, and it is not easy to handle it properly. .
In order to save time, Chairman Mao always handles government affairs in his study. His study is in the corner of Zhongnanhai, where he lives and works. He named Juxiang Bookstore. According to normal regulations,Chairman Mao could have his own house in Beijing, but Chairman Mao insisted that he wanted to live in his own study room. Many old party members and leaders would not be able to persuade them.
Chairman Mao has a salary of more than 500 yuan per month. Although he is diligent and frugal, the cost of renting a house alone will cost more than 100 yuan, and he often has to help friends, relatives, and friends who have been in the revolution for many years. Fortunately, comrades and comrades, his "Selected Works of Mao Zedong" sells well at home and abroad, especially the overseas manuscript fees subsidize Mao Zedong's expenditure. Otherwise, Chairman Mao's salary will never be enough.
Since he became the national chairman, Chairman Mao has been very cautious about power. He has repeatedly warned his subordinates that China is still very poor, party members and cadres must endure hardship first, and fairness must be the priority in handling government affairs.
Chairman Mao's handling of government affairs can always directly grasp the key to the problem and give a reasonable solution. Chairman Mao is also very capable of dealing with human conditions and sophistication. People in Chairman Mao’s hometown will inevitably ask for help from Chairman Mao. Chairman Mao can handle things reasonably, without using his own power, but also being able to reasonably help to his hometown. Of relatives and friends, try to share their difficulties.
Chairman Mao is very serious in his work. He often works so hard that he forgets to eat. The clerk who takes care of his life always has to heat the food several times before Chairman Mao can eat.
Such a busy work sometimes makes Chairman Mao feel hard and tired. His solution to his fatigue is nothing more than walking around in the courtyard next to the study, moving his muscles and chatting with the guards and soldiers.
Mao Zedong worked hard as the chairman while thinking about the future of the entire country. China is a new country established under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party. How can the Communist Party better serve the people on this land of China? This is what he cares most about.
For the establishment of New China,There are so many comrades who have sacrificed on the road of liberation, and this country must get better and better, so that they will not fail the sacrifices of these people.
From the works of Chairman Mao, we can also see very clearly that he has gradually evolved from the ignorance of his youth to a grand strategist with a far-sighted perspective. The formation of Chairman Mao's thinking is that after his middle age, with the accumulation of knowledge and natural intelligence, he gradually created a path that can lead China to the future.
From 1949 to 1959, in his first ten years in power, he accomplished countless major things that seem impossible to accomplish today, such as "One Transformation and Three Transformations", two "Five-Year Plans", and "elimination of prostitutes." "...A great event has turned the old China of warlords' melee, ideological turmoil, and people's misery into a new China with preliminary industrialization, clear politics, and everyone as the master of the country.
In that era, the passion was fierce and the labor was glorious. This was Chairman Mao's correct leadership, and it was the unity of the people of the whole country.
Chairman Mao is a man of foresight. He found that communism and his own ideas still have room for development. After thinking about it, he discovered that there was still room for further development in China in 1959, but after a few decades, will China's development stagnate? His line needs further maturity and exploration. Next, he still has to make preparations for solving major theoretical problems in China's future development.
In order to solve major problems in China in the future, Chairman Mao needs to use his time to conduct in-depth research. However, with busy government affairs every day, he could not spare time to conduct an in-depth study of China’s development theory. Chairman Mao thought of leaving the post of chairman and letting other people serve as chairman, and he had to study more important issues for future generations. China is paving the way.
After Chairman Mao repeatedly proposed to step down as President of the State,Be an academic investigator. This was really unexpected in the eyes of the party's senior leaders at the time. But Chairman Mao’s decisions always go beyond the times. According to his logic, these things are of course reasonable.
So, if Mao Zedong resigns as the chairman of the country, who can be the chairman?
Chairman Mao insisted on being an academic investigator and conducting academic research, which caused a lot of shock in the party group. The people of the whole country have almost formed a “fixed pattern” towards Mao Zedong’s chairmanship. In these years, Chairman Mao’s political, military, and strategic capabilities are obvious to all. Everyone believes that so far, no one can become the next better than Chairman Mao. A leader capable of this position.
After Chairman Mao’s repeated resignation and heated discussions within the party, it was decided to let Chairman Mao’s lifelong comrade-in-arms, Zhu De, the “father of the Red Army”, serve as the chairman of the country. In terms of qualifications, Zhu De is perfectly capable of becoming the next candidate. When meeting in Jinggangshan, it was the "Zhu Mao" Red Army. As the commander-in-chief of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, Zhu De was of course the first candidate after Chairman Mao.
Although recommended by many people, Zhu De was unwilling to assume the position of chairman of the country. He believed that he was seven years older than Chairman Mao, and he was already an old man and was not suitable for chairman.
Zhu De has worked in the party for many years and has extensive experience in handling important matters. Sometimes, Chairman Mao does not have time to deal with matters. Zhu De can also act as an agent. Zhu De has this ability as chairman, but Zhu De has been humble throughout his life, coupled with his older age, he is afraid that he will not be able to hold the post of chairman of the country.
So,Zhu De recommended to Deng Xiaoping, who was then secretary of the Central Secretariat, a more suitable candidate-Liu Shaoqi.
Zhu De wrote to Deng Xiaoping specifically for this matter. Zhu De felt that Comrade Liu Shaoqi was suitable to be the president of the country. Liu Shaoqi was also an old comrade with deep qualifications in the party. He was one of the five secretaries during the Yan'an period. He has tried many tests and made many contributions to the party and the people.
He is extremely upright in character and outstanding in ability. He is humble but not humble and has always held important positions in the party. In the end, after much discussion and compromise with many high-level figures, Liu Shaoqi was formally elected as the chairman of the country at the Second Plenary Session of the Second National People's Congress.
During Liu Shaoqi's presidency, China has strengthened ties and exchanges with many countries in Southeast Asia, Africa, Latin America, and made great progress in foreign affairs activities. At the same time, Comrade Liu Shaoqi also attached great importance to inner-party democracy. Whenever he encountered problems, he promptly discussed countermeasures with many comrades in the party and Chairman Mao, thus exerting a chairman's energy to a large extent.
At the same time, Chairman Mao can finally spare time to study the problems of Chinese society and development. He believes that China's society needs to enter a major change, which will determine China's future development.
In 1959, Chairman Mao, who had already decided to retreat to the second line, discovered some new problems. Chairman Mao, who should have retired, began to think about how to solve the new contradictions. Lin Zexu said: "Gou Li country lives and dies. How can we avoid misfortune and good fortune". Chairman Mao has reached the pinnacle of his life this year, and it does not matter if he retires completely and becomes a stable position.
, for Chairman Mao’s generation,The country and the people are always in the first place. He should do what he does to the country and the people. In his last time as a social investigator, Chairman Mao completed two major changes in Chinese society. He opened an era by mobilizing revolutionary troops and was the seed of the most profound changes in China.
Since the founding of Qin Dynasty, the dynasty changes over two thousand years have been summed up in one sentence for the people: "Prosperity, people suffer; death, people suffer". Only Chairman Mao took less than 20 years to solve the most difficult hurdle in 2000 and let the people be the masters of the country.
More importantly, in Mao Zedong's last moments, not only did he pave the way for China's future development, but also handed over the future to Deng Xiaoping, who returned for the third time.
history has thus entered an era of change!
As the chairman of the country, Mao Zedong, the most important thinker and grand strategist, in this ancient land of China, he swiped his pen and completed his final shaping of China. He has a far-sighted view of the upcoming changes in China, and has followed the trend to promote changes in China. His thrust is the most important force for China to enter the new era.
The starting point of all this comes from Chairman Mao’s most important sentence, that is, "Serve the people." The power of this is enough to lead China to complete a great rejuvenation, and can even create a new era.
What Chairman Mao has to accomplish in his life is to make the motherland strong again, even if he is seriously ill in his old age,I also spent time in foreign affairs interviews and correction of official documents. Even the strategy of "reform and opening up" had long been discussed in the era of Chairman Mao. It was not fully implemented until Chairman Deng Xiaoping came to power.
The so-called heroes of the times, the man who really created this era is Mao Zedong. It is too late for ordinary people to sit in the chair of the country and be happy, but he planned to retreat to the second line early, and as a result, he came out again due to changes in current events.
In fact, the post of chairman of the country can no longer fully carry Chairman Mao's grand strategy and long-term vision of transcending the times and penetrating the future life.
Great loyalty and bravery, great benevolence and righteousness, Chairman Mao made a plan to retire when he resigned as chairman of the country, because he had only one goal in his mind: the great Chinese nation rises again!
