In 1989, Deng Xiaoping's uncle Tan Yixing passed away in Guang'an due to illness. After Deng Xiaoping learned about it, he only briefly explained three sentences, each sentence was concise and clear, and full of the local accent. What three words did Deng Xiaoping say? What past events have he and Tan Yixing experienced? Why has Deng Xiaoping always adhered to his principles?
Uncle's death
1989 On November 14, 1989, Tan Yixing passed away due to ineffective treatment of illness. It caused a great sensation in the local area for a while, and they all felt deeply saddened by the old man's death. The wife who had been by his side for a long time was even more heartbroken and could not accept this reality. In view of his close relationship with Deng Xiaoping and his contribution to Deng Xiaoping and the Deng family, the Guang'an County Government held many meetings to discuss his funeral.
meeting someone pointed out that Deng Xiaoping is now the leader of the country and Tan Yixing is his uncle. Given such a relationship, he should not be neglected in his funeral, and everything should be dealt with according to the highest local standards. Some people think that such a big thing should be asked to ask their superiors, especially to report it to Deng Xiaoping step by step and ask for his opinions to do it, which may be more reasonable.
Some people hold different opinions from the above two. They believe that Deng Xiaoping has always been low-key and simple. If he goes against this will, he will make Deng Xiaoping unhappy. Besides, Deng Xiaoping is busy with official business and asks about his subsequent affairs. Is it really necessary?
After many discussions within the county party committee, no reasonable plan was given. Later, after careful consideration, they drafted a very detailed document, mainly reporting their preliminary ideas on how to hold a funeral, as well as asking Deng Xiaoping if he needed the local government to handle it on his behalf?
In addition, in order not to ask Deng Xiaoping to question their work, he also reported in detail the entire process of Dan Yixingzhi's treatment before his death and politely asked about his wishes.
Not long after, I received three replies from Deng Xiaoping: I understand. "The specifications are high enough. "No more gifts. "
Deng Xiaoping's three sentences have the word "le". At the age of 85, he left his hometown for many years and has not lost his hometown accent. Of course, we can also interpret these three sentences now: I am a public servant of the people now. The funeral specifications for the death of my uncle are high enough, and there is no need to attach anything else.
Why did Deng Xiaoping's reaction to his uncle Tan Yixing's death so dull? What kind of hidden feelings are there? He and Tan Yixing What kind of origin does it have?
The best playmate as a child
1904, Deng Xiaoping was born in Chongqing. At that time, the younger brother of the Deng family, Tan Yixing, was less than two years old. Because of the same age, this also gave the two children a lot of opportunities to play together.
and when the two children reached school age, they came to "Hanlin together" "Study in the yard, and later went to elementary school together. After graduating from elementary school, Tan Yixing interrupted his studies because there was no one at home to farm, and Deng Xiaoping chose to continue studying.
In September 1919, Deng Xiaoping came to Chongqing for study at the Preparatory School for the Study in France at his father's request. A year later, Deng Xiaoping came to France to study. After Deng Xiaoping went to France to study, he never saw Tan Yixing again, but with the financial support of the Dan family, Deng Xiaoping's path to study It was only smooth that it was invisibly brought into the relationship between the two families. When the two met again, it was already more than 30 years later.
In the spring of 1950, Dan Yixing, who lived in Guang'an, Sichuan, and Deng Xiaoping's stepmother Xia Bogen came to Chongqing to visit Deng Xiaoping, who had become a high-ranking official. After they arrived at the place where Deng Xiaoping worked, Cui Lairu, the guard on duty, reported to Deng Xiaoping who was still in the meeting: "Political Commissar, your family is here to see you from Guang'an. "
Deng Xiaoping was stunned for a second after hearing this. Cui Lairu continued to ask, "Do you need to notify your wife and ask her to help you entertain her."Deng Xiaoping refused decisively, and then asked the guards to arrange for them to settle in the guesthouse.
Cui Lairu had no intention of leaving, and he said to Deng Xiaoping again: "Political Commissar, your uncle is so hungry that he keeps shouting to have a meal, and he is still ordering dishes there and saying he wants to eat. "Deng Xiaoping was silent. Cui Lairu was a little anxious. He said again: "Political Commissar, you are a relative from your hometown. Are you sure you won't entertain me? "Deng Xiaoping waved his hand and went to the conference room for a meeting again.
That night, he felt the neglected Dan Yixing and later came to Deng Xiaoping's home drunk. After Deng Xiaoping returned home, he asked without hesitation: "You wise boy, you really have become a high-ranking official, and even the family forgot about it. "Deng Xiaoping said when he saw this, "Uncle, you are here." "Dan Yixing said a little aggrievedly: "Do you still know your uncle?" Do you still recognize your mother? "
" of course I remember it. "Deng Xiaoping said.
Dan Yixing suddenly burst into tears, and then said to Deng Xiaoping: "Your mother was very sad when you left. Do you know that she loved you the most? 7 years after you left, she left after missing her as if she had gone. Have you ever considered her mood when you were overseas? She didn't see her son before she died, and she was so regretful in her life. "
Deng Xiaoping's eyes became wet when he heard this. He said to his uncle: "Uncle, how could I forget my hometown and the days when I played and played with you. My mother has been away for 30 years. No matter where I am, I am thinking about my mother and every bit of the time I have been with her. "
Deng Xiaoping continued to recall: "Mom is a very thrifty person. When she was a child, her father was away all year round. She kept the family in an orderly manner and we lived a very down-to-earth life. I remember when I left home to study, my mother took my younger brother and sister to see me off and sent me to Wulidun. I also comforted my mother and asked her to wait for me to come back at home. "
" In my memory, my father is also a special person. He has ideals and ambitions. Without him, I think I can't study in Chongqing, let alone study in France. It was my father who gave me the opportunity to go out and saw it and changed my life. "
" The twelfth day of the seventh lunar month in 1920 was my 16th birthday, and that day was also the day before I was about to leave France. My father came to Chongqing from his hometown to celebrate my birthday. He also brought the beef jerky that his mother made for me. We had a meal at a restaurant near Taipingmen, and he ordered several dishes for me. Before he could get started to eat, his father cried sadly. I quickly advised him that I am an adult. In the future, I will definitely study hard when I go abroad. After returning to China, I will serve my motherland and repay your kindness for raising me. The next day, I boarded a cruise to France. It was already very cold at that time, and I saw my father waving to me hard. My mother made a lot of jerky for me, and I remember that I never finished eating it when I put it on. "
Deng Xiaoping talked endlessly, and Tan Yixing listened seriously. They talked very deeply and forgot Xia Bogen who was beside him.
"The Communist Party's errands cannot be given randomly"
Speaking of Xia Bogen, although this woman was nearly 50 years old, she was full of energy. Although she was not well educated, she also made her own meager contribution to the development of the Communist Party's cause. After the liberation of Chongqing, Xia Bogen heard that Xianwazi was working in Chongqing. She happily threw down all her livelihoods at home and came to Chongqing with Tan Yixing.
Tan Yixing, who was chatting, suddenly thought of Xia Bogen who had been waiting aside for a long time. He immediately introduced this taciturn woman to Deng Xiaoping: "This is your stepmother, Xia Bogen. She took care of your father and sent him to the end. Your stepmother is very capable and can do any job at home. Without her, this family can't support it. No one in my hometown doesn’t praise her, and they all say that she is the blessing of the Deng family when she comes to our house. "
Xia Bogen quickly interrupted Tan Yixing's words after hearing this: "Uncle, stop talking."After she stopped Tan Yixing, she said to Deng Xiaoping: "I heard from my family that you are an official in Chongqing very early and I have always wanted to come and see you. I will leave with your uncle in a while. "
Deng Xiaoping listened to the words of his uncle and stepmother, looking at the woman who was only a few years older than him, and he said affectionately: "Mom Xia, don't leave, isn't it good for us to live together? Let me provide you with your old age. "
Xia Bogen burst into tears after hearing this. Since then, she has never left Deng Xiaoping's side. Even after Deng Xiaoping died later, she has been with her and survived that painful time. In 2001,Xia Bogen passed away at the age of 101.
Deng Xiaoping finished talking to Xia's mother, and looked at his uncle again and said, "In 1939, I met Deng Ken in Yan'an . He told me that it was my uncle who sponsored him to come to Yan'an. Just because the Kuomintang still wanted you, your wife and children were separated, and he suffered a lot of crimes. Logically speaking, you came to Chongqing to see me this time, and I should have a job for you. But, uncle, you are also aware that the Communist Party’s errands are not given as they are given. "Dan Yixing felt a little sad after hearing this. He was about to say something to Deng Xiaoping, but he still held back when he said something.
Deng Xiaoping's son "Pangpang" saw that no one was talking in the room, and suddenly asked, "Dad, are you called Xianwazi?" Why don't I know? "Dan Yixing joked: "Children, you don't know a lot. During the holiday, I will pick you up to Guang'an to play, will you go or not? "Pangpang replied: "Really? It's not a lie to me. "Dan Yixing said, "I won't lie to you, don't worry." "He turned around and said by Deng Xiaoping: "I will go back to my hometown in two days. Although my uncle is not very educated, it is no problem to support himself. "
"You are Deng Xiaoping's uncle! Come to the front and cut your flesh. "
In 1976, Deng Xiaoping was caught by someone who was interested and was defeated for the third time. Deng Xiaoping was rehabilitated in July 1977. Dan Yixing, who was far away from his hometown in Guang'an, suddenly fell ill after hearing the news. In his seventies, he lay in bed for seven or eight days, and only his wife stayed with him and accompanied him by his side.
Once, his wife took him downstairs for a walk and moved his body. He met his friend Jin Fusheng. After seeing Dan Yixing, Jin Fusheng said to him: "I feel that your complexion is much different. Don't worry too much about the safety of the virtuous child. He will definitely turn bad luck into good luck. Or I'll take you to Longxi Field for fun. "
Dan Yixing looked at the sky and sighed deeply. He said to his friend: "My physical condition is too bad now, I am weak all over and don't want to go anywhere. "Jin Fusheng replied: "You are too serious for health care. I haven't eaten meat for a long time. I'll find some meat tickets for you, and you can cut some meat and let your lover make some delicious food for you to replenish. "
Dan Yixing and Jin Fusheng came to the place where pork was sold on Longxi Street, and saw that there was already a long line there. Jin Fusheng asked Dan Yixing to queue up and find him a meat ticket. Dan Yixing, who was queuing obediently, was recognized not long after: "Are you Deng Xiaoping's uncle? "
For a moment, the queue for buying meat was a little turbulent, and everyone turned around to see the unwind. The workers in the slaughterhouse heard that it was Deng Xiaoping's uncle who came to buy meat, so he shouted directly to the queue: "Who is Deng Xiaoping's uncle? Please come to the front of the team and cut a piece of good meat for you! "
Tan Yixing was a little overwhelmed, and the people in the team helped him to the front. After seeing Tan Yixing, the slaughterhouse workers said to the people in line: "Deng Xiaoping has done so many practical things for our people. He was framed. It's not too much for us to let him go to the line to cut some meat. "
The person in line responded loudly: "It's not too much, just cut his flesh quickly. "
As soon as the words ended, the workers in the slaughterhouse cut a piece of good meat weighing two kilograms for Dan Yixing, but Dan Yixing only had one dollar in his pocket.
Dan Yixing and the people in the slaughterhouse said that I only had one kilogram of meat, and the people in the slaughterhouse said to him: "When do you have time to bring money to replenish me?"”
He handed the meat to Dan Yixing and added: “Old Dan, we heard that Deng Xiaoping died again, and he always wanted to write a letter to encourage him to be stronger, but he was worried that he would not be able to send it to him. This time I am lucky to see you, uncle. I hope you can write to Deng Xiaoping for us. People in my hometown have not forgotten him, and the people have not forgotten him. "
Dan Yixing took the meat he bought from "strike in the line" and turned around and walked out of the crowd. His back was facing the flow of people, and tears were pouring like a spring...
Goodbye more than 20 years later
In February 1986, Deng Xiaoping returned to Chengdu for the Spring Festival. He told people around him that he really wanted to meet his uncle.
After a few days, When the Guang'an County Party Committee received the instructions, he sent Dan Yixing to Chengdu. When Deng Xiaoping saw his uncle, he walked forward excitedly and shook hands with him and talked to him, recalling the past when he was playing together when he was a child. Later, the two talked about Deng Xiaoping being knocked down three times in a row. Uncle Dan Yixing was affected by how his uncle Dan Yixing lived in the future.
Although he suffered a lot in Guang'an, he never lowered his noble head and kept saying to others: "Deng Xiaoping will never be knocked down. "While the two of them were having a meal, Dan Yixing saw that the food on the table was very light. He said aggrievedly: "Why is this dish so light? There are not many lumps of kirks, and Guang'an's braised pork is gone. "
Deng Xiaoping heard his uncle's complaint and said, "Then let them pick up food and eat it in one go, but there is no barbecue from their hometown here. Besides, you and I are not young anymore, and eating too much cured meat is not good for the health. ”
Immediately afterwards, he saw the red wine on the table and said, “Doesn’t there be any Kuige wine in my hometown? "Deng Xiaoping said to his uncle: "This is red wine, which is much more expensive than the white wine in his hometown. Drinking some red wine is good for the health and can promote blood circulation. "How could my uncle who was used to drinking wine from his hometown drink? In order to take care of his uncle, Deng Xiaoping brought the white wine from his hometown.
Uncle was happy to drink and had no intention of stopping. Seeing this, Deng Xiaoping immediately came out to persuade him in time and did not allow his uncle to continue drinking.
After dinner, Deng Xiaoping's family and his uncle's family also had a family photo outside. This precious image has always been treasured in the Tan Family Ancestral Hall.
In fact, since the third rehabilitation, Deng Xiaoping and his wife have never stopped talking to Tan Yi The help of Xing family. Since August 1978, Deng Xiaoping and his wife Zhuo Lin have always sent some money to their uncle's family regularly. Zhuo Lin will inform Tan Yixing in advance before sending money and explain the situation to him in time. The couple did not stop sending money until the death of Tan Yixing and his wife.
The great Deng Xiaoping held a high position and always cared for the people. He was strict with himself and was lenient to others. He never used his special identity to seek improper benefits for his relatives. He treated his relatives with a sincere heart and gave them the most practical help. His noble personality charm of not forgetting his original aspirations is really touching.
