Before Chairman Mao died, he tried hard to click on the bed three times and issued the final order to everyone present. But people didn't guess what it meant, so they could only keep asking. The secretary asked a question tentatively, and Chairman Mao closed his eyes and nodded slightly when he heard this. Subsequently, our country immediately entered a state of first-level combat readiness and issued an announcement to the whole world.
So, what is the death order issued by Chairman Mao? Why should our country enter a first-level combat readiness? What announcement have we issued to the whole world? Next, let’s talk about these things.
1971, Chairman Mao, who was already 78 years old, was getting weaker and weaker. Although he was carefully cared for by the Secretary of Life, he still had major and minor illnesses one after another. The doctor reminded him more than once that staying up late smoking is the most harmful to his health and should not maintain this kind of living habit. But Chairman Mao was not willing to listen to these words. Yan was his good friend throughout his life, and staying up late was a living habit he developed over the past decades. How could he change it just by saying that?
Not long after, Chairman Mao, who insisted on retaining his living habits, contracted lobular pneumonia. The endless coughing caused him torture. At that time, he could hardly sleep in bed. As soon as he lay down, his breathing would be blocked and his whole body would be suffocated. He could only sit on the sofa day and night, tilt his head when he was sleepy, leaned on the back of the chair for a while.
, a sleeping method, cannot get effective rest at all. How can a sick body suffer from this kind of torture again? Life Secretary Zhang Yufeng was anxious in her eyes. In order to relieve Chairman Mao's pain, she sewed a special pillow overnight so that Chairman Mao could lie on the bed and sleep half-lying half-lying on the ground to have a full sleep.
In addition, she also took the initiative to learn some nursing and massage knowledge to help Chairman Mao relieve the pain caused by the disease. Under her careful care, Chairman Mao's body finally recovered slowly.
But after entering 1972, Chairman Mao faced another big challenge. In January of that year, Chairman Mao suffered from a cold, had a high fever, and even had hypoxia. On January 13, Chairman Mao was shocked without warning. This phenomenon scared everyone present very much. The doctor hurriedly helped Chairman Mao up and kept patting his back, hoping to help him calm down. The other staff around also tried their best to shout, "Chairman Mao, wake up quickly, you can't sleep!"
With the joint efforts of everyone, Chairman Mao finally survived the shock without any danger.
For an elderly person who is already in his 80s, even a very ordinary disease may endanger his life, let alone a stimulus that penetrates his soul?
In 1976, Premier Zhou and General Zhu passed away one after another. Not long after, another rare earthquake occurred in Tangshan , and hundreds of thousands of people died overnight. These one after another major blows became the last straw that defeated the camel. Chairman Mao fell ill again. This time, he was even at the point where he could not eat independently and needed help from others to feed him. Later, Chairman Mao could not even complete the small movements of swallowing. People could only use nasal feeding tubes to replenish his body's needs regularly and quantitatively.
At this point, almost everyone was mentally prepared. Departments at all levels sent representatives to stay by Chairman Mao’s bed day and night to prevent missing the old man’s final instructions.
Looking at the endless crowd in front of the bed, Chairman Mao did not react at all. At this time, he just wanted to continue studying and working. The Secretary of Life spent time with him day and night, and he could already clearly distinguish every look and thought of him. After seeing Chairman Mao's expression, she immediately brought the documents of Tangshan earthquake earthquake relief and brought them to Chairman Mao. Chairman Mao narrowed his eyes and tried hard to read the above content, but his body was at the end of his strength. He couldn't hold on without taking a little bit of it. The secretary put down the book and advised Chairman Mao to rest for a while, and Chairman Mao agreed.
After a short rest, Chairman Mao gestured to the secretary to bring the book with his eyes again. In this way, on the last day of his life, Chairman Mao read a total of eleven books, a total of more than two hours.
It is worth mentioning that when the secretary brought the book for the eleventh time, Chairman Mao shook his head and refused to read the book. The staff hurriedly found paper and pen and asked Chairman Mao to write down the name of the book he wanted to read on the paper.
But at this time, Chairman Mao even needed instruments to breathe, so where could he have the strength to write down the name of the book? He trembled with one hand and wasted a lot of effort before he drew three crooked horizontal bars.
Looking at the three horizontal bars, the staff could not understand the meaning of it. The central leader who was guarding the bed also asked tentatively, Chairman Mao, what book do you want to read?
Chairman Mao no longer had the strength to speak. Seeing that everyone didn’t understand what he meant, he stretched out his hand with difficulty and tapped it on the bed three times.
The leaders who observed this situation, look at me and I look at you, no one understands what it means to click three times.
Chairman Mao on the hospital bed could only close his eyes and give up his study plan when he saw that everyone did not understand what he meant. At this moment, Chairman Mao’s life secretary Zhang Yufeng seemed to have thought of something. She lay in Chairman Mao's ear and asked softly, do you want to read the book Sanmu?
When Zhang Yufeng asked this question, everyone found that Chairman Mao, who had originally closed his eyes, opened his eyes and nodded with difficulty.
Seeing this, Zhang Yufeng hurriedly took out a copy of "Wu Fu Miki" from the bookshelf, turned to the page I had read before, and held it in front of Chairman Mao.
Chairman Mao looked at the book with satisfaction and scanned the leaders at all levels by the bed from time to time. It was not until this time that everyone understood what Chairman Mao meant.
It turns out that Chairman Mao was thinking about the relationship between China and Japan.
Perhaps some people don’t understand, how can a small book called Takeo Miki be involved in Sino-Japanese relations? Don't worry, let's continue to read.
Takeo Miki was a very famous politician in the Japanese politics at that time. At that time, he was participating in the Prime Minister election. Chairman Mao wanted to read this book, but he was actually telling everyone to pay attention to Takeo Miki's election situation.
As for why you should pay attention to Takeo Miki instead of other politicians, it would be better understood. Chairman Mao has always advocated that the vast majority of Japanese people should be distinguished from a very small number of extreme militarists and unite all forces that can be united. The political proposition of this Miki Takeo happened to coincide with Chairman Mao. He repeatedly called for the restoration of normal diplomatic relations between China and Japan and the development of cooperation between the two countries. At that time, with the efforts of Kakuei Tanaka , China and Japan had resumed diplomatic relations, but due to the influence of the world situation, the two countries were unable to further develop cooperation. If Takeo Miki was elected, he might have made certain achievements in promoting Sino-Japanese relations. This is the result we hope to see, and it is something Chairman Mao is eager to pay attention to.
The leaders who received the instructions immediately issued relevant orders to always pay attention to the Japanese election situation.
Chairman Mao read this book at around 4:00 pm on September 8th. After reading a few pages, he fell into a coma again. A few hours later, Chairman Mao's blood pressure suddenly changed abnormally. The doctors and nurses waiting in the ward realized something was wrong and immediately began to rescue them. With the joint efforts of everyone, Chairman Mao was temporarily awake. At the last moment of his life, he said eight words vaguely: I feel uncomfortable, so I call the doctor.
After saying this, the machine measuring the heart rate on the side began to issue an alarm. People watched his heart rate soar to more than 200, and then slowly fell back, eventually turning into a straight line. At 0:10 on September 9, Chairman Mao, a great man of the generation, passed away.
In a few hours after Chairman Mao’s death, Mr. Hua held a meeting and issued an emergency national first-level combat readiness order. Millions of People’s Liberation Army entered a state of combat, ready to fight against those enemies who were ill-hearted and attempted to make trouble in the chaos.
The next morning, we announced this news to the world. United Nations lowered half of the flag as soon as possible to show condolences. 53 countries also chose to lower half of the flag to mourn. 105 countries around the world sent representatives to Beijing to pay their respects, and nearly 200 countries sent condolence messages. At the same time, important people from all over the world expressed shock and regret for Chairman Mao's departure.
The Takeo Miki, who made Chairman Mao still remember when he was dying, commented on Chairman Mao's great achievements in history. Another politician, Fukuda Kiyoshi, said that no matter how high the evaluation of Chairman Mao was, it would not be an exaggeration. President Ford even bluntly stated that Chairman Mao is a giant in modern Chinese history and his influence on history has long exceeded China's borders.
In addition, many countries in the world have held mourning ceremonies, mourning parades and other activities. North Korea has even banned all entertainment activities in the country within the next week. From the reactions of these countries, it can be seen that Chairman Mao is not only a great man in our hearts, but also a great man in the hearts of people all over the world.
Here, let us pay tribute to the great leader Chairman Mao!
