"These graves are mostly buried by wealthy businessmen. They have enjoyed all their wealth and glory during their lifetime, but now they still occupy the Feng Shui treasure land after their death..." In 1954, Chairman Mao, who was watching the shore of West Lake, suddenly said this.
, inside and outside, it is all about the words that it is extremely inappropriate to appear on the shore of West Lake in this beautiful place.
Hearing this, Wang Fang, the director of the Zhejiang Provincial Public Security Department, who was accompanying him, then hesitated and asked: "Chairman, do you think this tomb of Yue Fei has been moved away?"
It turned out that there was an Yue Fei tomb on the edge of the West Lake, and Chairman Mao highly praised Yue Fei. Now Chairman Mao is signaling to move the tomb on the shore. Wang Fang really dared not make a decision without authorization.
"Yue Fei is a national hero, and his tomb does not need to be moved." Chairman Mao's answer was very decisive. In his opinion, as a national hero, his tomb is part of history and culture.
1. Send the nameless wreath
At that time, it was the eve of the Qingming Festival, and the constitution that had been revised had just passed the review. Chairman Mao, who had been bothering him for a long time, finally had the opportunity to take a break, and this was the beginning of the article.
Chairman Mao, who returned to his residence in Hangzhou, showed a relaxed feeling that had not appeared for a long time. Just after Chairman Mao washed up and was about to go back to his room to rest, he seemed to suddenly think of something, suddenly stopped moving, turned around and called the secretary outside the house, and ordered, "Please invite Director Wang, just say I have something to ask him." After
, Chairman Mao sat back on the seat and waited for Wang Fang to push the door and enter.
"Chairman, are you looking for me?" Soon, Wang Fang's voice sounded outside the door. After receiving Chairman Mao’s approval, Wang Fang, who entered the house, asked Chairman Mao what he wanted.
When Wang Fang arrived, Chairman Mao happened to light a cigarette. When he saw Wang Fang breathing in, his hand holding the cigarette paused for a moment, nodding at the seat next to him, and letting Wang Fang sit down before talking.
After all, it was too late, and seeing Wang Fang sweating profusely, I probably came in a hurry.
When Wang Fang sat down, took a breath, and after a while, Chairman Mao spoke.
"Comrade Wang Fang, it's about to be Qingming Festival?"
Wang Fang, who was confused when he heard this, paused for a moment before quickly replying, "Yes, Chairman, it's not a few days before Qingming Festival."
continued to speak, but after taking a few sips of cigarettes, he spoke slowly, and suddenly asked, "'Why don't you agree with your own country, what's wrong with it? Do you know who said this sentence? "
As the director of the Zhejiang Provincial Public Security Department and working in Zhejiang for many years, Wang Fang is very familiar with what Chairman Mao said. What's more, this sentence was said by the famous general Yue Fei,
"Chairman, this sentence comes from the hero Yue Fei. On the way I came, I happened to pass Yuewang Temple ." Without hesitation, Wang Fang took the sentence naturally.
Who knew that as soon as Wang Fang said, Chairman Mao stood up with a very solemn expression. While Wang Fang was watching at a loss, Chairman Mao raised his foot and paced back and forth in the house silently.
"Chairman?" Wang Fang had to whisper to test.
"Yuewang Temple? Yue Fei is a national hero and has been respected by countless people for thousands of years." As soon as Chairman Mao opened his mouth, his words were filled with respect for Yue Fei.
Just as Wang Fang was thinking about how to answer the conversation, Chairman Mao suddenly continued, "You can recite Yue Fei's "Manjianghong"?" Wang Fang naturally knows how to recite the widely circulated poems in
. In Chairman Mao's office, Wang Fang's words and sentences were heard. When blurting out the sentence "Jingkang's shame is not yet gone", Chairman Mao, who was immersed in the poem, suddenly changed his face, and his already solemn expression became more solemn.
As Wang Fang recited, Chairman Mao also added aloud and ended the recitation of the poems together.
The two have been completely immersed in their emotions, and the two in the office have been unable to withdraw from their sad and overwhelming emotions.
A cigarette died. After Chairman Mao extinguished it, he spoke out and broke the atmosphere of grief and anger. "Comrade Wang Fang, I have something I want to ask you."
"Chairman please say, no matter what, I will do my best to complete it!" Hearing this, Wang Fang immediately stood up and promised.
"On the Qingming Festival, I couldn't get rid of myself. Please help me to Yuewang Temple and offer a few wreaths to Yue Fei. You don't have to worry about the cost. It's deducted from my royalties. Remember, my name cannot appear on the wreath."
On the Qingming Festival a few days later, several wreaths without signatures appeared in Yuewang Temple, which aroused speculation from everyone.
2. Relief of Yue Fei's descendants
In addition to sending wreaths, Chairman Mao specially approved the relief of Yue Fei's descendants two years ago, which can better show his admiration for Yue Fei.
At that time, Yue Fei's descendant named Yue Changlie was a well-known and stubborn temper. He came from a scholarly family and focused all his attention on studying. As a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, he was originally a teacher at No. 1 Middle School in Xiuzhou, Jiaxing. He was very literary, but because of his strange temper, he was warned by the school several times, and was finally dismissed by the school.
He has an arrogant personality. Not only did he not marry a wife in his life, but even the industries left by his ancestors were consumed by him without realizing it. Without income, he could only live in a damp alley for a long time. He was penniless and couldn't even buy a decent piece of furniture. The only bed was he piled up with bricks and added a door panel.
This is a humble room, but my virtue is full of virtue. Yue Changlie, who lives a very hard life, still sticks to his heart and regards books as his friend. Even if he borrows the lights of street teahouses, he still has to study poetry and books day and night. Yue Changlie was once called "nerd" by the children around him in a torn dress and holding the book all day long.
The strange eyes of outsiders, Yue Changlie never cared about it. It was a blessing in life to have clothes and food, not to mention that he could still read books without restraint.
However, with the changes in the social background, he could only survive by relying on others' relief, and even barely keeping warm and making a living cannot be guaranteed. He searched for a job everywhere but failed, dragging his weak and elderly body and running around, and he could only find very little dry food to rescue him.
In the autumn of 1951, he couldn't hold on and chose to write a letter to the central government to seek relief from the central government. Soon, after review and approval by the Tongxiang County Government, although the letter was sent to the Central Committee, it was a busy time when Chairman Mao’s affairs were busy, and the letter from Yue Changlie could not be delivered to Chairman Mao.
, who struggled to get a reply from the central government, had no source of income, and in the second year, that is, the spring of 1952, Yue Changlie wrote a letter to Chairman Mao again.
The second letter was delivered to the central government just happened to happen when Chairman Mao inspected the Yellow River field in Henan Province. Chairman Mao, who has always praised Yue Fei, unexpectedly chose to stop at Tangyin Station. As Yue Fei's hometown , the Yue Temple and the stone tablets of "The Hometown of Yue Zhongwu" all exuded traces of Yue Fei's life here.
Chairman Mao, who got off the bus there, was completely immersed in Yue Fei's heroic deeds in the report of Wang Tingwen of the county magistrate of Tangyin . When everyone talked about Yue Fei's descendants, the saying "Everyone of the descendants of the Yue family has a firm position" attracted Chairman Mao's repeated praise.
Chairman Mao's Tangyin County and his party attracted the attention of the world to the current situation of Yue Fei's descendants, and Yue Changlie's tragic current situation also received attention from Tangyin County. After multiple reviews, the two letters written by Yue Changlie were delivered to Chairman Mao's desk together. When Chairman Mao heard that these two letters were sent by Yue Fei's descendants today, he opened them without any hesitation. After reading the two letters full of literary style, Chairman Mao immediately wrote the words "Can be relieved at the discretion" behind the envelope.
received Chairman Mao’s personal instructions, Zhejiang Provincial Government and Tongxiang County Government quickly began to arrange the life of Yue Changlie.After appropriately providing living allowances to Yue Changlie, considering that Yue Changlie has a profound literary background, the local government decided to hire him as a librarian in the Literature and History Research Museum to be responsible for writing historical materials and memoirs.
3. Treat Yue Fei as his confidant
As early as when Chairman Mao was young, he was unwilling to live a numb life with the arrangements at home. He did not recognize the old-fashioned teaching method of a private school teacher from the bottom of his heart.
Chairman Mao at that time was keen on reading various novels. Among the various novels, a book "The Legend of Yue" stood out and became the novel that attracted Chairman Mao the most. Except for eating and sleeping, Chairman Mao held this book in his hands for the rest of the time.
read it carefully again and again. The young Chairman Mao was completely attracted by the strong Yue Fei, and devoted himself to the country. In the face of Gentile invasion, Yue Fei, who had noble national integrity, completely impressed Chairman Mao.
Under the influence of that book, Chairman Mao not only regarded Yue Fei as an idol, but also formed an extremely strong patriotic feeling deep in his heart.
After a little older, Chairman Mao, who was eager to have an in-depth understanding of Yue Fei, has always been loyal to collecting literary works related to Yue Fei and collecting books everywhere. Chairman Mao always reads them carefully locally, and writes his feelings in the blanks of the book pages in the middle.
Every time I read it is a conversation with Yue Fei. During the many conversations, Chairman Mao had already regarded Yue Fei as his confidant in the book and a spiritual soulmate in the book.
will often borrow Yue Fei's story to encourage thousands of young people in the future.
In 1938, in a speech at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, in front of many young students, Chairman Mao publicly said: "Since ancient times, he has been a hero without asking where he comes from. Take our national hero Yue Fei as an example. He started as a soldier and did not make achievements in the end? Similarly, now we will not require everyone to graduate from a famous school! Victory has always been only a struggler, everyone just displays their talents!" After
, as the War of Resistance Against Japan was getting deeper, in the face of the strong attack of the Japanese invaders, Chairman Mao keenly realized that under the tenacious struggle of all ethnic groups in the Chinese nation, the Japanese invaders could not destroy China in a short period of time, but if they wanted to defend their territory, China had to make preparations for a long-term struggle.
In the Chinese revolutionary ranks, under the fierce attack of the Japanese invaders, many people were already pessimistic about the War of Resistance. In order to prevent the continued pessimistic ideas, Chairman Mao’s article " on the Protracted War " was born, pointing out the direction for thousands of Chinese youth and bringing great encouragement to the Chinese people.
In this article "On Protracted War", the word "flexible" is the top priority. The inspiration of these ideas is still Yue Fei's military thought. In the fight against Jin Wushu , the key reason why Yue Fei was able to defeat the enemy many times was "flexible". If you want to stand on the victorious side in front of a strong enemy, you must change your thinking, avoid head-on and fight it head-on.
It was under the influence of Yue Fei's military thought that in the face of the Japanese army with advanced weapons, Chairman Mao believed that the People's Army needed to launch a protracted war of resistance with it, and the word "flexible" must be emphasized. The world-famous guerrilla tactics came into being.
Whenever I encounter difficulties, Chairman Mao often has a conversation with Yue Fei as he was when he was young, and find a way to solve his doubts.
It can be said that Chairman Mao highly praised Yue Fei's patriotic spirit in his life. Chairman Mao, who expressed his respect for Yue Fei many times in public, later when someone attempted to turn black and white to overturn the verdict of despicable people such as Qin Hui , he immediately stood up to rectify Yue Fei's name.
Even today, the four words "loyalty to serve the country" still need to be deeply rooted in the hearts of all Chinese people!
