In July 1958, Premier Zhou came to Xinhui County, Guangdong Province for inspection in the scorching summer heat. This inspection came suddenly so that the local cadres were not prepared, so they chose to set up a banquet for Premier Zhou to see him off when Premier Zhou was about to leave.
But when Premier Zhou saw this table of meals, Premier Zhou, who was approachable during the inspection, suddenly became heavy-faced. After Premier Zhou finished eating, he said to local cadres: "Comrade Xiangmin, I will pay for this meal. "
faced Premier Zhou's "stop banquet" local cadres, Party Xiangmin, and refused repeatedly: "Prime Minister 4, this is not possible. The banquet that invites you to pay for you, what will it look like? "
But Premier Zhou still insisted on paying, turning this farewell banquet into a "stop banquet", which is more decisive than Premier Zhou's "stop banquet" Premier Zhu's "stop banquet".
Premier Zhu was taken to the banquet after a meeting, but Premier Zhu took his secretary to a corner to have a working meal when facing a hundred tables of banquets. Premier Zhu's "stop banquet" behavior made thousands of guests sit down for the banquet that night.
Why should the two prime ministers choose to "stop the banquet" when facing the crowd's banquet? Why are the "stop banquets" methods of Premier Zhou and Premier Zhu also different?
All of this must be found in the situation where Premier Zhou and Premier Zhu "stopped the banquet" at that time.
Premier Zhou's low-key inspection, everything is simple. In May 1958, Premier Zhou noticed the speeches of Xinhui County cadres at the meeting when attending the second meeting of the Eighth National Congress. After listening to the report of the Xinhui County cadre, the leaders present praised Xinhui County's business work, and even Chairman Mao said at the meeting that he could hold an on-site meeting in Xinhui County.
Premier Zhou, who was dedicated to the country, also paid more attention to Xinhui County in his heart. Not long after the meeting, Premier Zhou saw news about Xinhui County in the People's Daily.
The People's Daily reported a news report about a farmer in Xinhui County cultivating excellent hybrid rice. This news made Premier Zhou pay more attention to the development of Xinhui County.
At this time, my country is in its development period, and it is necessary for some local development to drive the development of the country. Premier Zhou can see the development potential of this place from the reports made by the cadres of Xinhui County and the People's Daily's reports on Xinhui County.
In order to investigate the real situation of the development of Xinhui County, Premier Zhou decided to go to Xinhui County in person and contact the masses and learn about the real situation of Xinhui County by himself.
In order to ensure that what you saw during the inspection was the true appearance of Xinhui County, Premier Zhou specially asked the relevant provincial party committee not to hold events with great fanfare about this trip, and to deal with everything simply.
At the firm request of Premier Zhou, there were many fewer cadres accompanying Premier Zhou to Xinhui County for inspection, and Xinhui County did not receive any news at all, and naturally there was no too much preparation. It showed a real Xinhui County.
Premier Zhou went to Xinhui County for inspection, showing his noble character
Premier Zhou only drove a car to Xinhui County this time. The accompanying proposed by the local government was beaten back by Premier Zhou. When Premier Zhou was about to arrive in Xinhui County, he saw a red flag on the mountain in the distance.
After seeing the red flag, Premier Zhou mistakenly thought it was a local cadres who received the news of the welcome meeting. For this reason, Premier Zhou also scolded the local cadres who accompanied the car: " Have you notified them? Before coming this time, I said not to disturb the local people. What's going on? "
The cadres accompanying him shook their heads and replied: "We have not notified local cadres here. This red flag should not be used to hold a welcome meeting."
In fact, as the local cadres said, this red flag is a red flag used by local Young Pioneers in daily life. Premier Zhou felt much more relieved after knowing that it was not the welcome meeting held by the local people.
The local cadres who had just arrived in Xinhui only then did they know that Premier Zhou was here to inspect. They knew that it was Premier Zhou who came and the local cadres quickly began to arrange Premier Zhou's inspection. In order to let Premier Zhou have a good rest, the local cadres wanted to bring Premier Zhou to the newly repaired guesthouse in the local area.
But Premier Zhou politely refused on the spot and said to the local cadres: " We are all Communists. As a Communist Party member, I live wherever you usually live. The county committee should still have a place? I have lived with my comrades these days, and it has become much more convenient for work. "
Seeing Premier Zhou say this, local cadres are not good enough to let Premier Zhou go to the guesthouse to rest. Since then, Premier Zhou has been living in the county party committee office of Xinhui County for seven days after inspecting Xinhui County.
When local cadres saw Premier Zhou visiting the three issues of food, accommodation and transportation. Premier Zhou has selected the cadres to prepare for food and transportation. Among the personnel who came to inspect the inspection was a chef sent by the provincial party committee to take care of Premier Zhou’s diet these days, but before he could even make a meal, Premier Zhou sent the chef away and called on the cooks from the county party committee to make it.
cooks received the order from Premier Zhou and quickly waved their hands and said, "Prime Minister, I can't do this. I can make some big pot rice. I really don't know how to cook small dishes."
"Big pot rice is good. I like big pot rice. It's good to eat big pot rice. You don't have to do anything special. Don't use the money from the public to eat big pot meals. It's great to have a big pot meal." Premier Zhou not only answered the cook's questions after listening to the cook's words, but also reminded the cadres present.
So after that, Premier Zhou's meals were to eat big pot meals with local cadres. His usual meals were very frugal. During the seven days of inspection, Premier Zhou also walked with the local people at all times and completely integrated into the people.
Premier Zhou inspected and was with the masses
During the inspection, although Premier Zhou repeatedly asked not to treat himself differently, the people's enthusiasm for Premier Zhou could not be concealed.
Premier Zhou is very close to the local people no matter where he inspects it. In the University of Labor, Premier Zhou gave chopped pineapples to the students around him, Premier Zhou talked about his investment with his employees in the farm, and Premier Zhou fanned the young workers working in the hot summer to get the cool.
Whenever Premier Zhou goes to a place, it will cause a sensation among the locals. Many people want to see this beloved Premier Zhou with their own eyes. Local cadres will also prevent these hot people from approaching for Premier Zhou's safety in order to prevent harm to Premier Zhou.
At first, Premier Zhou did not find out, but when Premier Zhou inspected Zhou County, he saw the cadres of the Security Department being reported to the leaders that many people wanted to see Premier Zhou's situation, and the Security Department was almost unable to stop it.
Seeing this situation, Premier Zhou walked over and said to the cadres of the security department: "Let the masses come in. We must always be with the masses. How can we do things to stop the masses?"
Security department immediately responded happily when he heard this. Not long after he went back, he went in to let all the people who had been waiting for a long time. When the masses saw Premier Zhou, they all felt excited.
Premier Zhou did not retreat at all when facing the enthusiastic masses. Instead, he greeted the masses enthusiastically, chatted with them, and learned about their lives.
Premier Zhou has always insisted on being with the masses. No matter when Premier Zhou always emphasized to the people around him, don’t stop him from contacting the masses. Only by truly contacting the masses can he benefit the masses better, just like Premier Zhou came to inspect without any warning this time.
The various actions of Premier Zhou during his inspection made the masses like this Prime Minister who walked with the people. After Premier Zhou went to a place to inspect, the local people would send some specialties to Premier Zhou to express his personal feelings. In the face of this situation, Premier Zhou often thanked the masses repeatedly, but would not accept the masses' property.
Sometimes local people will quietly put things on the car or ship when Premier Zhou came. When Premier Zhou found out, he would take out an equal amount of money to the people around him, and hand it over to the people who gave the money to the gifts.
Week Premier walked with the people but did not take any needlework from the people, only caring for the people.
holds a banquet for Premier Zhou to see off. The Prime Minister pays out of his own pocket and
Premier Zhou conducted a seven-day inspection in Xin'an County. During these 7 days, Premier Zhou was with the cadres who were eating, living and traveling. During this period, in order to improve Premier Zhou's food, he asked the canteen to make a meal that only can be eaten during the holidays.
Although it is a meal that can only be eaten during festivals, it is only a little fish and pork liver. After the meal, Premier Zhou said to the local cadres: "The money for this meal is for the province, so don't let the county and the community bear it. It can be considered as a care for cadres who work for the masses. "
such a simple meal Premier Zhou also needs to remember such a simple meal, and it is very touched by the local cadres. On the day when Premier Zhou was about to leave, the cadres in Xinhui County discussed and decided to let Premier Zhou have a good meal before leaving. Even if they knew that Premier Zhou would not want to do this, the cadres wanted to express their inner gratitude to Premier Zhou.
On the day when Premier Zhou was about to leave, Xinhui County Party Secretary Dang Xiangmin led Premier Zhou to have a local meal. Premier Zhou frowned as soon as he was brought to the dining table. Dang Xiangmin next to
, hurriedly said, "Premier Zhou, I personally asked you to see you off with my own pocket. We have seen your hard work these days, so let me entertain you with local specialties."
Premier Zhou said nothing after hearing Dang Xiangmin's words and just sat down first and started the banquet. When he was about to finish his meal, Premier Zhou suddenly said to Dang Xiangmin: " Comrade Party Xiangmin, I will pay for this meal. I still know your income. You can't afford such a expensive meal. I'd better treat you, but I will receive your wishes. "
The Party Xiangmin waved his hand to refuse when he saw Premier Zhou saying this. However, Premier Zhou had decided to invite this meal and signaled to hand over the 300 yuan to the head of the Xinhui County Party Committee next to him. Although the Party Xiangmin tried his best to fight, he still could not let Premier Zhou change his mind.
In the end, this banquet for entertaining Premier Zhou became a banquet for Premier Zhou to invite the local county party committee, and Premier Zhou’s farewell banquet eventually became a situation where he paid for it himself.
Compared with Premier Zhou's "stop banquet" behavior, Premier Zhu's "stop banquet" is more decisive.
thrifty Prime Minister Zhu, "stopped the banquet" and opposed eating and drinking for public funds
, like Premier Zhu, were very concerned about the development of the people. Premier Zhou was much worse in the domestic situation at that time than Premier Zhu. When Premier Zhu was Premier Zhu, the country began to develop rapidly, and came to the key things of reform and opening up.
developed very rapidly throughout China during this period. As it developed rapidly, many places have caused the situation of using public funds for their own personal gain, and problems such as using public funds to eat, drink, and other problems are common.
When Premier Zhu took office, he was determined to change this behavior within the party. For this reason, Premier Zhu strictly demanded himself and was never ambiguous on catering issues.
Premier Zhu once went to a local meeting for a local meeting, the local department set up a banquet in a star-rated hotel to entertain Premier Zhu and other leaders. But when Premier Zhu arrived at the scene, he immediately turned cold when he saw the appearance of the on-site banquet hall.
Prince Zhu first walked to the position he arranged for himself. When everyone thought that Premier Zhu was going to sit down, Premier Zhu suddenly turned around and walked to the corner of the banquet hall and ordered the staff to give him and his secretary a working meal.
Premier Zhu and his secretary stayed in the corner with nearly 100 tables in the banquet hall and finished their work meals. Seeing this, the other guests naturally did not dare to sit in their seats to enjoy the banquet.

Premier Zhu and Premier Zhou’s “suspending banquet” behavior is different because of the different nature. The banquet that Premier Zhou gave was treated sincerely by the cadres and wanted to give Premier Zhou a good meal, so Premier Zhou just settled the bill himself and didn’t say that the banquet was not impossible.
And Premier Zhu's banquet came to the point of eating and drinking with public funds. The banquet hall of thousands of people and nearly a hundred tables of food. If this happens again and again, it will definitely cause a very bad atmosphere in the party. What Premier Zhu wants is to set an example and kill this atmosphere in the cradle.
The Prime Minister "suspended the banquet" and was concerned about the country and the people. The two Prime Ministers' actions of the banquet were all related to the country and the people. If you want to crack down on this atmosphere that is not conducive to the development of the country and the happiness of the people, it is precisely because of such a prime minister in our country that can reach a prosperous and strong step by step today.
In fact, there are more than these two prime ministers who have stopped the banquet. The act of stopping the banquet is just a way of expression. No matter which prime minister in our country, he cares about the people and serves the people.
The banquet is just a small part of the Prime Minister's concern for the country and the people, and there are still many parts that we have not seen. Nowadays, there is still a problem of using public funds to eat and drink, and the country is also cracking down on this behavior.
If every national leader can be like the two prime ministers, then the country's development will inevitably be better, and China will definitely go further and further on the road to prosperity and strength.
For the Prime Ministers who once "stopped the banquet", we should remember their actions, remember their contributions to the country, and thank them for everything they have made for the country and the people. A beautiful China can only be built by the efforts of everyone.
