Chairman Mao has been working hard for the motherland to embark on the road of prosperity and democracy, and to live a happy and stable life for the people until the last moment of his life.
In my later years, Chairman Mao's physical condition was getting worse and worse. Due to the war years, the deaths of his wife and children one after another, Chairman Mao, who should have enjoyed the joy of family, lived a very lonely life, and the secretary Zhang Yufeng was often by his side.
Because I have been with Chairman Mao for a long time, Zhang Yufeng can always guess the Chairman's intentions very accurately. For example, when the Chairman was seriously ill, when he knocked on the head of the bed three times in a row, only Zhang Yufeng could immediately guess what the Chairman was going to do.
1. I was deeply tortured by illness in my later years
In the early 1970s, Chairman Mao's physical condition frequently lit up red lights, and all kinds of problems were always frequent. In addition, the Chairman was already an elderly man in his 80s at that time, and the doctors around him always reminded him not to stay up late in , but to eat regularly and work and rest regularly.
When I was young, when the chairman encountered major events, he often didn't meet his eyes for several days and nights. He had already developed the habit of staying up late, and this habit could not be changed for a while. Due to physical reasons, the Chairman basically never went out in his later years, and sometimes he didn't even have the energy to meet his family.
Especially when the seasons change from autumn to winter, the chairman has very poor resistance and always gets seriously ill. Once, because of pneumonia and coughing all day long, the Chairman was tortured torture and could not lie down and sleep almost every moment, because he did not get enough rest, and his body would be even less likely to heal.
In January 1972, the chairman began to have a high fever due to cold infection, and the situation was very dangerous at that time. After a series of rescues, he survived this physical crisis.
In his later years, Zhang Yufeng, who was serious and careful in his work, took on all the work of taking care of the Chairman's daily life. Sometimes, seeing Chairman Mao being tortured by illness and being unpredictable, Zhang Yufeng felt very distressed.
In order to help the chairman relieve his physical illness, Zhang Yufeng tried every possible way and specially learned massage, hoping to help Chairman Mao try to relieve his pain when he was feeling uncomfortable.
At that time, Chairman Mao would not trust others easily, but it was different for Zhang Yufeng. He was even willing to hand over many important things to Zhang Yufeng for safekeeping, which shows her status in the Chairman's mind.
2. When I was seriously ill, I knocked on the head of the bed three times
1976, which was a year of grief for the whole country. Premier Zhou's death hit Chairman Mao, but the bad things were not over yet. Immediately afterwards, the appearance of Tangshan earthquake , hundreds of thousands of people died overnight, causing Chairman Mao, the 80s, to shed tears of sadness more than once.
After that, President Zhu's departure made Chairman Mao even more sad and once again suffered a heavy blow. Facing the old friends who were fighting left one after another, the Chairman was also very depressed and his physical condition was getting worse and worse. He also experienced several rescues.
September 8, 1976, Chairman Mao, who woke up from his coma, could only make a faint sound in his mouth. Many times, he could not say what he wanted to express and what he wanted to express.
When the staff around him had no way to determine the Chairman's intention, they quickly took the pen and paper. However, the Chairman's hand was not in control at all and kept trembling. In the end, he struggled to write three horizontal bars on the paper, and then he didn't have the strength to write anything more.
At this time, everyone looked at each other and didn't understand what the Chairman wanted to express. Seeing that everyone could not understand their thoughts, Chairman Mao was very anxious. After thinking for a while, the Chairman slowly raised his hand and then knocked on the head of the bed three times in a row, hoping that someone around him would understand.
However, no one can understand what the Chairman is going to do. Just when everyone was at a loss, someone invited Zhang Yufeng to the Chairman, hoping that she would help solve this "difficulty" in front of her.
3. Zhang Yufeng told the reason behind it
Zhang Yufeng had an answer in her mind after listening to the descriptions of the people present just now, and then walked gently to Chairman Mao and asked Chairman Mao if he wanted to read the information of Takeo Miki . Then the Chairman nodded silently. The staff quickly found out the relevant information and read it word by word to the chairman.
Who is Miki Takeo? Why did Chairman Mao look at his information when he was seriously ill? If you want to know these answers, will start with Sino-Japanese relations in that period.
1972, although China and Japan had established diplomatic relations, due to the impact of the world situation, there was no substantial cooperation between the two countries. However, in 1976, Japan was in the election of the new term, and Takeo Miki was actively participating in the Prime Minister's election.
As a very famous Japanese politician, Takeo Miki coincides with Chairman Mao’s ideas in many views. He has expressed his friendly attitude towards China many times in public, and plans to continue to promote cooperation between China and Japan.
If Takeo Miki can be elected as the next prime minister of Japan, then further promotion of Sino-Japanese relations will be very powerful. This result is exactly what Chairman Mao has always wanted to see.
Conclusion
After understanding the reasons behind it, everyone not only shed tears of emotion, but Chairman Mao was still concerned about national affairs when he was seriously ill and worried about the future development of the country. It is worthy of the love and admiration of each of us. Chairman Mao’s practice of always putting the interests of the country and the people first is worth learning from each of us.
