Since the age of twenty, Li Yinqiao has been working with Mao Zedong as a guard.

: From 1947 to 1962, Li Yinqiao spent fifteen years with the Chairman.

After leaving Chairman Mao, in Li Yinqiao's mind, the great man's voice, appearance and smile did not blur with the passage of time, and all this was not only because of the stories that happened in that period of time that made him unforgettable.

Li Yinqiao

Also because of the words Chairman Mao said to him during the separation:

"You are closer than my child."

"Don't want to" become the guardian of the chairman

In August 1947, with Chiang Kai-shek tearing up the Double Ten Agreement that the two sides had gone through unforgettably and finally signed after a lot of hardships, at the order of Hu Zongnan , who was ready to go on, led his troops to rush towards our party's Yan'an base.

At this moment, Chairman Mao stood alone on the side of Yan'an rushing away, thinking about the gains and losses of Yan'an and the future national revolutionary situation.

stood there for a while, Chairman Mao took out a cigarette from his arms, and the secretary and guard standing next to the chairman Ye Zilong quickly took out a match and wanted to light a cigarette for the chairman. However, because the autumn wind was so strong that day, Ye Zilong failed to light the cigarette several times in a row, and then made the already low-spirited chairman look angry.

Just now, under the "suggestion" of Premier Zhou, the soldier Li Yinqiao, who was standing beside him, walked forward quickly, took out several matches from the matchbox and gathered them into "torch". After a "swish", the "torch" lit the Chairman's smoke, which also illuminated the Chairman's mood.

"Little soldier, what's your name?"

took a deep breath, and the chairman vomited a smoke ring from his mouth, and what was spit out was his inquiry to Li Yinqiao. After hearing the Chairman's question, Li Yinqiao immediately stood attentively and saluted, and said his name to the Chairman without being humble or arrogant.

Li Yinqiao (first from left), and Chairman Mao

Li Yinqiao is from Anping County, Hebei. After Hebei fell into the hands of the Japanese invaders, his parents sent him to Wudang Mountain at a young age to avoid the brutal rule of the Japanese, and were recorded as a lay disciple by Wudang Mountain. Therefore, he hastily learned some kung fu such as Tai Chi and Tai Chi Sword .

In 1938, Li Yinqiao joined the army. Because he came from Wudang Mountain, Li Yinqiao's leader He Long felt novel at that time, so he summoned him to his side and let him become a spy agent. Afterwards, Li Yinqiao was indeed extremely brave in the battle. He Long, who was happy in , attached more importance to this "good boy".

He Long

Not long after, He Long simply sent him to Yan'an, hoping that he could go to a higher level after studying in Yan'an, so Li Yinqiao appeared next to the Yan River in Yan'an.

After Li Yinqiao introduced himself, Chairman Mao stared at the young man who seemed quite brave and knowledgeable and said with a smile:

"How is it? Are you willing to work here? Be my guardian."

Ye Zilong

Ye Zilong

Chairman's voice fell, and Ye Zilong was shocked by the way he worked with the chairman all year round and quickly adjusted his mentality, but he was still shocked by the chairman's move of not following the routine.

Unexpectedly, Ye Zilong just adjusted his mentality from the surprise brought by the chairman's words, and Li Yinqiao on the other side said another unexpected thing.

only listened to Li Yinqiao saying: "I don't want to."

Ye Zilong (first from left), and Chairman Mao

"contracted" three times with Chairman

"not willing" as soon as he said the sentence "I don't want to" suddenly froze, Ye Zilong quietly went to see the Chairman's face, and then found that even the Chairman did not seem to have expected that Li Yinqiao would make this happen for him.

However, despite being stunned for a moment, the chairman adjusted his emotions and continued to say to Li Yinqiao:

"Well, you can tell the truth, this is very good. I like you tell the truth very much. So can you tell me why you are not willing to work here?"

Since he was twenty years old, Li Yinqiao has been working with Mao Zedong as a guard. By counting it, from 1947 to 1962, Li Yinqiao spent fifteen years with the Chairman. - DayDayNews

Listen to the chairman's words and asked sincerely. Li Yinqiao, who had just refused the chairman's recruitment, became a little cramped. He thought for a moment, and finally decided to say something: "I have been working for too long. I have been a serviceman and a guard at Commander He Long... Now I want to go down. Force! "

Speaking of this, Ye Zilong showed a look that was so and deserving, but the chairman continued to ask:

"Is there only one reason? Is there any other reason?"

Since he was twenty years old, Li Yinqiao has been working with Mao Zedong as a guard. By counting it, from 1947 to 1962, Li Yinqiao spent fifteen years with the Chairman. - DayDayNews

"No... I just kept thinking about going to the army, otherwise when I got to the chairman's side, why did he ask to leave as soon as he came..."

"But I do 'like' you, what should I do? We both have to have a 'compromise'."

"..."

said this. Even if Li Yinqiao was stupid, he could hear the meaning of the Chairman's words. However, just when he gritted his teeth and was about to "compromise" with the Chairman, the Chairman spoke first:

Since he was twenty years old, Li Yinqiao has been working with Mao Zedong as a guard. By counting it, from 1947 to 1962, Li Yinqiao spent fifteen years with the Chairman. - DayDayNews

"That's it, it's not okay to not explain the big truth. When you come to me, we just divide the labor and serve the people... But we can't just talk about the big truth. We can't just talk about the big truth. We can't be too wronged. We both make some compromises."

Speaking of this, Chairman Mao made a gesture and said: "Half a year, you can help me for half a year, it's me. During this period of time, I 'borted' you. If you still want to go out at the right time, I will let you out. Do you think it's okay?"

Li Yinqiao heard this and thought in his heart. He immediately nodded vigorously and said: "Okay!"

This is the story of Chairman Mao and Li Yinqiao "contracting" . It was just a small episode that happened in the context of Hu Zongnan's army. But it was also this "small episode" that eventually made Li Yinqiao become the closest guard to the chairman after this half-year "gentleman's appointment".

During the days around Chairman Mao, Li Yinqiao quickly became familiar with the Chairman's character, so gradually, whether he wanted tea, beg for food, book, pen, or even "get angry" and didn't want to see guests, Li Yinqiao could see it from the Chairman's eyes.

This tacit understanding made Chairman Mao very happy , but after leaving Yan'an, half a year was said to be long or short, but just passed by in a flash.

That's it. Time came on February 19, 1948. On this day, Chairman Mao was blocked by Hu Zongnan's siege and blocked him to Yangjiagou . Walking on the hillside of Yangjiagou, Chairman Mao remembered that the half-year appointment with Li Yinqiao was about to expire, and his face seemed quite worried for a moment...

At this time, Li Yinqiao rushed up from behind. The chairman turned his head and said to him tentatively:

"We have a half-year agreement, you still remember... I calculated the time. It's exactly half a year since today. We have an appointment first. I will not break my promise. If you want to leave, I can arrange it for you to be under President Peng. You are my guard leader, so let you start as a squad leader?"

Hearing Chairman Mao say this, Li Yinqiao was in a daze. It turned out that even he himself had forgotten that it was about to arrive. At the same time, it has to be said that during the period of time he was with the Chairman, he had actually been attracted by the Chairman's personality charm.

But...

"The chairman has agreed to let me leave, so the previous agreement is over. Of course, I still want to go out to join the army, but if the chairman needs it, , then we can make a new contract..."

Li Yinqiao's words made Chairman Mao, who was originally depressed, smiled, and the two of them were just like this. After a few words, he "signed" the agreement for the next six months. The chairman also smiled and told Li Yinqiao:

"Help me for another half a year, and see me defeat Hu Zongnan!"

By the time of August 1948, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China had moved to Xibaipo , and at this time Li Yinqiao was still by the Chairman's side and his position had become the head guard of the Chairman.

On this day, the half-year agreement expired again, and the chairman took a break from his busy schedule and told Li Yinqiao:

"Give me a while more to see if I completely defeat Chiang Kai-shek!"

But at this time, Li Yinqiao was deeply attracted by the Chairman's wisdom and courage to turn the world around. He said:

"Chairman, don't 'borrow' anymore, I won't I want to leave, I am willing to follow you all the time in the future."

Chairman Mao also got furious

Of course, after Li Yinqiao formed an "agreement" with the chairman for 15 years, and the two have become more and more tacit in getting along day and night, but this does not mean that there will be no problems between the two.

On March 4, 1950, Chairman Mao returned to Zhongnanhai after 88 days away from Beijing. Just the second day after the Chairman returned, Li Yinqiao, who had been out for inspection and inspection with the Chairman, was about to pick up his wife Han Guixin from Xiangshan.

Speaking of Han Guixin and Li Yinqiao's marriage, the two met shortly after Li Yinqiao served as the chairman's guard in 1947. At the beginning, because Li Yinqiao was naturally warm, although she fell in love with the girl who helped take care of her children at the Chairman's house, she did not dare to pursue her.

Later, the chairman saw Li Yinqiao's love buried in his heart and became a matchmaker for the two of them. Then the two came together. As for such fun things, there are many things between Li Yinqiao and Chairman Mao.

Chairman Mao and Li Yinqiao's family

After Han Guixin arrived in Zhongnanhai, Chairman Mao specially ordered the kitchen to cook a few more dishes in order to "congratulate" Li Yinqiao.

During the chat at the dinner table, Chairman Mao asked Han Guixin several questions about Xiangshan, but Han Guixin accidentally said: A leading cadre found a quiet hillside for himself on Xiangshan. With the time of construction for the public, he actually built a two-story building for himself, but he had not moved in yet.

As a result, naturally, Chairman Mao became more and more angry the more he heard it. Li Yinqiao also hurriedly interrupted his wife's words...

Unexpectedly, on the afternoon of the next day, Li Yinqiao was standing guard outside the Juxiang Bookstore (Chairman Mao's residence), and saw Premier Zhou Enlai and Marshal Nie Rongzhen enter the house, and then he saw the leading cadre who built his house in Xiangshan walk into the house.

As the door was gently closed, Li Yinqiao quickly heard the movements coming from the room.

Of course, most of is the chairman's "swearing" -

Since he was twenty years old, Li Yinqiao has been working with Mao Zedong as a guard. By counting it, from 1947 to 1962, Li Yinqiao spent fifteen years with the Chairman. - DayDayNews

"I think you are really pretty, it's almost the same as the emperors and generals in the past!"

"You are still worthy of being a cadre of Communist Party ? The people are going to poke our backbone and scold us! I have said a long time ago that you should not learn to be Li Zicheng after entering the city. Are you pretending to be stupid now? "

"Are you wrong? Why didn't you know you were wrong when you built a house? I think you were relying on some power in your hands to commit it knowingly!" "

" Pull it out, pull it out and shoot it!"

As the tone gradually rises, Li Yinqiao could hear the chairman's increasing anger even when he stood outside. When the word "shooting" blurted out from the chairman's mouth, Li Yinqiao knew that the chairman was completely angry.Then, only after hearing the persuasion of Premier Zhou Enlai and Marshal Nie Rongzhen from the door, the Chairman gradually calmed down and said:

"We Communists serve the people, not to come here to enjoy, and corruption is not allowed. If this continues, it will become Li Zicheng!" Chairman

Since he was twenty years old, Li Yinqiao has been working with Mao Zedong as a guard. By counting it, from 1947 to 1962, Li Yinqiao spent fifteen years with the Chairman. - DayDayNews

Chairman calmed down, Premier Zhou and Marshal Nie immediately agreed, saying that they would deal with it seriously in accordance with legal procedures after the investigation and would never be lenient! "In this way, Premier Zhou and Marshal Nie walked out of the study with the official leader who made the mistake. Then, Chairman Mao's "lazy" voice came from the room: "Li Yinqiao, come in." "

After hearing the call of the chairman, Li Yinqiao shuddered and walked into the chairman's apartment quickly. The room was covered with mist and the smell of smoke. The chairman said: "Yinqiao, I said before, I am very happy to tell the truth. Now tell me, do you know the matter of building a small building on Xiangshan Mountain? "

Since he was twenty years old, Li Yinqiao has been working with Mao Zedong as a guard. By counting it, from 1947 to 1962, Li Yinqiao spent fifteen years with the Chairman. - DayDayNews

Li Yinqiao was stunned when he heard this. After reacting, he immediately promised the Chairman confidently that he would never know, otherwise he would tell the Chairman as soon as he heard the news... Through the smoke, the Chairman looked at Li Yinqiao deeply, and then he reminded earnestly:

"Remember to tell Gui Xin that you must not hide this kind of thing next time you encounter such a thing. Even if you don't tell the government, you must tell me. I will tell you directly that I was very angry at that time! "

Li Yinqiao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and naturally said it was...

Li Yinqiao (first from left), and ended up with Chairman Mao

: You are more close than my children

The ancients said: "Send you thousands of miles, and you must be separated in the end. "

As the guard who stayed with the chairman for the longest time, there was a fate of "matchmaking" between the two, anecdotes of "gentlemen's appointment", and also an "angering" and lessons from the chairman's anger. However, when time came to 1962, this fate finally came to an end with Chairman Mao's proactive request.

Just after Li Yinqiao accompanied the chairman to Beijing from Shaanxi, Chairman Mao He took the initiative to ask the head guard who had been with him day and night for 15 years to serve as deputy director of the Tianjin Police Bureau, and told him that he could no longer "tether" to the other party.

But the news came suddenly, Li Yinqiao couldn't make a turn for the time being. After the appointment, he specially found Chairman Mao:

"I didn't want to come at the beginning, so you lend me it. Now I don’t want to leave, so you chase me away again! Isn’t this a difficult situation for me! "

Chairman Mao felt very uncomfortable when he heard Li Yinqiao say this. After a long time, the Chairman who stabilized his emotions slowly said:

"I can't bear to leave either. My children and I don't meet a few times a year. I just spend time with you day and night. You are even more close than my children, but you can't always follow me. I'm old..."

Chairman Mao and Li Yinqiao's family

said something, and both of them spoke sincerely, and Li Yinqiao finally understood Chairman Mao's painstaking efforts. Before leaving, the Chairman wrote a poem "Seven-character Code: Long March" to Li Yinqiao and his wife, and specially ordered that Li Yinqiao's special pass not to be taken away.

He told Li Yinqiao:

"I am alive, you are alive, you come to see me occasionally, I go to Tianjin to see you too, I die, you are dead, you are satisfied if you can go to my grave to see me once a year. ”
