On September 9, 1976, the autumn wind was bleak and the fallen leaves were flying. The walkers were walking on the road, looking hurried, as if they had not yet walked out of the shadow woven by the deaths of the two great men Zhou Enlai and Zhu De.
However, God seems to have destined that this year is a year of disasters and difficulties. On this day, the news of the death of a great man Mao Zedong spread throughout China through radio, newspapers and radio.
For a moment, The whole country was all scared and everyone was crying.
At the same time, it is worth mentioning that when the news of Chairman Mao’s death was informed by foreign media, leaders of countries and international organizations around the world expressed deep condolences for Chairman Mao’s death. Among them, 53 countries even lowered the flag for the death of this great man.
There is no doubt that Chairman Mao’s departure shook the whole world.
The great man came to an end
In that long revolutionary process, Chairman Mao once developed "bad habits" such as smoking and staying up late, and these bad habits were still maintained by him after the founding of the People's Republic of China. After decades, they gradually became various "minor problems" entangled in the Chairman.
1970, Chairman Mao, who was 77 years old at the time, occasionally suffered from cold wind. After that, although the medical team gave the elderly proper treatment as soon as possible.
However, due to the "small problems" accumulated by Chairman Mao over the years, this originally not dangerous cold eventually turned into an extremely serious pneumonia .
After that, although the medical team successfully crossed this threshold through a series of treatment methods, it finally made his already weak body even weaker, and pneumonia almost accompanied Chairman Mao’s next six years.
After the symptoms of pneumonia were relieved, the doctor once told Chairman Mao to pay attention to his mood. But the problem is that with the development of the domestic political situation in the 1970s, Chairman Mao's mood not only failed to "open up" according to the doctor's instructions, but instead became increasingly depressed due to the occurrence of a series of things.
In 1972, Marshal Chen Yi, who had a deep revolutionary friendship with Chairman Mao, passed away. The old man was naturally very sad. Unexpectedly, just as Chairman Mao was mourning about Marshal Chen Yi's death, the woman who was in the limelight at that time started working on the scale of the memorial service.
With such an episode, Chairman Mao, who was already very uneasy, became more and more excited. After that, on the day of Marshal Chen Yi's memorial service, Chairman Mao, who was originally scheduled not to attend the memorial service, was restless, and finally hurried to the scene in a dressing gown.
After attending Chen Yi's memorial service, due to the low temperature at the memorial ceremony, the thin-dressed Chairman Mao was inevitably attacked by the cold air. This also made the lung infection of , which had been under control, even more serious.
Two days later, the swelling of Chairman Mao’s legs began to spread from bottom to top, and it was also accompanied by low fever . After
, the doctor found that during the examination, the chairman's body had symptoms of increasing lung murmurs, which was arrhythmia. At this time, due to almost uninterrupted cough, Chairman could no longer sleep in bed and could only rely on sleeping on the sofa in the bedroom at night.
However, even though his body was weak to this level, Chairman Mao still expressed his clear dislike for the cumbersome process of the whole body examination, and even once became "tempered" and did not cooperate with the work of medical staff.
However, "lucky" is that since Nixon was about to visit China at that time, under the bitter persuasion of Premier Zhou and Ye Jianying, Chairman Mao finally agreed to treat it by injecting antibiotic in order to meet Nixon next time.
Thanks to the doctor's efforts to treat it, by mid-February, the swelling of the lower limbs that had plagued Chairman Mao for many days finally subsided significantly.At the same time, Chairman Mao also began his smoking cessation journey again as directed by the doctor.
In this way, Chairman Mao's physical condition improved for a while. Until the spring of 1974, his body was even enough to support him to walk outdoors alone.
At this time, Chairman Mao thought he was in good health and proposed the idea of going out for inspection. After carefully considering the issue, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee agreed with the Chairman's idea with reservations. However, it was also on the way out for inspection that the old man's body fell into weakness again.
In late autumn of 1975, as the weather gradually turned colder, lung infections made a comeback. This time, the symptoms that appeared on Chairman Mao were more dangerous than every time before -
Asthma worsened, speech unclear, swelling of lower limbs, difficulty in defecation, poor swallowing, and reduced diet. Just when the above symptoms were raging on the Chairman without exception, the bad news of the Prime Minister's death in weeks came, which further aggravated the Chairman's condition.
1976 at around 9 a.m. on January 8, 1976, Premier Zhou died of cancer in the hospital. Until around 2 pm, Meng Jinyun, who was taking care of the Chairman's daily life, carefully explained the news of the Prime Minister's death. When the Chairman heard the news, his hands trembled and tears flowed.
As the saying goes, " leaks and rains all night," just half a year after Premier Zhou's death, Mr. Zhu, who also has revolutionary friendship with Chairman Mao, also died on the bed in the hospital after years of illness.
is so exhausted in , how can you maintain a good body?
1976 On July 28, 1976, the Tangshan earthquake shocked Beijing city . At this time, Chairman Mao was so weak that he could not complete the most basic excretion alone. However, even so, the old man who was suffering from illness told Hua Guofeng:
"Go to Tangshan as soon as possible, on behalf of me, I would like to express my condolences to the people in the disaster area and resettle the lives of the victims..."
In the end, this document urging all walks of life to jointly assist Tangshan's earthquake relief work became the last document reviewed in the Chairman's life.
1976 at 0:10 am on September 9, 1976, as Chairman Mao's vital signs completely disappeared, the great leader of the Chinese people passed away.
At this point, the great man ended.
domestic vibration
0 At 6 a.m. on September 9, 1976, Fu Zhengnian, secretary who was on duty at the Secretary-General's Section of the Central Military Commission, suddenly received an emergency telegram from the Central Military Commission, requiring the entire army to enter a first-level combat readiness state.
Ye Jianying
Hearing the news, Fu Zhengnian was restless for a moment. He thought to himself: Could it be that the "Raozi" have started to transport troops to Far East ? However, he said firmly on the other end of the phone, and he had no time to ask more questions, but just obeyed the order immediately.
At 10 a.m., Marshal Ye Jianying, who was in charge of the Military Commission at the time, issued an order requiring all cadres of the Military Commission to gather in the Xishan Conference Hall for a meeting. After everyone gathered together, Ye Jianying, who looked sad, distributed an obituary to everyone present that had not yet been published in the newspaper.
Ye Jianying
"The great proletarian revolutionary of the Chinese people and the outstanding communist fighter Comrade Mao Zedong, died in Beijing at 9:57 on January 8, 1976..."
For a moment, everyone here was shocked and then sad.
According to Comrade Fu Zhengnian's recollection, after learning about the death of the Chairman, he cried intermittently all day, which was also the unified reaction of almost all comrades.
Of course, despite all the grief in my heart, the work after the Chairman left must continue.
At 4 pm on September 9, Central People's Radio started a broadcast for the people of the whole country. With the announcer's ups and downs, Countless people who have not yet walked out of the shadow of the deaths of Premier Zhou and President Zhu fell into unspeakable pain again.
Some people don’t believe in the obituaries broadcast on the radio and want to smash the radio and then go to the county magistrate to report it.

Some people don’t believe in the obituaries broadcast on the radio and want to smash the radio and then go to the county magistrate to report it.
Some people spontaneously wore black veils on their arms without waiting for the village committee to mourn the chairman.
In Beijing, as soon as the news came out, 3,000 people cried in 20 minutes. Millions of people spontaneously gathered outside the Great Hall of the People placed in the coffin of the Chairman. has not dispersed for seven days and seven nights.
At the same time, when the memorial service began, Luo Ruiqing, who was already in a wheelchair, stood solemnly with his wife's support until the ceremony ended.
Feng Youlan crying in vain at the scene, almost collapsed on the ground. After returning, he wrote several poems to express his condolences.
Luo Ruiqing
The most direct thing is General Xu Shiyou who was far away in Guangzhou at that time. When he heard the news of the Chairman's death, he almost thoughtfully and took a light and simple journey. Before the central government issued him the order to return to Beijing, he had already boarded the plane to Beijing.
When he arrived in Beijing, the Central Committee arranged for the Standing Committee of the Politburo to wake Chairman Mao. When it was Xu Shiyou's turn, he insisted on carrying a pistol while keeping his mind. The guard said that he would not allow it, and Xu Shiyou said: Chairman had personally promised that he could use a gun when he met the chairman in the future.
Xu Shiyou
In fact, in Xu Shiyou's life, Chairman Mao undoubtedly had the kindness of knowing Xu Shiyou. In 1937, Xu Shiyou decided to go back to Sichuan to fight guerrillas because of Zhang Guotao, but Chairman Mao advised him:
"Don't carry the burden on your mind. The Central Committee believes in you, I, Mao Zedong, believe in you. You and some people want to go back to Sichuan, not to build a 'counter-revolutionary' group, not to rebel, but to be unable to understand the thoughts for a while."
In this way, Xu Shiyou put down his inner burden, followed Chairman Mao's footsteps with determination, and handed over his life to Chairman Mao and the cause of communism.
Of course, there are far more people above who are deeply saddened by Chairman Mao. At the memorial ceremony of Chairman Mao in 1976, the eulogy read by Hua Guofeng undoubtedly represents everyone's voice:
"Chairman Mao Zedong will always live in our hearts!
Long live the invincible Marxism, Leninism, and Mao Zedong Thought!
Honor the great, glorious, and correct The Communist Party of China 00Long live!
The great leader and mentor Chairman Mao Zedong will be immortal! ”
Overseas evaluation
As the news of Chairman Mao’s death was made public, overseas media immediately reprinted the news. Afterwards, the great man who led China to light once received condolences from people from all over the world, and tens of thousands of condolences and letters.
Leaders of the United States, Canada, Japan and other 123 countries sent condolences to the Chinese government for Chairman Mao’s death. Representatives or leaders of 105 countries, including US Secretary of State Kissinger, also went to the Chinese Embassy to express their deep condolences.
has a total of 53 countries, which lowered the flag for Chairman Mao’s death. takes the initiative to lower the flag for the leaders of other countries , which is extremely rare in world history.
At the same time, , in the former "East Africa Small China" Ethiopia , the local government organized a team of nearly 100,000 people to hold a commemorative parade for the deceased Chairman Mao. It is hard for us to imagine how such a country that is still backward to this day organized such a parade back then.
In North Korea , although Sino-North Korea relations have become unfriendly due to the deterioration of Sino-Soviet relations, they still stopped entertainment activities throughout North Korea between September 10 and 18. Afterwards, North Korea held a memorial service for all citizens on the afternoon of the 18th, and the whole country was collectively silent for three minutes.
In Pakistan , former Pakistani Prime Minister Bhutto said that Pakistan, like the Chinese people, was shrouded in an atmosphere of grief on this day. The open space outside the Chinese Embassy in Pakistan was also "drown" by wreaths presented by the masses early on.
and on Congo , every anniversary after Chairman Mao’s death, their government will hold commemorative activities to commemorate the help given by Chairman Mao.
Of course, compared with activities organized by the state as the main body, the spontaneous commemoration of Chairman Mao by ordinary people is undoubtedly more touching.
In Jamaica , an old country man who had no idea of his relationship with China took a portrait of Chairman Mao and traveled thousands of miles to the Chinese Embassy to present a wreath for the Chairman's death.
In French , many young and middle-aged people who regard Chairman Mao as their idol took the initiative to come to the embassy, holding up the portrait of Chairman Mao and congratulating each other.
In Japanese , a former Japanese communist traveled thousands of miles, crossed many obstacles, and sent the tea he had made himself to China, hoping to use it as his final blessing to the leader.
Former French President Destin , once commented on Chairman Mao in this way, saying, "Mao Zedong's death is the extinction of the beacon of human thought."
American scholar Michael, also said that he believed, "Mao Zedong's historical status is higher than Washington , because the influence he brought to China and the world is much greater than that Washington brought to the United States and the world."
The then US President Ford said, "Chairman Mao is a giant in modern Chinese history, and his influence on history Will go far beyond China's borders."
And when the London Daily went to interview Chairman Mao's former "comrade-in-arms" Zhang Guotao, after a brief silence, Zhang Guotao just slowly uttered ten words: "Our era is over..."
Indeed, Chairman Mao's era has passed away with Chairman Mao's death, but compared to Zhang Guotao's obvious sentiment with the atmosphere of the times, the 12-word evaluation of Yang Zhenning may be more appropriate:
"He is a giant in human history."
Zhang Guotao Epilogue with Mao Zedong
:
The famous poet of my country Zang Kejia once wrote this poem:
"Some people are alive, he is dead; some people are dead, he is still alive."
Although this modern poem is to commemorate the 13th anniversary of Lu Xun's death, to this day, puts this sentence on Chairman Mao seems so appropriate.
There is nothing important in life except death.
Some people say that a person will die three times in his life: the first time is that his vital signs disappear, which is physiological death; the second time is that he is buried in the soil while crying, and people come to attend his funeral, and then he "dead" in society...
And the third time is that the last person who knows him forgets him, and then this person will usher in real death.
Is Chairman Mao really gone? No! Although he left us, he will always be with us, because the great man of will be immortal!
