The atmosphere of grief permeates the whole country for a long time, but the grief is sad. The series of arrangements after Chairman Mao’s death did not stop due to grief.

bad news came, Chairman Hua Guofeng was planning and planning

Since 1976, Chairman Mao's condition has become more serious, and he needs to be fed by a special person for all three meals and medicines.

On the day of critical illness, Hua Guofeng was receiving foreign guests and as the host was holding a banquet.

When the staff sent the news that Chairman Mao was critically ill, Hua Guofeng immediately left the banquet and rushed to Chairman Mao's bedroom as fast as possible, wanting to see Chairman Mao for the last time.

But when he saw Chairman Mao again, Chairman Mao had already passed away.

Hua Guofeng suppressed his strong sadness and immediately started the follow-up work.

He immediately informed him and held an emergency meeting in Zhongnanhai to discuss relevant matters after Chairman Mao’s death with all participants:

First of all, how to carry out Chairman Mao’s funeral work, secondly, how to arrange the placement of the remains, and finally, the condolences of the people of the whole country and foreign delegations at the funeral. After discussion, the body was preserved first. Everyone agreed that this task needs to be carried out immediately because the official funeral has not been held yet. When the people and representatives of various countries came to pay their respects, the last request of Chairman Mao should be met.

So Hua Guofeng re-established an office in the State Council to be responsible for this matter, called the Ninth Office of the State Council, and sent a special person to protect Chairman Mao’s body. The staff of the Ninth Office worked with the doctor to first treat Chairman Mao’s body with anti-corrosion, so that it can be used for the people and foreign envoys to pay homage to the memorial service.

followed by Chairman Mao’s makeup. Office 9 invited a special makeup artist to handle Chairman Mao’s remains. At the same time, he urgently designed a new set of Zhongshan outfits for Chairman Mao to wear. After the memorial service, the central government decided to build crystal coffin forever preserve Chairman Mao’s body

Next is Chairman Mao’s memorial service. The central government decided to transfer Chairman Mao’s body to Great Hall of the People from September 11 to September 17 for the visiting people to pay condolences.

lasted until the last day, with more than 300,000 mourning people, which shows the people's longing for Chairman Mao.

Due to the large number of mourners, the temperature in the Great Hall of the People is high, which will greatly damage the protection of the body.

Some even suggested that Chairman Mao’s body admiration session be completed in advance and use photos instead, so that the body can be better protected.

However, Hua Guofeng and others believe that this will have a bad impact on China and abroad, and the body must be placed in the Great Hall of the People until the last day of the memorial service.

Finally, the Great Hall of the People adopted a cooling method and continued the memorial service until the last day. After the memorial service of

Preface: On September 9, 1976, Chairman Mao, who had gone through the 83 spring and autumn, passed away suddenly in Beijing after Premier Zhou and Commander-in-Chief Zhu died one after another. - DayDayNews

, Hua Guofeng personally instructed to transfer Chairman Mao’s body to a hidden place for temporary resettlement, codenamed “769”.

According to Chairman Mao’s idea during his lifetime, he should be cremated and buried in the cemetery designated by Babaoshan . However, considering Chairman Mao’s great contribution to our country’s revolutionary cause and national liberation, as the people’s leader, his body should be admired by the people.

So the central government decided to permanently preserve Chairman Mao's body. In order to better preserve the body, it decided to draw on the experience of Vietnam and the Soviet Union to make a crystal coffin.

is the first of all, the mining of crystals. Experts in Beijing unanimously believe that Donghai County has the largest crystal mineral in my country.

So the raw material site was finalized. When the Donghai County Party Committee received this task, it immediately called on the people of the county to join the crystal mining work.

Preface: On September 9, 1976, Chairman Mao, who had gone through the 83 spring and autumn, passed away suddenly in Beijing after Premier Zhou and Commander-in-Chief Zhu died one after another. - DayDayNews

After the struggle of the people of Donghai County, a total of 35.2 tons of natural high-quality crystals were mined six times in the first and second time.

Secondly, the crystal coffin itself must be grand and generous, and the people must also clearly see Chairman Mao’s face from the outside. This task was arduous and was finally handed over to the 605 Factory that produced glass and silicon at that time.

, but only factory 605 is not fully qualified for this important task. Finally, it was made by three confidentiality units in China, and the other two are a glass factory in Shanghai and a glass factory in Jinzhou .

Beijing 605 Factory is responsible for the development of the top, front and back of the coffin, the Shanghai Glass Factory develops both sides, the Jinzhou Glass Factory develops the bottom, and finally the assembly is completed in Beijing. Even so, it was very difficult given the situation at that time. The sample of the crystal coffin was submitted twice and was rejected. It was not until the third time that it was made using a brand new process, and the manufacturing process lasted for ten months.

Preface: On September 9, 1976, Chairman Mao, who had gone through the 83 spring and autumn, passed away suddenly in Beijing after Premier Zhou and Commander-in-Chief Zhu died one after another. - DayDayNews

crystal coffin was successfully delivered in Beijing. In September 1977, Chairman Mao's body finally left the place code-named "769" and went to the memorial hall where the people were thinking about it. After the completion of the

Memorial Hall, representatives of Beijing Factory 605 were specially approved to pay close attention to Chairman Mao.

The site selection of Mao Zedong Memorial Hall is also in line with the construction of

and the production of crystal coffins. The design, site selection and production of the memorial hall are also in line with the design, site selection and production of the memorial hall. The site selection plan for

Preface: On September 9, 1976, Chairman Mao, who had gone through the 83 spring and autumn, passed away suddenly in Beijing after Premier Zhou and Commander-in-Chief Zhu died one after another. - DayDayNews

was first used to use the principle of site selection for mausoleums.

The first one is the "water sunrise". The designers believe that Chairman Mao has worked hard all his life, and a beautiful place is more suitable for him to sleep. However, the design team visited Zhongnanhai, Kunming Lake ... and other places, but none of them satisfies the design team.

The second plan is "Red Star on the Top of the Mountain". Everyone thinks that Chairman Mao is watching the sun rise and fall on the top of the mountain, and he takes care of the people himself. The design team of

was the first to think of Xiangshan, which was where Chairman Mao planned in the late stage of the Liberation War, and had certain political significance.

At the same time, the environment there is also very suitable. It is surrounded by mountains, which can well reflect the solemnity of mourning, and the admiration hall can also be placed in the cave.

However, after considering it, everyone thinks that this plan is still inappropriate, because it is too far from the urban area, which is not conducive to the people's respect for Chairman Mao. Moreover, Chairman Mao came from the masses and did not want to be too far away from the masses. At the same time, there is still a lack of water source here.

The third plan is Jingshan . Jingshan is located on the central axis of Beijing. On the top of Jingshan, you can also directly view Tiananmen Square . The people's admiration for it can also be reflected on the top of Jingshan.

However, the space here is too narrow to build the Memorial Hall very well. At the same time, it was once called Coal Mountain, which was the place where Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty hanged himself. It was really inappropriate to use it to build the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall. The design team of

Preface: On September 9, 1976, Chairman Mao, who had gone through the 83 spring and autumn, passed away suddenly in Beijing after Premier Zhou and Commander-in-Chief Zhu died one after another. - DayDayNews

was at a loss at this time. Someone thought that Chairman Mao once said that he would build Tiananmen into the place that the people of our country like to go the most, so the design team gave up the inherent mausoleum design thinking and thought about designing the memorial hall among the people. The design team of

submitted a report on designing the memorial hall in Tiananmen Square. After receiving the report, the central leader made a detailed discussion and finally decided to select the address at the southern end of Tiananmen Square.

is the original position of Zhonghuamen , and that location is not far from People's Heroes Monument , which has a good meaning. After

, the construction of the building began. The appearance was finalized as a square, solemn and solemn, very harmonious with the surrounding environment, and very suitable for condolences.The

Memorial Hall began to be built in 1976 and was completed in August 1977. This building, with an area of ​​57,200 square meters, was built in just half a year with the efforts of the people of the whole country. The

Memorial Hall has three floors in total. First, the six big words "Chairman Mao Memorial Hall" at the main entrance are caught in the eyes. This was written by Hua Guofeng, who was then the Chairman of the Military Commission and Premier of the State Council. The first layer of

is used to place crystal coffins, so that people can better mourn the great people.

In addition, the showroom also houses the achievements of older generation leaders such as Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou and Commander-in-Chief Zhu. The second floor of

is the playroom for some exhibition items and movies. The basement of the memorial hall is the warehouse and office of the memorial hall staff. The exterior of the memorial hall is supported by 44 columns and is solemn and solemn.

The foundation of Chairman Mao Memorial Hall has many layers, but it is not high, making Chairman Mao look so approachable.

Entering the hall, a human-shaped white marble sculpture came into view. The person was none other than our leader Chairman Mao. He smiled and looked at the people entering the hall, and the person who made people feel kind to me was right in front of him.

White Marble Jade behind the sculpture is hung with an exquisite mural of "The Land of the Motherland", depicting the beautiful country of the motherland. This painting weighs about 300 kilograms, and the painting and sculpture are integrated.

Since then, the construction of this Chairman Mao memorial hall that embodies the affection of the people of the whole country has finally been completed. Important leaders of the Party and the country are all absent on the day of the inauguration ceremony, and Hua Guofeng personally delivered a speech. Many years after

Preface: On September 9, 1976, Chairman Mao, who had gone through the 83 spring and autumn, passed away suddenly in Beijing after Premier Zhou and Commander-in-Chief Zhu died one after another. - DayDayNews

, every September 9, Hua Guofeng would drive to the memorial hall to pay his respects to this great people's leader and revolutionary mentor.

Guarding Chairman Mao Memorial Hall is the honor of the People's Liberation Army soldiers. After the memorial hall was completed, the Party Central Committee sent the People's Liberation Army to garrison. So why not the Armed Police Force guarding the Memorial Hall?

We know that the primary responsibility of the People's Liberation Army is to defend the country and defend the territory, resist foreign invasions, and use it to guard the memorial hall, which seems inappropriate.

There are always exceptions in everything. Chairman Mao personally created the PLA, standardized the establishment and ideas of the PLA, and made contributions and role models.

Since 1927, the Autumn Harvest Uprising has been in full swing under the leadership of Chairman Mao. After that, the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base was founded in China. This is the first rural revolutionary base in my country and was created by Chairman Mao himself. After

, he successfully joined forces with Chen Yi and Zhu De's Nanchang Uprising Army to build the Fourth Army of our Party.

This Mao Chairman Mao focused on the future in advance and actively made rectifications. He finally completed the famous " Sanwan Adaptation " at the end of 1929.

The army firmly grasped the Communists themselves, and the army's political thoughts were also strengthened.

At the same time, compared with the Kuomintang’s political propaganda, Chairman Mao focused on reality, defeated the local tyrants and divided the land and did mass work.

let the people see what is the People's Army that truly considers the people, effectively breaking the false political propaganda of the Kuomintang and laying a solid mass foundation for our party.

Later, more and more people were willing to send their children to the People's Liberation Army, which was completely contrary to the Kuomintang's arrest of strong men to participate in wars against the will of the people. After

, he faced several large-scale "encirclement and suppression" by the Kuomintang. Chairman Mao helped the Red Army to successfully escape through his own strategic layout. He flew to the Long March on the way to capture the Luding Bridge and crossing the Chishui River in the four crossings of the Chishui River. After the Xiangjiang Battle

Preface: On September 9, 1976, Chairman Mao, who had gone through the 83 spring and autumn, passed away suddenly in Beijing after Premier Zhou and Commander-in-Chief Zhu died one after another. - DayDayNews

After the Xiangjiang Battle , the strength of the Red Army was seriously damaged. Chairman Mao was appointed as the defeated army at the Zunyi Conference and was ordered to be in danger. He fully led the People's Army to arm the armed resistance to the Kuomintang reactionary group.

1935, domestic conflicts had risen to Sino-Japanese conflict, and the Japanese were so ambitious that it was horrifying.

Chairman Mao is bold and actively advocates cooperation between the two parties and establishes an anti-Japanese national united front. The great man has an admirable belly.

In 1937, the war to fully fight against the Japanese invaders began. Chairman Mao analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of China and Japan and proposed many classic war theories.

For example, " on the protracted war ", effectively foreseeing this long-lasting war. Just actively resist, the Japanese will always fail.

also has a theory of guerrilla warfare, which is difficult to win from the front battlefield. However, the Chinese army is familiar with the topography and rich resources. These advantages can help the military and civilians effectively resist foreign invaders.

finally has the people's war idea that makes even the invaders unable to solve. It is different from terrorism, but it can make the invaders deeply trapped in the quagmire of war. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, our army has already had a certain scale and strength. Chairman Mao once again actively promoted military, political and economic reforms within the army and realized the three major democracy.

guided the People's Army to adopt strategic defense, keep a low profile, and take the initiative to counterattack at the right time, liberated Nanjing, and drove Chiang Kai-shek , which had strong support from the United States, to Taiwan Island.

Chairman Mao made an indelible contribution to the people's army's ability to create many miracles in history, and the People's Liberation Army soldiers admired Chairman Mao very much.

is a great honor for any soldier, so this is not a misuse, but a real name.

also considers the fact that the People's Armed Police Force was officially established in 1983. After its establishment, the central leaders also felt that there was no need to change the People's Liberation Army into an armed police.
