Introduction
Deng Xiaoping, who is not good-looking, is the second-generation core leader of the Communist Party of China. He once participated in the revolutionary war to liberate half of China, and he was also the "chief designer" of China's implementation of reform and opening up ; his life has experienced ups and downs, he was defeated three times, and made three comebacks.
According to Deng Xiaoping himself, especially his three years and four months of life in Jiangxi, he will never forget it for his life.
obeys the arrangement The leader went to Jiangxi
This is a great old man.
In October 1969, Deng Xiaoping and his wife Zhuo Lin were arranged to work in Xinjian County, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province. The couple moved into the general building of the local infantry school. Deng Xiaoping's labor renovation site was Xinjian County's tractor repair parts factory.
From Deng Xiaoping and his wife's residence to their workplace, it takes about six miles a day, which takes more than 40 minutes. This is a very hard work for the Party Central Committee leaders who once held important positions.
So, for the sake of Deng Xiaoping's safety and to provide convenience for the couple, the workers at the factory opened a small door from the back wall of the factory, directly took materials locally, and paved a small path on the ridge between the factory and the school.
Just like that, this winding field path is connected to the factory where Deng Xiaoping works and his residence on the other end. It is about 1.5 kilometers long, and the time is half as long as it used to be. Deng Xiaoping and his wife have been walking on this path for more than three years.
So, until today, this "Xiaoping Trail" has been recorded in history and has become a tourist attraction that many people admire.
A place where there was no road, Deng Xiaoping walked out of a path with his feet. In more than 1,200 days, the weeds were trampled flat, and the not-so-wide road surface was clearly stepped on.
This path has accompanied this 65-year-old man for more than three years. This special path is filled with power in glory. It was also on this path that Comrade Xiaoping kept thinking and achieved many national events later.
At that time, Deng Xiaoping was removed from all positions inside and outside the party and was arranged to Jiangxi, exiled to Nanchang City, and carried out labor reform at Xinjian County Tractor Repair Parts Factory.
Luo Peng is the director of the revolutionary committee in the factory. He held a special meeting to instruct everyone that all employees should keep the work of Comrade Deng Xiaoping in their factory confidentiality and not allow the disclosure, and even the family members should not disclose it.
Luo Peng is an old revolutionary cadre with a flexible mind. In order to welcome Deng Xiaoping's arrival, he also specially cleared some sensitive big-character posters from the wall. Therefore, after Deng Xiaoping came to the factory, he felt that the environment was good and the workers in the factory were easy to get along with.
Back then, Deng Xiaoping was already sixty-five years old when he arrived at the factory. The initial job was to clean parts, but Comrade Xiaoping was very uncomfortable with the smell of gasoline-like cleaning agents and was often dizzy.
Later, when he learned that Comrade Xiaoping had worked as a repairman while studying in France, Luo Peng changed Comrade Xiaoping's work to an fitter. Unexpectedly, his craftsmanship was very good. Tools such as wrench , file , and hacksaw were easy to use under his hands.
Comrade Xiaoping needs to work in the factory for at least three hours every day, but various people from the outside world still know about Xiaoping working in the tractor repair parts factory. Many people want to take a look at Deng Xiaoping. Some of these people are ordinary people, and some are rebels who make trouble. The employees of the repair factory are worried about Comrade Xiaoping's personal safety and are not allowed to enter the factory, and it is even more impossible for outsiders to enter the workshop where Comrade Xiaoping's work. Comrade Xiaoping's normal work and life are strongly protected. All the employees in the
factory affectionately called Deng Xiaoping "Old Deng". When he first came, he was in a bad complexion and had a lot of mental stress. However, after more than three years of work and study, Lao Deng was in good health and energy, which was completely different from the original one.
It is obvious that Comrade Xiaoping is isolated from the outside world in this remote small factory and slowly learns to live a peaceful life, so he has a different look.
Deep fatherly love. I often write for my children.
During the days when I was exiled to Jiangxi, Deng Xiaoping wrote many letters besides working and life. Through these letters, he talked about his life, study and work with his wife in Jiangxi, but most of the letters were related to his children.
According to Comrade Xiaoping's wife and children, in the past, he always paid attention to major issues and rarely paid attention to trivial matters in life.
So, in the eyes of Deng Xiaoping and his children, the former father was busy all day long. They did not feel deeply about fatherly love until August 1968, Deng Xiaoping's eldest son Deng Pufang jumped off the building while studying at Peking University .
Deng Xiaoping and his wife learned that their son jumped off the building, it was already the summer of 1969. After the eldest son jumped off the building, his life was saved, but his lifelong paralysis became a heart disease of his father Deng Xiaoping.
So Comrade Xiaoping wrote a letter to Chairman Mao. At the same time, with the help of Zhou Enlai and Wang Dongxing, Deng Pufang was sent to the 301 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army for treatment.
In February 1970, Deng Xiaoping, who was in Jiangxi, wrote a letter to Wang Dongxing again. The letter talked about the family's struggle with a meager salary of 205 yuan a month and could only survive and not make ends meet. The letter sincerely expressed his painstaking efforts as parents, hoping to arrange a relatively relaxed job for the eldest daughter who was sick and let the younger daughter Maomao work a little closer to her parents.
Later, when Deng Xiaoping received a reply from the central government that his living expenses could only be 205 yuan per month, and it was a new unified regulation, he expressed great understanding and did not make any other requests related to salary. He even told the Party Central Committee through a letter that sooner or later his new life in Jiangxi would get used to it! In the summer of
971, the paralyzed eldest son later returned to his parents far away in Jiangxi after going through twists and turns. The arduous care task could only be completed by 62-year-old Deng Xiaoping and 55-year-old Zhuo Lin. As old as they were, they had to turn over and change their shirts for the bedridden Deng Pufang every day, and be responsible for his food, drinking, defecation and urination. Although they worked hard, they took care of their son meticulously. Comrade Xiaoping would not forget to do one thing every day, that is, insist on applying talcum powder to his eldest son. This is very important for paralyzed patients. Keeping it dry and clean can make your son feel comfortable every day.
Whenever he talks about the situations he was taken care of by his parents in Jiangxi, Deng Pufang always sighed infinitely. He did not expect that the great father still had such a meticulous side in taking care of people. His father used to be an important leader of the country and a person who did big things.
Now, for this special situation, he put down his figure and did these messy little things. While he was moved, his nose was also sour. The dignified seven-foot-foot man couldn't help crying.
As a father, Deng Xiaoping kept writing letters to the Party Central Committee for his children, hoping to do something for the children and solve their practical difficulties.
Hard work pays off. In 1972, the youngest daughter Maomao and the youngest son Feifei were successively arranged to study at Jiangxi Medical University and Jiangxi University of Science and Technology .
Deng Xiaoping was grateful, but he did not forget to write a thank you letter to Wang Dongxing. At the same time, he also raised his concerns about his eldest son's condition not recovered, hoping to get another chance to be sent to the hospital for treatment.
The real name of her youngest daughter Maomao is Deng Rong. She said that she rarely saw her father writing letters at her desk since she was a child.
But in those special years in Jiangxi, Comrade Xiaoping repeatedly wrote letters to the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao for the work issues of his eldest daughter, for the treatment of his eldest son, and for the schooling issues of his younger daughter and his younger son, all of which were passed by Wang Dongxing.
father wrote letters for the children's affairs, and they were all for some family trivial matters. This is really nothing strange for other ordinary fathers in the world. But Deng Xiaoping is a capable person and never drags on the verge of being sluggish. He doesn't need to draft his work speech in advance, and he makes a report concisely. Even his wife, who had been with him for more than 30 years, rarely saw him writing letters because of family affairs.
However, when the prosperity faded and the whole family was in trouble, Deng Xiaoping, as the head of the family, did not hesitate to him, and he picked up his pens again and again, and sent them out letters, never getting tired of it. Deng Xiaoping’s wife Zhuo Lin roughly estimated that during that special decade, Comrade Xiaoping’s handwritten letters were more than the other 80 years in his life.
. Regarding the reason for writing such a letter, Deng Xiaoping gave the reason that his affairs have affected innocent children, so as a father, he should be better and better.
The road to come back After going through tortuous and ups and downs
972 Army Day , a large number of veteran generals such as Chen Yun and Wang Zhen who had suffered negative impacts all appeared at the reception of the Ministry of National Defense. When Deng Xiaoping saw this scene, he thought his chance to make a comeback was not far away. In April 1972, Deng Xiaoping received a reply from Premier Zhou, which stated that his monthly salary and Zhuo Lin could be paid as appropriate, and that his eldest son Deng Pufang could go to Beijing if he needed surgery. Premier Zhou's reply also gave Deng Xiaoping greater confidence in returning.
Deng Xiaoping, who seized the opportunity, then wrote a letter to Chairman Mao in August. In the letter, he made a profound reflection and clearly stated that although he was 68 years old, he was in good health and could do more work for the Party and the people. He hoped that he could make up for his merits and wait for the Party’s instructions at any time.
Chairman Mao, who has read Comrade Xiaoping's letter, said that Deng Xiaoping did make a serious mistake, but after all, it was an internal problem. Chairman Mao’s instructions were a major turning point in Deng Xiaoping’s comeback.
, Zhou Enlai has always hoped that Deng Xiaoping could come back to work for the party, and asked Chairman Mao while the iron was hot, hoping that Deng Xiaoping would continue to preside over the work as Vice Premier.
In March 1973, Deng Xiaoping returned to Beijing, where he had been away from for a long time, and the report on the restoration of Deng Xiaoping's position was also delivered to Chairman Mao by Premier Zhou. When the Chairman wrote the word "Agree", Deng Xiaoping's long-awaited comeback was finally settled.
Zhou Enlai saw that Deng Xiaoping was in good spirits and physical condition, so he arranged for him to meet Chairman Mao. When Chairman Mao met Deng Xiaoping at his residence, he stepped forward and held Comrade Xiaoping's hands tightly, asking him to work hard and take care of his health. This is also the meeting between Mao and Deng after six years.
For Deng Xiaoping's reinstatement, Zhou Enlai dragged his sick body to work hard for him. Without the help of Premier Zhou, Deng Xiaoping's comeback would not have been so fast and smooth.
On April 12, 1973, Deng Xiaoping attended a grand banquet to welcome Cambodia Prince Sihanoukville , and the news was quickly published in major news headlines. Premier Zhou personally introduced Deng Xiaoping to Sihanouk and emphasized that he is China's Vice Premier of the State Council.
8 In August, Deng Xiaoping attended the 10th Congress of the Communist Party of China and was elected as one of the members of the Central Committee. On December 12 of the same year, Chairman Mao proposed at the Politburo meeting chaired by him that Deng Xiaoping would become a member of the Politburo and participate in the work of the Politburo, and also become a member of the Military Commission and participate in the work of the Military Commission.
On September 20, 1975, the seriously ill Zhou Enlai urgently needed surgery. Facing Deng Xiaoping who came to visit, Zhou En said that he did not expect that Comrade Xiaoping did such a good job after his comeback, which was much better than he thought.
976, Zhou Enlai passed away. People from many cities in China spontaneously organized mourning Zhou Enlai, triggering the famous "April 5 Movement". In 1976, the first anniversary of Premier Zhou's death, Ye Jianying and other older generation revolutionaries called on President Hua Guofeng, hoping that Deng Xiaoping could be restored to his post and come out to work.
On July 16 of the same year, the Third Plenary Session of the 10th Central Committee unanimously passed the "Resolution on Restoring Comrade Deng Xiaoping's Leadership Position". Deng Xiaoping made his third comeback and continued to serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, Vice Chairman of the CPC Central Committee, Chairman of the Central Military Commission, and Vice Premier of the State Council.
Conclusion
Some people say that Chairman Mao always deliberately protects Deng Xiaoping at the most critical moment with the special way of retaining Deng Xiaoping's party membership.In addition, Premier Zhou has been protecting Deng Xiaoping. As the saying goes, things in the world are unpredictable, and Deng Xiaoping is a person with tenacious political vitality.
In those unpredictable years, Deng Xiaoping is a person who will never sink. At some special moments and at some specific opportunities, his unextinguished political life fire will be ignited again.
