On February 19, 1997, a piece of news spread throughout the country: Deng Xiaoping, a great man of the generation, passed away. A bad news was astonishing as the world was raining in the river.
Deng Xiaoping is a great Marxist, and the main leader of the People's Republic of China and the chief designer of China's socialist reform and opening up and modernization. He has been in a military and governing the country throughout his life, and has made great contributions to China's reform and development, and is deeply loved by the people.
A few days before Deng Xiaoping's death, Deng Xiaoping, who knew that there was not much time, endured the pain caused by the illness, held his wife Zhuo Lin's hand and said weakly: " I have not had much time, but I still have a wish. You must help me realize it..."
Deng Xiaoping
What is the wish that makes this old man still think about it before his death?
The story in spring, from here,
" 1979
That's a One spring
An old man drew a circle beside South China Sea in China
rises like a city
miraculously gathers mountains of gold
..."
The old man in this song refers to Deng Xiaoping, who is known as the chief designer of "China reform and opening up " .
In 1904, Deng Xiaoping was born in Deng Xiaoping, Paifang Village, Guang'an County, Sichuan Province, with his original name Deng Xiansheng. As the eldest son of the family, his father Deng Shaochang has high hopes for him. When he was 5 years old, his father sent him to a private school for enlightenment education, and the private school teacher gave him the scientific name "Xixian".
Deng Shaochang
Under his father's strict teachings, Deng Xiaoping has received from his father's opposition to feudal thoughts since he was a child. On May 4, 1919, due to the failure of the Paris Peace Conference diplomacy, an unprecedented revolutionary struggle against imperialism and feudality broke out in the country: the "May Fourth Patriotic Movement".
It is this movement that prompted the "Work-Study Campaign to Study in France" to reach its climax. Nearly 2,000 Chinese youth went to France to study and study the workers' movement, socialism and Marxism, just to seek the truth of saving the country! Deng Xiaoping became a member of the "Work-Study Movement in France" under the influence of his father.
1919, Deng Xiaoping was admitted to the Preparatory School for Work-Study and Studying in France in Chongqing, Sichuan. A year later, in August 1920, Deng Xiaoping, who had successfully graduated, took a mail boat from Shanghai with his luggage, and embarked on the road to study in France amid the sound of a whistle. After arriving in France, Deng Xiaoping was sent to Bayer Middle School in Normandy, western France to study languages, and then he will start formally studying middle school courses.
But before Deng Xiaoping started to complete language learning, he left school. Why? The reason is very simple, because he has no money.
In order to continue to stay in France, Deng Xiaoping first went to the Schneider Steel Factory and became an steel rolling worker. He worked for more than 50 hours a week, but he could only get a lower salary than an apprentice. After 3 weeks, Deng Xiaoping decided to make another way to make a living. After
, Deng Xiaoping came to work in a rubber factory in a town about 100 kilometers southeast of Paris. It was also here that Deng Xiaoping met revolutionaries such as Cai Hesen and Zhou Enlai, joined the "Youth Communist Party" of the Chinese Youth Communist Party in Europe, and became the youngest member of the "Chinese Youth Communist Party in Europe". He made great contributions to the bimonthly "Chi Guang" of the branch of the European Travel Branch, and was also named the elegant name of "Miophobic Dr." .
1920, Deng Xiaoping, who was working part-time in France to study, started Deng Xiaoping's revolutionary career.
Deng Xiaoping, who embarked on the revolutionary road, quickly grew into a person who could stand alone. Under the arrangement of the Communist Party, Deng Xiaoping went to the Soviet Union's Oriental University and Moscow's Sun Yat-sen University for further studies. Studying in the Soviet Union allowed Deng Xiaoping to establish a firm belief in communism. It is this belief that accompanied him in his struggle for the country that has never changed in his life.
In 1927, Deng Xiaoping, who had achieved success in his studies, returned to the country and was then sent to the Feng Yuxiang National Army Coalition of Xi'an to engage in political work.It was also this year. After the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party broke down, in order to smoothly carry out the party's underground work, Deng Xiaoping's name "Deng Xixian" that has been with Deng Xiaoping for more than 20 years was officially changed to Deng Xiaoping.
literary ability to promote, martial arts Long March
1934, the Red Army 0,000-mile Long March kicked off.
does not have enough resources and has not experienced training. Tens of thousands of Red Army soldiers embarked on their journey with their faith. Along the way, the Red Army on the Long March looked for a glimmer of vitality in the situation of dying. No one knows where the vitality lies, and no one knows whether it will succeed. But in this case, they persevered and won.
Deng Xiaoping
And in this Long March, the Red Star newspaper that Deng Xiaoping was responsible for played a crucial role.
As the only newspaper at that time, Deng Xiaoping realized the importance of "Red Star". According to the situation at that time, he published various articles that suited the actual situation, ranging from "Methods to Solve the Strawshoe Problem" to "Strengthening Force Air Defense Work" and various military policies, which greatly improved the survival rate of the soldiers.
On the Long March, Deng Xiaoping did not forget his propaganda work, compiled various popular rumor and limerick poems, which brought some vitality to the hard-working soldiers and had a deeper understanding of the revolutionary spirit. Finally, with the company of "Red Star" newspaper, in 1936, the main force of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army successfully completed the Long March.
0,000 miles Long March concept
, and shortly after the Long March, the War of Resistance Against Japan broke out in full swing. According to Mao Zedong's deployment, Deng Xiaoping and the division commander Liu Bocheng led 120,000 troops to cross the Yellow River, enter southwestern Shandong, and advance all the way into the Dabie Mountains. Finally, after 28 days of battle, the troops of the four enemy divisions were wiped out.
It was this attack that fundamentally changed the situation of the entire battle formation.
Deng Xiaoping and Liu Bocheng
From southwestern Shandong to Dabie Mountains, thousands of miles apart, with many passes, while Huaihe is a big difficulty they have overcome. In August, the Huai River was drizzling continuously. Deng Xiaoping and Liu Bocheng arrived by the Huai River. Looking at the Huai River that had already started to rise, they felt assured. There is no shadow of any ferry on the bank of the Huai River. Without a ferry, they would not be able to cross the river.
"How do we pass this river?" the little soldier next to him asked. Deng Xiaoping and Liu Bocheng looked at each other and made a decision in their hearts: "This river can be passed! Even if you walk, you have to walk over! I'll try the water first!" After that, Liu Bocheng took the lead in getting down the river. He walked forward all the way and reached the deepest river. The water depth had just reached his neck. Deng Xiaoping, who advanced into the Dabie Mountains, saw this and turned around to order the soldiers, saying, "Collective! Cross the river! Later, the river water should rise!" After that, he led a group of soldiers across the Huai River. Many years later, when Deng Xiaoping mentioned this matter, he still remembered the tension at that time.
brought countless springs to China
0After the founding of New China, Deng Xiaoping brought springs to students, science and technology and economy. In 1977, tens of millions of young people ushered in their spring - The People's Daily released its headlines: resumed the college entrance examination !
On August 4, 1977, Deng Xiaoping presided over a symposium on science and education work in Beijing, and invited more than 30 famous scientists and educators to participate. The meeting focused on college enrollment. The Ministry of Education believed that time was urgent and there was no time to change, so it decided to maintain the "recommended school" method to enroll. With the support of Deng Xiaoping, the participants raised objections and pointed out the drawbacks of the method of "recommended school" and advocated the resumption of the college entrance examination immediately.
Deng Xiaoping and the students
"It is imperative to resume the college entrance examination, there is no time to do it! Even if the enrollment is postponed, we will resume the college entrance examination this year!" Deng Xiaoping's decisive speech won the support of the participants. Finally, at Deng Xiaoping's request, the Ministry of Education issued an announcement: Resuming the college entrance examination.
In the winter of 1977, countless students studied at night and fought for the college entrance examination. Although the conditions were difficult, many people still tried their best to take the college entrance examination. In the end, 5.7 million people took the college entrance examination. The restoration of the college entrance examination system not only allowed countless young people to find the meaning of their lives again, but for China at that time, it also promoted the cultivation of Chinese talents back onto the track of healthy development.
Deng Xiaoping met with Chen Jingrun
In March 1978, the convening of National Science Conference symbolized the arrival of spring for millions of scientific and technological workers in China. Deng Xiaoping, elected as chairman of the Fifth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, made a series of decisions conducive to the development of science and technology, which prompted the domestic scientific development to a higher level.
In April 1979, Deng Xiaoping expressed his thoughts on his mind at the Central Work Conference: Establish a special economic zone.
Deng Xiaoping
In 1978, the people of Bao'an County, Guangdong, which is only one river from Hong Kong, have the idea of going far away to Hong Kong to develop due to the differences between the two places.
This is not only a collision between two cultures, but also a conflict between the two economic systems. It is this phenomenon that made Deng Xiaoping realize that economic reform is urgent.
Deng Xiaoping wrote the inscription for Shenzhen Special Economic Zone
So after the Central Conference in 1979, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Xiamen and Shantou took the lead in the trial of the special economic zones. By 1984, 14 ports including Dalian and Qinhuangdao were further opened. By 1985, four regions were opened, including the Yangtze River , the Pearl River Delta, the Hainan Special Economic Zone and the Shanghai Pudong New Area, successfully promoting the rapid development of China's economy and improving the living conditions of the people.
All this cannot be separated from Deng Xiaoping's layout and guidance. When everyone was confused by the two economic systems, Deng Xiaoping said: "No matter whether it is black or white, as long as you can catch mice, it is a good cat." has formulated the direction for the development of market economy .
Just as described in the song "Stories in Spring", Deng Xiaoping drew Shenzhen by the South China Sea, using it as a breakthrough point and taking China's economy to take off.
The last wish before his death
Deng Xiaoping, who had worked hard for most of his life, took the lead in filing a retirement application in 1989 and resigned from his position as Chairman of the Central Military Commission. He lived a peaceful retirement life with his wife Zhuo Lin. After retirement, Deng Xiaoping lived a stable and leisurely life, and had plenty of time to read books and newspapers or go for a walk every day. But this kind of life didn't last long.
Deng Xiaoping and Zhuo Lin
December 1996, perhaps because he suffered too much when he was young, or perhaps because Deng Xiaoping, who has always been healthy, felt uncomfortable for several consecutive days. After being examined by accompanying medical staff, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's syndrome.
Then, Deng Xiaoping was sent to 301 Hospital for treatment.
Looking at Deng Xiaoping who could not hide his illness on the hospital bed, his wife Zhuo Lin felt heartbroken, but she was afraid of affecting Deng Xiaoping's emotions, so she could only force her to smile and say to Deng Xiaoping: "Do you watch the portrait on TV like you? This is a TV series about you filmed by CCTV . The actors in it are still like you."
Deng Xiaoping watched "self" in the TV series, smiled, and fell into a deep sleep again. Deng Xiaoping has been receiving treatment in the days after
. According to Huang Lin, the nurse accompanying him, Deng Xiaoping's later treatment was very painful. He had difficulty speaking and swallowing, and he could only rely on liquid food to replenish the energy needed by the body. Despite this, Deng Xiaoping still acted very tough when receiving treatment that ordinary people could not bear.
Deng Xiaoping spent the New Year's Eve in 1997 in the ward. The thin Deng Xiaoping lay on the hospital bed, holding Zhuo Lin's hand and said: "I am very satisfied to see China becoming increasingly powerful. While I am still alive, I want to tell you some things." Zhuo Lin held Deng Xiaoping's hand tightly. She already knew what Deng Xiaoping was going to say next. She held back her tears and nodded and said, "Tell me, I'll listen. "
Deng Xiaoping and Zhuo Lin
"Don't be sad, I am already satisfied to see the country get better while alive. After I die, don’t set up a mourning hall or bury it. You know, I don’t believe that. " Deng Xiaoping said slowly, "If there are still parts of my body that can be used, I will donate it for me. If they need to dissect my body, I agree. Finally, my greatest wish is to sprinkle my ashes into the sea. " When Zhuo Lin heard these words, she couldn't help crying anymore.
Twelve days later, Deng Xiaoping, whose condition suddenly worsened, passed away after the rescue failed. After Deng Xiaoping's death, Zhuo Lin forwarded Deng Xiaoping's request to the central government.
On February 24, 1997, a hearse carried Deng Xiaoping's Lingshu to the airport. The road was full of people coming to see him off. Among them were young college students, 82-year-old men, and some traveled thousands of miles to Beijing from counties and districts hundreds of kilometers away to see him off. Everyone couldn't hide their grief and cried in tears to see him off.
Deng Xiaoping's cemetery is in the sea, and his funeral is held high in the sky. At a height of 20,000 miles, an airplane carries Deng Xiaoping's ashes. With the company of family, friends and the party, Zhuo Lin slapped his ashes to the sea one by one. Under the escort of the sea breeze, he arrived at the sea surface and dissolved in the vast ocean.
To this day, Deng Xiaoping's learning experience, characteristics and views on learning are still inspiring and inspiring our future. He is a reformer who is brave to make breakthroughs and a steadily moving forward politician. He has left us a rich and solid political legacy.
