Mao Zedong's name is Runzhi. December 26, 1893 was his birthday. He was born in a peasant family in Shaoshanchong, Xiangtan County, Hunan Province. My father, Mao Shunsheng, was smart and capable, and he did some business of buying grain and rice. His mother, Wen Qimei, was meticulous and thoughtful, and was kind and compassionate.
In the autumn of 1910, 17-year-old Mao Zedong began to leave Shaoshan Chong , determined to study and start exploring the truth of saving the country and the people, embarking on the revolutionary journey, and it was too late to start. His life was serving the people . He was not only the Chinese people but also the people of the world. He had the motherland in mind and looked at the world, set an example everywhere, and planned for others first and rarely planned for himself. His principle of not having a birthday for himself is a classic. Below we can list a few examples of people rejecting him for his birthday.
Mao Zedong once celebrated many people's birthdays throughout his life, such as Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party Leader Stalin The 70th birthday of Mao Zedong carefully selected a car of Shandong's green onions and a car of Jiangxi's honey oranges . Mao Zedong visited the Soviet Union to celebrate Stalin's birthday. At the same time, more importantly, he wanted to negotiate with Stalin on major political and economic issues between China and the Soviet Union and resolve issues such as Sino-Soviet treaties, loan agreements, trade agreements, aviation agreements, etc. In other words, it is not just about celebrating Stalin's birthday, but about running for the interests of the Chinese people. As early as the eve of the founding of New China, at the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee held in Xibaipo , in order to maintain the advanced nature and purity of the Party, he proposed to all comrades in the Party that "we must-have " should be maintained, and proposed to set six rules to ensure the normal democratic life within the Party: 1. Do not celebrate a birthday; 2. Do not give gifts; 3. Do not toast less; 4. Puff your hands less; 5. Do not use names as names for people; 6. Do not place Chinese comrades with Marx, Entrepreneurs.
After the founding of New China, in view of his great contribution to the Chinese people, many people praised Chairman Mao Zedong for his birthday, but he explained: It is impossible to live long after a long life, and the impact is bad, and I must take the lead in abide by it.
Life is the same. Born in the world and eating fireworks on earth, Mao Zedong also wanted to feel the happiness of ordinary people in his later years, and began to pay attention to his birthday, but never accepted any banquets from anyone. Sometimes on his birthday, he invites some friends to gather and have a heart-to-heart talk. Nothing is done: blessings are as long as the flowing water in the East China Sea, and longevity is better than the vulgar behaviors such as the pine trees in the South Mountain. There are only a few simple side dishes and some red and white wine on the table. If you drink the appropriate amount of wine, you will be drunk. It is said that it is a birthday celebration, which is really a gathering of old friends. His birthday has his own characteristics and is unique and has a difficult and simple color.
In his forties, he still insists on the principle of not doing a birthday.
my country's folk cultural customs, 50 is not confused, 60 is the sixty, and 66th birthday is the custom of 66th birthday. Because of the hard living conditions in the past, some people live in seventy years and have been rare in ancient times. On these birthdays, children and grandchildren gather together to celebrate their birthdays and have auspiciousness. Therefore, when Mao Zedong's 50th birthday was about to celebrate the Chairman's good news. The first thing he proposed was Comrade Kaifeng , who was the propaganda work of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China at that time, and reported this plan. Comrade Ren Bishi also instructed Comrade Xiao San to write a biography of Mao Zedong to add icing on the cake to the Chairman's birthday and add a strong atmosphere on his birthday. Comrade Hu Qiaomu, Mao Zedong's secretary, also strongly agreed with this matter and encouraged Xiao San to work hard to write this book to record the glorious revolutionary journey and immortal achievements of the great man Mao Zedong, which is of practical significance and long-term significance.
Mao Zedong read Kaifeng's letter and learned that many comrades were preparing for a grand birthday for him, and he chose to refuse without hesitation. He said: At this time, the country is in dire straits, the people are in dire straits, and the nation is in danger, it is wrong for us to carry out this activity, the impact is extremely bad, and it damages the image of our Communists. We must remember the lessons of history, "Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn the boat."
As the supreme leader of the CPC Central Committee, Mao Zedong had foresight and had a strong vision. He saw that the long-term future is the long-term stability of the country, and that he was to create a hard and simple entrepreneurship and establish a clean and upright democratic life style within the party.He was strict with himself and lenient with others. He once held birthday celebrations for many comrades in the party and wrote birthday poems, such as Wu Yuzhang, Zhu De, Xu Teli, etc.
His congratulations to Wu Yuzhang's 60th birthday are: "It is not difficult for a person to do good things. What is difficult is to do good things for the rest of his life, not bad things, it will always benefit the general public, always benefit the youth, always benefit the revolution, and work hard for decades, this is the most difficult and difficult! Our Comrade Wu Yuzhang is such a person who has been doing for decades!
His congratulations to Xu Teli's 60th birthday longer, fully expressing his respect for his teachers. The excerpt is as follows:
Comrade Xu:
You are my husband twenty years ago, you are still my husband now, and you will definitely be my husband in the future,
Write this letter on your sixtieth birthday to congratulate you on your sixtieth birthday. Congratulations, may you be healthy, may you live long, and may you become a model for all revolutionaries and all people. Sincerely
Salute of the Revolution!
Mao Zedong.
January 30, 1937 in Yan'an
His inscription on Commander-in-Chief Zhu's birthday was: "Comrade Zhu De's glory for the people's sixty birthday."
The congratulations of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to Commander-in-Chief Zhu said:
People celebrate your sixty years of life, because you are a living proof of the great victory of the Chinese people's cause. All kinds of enemies have cruelly persecuted you. But they were all defeated, destroyed, failed, died, and could never be resurrected, but you and the people's team lived very healthy and happy He led the final struggle and welcomed the final victory...
He never made special contributions. He celebrated his birthday together. He always stayed with the masses and was willing to live together and live together with happiness.
During the Yan'an period, 56 old comrades over 50 years old held a collective birthday celebration. Those who were celebrated from the birthdays, from the chefs, grooms, heroic representatives of workers, peasants, businessmen, and soldiers to Mao Zedong, Commander-in-Chief Zhu, and 56 old comrades gathered together to receive everyone's blessings. The birthday lamps, longevity banners, longevity couplets, and longevity poems hang on the four walls, the lights are brilliant and the glory is shining, and everyone sings and dances very lively.
Mao Zedong's sixty-year-old birthday is also very simple. Mao Zedong, who was in his sixties, was in his When the birthday came, I received many congratulatory messages, congratulatory messages from brotherly parties, brother countries, foreign heads, admirers, people's organizations, well-known people, Mao Zedong's decisions were not allowed to be publicly viewed in the newspaper. Then I said to the staff around me: Today, the entire , four dishes, one soup, , please have a meal together, and I especially reminded the masters and secretaries who wanted to cook the boiler.
This is the model that the great man Mao Zedong set up for us to not respect vanity and not waste, always maintain a hard and simple life.
This is the spiritual and cultural heritage left to us by the great man Mao Zedong.
This is the steering wheel left by the great man Mao Zedong to us on the road of life.
