On the evening of August 10, 1966, Chairman Mao was walking in Zhongnanhai as usual. At that time, there were only two people walking by him, one was Chairman Mao’s head nurse Wu Xujun, and the other was Director Wang, who was in charge of the guards around Chairman Mao.
They accompanied Chairman Mao to come out of Fengze Garden, then walked south along the road by Zhongnanhai, and after reaching Baoguang Gate, they walked westward. When they arrived at the gate of Huairen Hall, they suddenly heard the crowds of people on Fuyou Street outside the west gate of Zhongnanhai, shouting loudly, which was very lively.
Chairman Mao suddenly had an idea. He didn't want to take a walk in Zhongnanhai like this, so he walked out from Ximen. The two accompanying people did not stop them, and the guards at the door did not receive the order, so they dared not stop them. Chairman Mao suddenly left Zhongnanhai. They all know that outside the gate is a people that the elderly have always been willing to approach.
When Chairman Mao went out, he happened to meet with a group of people who were parading to announce the good news. When he saw the turbulent crowd, he was very happy and confused at the time.
The lively crowd instantly became silent. More than ten seconds later, a loud and intense shouting erupted from Fuyou Street. The sound it caused swept across the entire Zhongnanhai, and responded from all directions, and there were voices shouting "Chairman Mao" everywhere, and it did not stop for a long time.
Usually people don’t have the chance to see Chairman Mao, so how can they meet just by wanting to? Now this unexpected encounter does not make the people overjoyed and extremely excited. People cheered around Chairman Mao, and some brave ones stepped forward to say hello and shake hands with Chairman Mao, and their cheeks were red with excitement.
Chairman Mao is of course very happy to get close to everyone, and he smiles and holds hands that come over. When everyone saw that Chairman Mao did not refuse, they reached out more hands. Those who held their hands were unwilling to let go and wanted to hold them for a while, the people next to them became even more anxious. The excited cheers went in waves, and they all rushed towards the center!
The people were happy, but the guards of Central Guard Bureau were dumbfounded. The captain of the guard in charge of Chairman Mao’s safety at that time was Chen Changjiang. After receiving the notice from the Ximen Guard, he felt anxious and uneasy.
Chen Changjiang did not expect Chairman Mao to go out, because no matter how lively it was outside, Zhongnanhai maintained a serious and orderly working atmosphere. If Chairman Mao had any activities, he would greet the guards in advance.
After dinner today, the guards did not hear any arrangements from the Chairman. Chen Changjiang thought there was nothing to do at night, so he went back to work in the team.
Fuyou Street outside the west gate of Zhongnanhai is an important passage through the north and south of Beijing. It is usually bustling and there are all kinds of people on the street. Although most of the people who support Chairman Mao, of course there are bad elements. Chairman Mao stays outside for one more minute, and the extra minute of danger is one more minute. What made Chen Changjiang even more afraid was that the guard said that Chairman Mao was surrounded by enthusiastic crowds on Fuyou Street, and it was too late to come back.
Chen Changjiang immediately gathered the cadres and guards of the squadron. Dozens of well-trained guards followed Chen Changjiang and ran quickly outside the west gate of Zhongnanhai.
As soon as Chen Changjiang and the others left the west gate, they were stunned by the scene in front of them. I saw countless people gathered in front of the news station, and it was not exaggerating to say that there were tens of thousands of people, so Chairman Mao was surrounded by the innermost part. The people behind
couldn't see Chairman Mao and squeezed in. People in the distance kept running and shouting here, just like surging waves that could not be stopped. The scene became more and more chaotic. If a stampede occurred, it would be too late to regret it.
The news station was a collection of good news stations in order to satisfy the people's love for the Party and Chairman Mao, and to guide the people's enthusiasm in an orderly manner, so that the news stations and congratulations written by the people to Chairman Mao were temporarily built on the side outside the west gate of Zhongnanhai.
From then on, cheering crowds and teams of good news gathered on Fuyou Street. During those days, the cheers of the masses were heard, from morning to night, and everything stopped. Chairman Mao has always wanted to be with the masses, so it should be expected to go out after a sudden whim.
Faced with such an unexpected ending, Chen Changjiang and his team’s primary task was to come to Chairman Mao, and then seek the trick of getting out, and finally safely take Chairman Mao back to Zhongnanhai.
Chen Changjiang waved his hand and led the guards to find a weak place where the crowd was weak. He went forward to separate the crowd for the arrow. The guards followed one by one, lined up in a herringbone and rushed into the crowd, constantly shouting to ask the crowd to make way out, and finally came to Chairman Mao.
At this time, Chairman Mao was only Director Wang and Head Nurse Wu, and the others were all strangers. Seeing Chairman Mao being surrounded there, Chen Changjiang and the guards were anxious, but Chairman Mao was very excited and shook hands with the masses one by one calmly, and had a cordial conversation with the strange faces that came over.
The guards could see countless heads and hands in front of them. Under the cover of so many enthusiastic hands, they could hardly see a complete face, even though they were filled with happy smiles.
Chen Changjiang reported to him while guarding Chairman Mao, wanting to pull Chairman Mao back as soon as possible, but Chairman Mao was unwilling to do so and even talked with the people who were coming or shook hands with them.
Seeing that the scene was so crowded that it was impossible, it was even difficult to stand, so Chen Changjiang had to invite Chairman Mao to the temporary announcement station. In this way, Chairman Mao stood up and saw far, and there were more people who could see Chairman Mao outside.
For the masses, this is like a story in a fairy tale. Chairman Mao fell from the sky and suddenly appeared in front of everyone. The cheers of the masses became louder and louder. Chairman Mao also stood in front of the cheering masses, waving to them with a smile. The
platform was boiling on and off the stage, and cheers, slogans and applause were connected into a resounding throughout the world, and the masses had reached the extreme passionate venting. Chairman Mao walked to the microphone and swept across the audience with kind eyes. The excited crowd once again showed a brief calm.
"Hello comrades, hello comrades..." Chairman Mao's high and powerful Hunan accent echoed over the crowd, burning in the hearts of every crowd. This atmosphere reached a climax, and the voice of saluting "Chairman Mao" resounded throughout the sky.
Chen Changjiang was moved and helpless to see all this. In his 27 years of security work experience, no matter where Chairman Mao went, he would be extremely attractive to the masses, wherever he would be cheering and excited orgasm, and wherever he would be crowded.
sometimes has terrible crowding like today, which often brings irresponsible difficulties to the security guard work. Of course, this is not the first time.
Once, Chairman Mao was in Changsha for investigation and went to Xiangjiang River to swim after the business was over. When he was tired of swimming, he went to the small island in the heart of the river - Orange Island . The guards put a bathrobe on Chairman Mao, and Chairman Mao was walking barefoot at the Orange Island trunk, walking from one end to the other.
Because there is no such arrangement in the plan, it is completely arbitrary action, so it is not possible to separate the people on the island. When Chairman Mao returned to the river to swim again, he was discovered by the people. More and more people received the news, and people were everywhere on the dock.
Chairman Mao waved to the masses and greeted him. The masses cheered and applauded Chairman Mao. The more people accumulated, there were tens of thousands of people. This time, the guards were exhausted. Everyone tried their best to clear a path from the crowd and let Chairman Mao get in the car.
Another time, Chairman Mao visited Wuhan, and during which he arranged a tour of the Yangtze River . Although Wuhan made careful arrangements this time and was arranged to avoid public attention when going ashore, Chairman Mao was still recognized while swimming in the river.
Tens of thousands of people followed Chairman Mao's journey and Chairman Mao was swimming in the water. The people shouted excitedly on the shore and followed Chairman Mao forward.By the time Chairman Mao arrived at the shore, the car prepared in advance had long been squeezed to where it was squeezed, and even the place where it landed was crowded with people.
experience told the guards that they could not land here at all. In the end, the guard suggested that Chairman Mao continue to swim forward. Chairman Mao happily agreed and waved to the masses on the shore while swimming, which caused cheers from the shore. In the end, Wuhan took a lot of effort to take Chairman Mao back to the Donghu Hotel at an unknown dock.
both times took a lot of effort to get out. Now that such a crowded scene appears in front of my station, it is really not necessary. No matter how nervous the guards were, Chairman Mao enjoyed it and talked to the masses.
At this moment, the respondents from the Central Guard Bureau also came to the newsstand. Chen Changjiang directed the guards to open a narrow passage in the crowd and escorted Chairman Mao back to Zhongnanhai.
is truly safe, and Chen Changjiang's hanging heart has a place. The guards who were guarding Chairman Mao were sweating profusely and were soaked in clothes, as if they had just been fished out of the water.
Chairman Mao looked at their appearance and said with a smile: "If you hadn't come to rescue me, it would have been not easy for me to come back..."
Chairman Mao said these words to the guards with the usual wit and humor, and also wanted to comfort and make the guards happy.
But this time Chen Changjiang was really scared and couldn't laugh at all. He said to Chairman Mao: "We didn't have any preparations, so you went out. It's too dangerous to do this."
Chairman Mao said apologetically: "I originally wanted to go out and take a look, but I was surrounded as soon as I went out. I didn't like what I wanted to see, and I couldn't come back even if I wanted to..."
In the past, Chairman Mao always thought that the guard's work was too meticulous, which prevented him from getting closer to the masses. He got angry many times and sometimes was very critical.
This time Chen Changjiang took Chairman Mao back from the masses to Zhongnanhai. Will Chairman Mao blame them? Chen Changjiang was still a little worried.
But this time Chairman Mao did not criticize them, and also affirmed and praised their actions, which was indeed beyond Chen Changjiang's expectations.
At this time, the people who had just learned that Chairman Mao had walked out of Zhongnanhai were still rushing towards Fuyou Street, blocking the entire Fuyou Street tightly, and there were crowds of people moving forward everywhere. Even if they stood there, there was a danger of being squeezed and trampled.
Chen Changjiang was a little scared about Chairman Mao's sudden exit this time. He said: "There was no preparation in advance and no timely reported it afterwards. Once there is danger, it is difficult to maintain order. How can we ensure safety? Faced with such sudden incidents as Chairman Mao was surrounded, it is most likely to cause crowding and injury. No matter who is injured, we are blamed."
Not allowing harm to the masses is an important principle and discipline in the security work, and it cannot be done even if it is not intentionally caused. When the accident ended, the schoolbags, shoes and clothes left at the scene could hold more than a dozen baskets, and some people were injured and sent to the hospital, which shows the serious crowding at that time.
Fortunately, Chairman Mao went back, otherwise he really wouldn't know what unpredictable consequences would happen.
Later, when Chairman Mao talked about this experience with the staff around him, he was full of envy for the staff. He said with emotion: "You are better than me, you can go wherever you want, but I can't..."
Another time, Chairman Mao talked about this to the head nurse Wu Xujun, and he said: "...I can't go anywhere now, and I can't see the masses, it's so bitter!"
Chairman Mao remembered that he was in Yan'an and Xibaipo . At that time, he and the masses were often together. He went to see whoever they wanted, chatted with, and went out to grow vegetables with farmers. How free it was.
In peaceful times, Chairman Mao, as the leader, could no longer walk around at will, because that would affect the lives of the people.
Of course, no matter how envy is, Chairman Mao has won the support and respect of the people of the whole country. His every move is full of attention. It is impossible to live like an ordinary person. There are gains and losses.
Chairman Mao’s life is brilliant and ups and downs. We obviously cannot use the standards of others to demand Chairman Mao, but he is an amazing great man, and the Chinese people remember him all the time.
Deng Xiaoping once commented on Chairman Mao: "If Comrade Mao Zedong's outstanding leadership, there would be a great possibility that the Chinese revolution would not have been victorious yet, and then... our party will still struggle in the dark. So, without Mao Zedong there would be no New China, which is not an exaggeration at all."
As ordinary people, we will never stand at some level to evaluate Chairman Mao, but I think Deng's evaluation is the most fair. What do you think?
