In September 1954, Liu Shaoqi's secretary shouted three times in front of the office door, but Liu Shaoqi still did not respond. Just when the secretary was puzzled, Liu Shaoqi stood up and said to him: Remember, don’t just call me by your position no matter when. Because within our party, only three people can be called directly by their positions.
so who are the three people Liu Shaoqi mentioned?
Great leader Chairman Mao
This first person is of course the great Chairman Mao, the person who once turned the world of China.
The title of Chairman Mao has come from many changes. In the 1930s, from the founding of the Chinese Soviet Union to the convening of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, Chairman Mao's title had changed from comrade to member, and then from member to chairman.
November 1943 Labor Heroes Conference, hundreds of labor hero representatives from Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia regions shouted loudly in the form of lyrics with the simplest language and the most sincere respect: "Long live the Communist Party of China, long live Chairman Mao." Since then, "Great Leader Chairman Mao" has become an unchanging title and slogan in the hearts of thousands of Chinese people.
After the founding of New China, the slogan "Long live Chairman Mao" even spread abroad. At that time, there were also loud voices from foreigners shouting "Long live Chairman Mao" in congratulatory messages sent by the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and other countries. Chairman Mao couldn't help but smile after hearing this and joked in humorous language that it was impossible to live, and the people wanted me to "grow up" a little longer.
General Manager Premier Zhou
The second person who can directly call the position is the amiable Premier Zhou Enlai. At the beginning of the founding of New China, Premier Zhou made great contributions to big and small matters that are in trouble.
In people's hearts, Premier Zhou is a humble and friendly "master's housekeeper". Because whether it is within the party or the people's affairs, Premier Zhou is concerned about it. He is like the general manager of a big family.
Premier Zhou’s character and responsibility are also highly recognized by people at home and abroad. There was once an American journalist named Snow who once commented on Premier Zhou like this: "Prime Minister Zhou's experience and achievements have proved that he is the person in charge of everything."
The father of the Red Army Commander-in-Chief Zhu
Can directly call the third person in the position be the Commander-in-Chief of the People's Liberation Army of China and Commander-in-Chief Zhu De.
Even in 1954, the position of Commander-in-Chief had been driven out of the historical stage by the newly established Ministry of National Defense, but whenever people recall the years of war, they still think of the kind Commander-in-Chief Zhu, because he was not only the "father of the Red Army", but also the spiritual pillar of the soldiers during the War of Resistance and Liberation.
The Long March of the Red Army, known as a military miracle, was made by Zhu De as the commander-in-chief. The soldiers of Jinggangshan affectionately called Zhu De the father of the Red Army. At first, Zhu De was only the commander of the Ninth Army during the Nanchang Uprising. However, as Zhu De's military achievements grew, in the 1930s, Zhu De became the commander-in-chief of our army.
Whether during the Anti-Japanese War or during the Liberation period, Zhu De was the commander-in-chief of the military war. With Commander-in-Chief Zhu, his morale was strong, and Zhu De's military command and creation were legendary.
Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and Zhu De are leaders who can directly compete with their duties. Although Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou, and Commander-in-Chief Zhu have gone far away from us, the achievements and contributions they have made to the New China will remain in history and will always be engraved in the hearts of the people.
