Ren Bishi started participating in the revolution at the age of 16, became a member of the Communist Party of China at the age of 18, and entered the central leadership at the age of 23. He has been working hard for the party and the revolution.
For him, his greatest wish is to see the victory of the revolution, which is also his goal. For this, he can give everything.
After the Liaoshen, Huaihai, Pingjin battles, the Kuomintang troops and Chiang Kai-shek suffered heavy losses. Our army recovered most of the country and is about to establish a new political power.
Soon, the list of people attending the Founding Ceremony came out, and Ren Bishi's name was not on it. Moreover, Chairman Mao personally ordered that he was "not allowed" to participate.
Ren Bishi
As a revolutionary and one of the five secretaries, regardless of his status or qualifications, Ren Bishi is qualified to stand on the Tiananmen Gate Tower and witness the birth of New China with his own eyes, and share this joy with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians on Tiananmen Square.
Why didn't Chairman Mao let him attend the ceremony? The truth behind it is tear-jerking.
Absent from the Founding Ceremony of the People's Republic of China
At the end of January 1949, the famous Three Great Battles of China came to an end. Our army annihilated more than 1.5 million enemies and advanced to the north bank of the Yangtze River. The Kuomintang's vitality has been severely weakened, its main force is basically gone, and it can no longer afford to make any troubles. Its rule is about to collapse.
Hundreds of thousands of Communists have struggled for many years and are about to see the dawn of victory. The enemy's power has been greatly weakened, and it is time to prepare for the establishment of a new regime.
In June of the same year, our party held a preparatory meeting for the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. At the meeting, everyone unanimously agreed to hold the founding ceremony in Tiananmen Square on October 1.
As soon as the news came out, the whole country was shocked, because the Chinese people have been waiting for this day for a long time, and people all over the country are looking forward to this day coming soon.
On October 1, Tiananmen Square was crowded and lively, with 300,000 soldiers and civilians gathered here. People who came from all over the country could not hide the joy on their faces. Everyone was talking and laughing, and were excited to witness this great moment.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Secretary-General of the Central People's Government Committee Lin Boqu announced that the ceremony had officially begun. Central leaders headed by Chairman Mao, representatives from all walks of life, and representatives of non-partisanship appeared on the Tiananmen Gate Tower.
Their appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention, and they were welcomed with thunderous applause and cheers.
Immediately afterwards, Chairman Mao solemnly declared in a voice with a Hunan accent: "The Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China was established today!"
After saying that, he pressed the button, and the bright five-star red flag rose slowly along with the "March of the Volunteers " and the solemn attention of everyone present. 54 cannons were fired in salute to celebrate the birth of New China.
Chairman Mao's sonorous voice, the applause and cheers of the masses, and the salute that resounded in the sky spread all over the country through the radio, and also reached the ears of Ren Bishi.
At this moment, he had mixed feelings in his heart. On the one hand, his long-cherished wish finally came true, and he was extremely happy and excited. On the other hand, he felt extremely sorry that he could not witness all this with his own eyes.
Two weeks before the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, Chairman Mao personally ordered: Comrade Ren Bishi was not allowed to attend the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China. When
learned the news, he was shocked. But he knew the reason why Chairman Mao did this, understood Chairman Mao, and accepted the arrangement.
Yes, Ren Bishi did not appear at the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China. He could only listen to the radio silently in a house in Yuquan Mountain , 20 kilometers away from Tiananmen Square. Of course, his joy outweighed his regrets, and a smile appeared on his face.
Ren Bishi
Compared with the famous Central Secretaries such as Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou, Liu Shaoqi, and Mr. Zhu, Ren Bishi, who is also one of the five secretaries, seems a bit "lonely", and some people even don't know him well.
Little did they know that he had worked conscientiously for the party and the people for more than 30 years. He was an outstanding leader of the party and the People's Liberation Army, and had experienced many tests. On the road, there is no rest, no enjoyment, and no personal care. He is an outstanding communist, the best member of our party, and our model. "
Ye Jianying
In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched a counter-revolutionary coup and madly arrested and massacred revolutionaries. Our party was in a very difficult situation.
At the "87th Conference ", Ren Bishi, who was only 23 years old, was elected to the Politburo and began to work in the leadership, becoming the youngest Politburo member in the history of our party.
is able to gain everyone's support at such a young age, and taking on such an important responsibility is a testament to his ability. After that, he put the party and the organization first and contributed his own strength to the victory of the revolution.
He was responsible for many things, ranging from decision-making and research, discussing with Chairman Mao and others the situation facing our party and the country, to personnel arrangements, what to eat, where to live, organizing material supply and so on.
He is extremely busy every day and is the busiest person among the central leadership. It is common for him to work more than ten hours. He handled things very thoughtfully, so everyone gave him a nickname - "the old mother in the party" .
Ren Bishi
During the Long March, Ren Bishi was the person in charge of the Red Second Front Army. He was as busy as a top. He was only in his early 30s at this time, but people who didn't know better would think he was in his 50s. Long-term and tireless work made him age very quickly.
He didn't care about this at all. Instead, he worried that he wouldn't live long enough to do more things, so he had to seize every minute and every second to work as long as he could. Everyone thought he was joking, but they didn't expect that he was right.
As a senior leader of our party, Ren Bishi is in a very dangerous situation and is at risk of being arrested by the Kuomintang at any time. He is a revolutionary with firm beliefs and will never give in to his enemies.
Ren Bishi
In September 1928, Ren Bishi came to Wuhu, Anhui. Previously, Yin Kuan, secretary of the Provisional Committee of the Anhui Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, promoted "Left" leanings, which resulted in heavy losses for the local revolutionary forces, and a large number of party members were arrested or sacrificed. In order to solve the internal problems in Anhui, the organization sent him to inspect the local area as a special commissioner.
He did not rest after arriving in Wuhu . He immediately held a meeting of key members, severely criticized Yin Kuan's ideas, and at the same time conveyed the party's instructions.
html On the 15th, he, Xu Houchang and others went to the Xiangyou Temple in the northwest of the city to attend a meeting. What they don't know is that a conspiracy is brewing.Traitors appeared in the local regiment and leaked their whereabouts to the enemy. Ren Bishi and Xu Houchang were arrested by the Kuomintang.
However, the agents only found some banknotes from him and nothing else, so they could not figure out his true identity.
Ren Bishi
Ren Bishi is very smart and knows that the enemy does not have key evidence and does not know who he is. So, he made up a false identity.
Faced with the interrogation by the agents, he said that his name was Hu Shaofu, that he was from Hunan, and that he went to Xiangyou Temple for fun. He asked the other party what law he had committed and wanted to arrest him.
When the enemy saw that Ren Bi refused to tell the truth, he became angry and "entertained" him with tiger bench and other torture methods, making him kneel on iron chains with a kiln block on his head. He suffered a lot of torture, but even so, he did not reveal his identity and told the party's secrets, saying: "Even if you kill me, I have nothing to explain!"
Ren Bishi refused to take hard and soft measures, which caused a great headache for the agents, so they had to take him to Anqing. On the way, he was watched by many people. Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure in the crowd, that person was his compatriot.
In order to prevent his identity from being exposed, he signaled his fellow villagers not to come over with his eyes, and cleverly tried to find a way to pass on his arrest to the other party, asking him to go to Shanghai to find his wife Chen Congying.
After the fellow man understood his intention, he immediately tried to go to Shanghai to deliver the news. Knowing that her husband was in the hands of the enemy, Chen Congying reported the matter to the organization.
Ren Bishi
As arranged by the organization, the spies found no flaws when they went to Shanghai to verify the identity of "Hu Shaofu", and Ren Bishi was never exposed. In prison, he was not idle, organizing inmates to carry out struggles to "improve prison life" and "anti-abuse". At the same time, the organization is also looking for ways to rescue him.
In February 1929, the Kuomintang had no evidence to prove that Ren Bishi was a member of the Communist Party and had to let him go. Later, he returned to his post and continued to fight against the enemy.
At the end of the same year, he was arrested again in Shanghai. While the enemy was not paying attention, he swallowed all the documents on his body without giving the enemy a chance.
The ferocious enemy worked in vain again and still tortured him. They used electrocution to burn two fist-sized holes on his back.
Ren Bishi did not bow his head. After being rescued by Premier Zhou and others, he saved his life.
Firmly supports Chairman Mao
Externally, Ren Bishi's revolutionary belief has not wavered. This is also true internally, and he firmly supports Chairman Mao's leadership.

Zhang Guotao, who was born into a wealthy family, has always looked down upon the poor Chairman Mao. He was very ambitious, but not as capable as Chairman Mao. Seeing Chairman Mao's status in the party and the military rising day by day, he was very jealous and dissatisfied.
Especially in June 1935, the Fourth Red Army led by him and the First Red Army led by Chairman Mao met at Maogong. After discovering that the Red Army suffered heavy casualties and was inferior to his own team in terms of numbers and weapons and equipment, he could no longer hold back his ambitions.
Zhang Guotao opposed the central government's decision and the proposals of Chairman Mao and others, and refused to lead the team northward to establish the Sichuan-Shaanxi-Gansu Soviet Area Base Area. In October, he openly led his troops south to Sichuan and Kang, and also announced the establishment of the so-called "central government" at Zhuomu Diao. Obviously, he wanted to "establish himself as king."
Zhang Guotao
In fact, Zhang Guotao approached Ren Bishi before going south. He took a fancy to his prestige within the party and the Red Sixth Army in his hands, and tried to win over him, but was rejected. Ren Bishi resolutely safeguarded the unity of the party, firmly supported Chairman Mao, did not collude with Zhang Guotao, and refused to hold various meetings with him.
Ren Bishi and Chairman Mao met in 1920, when he joined the Russian Research Society organized by Chairman Mao and He Shuheng, and the two began to intersect. They influence each other and support each other. They are comrades-in-arms and confidants. In the face of some people or forces who wanted to split the party, he repeatedly expressed his position: "Mao Zedong is the leader of the Communist Party of China!"

In 1938, Ren Bishi also said this when he went to the Soviet Union to report on the anti-Japanese work to Stalin. In other words, in front of outsiders, he still supported Chairman Mao, laying the foundation for Chairman Mao to win the support of the Communist International . No matter when, his attitude never changed.
During the War of Liberation, he assisted Chairman Mao in commanding operations and carried out a series of tasks. He never complained or cared about personal gains and losses, and established deep friendships with Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou and other leaders.
The truth behind Chairman Mao’s order
Some people may ask, since Chairman Mao and Ren Bishi have a deep relationship, and he has made great contributions to the party and is a founding hero, why did Chairman Mao order not to allow him to participate in the founding ceremony of the country.
In fact, it was not that Chairman Mao did not allow him to participate, but that his body did not allow him to participate.
Chairman Mao
As mentioned earlier, Ren Bishi was arrested twice by the Kuomintang and suffered a lot of torture. Although he survived, the torture by his enemies took a toll on his body. After gaining his freedom in 1929, he often felt dizzy and his blood pressure was very high.
The situation was tense at that time. He did not listen to the persuasion of Chairman Mao and others and insisted on working while sick.
The Anti-Japanese War ended in 1945, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.At the end of the year, Chairman Mao asked Soviet doctor Mirnikov to examine the comrades in Yan'an.
The doctor told Chairman Mao that most of the comrades were in good health, but only Ren Bishi's health was worrying. His cerebral vascular sclerosis has reached the point where it affects his vision, and his condition is very serious.
Considering Ren Bishi's physical condition, the central government and Chairman Mao insisted that he recuperate. But a week later, he asked to resume work. The condition was not treated in time, which laid the foundation for disaster.
Ren Bishi
In the spring of 1948, he assisted Premier Zhou in his work even though his blood pressure was very high and his heart rhythm was seriously irregular. Together with Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou, he commanded three major battles in Xibaipo .
On May 8, 1949, Ren Bishi's condition worsened and he even fell into coma. He had to stop what he was doing and go to Yuquan Mountain to recuperate. But he still couldn't take any time off and was concerned about national affairs.
Long-term and high-intensity work, coupled with the root cause of the disease, caused his blood pressure to soar in September.
The doctor told Chairman Mao that the blood vessels in Ren Bishi's brain were severely deformed. He was on the verge of death and could not withstand any stimulation. The founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China is such an exciting moment, so it is not recommended for him to participate in order to prevent him from relapsing.
After listening to the doctor's words, Chairman Mao felt very uncomfortable. How much he hoped that Ren Bishi could witness the birth of New China with everyone, but reality did not allow it. He had to tearfully order Comrade Ren Bishi not to participate in the founding ceremony.
Ren Bishi understood Chairman Mao and knew that he was thinking about his own body. At the end of 1949, he went to the Soviet Union for treatment and returned to China in April of the following year.
This time, he still ignored the doctor's advice to take a good rest and started working soon after returning to China. On the evening of October 26, 1950, he was studying the situation on the Korean Peninsula and thinking about countermeasures by dim light. Unexpectedly, his condition suddenly worsened and he passed away at noon on the 27th. He was only 46 years old.
On October 28, Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou, Liu Shaoqi, and Zhu De came to a courtyard in , Jingshan East Street, with great sadness to say their final farewells to their friend Ren Bishi. They covered him with a party flag and watched his body being laid to rest.
After that, Comrade Ren Bishi was buried in Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery in Beijing.
He spent his whole life fighting hard for the party and the people. He did not care about rest, became ill from overwork, and died early.
It is precisely because of countless revolutionary ancestors like him that we have the happy life we have today. They should not be forgotten by history and the Chinese people! I would like to pay tribute to them with this article!
