We are very familiar with Chairman Mao . He led the broad masses of the people to establish a new China, so that people can live in a peaceful and stable environment, and their lives are constantly improving. His heroic figure will always be remembered by people.
However, the newly established China has a lot of waste to be developed . Construction in various places needs to be carried out quickly. Chairman Mao alone is naturally more than capable, and talented people will naturally be reused.
At that time, there were many comrades who had fought side by side with Chairman Mao since the revolutionary period, and each of them had made great achievements. After the founding of the People's Republic of my country, they also devoted themselves to the construction of our country without hesitation.
With the joint efforts of everyone, our country is developing rapidly at a speed that the world is amazed by. This is of course a sight that the people are very happy to see.
Chairman Mao
But heroes always have their twilight years, but the people behind them are also working hard for the same goal one after another. In his later years, Chairman Mao had ten people whom he trusted very much . Naturally, they were the first to contribute their own strength to the construction of the country and were loved by the general public.
Do you have any specific knowledge of Chairman Mao’s life? Who were the ten people whom Chairman Mao trusted most in his later years? What positions did they hold? Are there any interesting stories between Chairman Mao and these people?
The great man of the generation Mao Zedong
Mao Zedong, also named Runzhi, was born on December 26, 1893 in a peasant family . Although the Mao family It used to be a big family, but in the long inheritance, the Mao family gradually declined. By Mao Zedong's grandfather's generation, the family's life was already very embarrassing and there were debts. Mao Zedong's grandfather could only pawn some ancestral properties to others.
In order to pay off the debt, Mao Zedong's father Mao Yichang joined the Hunan Army. During this period, he accumulated some money, not only redeemed the pawned land, but also purchased some more land.
Mao Yichang has a lot of harvests every year. In addition, he not only farms the land, but also uses his money to do some rice and pig and cattle businesses. , the family can be considered to have a small amount of assets .
Mao Zedong also had the ability to receive education , but after Mao Yichang could read and write, he hoped that Mao Zedong could go home and inherit His business, but Mao Zedong insisted on continuing to study. Under the persuasion of everyone, Mao Zedong entered Xiangxiang Dongshan Primary School in 1914, which also laid the foundation for his subsequent revolutionary career.

Mao Zedong was exposed to advanced ideas during his studies and saw the hardship of people's lives under the political turmoil at that time, so he actively participated in revolutionary activities. In In 1918, he co-founded the organization Xinmin Society with Cai Hesen and others.
After the May Fourth Movement broke out, Mao Zedong led the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal patriotic student movement in Hunan. Since then, he has been running for the revolutionary cause and never stopped.
In July 1921, Mao Zedong, as one of the founders of the Communist Party of China, attended the first session of the Communist Party of China. In his published works, he also raised the issue of farmers and the importance of the proletariat to the revolution. He also criticized Chen Duxiu's right-leaning thoughts.
After the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party broke down, Mao Zedong put forward the idea of seizing power with revolutionary armed forces, and then led the Autumn Harvest Uprising. He led the insurrectionary troops to Jinggangshan and established the first rural revolutionary base..
Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base
After joining forces with the uprising troops led by Zhu De, the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, also known as the Red Army, was formally established. Since then, it has created a path for rural areas to surround cities and seize power with armed force.
However, there were naturally conflicts among all parties during the revolutionary period. After the "Left" leadership group represented by Wang Ming entered the central revolutionary base area, Mao Zedong was marginalized, and the fifth counter-encirclement and suppression campaign also ended in failure.
Then our party was forced to make a strategic shift, and Mao Zedong led the large forces to start the 25,000-mile Long March. When faced with difficulties and obstacles, no one gave up lightly, and finally successfully joined forces. The Communist Party of China also established a new central leadership represented by Mao Zedong.
The Long March
When the Japanese army occupied China, Chiang Kai-shek had always adhered to the principle of " we must first pacify the interior when fighting foreign forces" and had not resisted the Japanese army. This made many People who cherished their country were very dissatisfied. Zhang Xueliang also repeatedly persuaded Chiang Kai-shek to attack the Japanese army, but Chiang Kai-shek did not agree, so he and Yang Hucheng launched the Xi'an Incident and detained Chiang Kai-shek.
Afterwards, Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai handled the follow-up together, allowing the Xi'an Incident to be resolved peacefully. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party also cooperated for the second time, and the Anti-Japanese National United Front was formally formed.
During the Anti-Japanese War, our party has always adhered to the principle of independence, mainly carried out guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, and established many large revolutionary base areas.
At that time, more and more people were awakening to their national consciousness. They wanted to save the people from the fire and water, and also wanted to change the current situation of the country. Therefore, many people joined the army, and the revolutionary team was also growing..
The Anti-Japanese War
However, war is indispensable for material reserves, and our party needs to constantly change combat sites due to guerrilla warfare. Food reserves sometimes are far from enough .
Many people are willing to give their own food to our party comrades for free, but everyone knows that it was very difficult for ordinary people to store food at that time, so our party often returned the food sent by the people to them.
But some people would leave the grain directly at the door late at night, so that they would not know who delivered it, so our party also came up with a way, that is, "borrow grain".
After the common people lent grain to the Communist Party, they would get an IOU, which would record the amount of grain borrowed. After the revolution was victorious, the common people could use the IOU to redeem it. Although most people did not want to exchange it, our party would not accept the grain without the IOU, and the common people could only accept it.
Many people kept the IOUs permanently, but there were also some people who exchanged the IOUs after the founding of the People's Republic of China due to family changes. Our party also exchanged the IOUs in accordance with the original agreement. However, during the Anti-Japanese War, our party always adhered to the principle of " not taking the masses one stitch at a time ", and there was also very strict discipline in the army.
IOU for borrowing food
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, our party started the Liberation War. After the soldiers were tenacious, In the battle, our party won the final victory, and finally held the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949, announcing the founding of New China to the world. Mao Zedong was elected chairman of the Central People's Government of China.
Faced with the threat from the United States after the Korean War broke out, Mao Zedong and other central leaders announced the formation of a volunteer army to go to the Korean battlefield. Domestically, Mao Zedong carried out land reform, suppressed counterrevolutionaries and other democratic reforms, and launched the "Three Antis" campaign, opposing corruption, waste, and bureaucracy, which largely cleared up the atmosphere within the party.
In addition, Mao Zedong also made a great contribution to the diplomatic cause. Our country is also constantly developing through exploration. The speed of development also amazed the world..

Zhang Yufeng
Do you have any different opinions on these people?
The Agreement between Chairman Mao and Zhang Yufeng
Zhang Yufeng was initially a waiter on Chairman Mao's special train, and later became the Chairman's confidential secretary and personal secretary. She did not expect that she would have the opportunity to serve by Chairman Mao's side.
Zhang Yufeng was naturally very nervous when she first met Chairman Mao, but Chairman Mao had always been very kind to the people around him. He also took the initiative to talk to Zhang Yufeng and made three chapters with her . At that time, Zhang Yufeng had gradually eased her nervousness.
Chairman Mao often forgot to eat because of his busy workdays. However, in the long run, his physical condition would have problems.
Once when Zhang Yufeng asked Chairman Mao to eat, Chairman Mao's attitude was still not annoying. Zhang Yufeng also felt very aggrieved because his attitude had become bad. However, after hearing this, Chairman Mao was not angry . Instead, he took the food and started eating.
Zhang Yufeng
There were times when the two of them had disagreements in their daily interactions, but they later resolved the conflict between the two. After Chairman Mao contracted bronchitis, Zhang Yufeng, who had never studied medicine, began to receive nursing training , and took care of Chairman Mao so that his health gradually improved.
Chairman Mao also trusted Zhang Yufeng to take care of many confidential matters because of her seriousness. Zhang Yufeng even holds the key to Mao Zedong's personal safe. In Mao Zedong's personal safe, there are Mao Zedong's bankbook checks and a batch of top-secret party and state documents, which is enough to prove Chairman Mao's trust in Zhang Yufeng.
When Chairman Mao's physical condition continued to deteriorate in the later period, Zhang Yufeng still accompanied Chairman Mao and constantly comforted him. However, Chairman Mao viewed life and death very calmly, and he did not shy away from mentioning this topic , he also asked Zhang Yufeng once if he could visit him every year after his death. Zhang Yufeng naturally agreed to come, but his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Chairman Mao
After Chairman Mao passed away, Zhang Yufeng abided by Chairman Mao's agreement and would visit him on the anniversary of his death. Zhang Yufeng learned a lot from Chairman Mao. During the past few years of working beside Chairman Mao, she also saw with her own eyes Chairman Mao's diligence, thrift and hard work. She has always missed Chairman Mao.
Although Chairman Mao has passed away, his contribution to the country will never be forgotten, and his merits will always be remembered.
We must cherish our current life even more, because these are the scenes of peace and stability that the revolutionary martyrs hoped to see. People in later generations are also constantly working hard for this goal. China is also constantly developing, and its voice in the international arena is also constantly increasing .
