Mao Zedong’s view of life and death: I want to see God, my God is Marx

Comrade Mao Zedong, respected by thousands of people, was once hailed as "Longevity." But he is a thorough materialist and has talked about his view of life and death many times. Appears very sober and profound.


1. People cannot live forever. Mao Zedong, who is well versed in Chinese history, knows that birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature. People cannot change this, and there is no need to resist. In September 1961, British Field Marshal Montgomery visited China. During a visit to a hospital, he said to a Chinese doctor: "Your Chinese medicine is very magical. You should invent a medicine that will allow your Chairman Mao to eat forever." Mao Zedong heard the news. Later, he laughed and said with emotion: "What is the elixir of life? Even Qin Shihuang has not been found. Without that, it is impossible. This marshal is kind, and I want to tell him that I am ready to see Marx at any time. Without me, China will move forward, and the earth will turn..." It can be seen that Mao Zedong is not afraid of death, nor does he regard himself as an indispensable and important person. However, he hopes that the cause of the Chinese revolution will continue. Someone.


Second, laugh at the fact that you survived many disasters. "For the sake of sacrificing so much ambition, dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky", Mao Zedong experienced too many moments of life and death and scenes of succession in the revolutionary career of himself and his relatives. On January 9, 1965, Mao Zedong met with the American journalist Edgar Snow for the fourth time. In the conversation, Mao Zedong fondly recalled the legendary experience of his nine deaths with his relatives. He said: "For me and my family, my two younger brothers were killed in the war. My wife Kaihui was also killed in 1930. Killing, and my son An Ying also died in the Korean War. But the strange thing is that the god of death has always let me go again and again. Several times I have prepared to die, but the catastrophe survives. . It seems that Lord Yan just doesn’t want me, what can I do?” Mao Zedong said,The silence is full of the vicissitudes of life, which makes people feel the heroic and calmness of Mao Zedong and other revolutionaries of the older generation who put their lives and deaths aside for the revolutionary cause.


3. Like to tease the topic of death with humor and mockery. In July 1975, when the faltering Mao Zedong met with Thai Prime Minister Keli, he immediately asked: "Are you not afraid of me? Chiang Kai-shek and the West called me a bandit, criminal, and murderer. I am dying." Keli said: "Impossible." Mao Zedong asked what was the reason, Keli said humorously: "Chairman, the world cannot lose the number one'bad guy' like you." When Mao Zedong heard it, he trembled with excitement. He slapped the seat, and then stood up hard, shaking hands with everyone present. During a small chat, Mao Zedong also arranged to take pictures of his own affairs: "It is best to cremate a person after death, and throw the ashes into the sea to feed the fish. The fish and shrimp will be grateful." This is how Mao Zedong faced death. He liked this kind of humor and ridicule, and he seemed extremely tolerant, sensible and upright.


4. My God is Marx. After 1970, when Mao Zedong met with U.S. Secretary of State Kissinger, former British Prime Minister Heath, Pakistani President Yahya Khan and many others, he mentioned that he had received an invitation from God. It goes without saying, that is, he is not afraid of death, respects the laws of nature, despises the god of death, and is calm and calm. Mao Zedong also said: "My God is Marx." It can be said that there is something in the words, and he has repeatedly emphasized that his ideal and belief in revolution is Marxism, loyal and unchanging to death.
