Go to the countryside to
The scene of building a house in the past
Mourning the great man
, On September 18, 1976, millions of people mourned Chairman Mao in Tiananmen Square
, 1976, on September 9, 1976, we were working hard on the day of Chairman Mao’s death, The newly built brigade headquarters is on the roof. The roof was built with cement prefabricated boards and . At that time, there were no cranes, pulleys and other machinery, all of which were carried up by people.
The work that day was assigned as soon as we started working in the morning. Eight of us educated youth were responsible for carrying prefabricated cement boards and lifting them from the ground through the springboard to the roof. Do you know how heavy that damn prefabricated board is? Anyway, the eight people were carrying the weight and they were tilted, and they were tilted around. On average, each person had to carry more than 100 kilograms, and a total of 54 boards were lifted. Even though we were all strong men in our prime, only about 17 or 18 years old, we had never done such extreme heavy physical work. By two o'clock in the afternoon, I was already exhausted. Just as our bodies were about to collapse, the model drama being broadcast on the brigade's speaker was suddenly interrupted. Central People's Radio Station inserted the news, saying that there was an important radio at 3 pm and asked to pay attention to listening. Hearing this, my heart skipped a beat. There was a huge ominous sign. This time, something big happened again. I don’t know what a big thing happened this time, but it must not be a good thing, because it was the announcer. People have already "sniffed" the tone of the voice. This year of 976 is really a disaster! We were in panic and extremely tired until three o'clock in the afternoon. The famous announcer of the Central People's Radio Xia Qing announced the bad news of Chairman Mao's death with a hoarse, slow and sad voice. Suddenly, the people were all stunned and stood there at a loss, then fell into grief, fear and loss. After Xia Qing finished broadcasting "Letter to the whole party, the entire army, and the people of all ethnic groups in the country", the sorrow music that had long been familiar to the Chinese people came again, bringing people's grief to the apex. Crying began to come around, and there was a The female educated youth even cried and passed away... The boys began to discuss and worry about the future of the country. Chairman Mao passed away and the sky fell. What should China do? Will the Soviet scholars in the north take the opportunity to call? The country must have first-level combat readiness . Someone who understands it better corrects: It is not level one, it is a special combat readiness.
That night, the brigade prepared wine and food for the people who participated in the building of the house according to traditional practice. If it were normal for us who were short of oil and meat, facing such delicious food, we would go to the wind to sweep away the clouds in the morning, but this time, everyone really did not have any. Can't eat it.
In the following days, the brigade also set up a mourning hall for Chairman Mao to mourn Chairman Mao for all men, women, young and old in the village. I and another representative of educated youth also participated in the duty to keep a soul for Chairman Mao.
On September 18, the capital Beijing held a memorial service for millions in Tiananmen Square. We also attended the memorial service organized by the commune and listened to the live broadcast of the Beijing venue.
There was a mess at the commune memorial service that day. A male educated youth with long hair suddenly shaved his head. In fact, it was not because he had any intention, but because the guy was making a "ghost shaving" recently and his hair fell off piece by piece , shaved his head in desperation. As a result, when he was lined up in the commune to observe silence at Chairman Mao and his old man that day, another male educated youth behind him happened to see him. His funny appearance made the little bastard laugh and was seen by the secretary of the commune's League Committee in front. . This is amazing, and a few militia immediately arrested the boy. In the following days, the commune gathered the "class enemies" captured according to the new trends of class struggle during the death of the chairman and paraded in the streets of the commune. Our little friend was fortunate to be selected. It was exactly the same as our captain's catchphrase: You boy It's the life of being shot.
Three years later, this little bastard was finally sentenced to death reprieve , but this time it was because he participated in a gang gang robbery and murder. Not only did several people snatch a unit's safe, but they also made the old man even more proud. As a result, the two main culprits were shot and the boy in our village saved his life because he didn't kill people directly.
One month later, the golden autumn of October, the land of China heard the thunder again. This time it was the "Gang of Four" who was arrested, and Chinese history opened a new page.
