Early in the morning, Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou were radiant and waiting, and welcomed the old man in his best condition: "We have been waiting for you for a long time. You are an old Peking man. I want to ask you to discuss some questions."

In the autumn of 1948, Chairman Mao led the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to Xibaipo . At this time, the War of Liberation was coming to an end, and he was facing the liberation of Peiping and planning for the establishment of a new China.

At this time, Chairman Mao thought of someone and asked Ye Jianying to send someone to pick him up to Xibaipo to discuss national affairs.

Early in the morning, Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou were radiant and waited to welcome the old man in the best state: "We have been waiting for you for a long time. You are an old Peking man. I want to ask you to discuss some issues."

The old man looked at Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou and said to them: "My suggestion is to attack Tianjin and force Beiping to peacefully liberate ."

At that time, many military commanders put forward different opinions, thinking that it was too difficult to attack Tianjin, and casualties must be difficult to predict. It is better to attack Peiping directly.

But the old man always insisted on his opinion and gave Chairman Mao a full reason. Chairman Mao listened to the fierce argument between the two sides, and finally defeated the public and attacked Tianjin and liberated Peking. Just because of his words, Chairman Mao changed the direction of combat. Who is he?

This old man is Chairman Mao’s mentor .

Attack wise eyes

1912, the 19-year-old Chairman Mao was admitted to the Hunan Provincial Higher Middle School, and Fu Dingyi was the principal of this school.

Fu Dingyi saw Chairman Mao’s essay, and couldn’t help but wonder how a student could write such a grand article?

He asked Chairman Mao to inform Chairman Mao to come to the office for an interview, but when he saw Chairman Mao dressed in poor clothes, he was a little unbelievable.

Can such a poor student in front of him really write such a wonderful article? The rules are uncertain.

In order to test whether Chairman Mao has real talent and knowledge, Fu Dingyi asked him to write another article on the spot.

"Principal, what is the proposition?"

"Let's take saving the country as the theme."

Chairman Mao thought for a moment and wrote on the paper. In less than two hours, he handed the article to Fu Dingyi for review.

After seeing this article with rich words, meticulous logic and novel topics, Fu Dingyi couldn't help but sigh that he hadn't seen such a talented student for a long time.

That's it, Chairman Mao successfully admitted to the school through Fu Dingyi's inspection.

Later, Chairman Mao was admitted to Hunan Normal School again, and Fu Dingyi was also assigned to the school as a teacher by his superiors.

Meeting again, both of them felt intimate and often got together.

号 Determine to cherish one's talent, and often provide individual guidance to Chairman Mao on Chinese, history, ethics and other aspects.

When he learned that Chairman Mao’s family was poor, he often gave him care and help within his ability in life. He also gave Chairman Mao the "Imperial Praise Collection" he had collected for many years to read. The book is complex and records many things that have happened in the past dynasties. The content is obscure and difficult to understand, and many people cannot understand the content.

But Chairman Mao regarded it as a treasure. Since he got it, he has often forgotten to eat and sleep, and has since developed a strong interest in Chinese history.

Chairman Mao had the idea of ​​taking a break from class and studying freely. He did not want time to be fixed.

Fu Dingyi heard the news that Chairman Mao had dropped out of school, and tried his best to keep him, hoping that he could stay in school and continue his studies.

But Chairman Mao made up his mind to stop dropping out of school, so Fu Dingyi had to let him go, hoping that Chairman Mao would find him if he encountered anything in his future study.

Although Chairman Mao dropped out of school, he stayed in the library every day, read various books, and broadened his horizons.

1915, Fu Dingyi went to Peking for work reasons, and Chairman Mao also came to Peking for work and study.

With the help of Yang Changji, he came to Peking University as a library assistant and could often contact Li Dazhao and others.

After coming to Peking, Chairman Mao naturally couldn't forget to visit his mentor Fu Dingyi.

Two old friends with deep feelings met again, and naturally chatted happily and studied ancient science.

He admires Chairman Mao’s idea of ​​transforming China and has repeatedly encouraged Chairman Mao to implement it according to his ideas. No matter what economic difficulties are, he will help solve them.

Fu Dingyi often uses his personal experience and years of experience to tell Chairman Mao that only by caring about national affairs and the people can we go far and be invincible.

It is precisely because of his continuous teaching and influence that Chairman Mao has achieved his subsequent achievements. In order to support Chairman Mao, Fu Dingyi spared no effort.

1922, Chairman Mao led thousands of people in Changsha to hold a general strike and also led workers to demonstrate and parade.

In order to resist the local reactionary warlords, Chairman Mao debated with his representative and opposing warlord Zhao Hengti for three days. Although he finally obtained democratic rights such as workers' gatherings, Chairman Mao became the person Zhao Hengti hated the most.

Zhao Hengti argued that Chairman Mao was not convinced, so he used his power to want him, leaving Chairman Mao almost no place to gain a foothold in Hunan.

Fu Dingyi is in Peiping, but he always asks about Chairman Mao’s news, worried that he will encounter something unexpected.

As long as there are relatives and friends who come to Peking, Fu Dingyi will ask them if there is any news about Chairman Mao and whether they know the latest situation.

Rescue Chairman Mao

This year, Fu Ding went back to Changsha to visit relatives and friends, and he specially visited a relative Li who served as the secretary-general of the government.

"Brother Yucheng (Fu Dingyi), long time no see."

Fu Dingyi turned around and saw that it was Secretary-General Li who was visiting today: "I won't go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. I'm here to see you today. First, I haven't seen you for a long time, come to see you; second, I want to inquire about someone's situation with you, don't know if you are inconvenient?"

"Chairman Mao."

When he heard this name, Secretary-General Li kept staring at Fu Dingyi, and he advised Fu Dingyi to stay away from this person.

Li also talked about Chairman Mao’s wanted incident and took out a secret message that Zhao Hengti was preparing to arrest Chairman Mao.

Fu Dingyi was shocked when he saw it. He strongly advised Li: "You must not arrest him. This person's future is limitless. Maybe he can rewrite Chinese history in the future."

In order to make Li believe, he kept emphasizing the teacher-student friendship between himself and Chairman Mao. After so many years of love, I hope to be moved by love.

Secretary-General Li doesn’t understand why Fu Dingyi is so concerned about a student? He quickly advised: "It's very dangerous for you to do this, and maybe you will be implicated!"

"I'm not afraid. Since I dare to guarantee him, I'm not afraid of life. I'm willing to protect him with my life!"

Although Li was unable to fail to execute the orders of his superiors, he still gave Fu a list of people who could help. After

got the list, he prepared generous gifts, visited them one by one, and cleared them.

Relying on his status and influence in Hunan, he ran around and acted as a lobbyist for Chairman Mao, and finally delayed Chairman Mao's arrest by 20 days.

After doing these things, Fu Dingyi entrusts his friend in Hunan to find Chairman Mao and give him 20 Ocean to send him away from Hunan.

If it weren't for Fu Ding's help, Chairman Mao would not have left so smoothly, and it is unknown that Chinese history might have been rewritten.

Because Chairman Mao was arrested

1937, the Japanese invaders destroyed Fu Dingyi's small courtyard in Peking.

Eyes as the lilac trees in the courtyard are withering, the plaster flag of the Japanese invaders is rising high, and there is no more joy of the past in the courtyard.

"We cannot succumb to the invaders and make a living under their hands!" Fu Dingyi said angrily.

"But the entire China is occupied by Japanese invaders, so where is it safe?" His wife looked worried.

"We can go back to Hunan and find Runzhi! If we want to drive the invaders out of China, the only way is to join Runzhi's team!"

After making up his mind, he took his wife to pack his luggage, prepared to avoid the spies in Peking, and left quietly.

His luggage is very simple. Apart from his clothes, they are several books given to him by Chairman Mao, but these books have brought him a prison.

After going through a lot of hardships, Fu Dingyi finally arrived in Chongqing with his wife, but the Kuomintang government in Chongqing wanted to use his reputation and status to let him do things for the Kuomintang.

They promised Fu Dingyi a high-ranking official salary, but Fu Dingyi was dismissive at all. He just wanted to find Chairman Mao as soon as possible, so he simply didn't even say hello and set off for Hunan overnight.

His attitude also made the Kuomintang very angry with him and wanted to teach him some lessons.

After arriving in Hunan, Fu Dingyi was engaged in education and actively contacted the underground party organization. Chairman Mao gave him many revolutionary books.

Just as he was reading Chairman Mao’s works tirelessly, a group of Kuomintang policemen suddenly broke into the room and arrested him without saying a word.

"Why are you arresting me?" Fu Dingyi protested sternly and asked them to give an explanation.

"You knowingly ask, but you are embarrassed to ask why? Just based on your relationship with Chairman Mao, you are in conflict!"

"What's wrong with Runzhi's relationship? He is my student, we are open and upright, I'm proud of him!"

"Save these words to you before you can talk about them!"

In prison, Fu Dingyi was asked to explain his relationship with Chairman Mao every day and contact him.

He wrote the four big words "Wujian Teacher and Student" on the white paper sent by the jailer.

After repeated rescues from the party organization and relatives and friends, Fu Dingyi was finally acquitted. After being released from prison, he tried every means to contact the party organization and found Chairman Mao’s works to read.

His wife advised him: "You might as well wait for a while before reading Runzhi's book. What should I do if I am arrested?"

Fu Ding shook his head and said, "No, I am communicating with Runzhi in spiritual terms. Do you still remember? At that time, in Changsha, if I didn't talk for a day, I felt that something was missing."

The wife saw that she couldn't persuade him, so she gave up.

Dignitary tenant

After Japan surrendered unconditionally, Fu Ding returned to Peiping again and again. The original house had been destroyed so that it could not be lived in. He simply rented a large courtyard house.

Madam doesn't understand why he rented such a large house. Only two people live in it, and the rent alone is a big expense.

Fu Dingyi mysteriously said to his wife, "Our family will welcome a distinguished guest."

His wife was curious about him. Where did the distinguished guest come from in their family?

It turned out that after Fu Dingyi arrived in Peiping, he secretly contacted the underground party comrades from Peking and asked them to contact Ye Jianying, the representative sent by Yan'an .

Through Ye Jianying, he can inquire about Chairman Mao’s recent situation.

When he learned that Ye Jianying and the others were crowded in a small room due to funding reasons, he planned to rent a big house.

Because he knew that in addition to living, Ye Jianying and the others also had to meet guests. In addition to sleeping, a small bed also had to accumulate a lot of documents, which was not enough.

happens to be looking for a house to live in, so why not find a bigger one so that they can live in together?

After finding the house, Fu Dingyi mobilized his family to clean it together. It took only half a day to organize the house neatly.

Looking at the newly renovated room, he asked someone to force Ye Jianying and his group to drag back their luggage and let them live in the east room.

Since Ye Jianying and the others moved in, Fu Dingyi talked to them when he had time to understand the current situation.

Once, Ye Jianying told him excitedly: "I just received a telegram from Yan'an. Chairman Mao invited you to visit Yan'an."

After receiving this news, Fu Dingyi was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. The next day he took his daughter on a journey to Yan'an.

In Yan'an, Chairman Mao welcomed Fu Dingyi and his daughter to the cave where he lived, and asked Premier Zhou and Zhu De to accompany him to hold a banquet to welcome him.

Chairman Mao also personally presided over the welcome meeting and introduced Fu Dingyi to other comrades in the Party Central Committee and asked him about his views on the future.

In order to fully understand Yan'an, Fu Dingyi lived here for three months and visited the Eighth Route Army's schools, farms, and factories every day.

Although the people in Yan'an are not rich, when he saw the people's eyes full of hope for the future, he knew that he had not read the wrong person.

Although he has only lived for three months, he feels that what he saw and felt in these three months is far more profound than reading ten years of books.

Since visiting Yan'an, Fu Ding has shared his feelings in Yan'an as soon as he meets everyone, saying that Yan'an is a revolutionary holy land, which makes his friends yearn for it.

He and his friends seized every opportunity to promote Chairman Mao’s proposals and expose the conspiracy of the Kuomintang’s real civil war and false peace.

With his efforts, more and more people have accepted his thoughts, are willing to get close to the Communist Party, and are willing to believe in the Communist Party.

How could the Kuomintang, which lost the hearts of the people, allow such a thing to happen?

In 1947, the Kuomintang authorities arrested Fu Dingyi and forced him to confess his crime.

Fu Dingyi was arrested, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the people of Peking, especially those of the literati who enjoyed a prestigious reputation in the education industry.

After Ye Jianying learned the news, he arranged for underground party to rescue him while reporting the news to Chairman Mao.

Chairman Mao ordered: At all costs, no matter what kind of power is used, Fu Dingyi must be rescued safely!

Ye Jianying, in accordance with Chairman Mao's instructions, mobilized all underground party and forces from all walks of life in Peking to rescue.

Under the organization of our party, dozens of professors and scholars jointly put pressure on the Kuomintang, demanding that they immediately release the talisman.

Under the efforts of all parties, the Kuomintang finally released the talisman under pressure.

1946, Chiang Kai-shek launched a civil war with , once again putting the people in dire straits, and this practice pushed him to the opposite of the people.

Therefore, during the civil war, the Kuomintang suffered losses and its strength was greatly reduced.

The War of Liberation soon ushered in the dawn of victory, the Kuomintang army was defeated step by step, and Chairman Mao and the Party Central Committee began to prepare for the establishment of a new China.

Xibaipo discusses military aircraft and protects Beiping

0 In the autumn of 1948, Chairman Mao brought the Party Central Committee to Xibaipo, Hebei Province to station. The most urgent task was to liberate Peiping and establish a new China.

Fu Dingyi conveyed his opinions and suggestions on the liberation of Peking to Chairman Mao through Ye Jianying, and proposed that he wanted to meet Chairman Mao in person.

After learning about it, Chairman Mao instructed Ye Jianying to send someone to Peiping to escort Fu Dingyi to Xibaipo for discussion.

That night, when it was late at night, he disguised himself as an old man in the countryside and quietly left Peking with the help of his daughter.

Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou were waiting in the rural yard early in the morning. At this time, the climate in Xibaipo was still a little cold.

But several leaders did not notice at all, their hearts were enough to drive away the cold.

The guards of Xibaipo brought Fu Dingyi and the others to Chairman Mao. Chairman Mao held his hands: "We haven't seen each other for two years. Are you in good health?"

He nodded, looked at the newly renovated Xibaipo, and said with a smile: "I never thought that things would develop so quickly no matter what.

I believed you could enter Peking from the beginning, but I didn't expect you to be so early."

"Isn't this what you taught me? We must conform to the will of the people and the development of the times. Several of us listened specifically to your opinions on the liberation of Peking."

Chairman Mao felt that Fu Dingyi was an old friend for many years and was also considered his own family. He didn't need to say much polite words, so they did not exchange greetings and went straight to the point.

"Old Fu, I won't be polite to you. Please talk about your suggestions for the liberation of Peking. You are from old Peking."

Fu Ding nodded, pointed to the map on the wall, and stood beside Chairman Mao and said: "After several months of careful consideration, I think we should first take Tianjin by force first and finally peacefully liberate Peking."

Chairman Mao said excitedly after hearing this, "Old Fu, your opinion is very valuable, we will discuss it carefully."

The Central Committee held a special military meeting, and Chairman Mao specially invited Fu Dingyi to attend.

In addition to Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou and Fu Dingyi, the participants were all commanders who were ordered to attack the two cities.

Premier Zhou solemnly introduced Fu Dingyi to everyone and asked him to express his views.

Fu Dingyi said modestly: "I am just a person who has been engaged in the education industry for many years. I am an outsider about military and war, and I don't even know how to use guns.

is a show of his skills here today. Please listen to me. Tianjin is like the gate of Peking. Once Tianjin is taken down, it is easy to enter Peking.

Peacefully liberating Peking can not only reduce casualties, but also protect this world-famous ancient city, nor will it displace millions of people in Peking and suffer from the damage of war.

No matter what aspect it is, it is beneficial to the country and the people without any harm. Therefore, I think that we should first attack Tianjin Wei , and then take Beiping City . "

Fu Dingyi's words just finished, and someone immediately raised objections. The news received by the commander was as follows:

After other cities were liberated, the Kuomintang strictly guarded the inner and outer cities of Tianjin in order to defend Beiping to the death. Not only strengthened the defense, but even the army increased to more than 200,000.

Chen Changjie, who was stationed in Tianjin, had already assured Chiang Kai-shek that he would swear to live and die with Tianjin. He even boasted that he would not be able to take over Tianjin for two months.

Attacking Tianjin by force will increase the difficulty of siege, increase the casualties of the People's Liberation Army, and the front line will be lengthened.

But Peking is different. Fu Zuoyi's soldiers are not strong in combat, and Fu Zuoyi himself is not a loyal subordinate of Chiang Kai-shek. He also hates war and may surrender early.

In their opinion, it is easier and faster to capture Peiping. After Peiping takes over, Tianjin will sooner or later surrender without a fight.

At this time, Fu Ding asked Chairman Mao a question: "I have considered the questions you mentioned, but there is one question: bombing a city with a thousand-year historical and cultural heritage with artillery fire. Have you ever thought about the consequences? How much will we lose? Can you estimate?"

Chairman Mao listened to the fierce debate between the two sides below, without saying a word, smoking cigarettes, not knowing what he was thinking.

A moment later, Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou exchanged glances and said, "Today's meeting ends here. The Central Military Commission properly considers everyone's opinions."

Chairman Mao actually recognized Fu Dingyi's suggestions at the meeting, but he didn't think about how to convince others.

A day later, Chairman Mao opposed the opposition and decided to take Fu Dingyi's suggestion to seize Tianjin by force and liberate Peking.

On January 14, 1949, Chairman Mao ordered Northeast Field Army to launch an attack on Chen Changjie, using multiple arms to fight together, and took Tianjin in just 29 hours and captured Chen Changjie alive.

After the liberation of Tianjin, Fu Zuoyi was in panic all day long. Under the repeated persuasion of his daughter Fu Dongju, he finally announced the uprising and the peaceful liberation of Peking.

The first director

After the liberation of Peking, Chairman Mao asked Fu Dingyi to visit his home, and the two talked about their past relationship.

Unconsciously, the two knew each other for more than 30 years. Chairman Mao said with deep emotion: "Teacher, it is thanks to you that I can do today.

I think I didn't understand anything at the beginning. You taught me a lot. No matter when, you are my teacher."

"It's not like this. Teachers and students have no order. Those who are capable are teachers. As long as they are knowledgeable, anyone can be a teacher. By the way, I want to know, after the founding of New China, what is your first strategy?" Fu Dingyi asked.

"The most important thing at the moment is to hold a meeting and invite patriots to discuss state affairs. I invite you today, and I hope you can serve as the director of Literature and History Museum ."

Fu Dingyi thought Chairman Mao was thinking about the work arranged in order to take care of him in the past, so he refused: "Although I have been your teacher and helped you, I will not ask you for your return. As long as you can let me compile my "Lianmian Dictionary" with peace of mind, I will be satisfied."

"Teacher, you have been thinking too much. This position must be you. I have considered it. You have unique conditions."

After Chairman Mao finished his reasons, he agreed to take the position, and at the same time edited the "Lianmian Dictionary" into a book and officially published it.

1958, after Fu Dingyi passed away, his body was buried in Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery. Although the person left, he had been living in Chairman Mao's heart.
