1972, when the health care doctor Zhang Zuoliang was routinely tested for urination, he found that the number of red blood cells in Premier Zhou's urine exceeded the standard, which also means that the Prime Minister's body may have problems. After a follow-up visit by urinary experts Wu Jieping and others, it was finally confirmed that Premier Zhou was suffering from cancer.
But for this result, Premier Zhou didn't seem to care about the same thing.
He is still working hard for China's future. Even after promoting Deng Xiaoping's gradual comeback and undergoing surgery to go to Yuquanshan for recuperation, he did not regard himself as a patient, but was still working, often all night long.
In fact, everyone knows that he doesn’t care. He just wants to burn out the last light and do many useful things for the people. This is also the reason why he is highly respected by the people.
On January 8, 1976, Premier Zhou died of illness at the age of 78. After hearing the news of his death, the whole country was sad, and countless people shed tears, and the ten miles of Chang'an Street was surrounded by people who came to see him off.
He is a well-deserved great man.
. Among the several surgeries before his death, he knew the difficulty of the operation, but he still told his wife Deng Yingchao not to blame any doctor and to thank everyone. At the end of his life, he was in a state of pain but still told the doctor whether he could hum and still maintain the spirit of a gentleman. In addition, he also left three wishes to his wife Deng Yingchao for his future life after his death, showing his noble character.
However, after Deng Yingchao put forward three last wishes to Deng Xiaoping and other leaders, Deng Xiaoping directly expressed his opposition and said bluntly that the people would not agree. Finally, under Chairman Mao’s decision, he agreed to the last of the three last wishes.
What three wishes did Premier Zhou leave behind that would make it so difficult for the central government to make a decision?
Premier Zhou’s gentleman’s wind
1898, Premier Zhou was born in Huaian, Jiangsu. When he went to Japan to study in 1917, he began to come into contact with Marxism and gradually became the trendsetter of the times.
At that time, New Culture Movement was in full swing. Anti-imperialism and feudalism also showed a prairie fire and became increasingly fierce. Finally, the May Fourth Movement broke out, and workers and the masses took to the streets to demand that the signing of unequal treaties be rejected. It was also at this time that Zhou Enlai, who had just returned to China, became the leader of the Tianjin student circle.
. Under the turbulent situation, Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao got to know each other. Although they studied in boys' and girls' schools, they had common pursuits and common hobbies, and these also became the basis of their love. In this way, even after Zhou Enlai went to France to study in 1920, the two maintained letter exchanges.
While studying in France, Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping formed a deep friendship. It was during his work-study work in France that he met Zhou Enlai and Zhao Shiyan, and under their influence, Deng Xiaoping embarked on the road of revolution. During his time in France, Zhou Enlai and others established the Youth Communist Party of China, and Deng Xiaoping also joined in it. The long-term revolutionary friendship also gave Zhou Enlai a deep understanding of Deng Xiaoping's character.
1924, Zhou Enlai chose to return to China to participate in the revolution, while Deng Xiaoping chose to go to Moscow Sun Yat-sen University to study. The following year after returning to China, Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao, who confirmed their relationship in letters, became husband and wife.
soon Deng Yingchao also became pregnant, but the situation was turbulent and busy with work, so Deng Yingchao chose to abort the child. A year later, Deng Yingchao became pregnant again, but the child died due to difficult labor during childbirth. It was timely that Chiang Kai-shek launched the April 12th coup and massacred Communist Party members. At that time, Deng Yingchao, who was in a difficult labor and infirmity, had to choose to hide everywhere, which also made Deng Yingchao lose the ability to give birth.
After learning about it, Zhou Enlai was deeply saddened and deeply blamed himself. The answer he gave is to protect the whole life and never leave him. "I am a firm materialist , only you and I hope there will be a next life."
This is the style of a real man and a gentleman.The same is true between
and Deng Xiaoping. After Deng Xiaoping returned to China in 1927, he once again became his deputy; and after the founding of the country, Premier Zhou became the first prime minister, and Deng Xiaoping became his deputy again in 1952.
He deeply agrees with Deng Xiaoping's talent, and this kind of approval even ignores his own situation. After Deng Xiaoping was stopped from working and encountered difficulties, he not only missed his situation, but also called himself to help improve his life.
Time flies, Nixon's visit to China in 1972 opened the door to Sino-US relations. Premier Zhou not only attended the meeting in person, but also held earnest talks with Nixon .
However, less than 2 months after Nixon visited China , Premier Zhou's health care doctor Zhang Zuoliang found an abnormality during routine urination tests by Premier Zhou, and eventually confirmed that Premier Zhou had cancer.
At that time, Premier Zhou knew his situation and knew that Deng Xiaoping’s comeback needed to be put on the agenda. In this way, meetings, meetings...
Deng Xiaoping also gradually returned, but Premier Zhou's health finally lost.
Three wishes made people cry
Several consecutive surgeries did not have a good result. He also suffered from the pain and finally died on January 8, 1976.
After hearing about Premier Zhou's death, central leaders came one after another. Despite his inner grief, Deng Yingchao, as his wife, still has to put forward her husband's last wish.
First, don’t say goodbye to the body, don’t make it special.
Second, no memorial service is held, and everything should be kept simple for funerals.
3, do not keep the ashes, scatter the ashes on the land of the motherland.
Hearing this last wish request, central leaders such as Li Xiannian, Deng Xiao expressed their opposition. Deng Xiaoping even made a direct statement: It’s not just that we don’t agree, but the people of the whole country will not agree.
. Under the tangle, these three wishes cannot be easily approved, so they were sent to Chairman Mao’s office to ask Chairman Mao to make a decision. Chairman Mao was in a bad state at that time, but when he heard that Zhou Enlai and Shi Changdi still endured the patient's forced energy. When he saw these three last wishes, Chairman Mao solemnly ordered the third one - not keep the ashes and scattered the ashes on the land of the motherland.
As for the first and second wishes, who can bear to agree?
In the end, the people sent each other ten miles of streets. At the memorial service on January 15, Deng Xiaoping delivered a eulogy, Chairman Mao presented a wreath, and Premier Zhou's ashes also spread all over the motherland's beautiful rivers and mountains.
tribute to the Prime Minister! A great man of a generation will be immortal!
