Premier Zhou devoted his life to the country and the people. After his death, people's spontaneous "Take the Prime Minister in a long street" was a manifestation of people's respect and nostalgia for Premier Zhou.
Premier Zhou used his unique personality and charm to influence the people around him, and his guard Han Fuyu is such a person.
After Premier Zhou’s death, Han Fuyu has been collecting and organizing information about Premier Zhou, and has been carrying forward the spirit of Premier Zhou with his own actions.
But in 1994, Han Fuyu was furious in the memorial hall of the Prime Minister's hometown Huai'an . What's going on?
Premier Zhou
Being a guard by the Prime Minister
Han Fuyu was born in Laizhou, Shandong. Because his family life was really unsustainable, Han Fuyu followed his family to Mudanjiang in the northeast at a young age.
12-year-old Han Fuyu went to a shop to be an apprentice. Although his life was still difficult and he was often beaten and scolded by his boss and bullied by the Japanese, he could barely survive.
1945, after Japan surrendered to , Han Fuyu, who was just 16 years old, joined the local Northeast People's Autonomous Army and soon became a glorious Communist Party member.
Han Fuyu is young, has a smart mind and has a high awareness. He quickly grew from an ordinary soldier to a deputy platoon leader, and was selected to become the personal guard of the regiment commander.
At the end of 1948, the national liberation was about to come to the central government and serve as a guard for the central leaders. After cultural examinations, skills competitions and political reviews, Han Fuyu passed the review as he wished and began his time with Premier Zhou day and night.
Han Fuyu, Premier Zhou and others
As a guard, his work is not just about being responsible for safety, but also about taking care of all aspects of life. However, Premier Zhou does not like others to take care of his daily life.
Someone once was taught a lesson by Premier Zhou's calm face because he grabbed Premier Zhou's front and opened the cotton door curtain and opened the door for Premier Zhou.
Premier Zhou believes that we are the Communist Party of the people, not the Kuomintang, not the warlords, and do not engage in formalistic and bureaucratic styles.
At first, Han Fuyu didn't pay attention to these small details, because in his opinion, these are normal work content, so shortly after he became Premier Zhou's guardian, he was "learned" by Premier Zhou.
Premier Zhou
Premier Zhou was hit by Jiang Qing's frightened mount when he was in Yan'an . His right arm was left with permanent trauma. Not only was it inconvenient to flex and stretch, but it was also difficult to raise his hand up.
After Han Fuyu knew about this situation, he paid great attention to Premier Zhou's life in this area so that he could take care of Premier Zhou's inconvenience at any time.
Once, Premier Zhou found that his shoelaces were loose while walking, so he stopped to tie them. After discovering it, Han Fuyu hurriedly bent down and wanted to help Premier Zhou tie his shoelaces.
Premier Zhou always disagreed with Han Fuyu's help. In the end, Premier Zhou put his foot on a small bamboo stool and tied his shoelaces with his left hand, leaving Han Fuyu a little embarrassed.
Premier Zhou
"Xiao Han, don't mind." Premier Zhou said to Han Fuyu while walking.
"We Communists are ordinary people, they are all ordinary people. They don't need to do any class or special things. Although you are a guard, you are not inferior to me, and I don't have more than you. I have some hands, and I can do it."
Premier Zhou does not allow others to serve him, but he is willing to serve others. Han Fuyu's wife Ho Yinghua is also serving Premier Zhou, who is a service staff member of Xihua Hall .
One day after Premier Zhou and his wife finished their meal, Ho Yinghua packed up the dishes and picked them up and walked towards the kitchen. After seeing this, Premier Zhou immediately stood up and walked quickly to the door, opening the door for Ho Yinghua.
Things like this are not uncommon in the West Flower Hall. Premier Zhou is polite to the staff of the West Flower Hall and has never been divided into class levels.

Saved his life by the Prime Minister
Han Fuyu As Premier Zhou's guard, his main job is to protect the Prime Minister's safety, but no one would have thought that Premier Zhou saved Han Fuyu's life instead.
In 1952, Premier Zhou went to the Soviet Embassy to hold talks with the Soviet ambassador to China Eugene, and Han Fuyu went there together as a guard.
After the talks, Eugene, who came to see him off, shook hands and greeted Premier Zhou outside the car. Premier Zhou signaled that Han Fuyu would get on the car first. After the greetings, Premier Zhou finally got on the car. Eugene closed the car door outside and waved goodbye outside the car until the car drove away.
The driver at that time was the old Red Army Zhong Buyun. He was Premier Zhou’s driver for many years, and the car was driving very steadily.
Zhongbuyun
But because we had to catch up with the next event that day, the greetings with Eugene took a little longer, so the car drove a little faster.
When turning at an intersection, the rear door on the left suddenly shook open, and Han Fuyu, who was sitting on the left, was thrown out of the car half of his body.
Fortunately, Premier Zhou grabbed Han Fuyu's clothes, and the driver Zhong Buyun hurriedly put the car right next to the road, so that Han Fuyu was not thrown out of the car.
It turned out that Eugene didn't use any force when closing the door. The door was just a false cover, and the car at that time was not as scientific and technological as it was on the car now, so Zhong Buyun did not find that the door was not closed.
Prince Zhou and others
Fortunately, that day Premier Zhou asked Han Fuyu to get on the bus first, so he was in the position where Premier Zhou often sat, otherwise the person who encountered danger at that time might be Premier Zhou.
Han Fuyu, who was sitting in the car, breathed a sigh of relief and covered his face and said "I was sent by the central government to be your guard, but I didn't expect you to save it. It's so embarrassing."
Premier Zhou laughed, "This is called reciprocity, I think it's fair and reasonable."
At the same time, the Prime Minister also comforted the driver Zhong Buyun. This was all accidents, not his fault, and advised him not to take this matter to heart.
Han Fuyu
Prime Minister also "traveled to the back door"
Han Fuyu was taking turns to take care of Premier Zhou with Cheng Yuangong and Zhang Shuying. Although these three people were young men in their twenties and thirties, they couldn't stand it even if they were around the Prime Minister for a long time.
Han Fuyu went to the hospital for intestinal obstruction because he always had stomachache.
Originally, he had to take a break after the operation, but Han Fuyu was worried that Cheng Yuangong and Zhang Shuying were under too much pressure. In addition, he was indeed young and strong, so he continued to work after a few days of rest.
Seeing that Han Fuyu was back to work so soon, Premier Zhou specially arranged for Han Fuyu to have dinner at the small kitchen, and Sister Deng also gave her milk to Han Fuyu to let Han Fuyu, who should have had a semi-liquid diet recover as soon as possible.
Han Fuyu and others
In fact, there is nothing special about the small stove in the West Flower Hall. It is the same as the food in the canteen in other people. It is just to take care of Premier Zhou’s work and get the stove at any time, so that Premier Zhou can eat a bite of hot food. But this will allow Han Fuyu, who has just undergone surgery, to less stimulate the stomach and intestines and better recover.
But Han Fuyu's intestines were not good, and the old disease relapsed soon, and there were sequelae of surgery. This time the disease was even worse than last time.
Han Fuyu was worried that his body would affect Premier Zhou's work, so he asked Premier Zhou's secretary He Qian with reluctance and reluctance to transfer himself to the communication room.
After Premier Zhou found out, he told He Qian that Han Fuyu got sick here, so I have to be responsible for it. What's going on when I throw it to another department? That is not only irresponsibility to other departments, but also irresponsibility to comrades.
Premier Zhou
Just like that, Han Fuyu was left by Premier Zhou, but he could no longer serve as a guard, but instead serve as a life management and food procurement.
Later, some people said that Soviet experts in Beijing could treat this gastrointestinal disease, so Premier Zhou arranged for Han Fuyu to treat it.
However, because the Soviet Union at that time required only to treat leading cadres who reached a certain level, Han Fuyu's level was not enough, so Premier Zhou issued a letter of introduction saying that Han Fuyu was a "company-level cadre."
Then when Han Fuyu went to the cadre sanatorium in Northeast China for rehabilitation treatment, Premier Zhou simply "promoted" him, saying that he was "deputy guard leader". It is precisely because of Premier Zhou’s false reporting of his posts during these few times that Han Fuyu’s gastrointestinal disease was completely treated.
Han Fuyu
The nostalgia for the Prime Minister is integrated into life
1957, the central government implemented streamlining of personnel. Han Fuyu left the West Flower Hall where he had worked for 5 years and was transferred to a new department to start a new work and life, but he always missed Premier Zhou. Premier Zhou and Sister Deng also thought about his condition and often asked about Han Fuyu's recent situation through phone and letters.
In 1976, when Premier Zhou passed away, Han Fuyu didn't know the news. When he learned from the newspaper that Premier Zhou had passed away, he cried alone in the room for a long time.
Because Han Fuyu was not a staff member of the West Flower Hall at that time, he was not arranged on the condolence list. Han Fuyu squeezed into the crowd and mixed into the team saying goodbye to Premier Zhou.
Fortunately, he met Zhou Jiading, who was guarding Premier Zhou among the crowd of mourning. Zhou Jiading once served as Premier Zhou’s military secretary and had a relationship with Han Fuyu.
Zhou Enlai passed away
Han Fuyu took advantage of the opportunity to shake hands with Zhou Jiading and stayed in the guard team, fulfilling his wish to finally stand for the Prime Minister.
After Premier Zhou's death, Han Fuyu incorporated his nostalgia for Premier Zhou into his life. He has visited Premier Zhou's hometown Huai'an many times, from the mountains, on the road, and from Premier Zhou's former residence to search for Premier Zhou's footsteps.
In 1992, when the Huai'an Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall opened, Han Fuyu received an invitation from the memorial hall as a special guest.
Despite the heavy flood in Huai'an that year, the central and local governments issued a notice to lower the standards for opening ceremony for safety reasons, Han Fuyu attended the opening ceremony as an individual and presented a large-scale commemorative album of the founding of the Party to the memorial hall.
In Han Fuyu's words: "Do what you say, be realistic, this is what the Prime Minister teaches me."
Han Fuyu and others
1994, the Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall held a Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall Memorial Hall Association, and Han Fuyu was invited to attend again, but at this meeting, Han Fuyu got angry rarely. The reason for the
incident is that an old comrade among the guests who attended the meeting once wrote an article. The article mainly organizes Han Fuyu's oral narratives, describing some things in Premier Zhou's life. There is no error in the article
, but many of the things in this article are not described by Han Fuyu, and Han Fuyu has not received any relevant notice.
"You said it was my oral statement, but did I say these words here? Did you communicate with me before writing the article? Why don't you let me read the article you wrote first? Do you still know what it means to seek truth?"
Han Fuyu in his later years
Han Fuyu's anger was not only because the other party did not notify him or let him check, but more because the other party's article made up some things about the Prime Minister, which he could not accept.
The matter ended with the old comrade admitting his mistake and apologizing. Han Fuyu also accepted the apology and corrected and pointed out the mistakes for the old comrade's article.
1998 On the 100th birthday of Premier Zhou, Han Fuyu went to Huai'an again to participate in activities commemorating Premier Zhou, and gave a speech at schools and factories in Huai'an, continuing to spread Premier Zhou's deeds and spirit to people.
Han Fuyu and others
Han Fuyu will let the daffodils he planted bloom on January 8 every year, and he will also place the blooming daffodils neatly and watch them quietly.
He said that on the day he was guarding Premier Zhou, he saw 6 pots of daffodils placed in front of the Prime Minister's portrait, which were white and pure, just like the Prime Minister's character.
So, he will let the daffodils he planted bloom on the day of Premier Zhou’s death on January 8 to commemorate the immortal Premier Zhou in his heart.
