On June 25, 1959, Chairman Mao, who had been away from his hometown for 32 years, returned to his hometown in Shaoshan. The villagers enthusiastically wanted to welcome the Chairman and celebrate his wanderer who made great contributions to the country. However, after learning the news, Chairman Mao immediately decided to invite the villagers to dinner.
Chairman deeply felt that he had been away from home for many years and the villagers had a lot of care for his family. He always remembered this kindness in his heart. So the next night, he invited the villagers in the restaurant in Building 1, Songshan, and the chairman and staff asked him to pay for the treat.
Chairman Mao’s youth
It turned out that after Chairman Mao left his hometown for the revolution, he organized armed uprisings across the country, which made him hate him to the core and use all kinds of despicable means.
From the Agrarian Revolution period, to the Long March 2 period, and then to the Anti-Japanese War, the Communist Party team led by Chairman Mao made rapid progress and defeated many of the Kuomintang Chiang Kai-shek's political conspiracies. Although the Kuomintang army's repeated failures on the battlefield made Chiang Kai-shek realize the strength of the Communist Party and Chairman Mao, he always believed that the failure on the battlefield was not that he could not fight.
What is Chiang Kai-shek's opinion?

superstitious Chiang Kai-shek attributed the victory of the Communist Party and Chairman Mao to the Feng Shui of Chairman Mao’s ancestral tomb. So after a series of struggles, the crazy Chiang Kai-shek sent troops to dig up the ancestral grave of Chairman Mao’s house three times. Although Chairman Mao was very angry when he found out, he was out of reach and could not stop him.
The ancestral tomb of Chairman Mao’s house is located next to the Water Drop Cave. After hearing the wind, the Mao clan and fellow villagers in Shaoshan made full preparations early. They lifted the tombstones of the ancestral tombstones into the ground, pushed the tombs flattened, covered them with turf, completely covering up the ancestral tombs of Chairman Mao’s house.
In the end, the Kuomintang army returned in vain and dug up some graves of old landlords to go back to deal with their errands. In this way, the Kuomintang's three grave digging operations ended in failure. The kindness of the villagers is remembered in my heart, and this is the so-called debt of favor.
Chairman Mao
00 years ago, the villagers were a little unfamiliar with Chairman Mao, and now they are the top presidents of the country, so naturally there is some estrangement, so everyone was very reserved at the beginning. When Chairman Mao saw this situation, the scene at the beginning happened, So who is this guest who cannot be invited?
In fact, local villagers all know the reason. There is a custom in Chairman Mao’s hometown. In order to allow young children to grow up safely, their families will ask their children to worship a realistic image of " Shi Guanyin " as their godmother. The locals also call her "Shi Ganniang" , and the guests that the chairman cannot invite is naturally "Shi Ganniang".

Because of Chairman Mao's humor, the atmosphere during the meal gradually improved, and the villagers took their seats one after another. They also started to talk to Chairman Mao, telling about his longing for many years and the interesting things that Chairman Mao was still at home when he was young.
Chairman Mao invited the villagers in his hometown and talked about interesting stories during the meal. How did he treat his fellow villagers in his hometown, who has become the President of the People?
Chairman Mao returned to his hometown where he was still farewell, and this day is also an unforgettable day for the people of Shaoshan. Thirty-two years after leaving his hometown, Chairman Mao finally came back. How could the people of Shaoshan not be excited?
When they learned about Chairman Mao’s return, the villagers ran around and told each other, conveying this joy to each other. Soon, news of Chairman Mao’s return spread throughout the quiet small mountain village of Shaoshan Chong .

Chairman Mao asked someone to find the commune secretary. After the commune secretary came, he held Chairman Mao's hand excitedly and said: "When I went to see you on behalf of the people of my hometown in 1954, you said you wanted to go back to Shaoshan to see you. The villagers were waiting day and night, and you are finally back!"
Chairman Mao talked with the commune secretary for a long time, asked about the situation in his hometown, and said: "I have been away from my hometown for decades. I want to invite the villagers to dinner. Please inform me." also said while counting his fingers. There were Chairman Mao's relatives, cousins, martyrs from Shaoshan Chong, and old underground party members. He just said the names and counted more than 40 people.

After the meal started, Chairman Mao was very interested. He held a wine glass and toasted table by table. There are eight tables in total, and no one is missing. When toasting Mao Yuju, Mao Yuju was very excited and stood up and said: "How dare the Chairman toast?" Chairman Mao replied: "Respect the elderly and respect the virtuous, it should be!"
Although many years have passed, Chairman Mao has not forgotten the teacher's kindness to teach him, nor has he forgotten the help and care for him and his family when he was away. Everyone saw Chairman Mao’s concern and enthusiasm for the people in his hometown, and everyone remembered the Chairman’s respect and love for everyone.
This time, the banquet was held by the villagers in my hometown. The dishes on the table were all farm dishes with Shaoshan flavor. Chairman Mao also said that after decades of leaving, I owe a lot of favor debts. Today I invite you to have a simple meal, and I hope you don’t dislike the food.

How can you dislike it? This is the supreme glory. Although Chairman Mao has been away for decades and is now the President of the People's Republic of China, he has never forgotten his hometown and the people of his hometown!

Chairman Mao returned to Shaoshan to entertain the villagers. During this period, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion when visiting his hometown. So what else did the Chairman do in his hometown?
After the founding of New China , Chairman Mao had no chance to go back to his hometown Shaoshan to take a look due to busy work. But every time someone from his hometown comes to Beijing, he would warmly invite guests from his hometown to sit and chat, and invite them to have a meal.
And as we grow older, this homesickness becomes stronger.
June 25, 1959, this is a day that the people of Shaoshan will never forget.
The quiet mountain village became lively as Chairman Mao came back. The villagers rushed to Chairman Mao, wanting to shake hands with Chairman Mao and chat for a few words. Chairman Mao's face was filled with a happy smile after getting off the car. He had been away from his hometown for thirty-two years. When he came back, he could still see the familiar scenes in his memory and some familiar people in his memory.

These scenes and people have appeared countless times in his homesick dreams.
He started talking with his fellow villagers, and walked and stopped along the way. Whenever he saw someone familiar, he could make the chairman happy for a long time. Afterwards, the chairman asked the staff to find the commune secretary and team leader to ask about the situation in their hometown, ask the villagers if they can have enough food, how many kilograms of grain can be collected per acre of land now, and other topics of people's livelihood.
I haven't returned to my hometown for thirty-two years. When my parents passed away, the Chairman was unable to perform filial piety in front of them. Now that I'm back, how can I not go and take a look?
Early the next morning, Chairman Mao got up. He wanted to go to his parents' grave to check. The staff called the commune secretary to lead the way. When he arrived at his parents' grave, Chairman Mao looked at the short little earthbow in front of him and didn't speak for a long time. Seeing that the staff did not bring any memorial items, they broke a handful of pine branches from the pine tree next to them and handed them to the Chairman's hand.

Chairman Mao put the pine circle in front of his parents' grave and bowed deeply three times. He said to the staff around him: "We Communists are not superstitious, but the parents who gave birth to me cannot forget them!"
staff asked the chairman if he wanted to repair the grave. The chairman shook his head and said: "Don't repair it, just keep it the same. Every year, you can cultivate soil on your behalf."
After going down the mountain, he went back to his former residence to take a look.
The furnishings of the former residence were still the same as when I left. Chairman Mao walked around and looked at it, and from time to time he touched his familiar and unfamiliar items with his hands. After leaving the former residence, many villagers gathered outside who welcomed Chairman Mao. Chairman Mao happily waved to everyone, and the villagers rushed to shake hands with Chairman Mao. finally took a photo with the enthusiastic villagers in front of the door.

When leaving Shaoshan, the villagers who came to see each other at followed Chairman Mao's convoy and refused to leave for a long time until they could not see the shadow of the convoy.
Chairman Mao sighed for a long time and proposed to get off the car and take a walk. So he got off the car and walked in front of the car. The villagers who were seeing each other farewell waved to the chairman. It was not until more than 40 minutes later that the chairman got in the car and left his hometown again.

Chairman Mao has spent his whole life seeking happiness for the people and dedicated everything to the revolutionary cause. But no matter how great a person is, he is flesh and blood, and he will be timid in his hometown. After leaving home for so many years, his homesickness is no less than that of ordinary people. However, for the sake of the motherland and the people, he had to bid farewell to his hometown and embark on a great and glorious revolutionary path.
