At the end of June 2009, it was early summer, and Beijing was as sunny as ever.
At around 8:30 in the morning of the 26th, the provincial and municipal leaders of Helong, who came to Helong's home in Beijing in advance, and the heads of the Ministry of Public Security and other leaders stood quietly in the living room, silently admiring the very conspicuous Chinese painting , which was still hanging on the wall. He Longyin on the scroll has a smile as before, as if she has never walked away.
at 9 o'clock, and the funeral transfer ceremony officially approved by the central government will begin.
He Long's second daughter He Xiaoming carefully picked up the He Long's urn that had been taken out of Babaoshan and had been in the family for 3 years. Under the auspices of his mother Xue Ming, he slowly sent it out of the living room. Outside the door of
, the funeral soldiers who had been waiting for a long time escorted He Long's ashes to board a medium-sized bus with long spears. Immediately afterwards, all the vehicles parked downstairs of He Long's house drove towards Beijing Airport one after another with the minibus.
special planes are on the apron, and He Long's relatives support the elderly Xue Ming and sit down in the front cabin in turn; in the back cabin, the children of He Long's comrades during his lifetime are all growing up and becoming talents as their ancestors expected, and putting their efforts and strength into the motherland. Now most of them have left the front line, carrying the ranks of lieutenant general and major general, and are as outstanding talents as their ancestors.
About an hour later, the special plane gradually took off and flew to the distant sky. Since entering Beijing in 1953, He Long, who has been "staying in" the capital for 56 years, has left this city that brought him glory and twists and turns, and returned to his hometown that he had missed for half his life and had not seen in half his life, and was buried in the water and soil he was attached to.
After more than 2 hours, the special plane successfully landed in Zhangjiajie Airport . Xue Ming accompanied He Long's ashes to walk down the gangway and checked into the local hotel.
The next day was still a sunny day. Everyone woke up before 8 o'clock, and after breakfast, they gathered at the door to persuade 93-year-old Xue Ming that the mountain road was winding and far away, so it would be better to "send" to the hotel entrance.
Seeing that the scene was a little chaotic, Liu Jing, who was in charge of the funeral, immediately told him everywhere, saying that according to He Long's hometown custom, his husband had to be funeral and his wife could only be sent to the door. As soon as the episode 0 came out, everyone was relieved. Looking at He Long's little girl He Liming holding the portrait of his father in his hand, the second daughter He Xiaoming carefully held the He Long urn covered with the party flag. Under the escort of two soldiers holding real guns and live ammunition, they walked towards He Long Park at the foot of Emperor Tianzi Mountain with the adjut He Jiesheng and the junior of the He family.
There are green mountains and clear waters and the environment is elegant, which is the most familiar scenery of He Long. At 10 o'clock in the morning, the salute and sorrow sounded. After a collective silence, He Xiaoming personally took He Long's urn and walked to the bronze statue on the front of He Long, and gently placed his father's ashes into the tomb deep in the cement board.
From then on, He Long will always sleep here, accompanying the birds singing in the mountain stream, and will no longer feel lonely and lonely.
01. A close call for half a century: their intercourse started with Nanchang Uprising , starting with a short poem
One day in 2011, He Long's eldest daughter He Jiesheng wrote an article to miss her father, revealing a past about He Long and Premier Zhou.
As we all know, Premier Zhou and He Long met in midsummer of 1927. One evening in July that year, Premier Zhou, accompanied by Zhou Yiqun, came to Wuchang and met He Long, who was stationed here, for the first time in his life.
They had a great time talking. Premier Zhou patiently analyzed the current situation to He Long and told the CCP’s propositions on the political situation, which made He Long’s mood suddenly clear, laying the groundwork for the two who had been sincere in their decades in the future.
But He Jiesheng said that the opportunity of "warming friendship" between his father and Premier Zhou is related to a short poem.
Turn back to the 1950s. One day, He Long was idle and chatted with his daughter He Jiesheng about his friendship with Premier Zhou. He suddenly asked He Jiesheng a strange question: "Do you know Zhang Fengru?"
He Jiesheng racked his brains and did not answer.
He Long looked at his daughter's slightly embarrassed expression and laughed "haha" and said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's normal for you not to know. I don't know him very much. I only know that he is an old man in the Republic of China. He is very backbone and knowledgeable. He once published a poem called "Injury Current Affairs" in a newspaper. It is well written, so you can find it to read it."
He Jiesheng was immediately attracted by his father. returned to the Peking University campus, immediately found the modern history teacher for advice, and then went into the library. It took a lot of effort to find the seven-character poem from the old materials.
Looking at the time of the publication of the poem, He Jiesheng's mind flashed. He immediately thought of the past when his father held two kitchen knives and started the revolution with 12 brothers at the end of the same year. He couldn't help but wonder, Is it a coincidence that his father, who has a low level of education, specially mentioned this poem?
He Jiesheng didn't believe it, so he "digated" more deeply about Zhang Fengru's information. Successfully found another familiar name: Zhang Fengru's student Zhou Enlai.
She copied the poem and went home to show it to He Long. He Long nodded and told He Jiesheng that the "task" was only half completed; the other half was to find the seven-character poem written by Premier Zhou at that time.
He Jiesheng followed the trajectory of Premier Zhou's youth activities and completed the "task" assigned to her again by He Long.
What surprised He Jiesheng was that this poem by Premier Zhou was published in the same magazine at the same time as Zhang Fengru, and the rhythm was the same as that of Zhang Fengru's poem, which was the same as that of Zhang Fengru's poem. It can be said to be in line with the same lineage and the "soul".
But The only difference is that in Premier Zhou expressed disdain and contempt to Zhang Xun in his poem, and his intention and dialectical vision were higher than Zhang Yuru. showed the strong momentum of "a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger" that belonged to the great man.
He Jiesheng once again copied a poem and took it back to his father to show it. He Long nodded with satisfaction and told He Jiesheng a past event.
that happened after the Nanchang Uprising, because on the way south, he was outnumbered and forced to accept the "failed" ending. originally tens of thousands of teams were separated, and He Long suddenly became the "poor commander".
Premier Zhou was worried that He Long could not bear the huge blow He Long was dedicated to the two of them, and talked to him about his revolutionary journey and calm analysis of the future China. He chanted the two poems to He Long on the spot, saying that He Long remembered deeply and had never forgotten them in his life.
8 years later, with the support of Zhu De, He Long led the reorganized revolutionary troops to join the Long March team.
1949, on the day of the founding ceremony of the New China, He Long and Premier Zhou stood side by side on the Tiananmen Gate Tower to review the troops.
When the neat team of soldiers slowly walked through Chang'an Street , He Long suddenly quietly walked to Premier Zhou and asked him softly if he still remembered the poem he read to him that year?
Prince Zhou's eyes immediately moistened, turned his head to look at He Long, and cursed: "You are so beautiful, how could I forget?"
Just at this moment, the masses were excited because of the military parade scene. In the cheers like tsunami, He Long laughed "haha" and said: "To this day, the reactionaries are really 'the sound of insects can't be smelled'!"
Prince Zhou also laughed happily, "Refute" He Long said: "No, today is 'a rooster' is white'!"
02. Try to ensure that the close friend parted forever: Until the end of his life, he was always waiting for his old friend to pick him up as promised. In 1953, He Long was transferred to the central government to work; at the end of 1956, as the Vice Premier, he followed Premier Zhou to start the visit to the Eurasian 11 countries, and the whole process lasted 75 days. is the longest time to go hand in hand since they parted in 1928. They still cooperated well, making the visit work a complete success.
In January 1957, Premier Zhou, He Long and his group came to the last stop of this trip Colombo . A few days later, Premier Zhou and He Long went to Colombo Independence Square to attend the Sri Lanka 4th anniversary celebration of independence.
Just as Premier Zhou was speaking, it suddenly rained heavily, and the rain gradually wet his clothes along the tips of the Prime Minister's hair. A staff member stepped forward to hand over the umbrella, but was rejected by the Prime Minister. He Long, who was sitting on the rostrum, also did not take an umbrella with the rain, but continued to listen to the Prime Minister's speech with his back.
The two of them are the correct style of Chinese soldiers, which moved the people in Sri Lanka. people ran out of the rain shelter, stood back in the rain and listened to Premier Zhou's speech, and kept replying to Premier Zhou with warm applause.
Zhou and He two ancestors won the respect of the Sri Lankan people with their actions and let the whole world understand the sincere attitude of New China to friendly exchanges with countries around the world.
In the summer of 1966, He Long's home in Dongjiaomin Lane gradually lost peace. He Long and his wife, who were already in poor health, were often disturbed inexplicably and were very painful. After Premier Zhou learned about it, he immediately arranged relevant personnel to assist He Long and his wife in moving into their new home on Wanshou Road to avoid the limelight.
But even so, He Long and his wife's lives have not returned to peace; at the beginning of the following year, Premier Zhou took action again to protect his close friends. He packed up a place in West Flower Hall , and took advantage of the night to send someone to pick up He Long and his wife into Zhongnanhai for temporary residence.
During those days in the West Flower Hall, He Long witnessed the Prime Minister's hard work with his own eyes every day and felt sorry for the Prime Minister's work that was reversed day and night. often sat alone on the windowsill and lying on the windowsill waiting for the Prime Minister to return.
In the early morning of the cold and cold weather, the elderly Premier Zhou walked out of the car tremblingly, and He Long felt very uncomfortable. He was worried about his friend's health, and he also "hate" that he could not share the worries of Premier Zhou, and gradually became anxious.
Premier Zhou has always been meticulous and found that He Long's mood has changed. He often visits He Long and chats with He Long to relieve He Long's anxiety during work.
Sometimes, he knew that it was difficult to find the rest time, so he asked the staff to put his meals in He Long's room and use his short meal time to talk to He Long.
He Long felt more and more guilty towards Premier Zhou.
One day in mid-to-late January of the same year, Premier Zhou suddenly called He Long and told He Long that he wanted to transfer He Long to a quiet place. He Long might be unaccustomed to living, but over time, he would definitely get used to it a little bit. If He Long lacks anything, you can tell him that he hopes He Long can rest there for some time.
He Long immediately felt unspeakable and uncomfortable. He looked at his friend's increasingly thin body and could not say anything he refused.
Premier Zhou saw He Long’s worries, held He Long’s hand, and told him firmly: "Don’t worry, I will pick you up, and we will meet again soon! Don’t worry about family affairs, I will have me in everything."
In the early morning of the next day, the night still enveloped the sky. Under the arrangement of Premier Zhou, He Long took a car to Xiangshan. It was indeed a very quiet place, isolated from the world, and only the beautiful scenery was accompanied by He Long and his wife.
Every day, He Long would think of Premier Zhou's words and look forward to Premier Zhou's arrival. When the leaves turn yellow and when autumn comes, He Long's mood becomes uneasy again. He must read newspapers every day and see Premier Zhou's reports to calm down a little.
At that time, He Long and Premier Zhou didn’t know that their farewell at the West Flower Hall was their farewell in this life. In the days ahead, they never had the chance to meet each other again.
03. He sent you to your husband with illness and bowed in violation of the rules: He was seriously ill and ignored the obstruction of medical staff, and insisted on going to the scene to send his old friend the last journey
at the end of the same year, news that Premier Zhou lost He Long and his wife.
In 1969, He Long, who was seriously ill, died alone; two years later, Premier Zhou learned about He Long's death from others and was extremely sad. He tried his best to help He Long's wife reunite with He Long's children.
In early June 1975, receiving instructions from the central government, relevant personnel formed the He Long funeral committee and began to prepare for He Long's funeral.
A few days later, Liu Zhenjie and others came to He Long's home to discuss He Long's ashes with Xue Ming and other issues. They agreed that the wreath could only be delivered by their immediate relatives, and those who stood in the watchful position to shake hands with the leader to thank the leader were He Long's wife, children and others.
A few days later, Liu Zhenjie printed out the work permit, invitations, etc. for funeral service, and went to Babaoshan to check the situation in person.
On the 7th of the same month, the funeral team held a meeting in Babaoshan to determine the funeral plan; Xue Ming did not raise too many objections, but only hoped to replace the urn, and asked the funeral team to repeatedly confirm that He Long's ashes were correct.
2 days later, it is the day when the dragon dies, and it is also the day when the ashes are buried. In the afternoon of the same day, 10 minutes before the ceremony officially began, Premier Zhou, who had been seriously ill in , despite the obstruction of medical staff, came to Babaoshan to see He Long for the last time, regardless of the obstruction of medical staff.
He went to the first lounge to meet Ye Jianying. As soon as Ye Jianying saw the Prime Minister, he hurriedly met him, held the Prime Minister's hands, and asked why the Prime Minister was here? A huge mourning appeared on Premier Zhou's tired face, and he replied in a low voice: "I'm sorry to President He, how can I not come now?" After
html, Premier Zhou went to Xue Ming's second lounge again. As soon as he entered the door, Xue Ming rushed to Premier Zhou as if he had seen his relatives, grabbed Premier Zhou's sleeve, choked and called the "Prime Minister", and burst into tears.Premier Zhou's eyes were also wet. He held Xue Ming back and said: "I'm late... I'm late..."
. While Premier Zhou was resting, the funeral team held an emergency meeting and temporarily changed the procedures. The eulogy was delivered by Deng Xiaoping and Premier Zhou personally.
Because he came in a hurry, Premier Zhou did not bring reading glasses , so he had to borrow a pair from Xinhua News Agency reporters on the spot. Ten minutes later, the Helong's ashes were placed on the ceremony. Premier Zhou finished his eulogy in his tone. Deng Xiaoping announced that the visitor would bow to He Long to express his grief: One bow... Two bow... Three bows...
But when people stood up after the ceremony, they were surprised to find that the elderly Prime Minister had not stood up straight, but continued to bow to He Long tremblely, silently telling him that the deep guilt of failing to protect He Long and bringing back He Long as promised.
Afterwards, most people agreed that the Prime Minister bowed to He Long 7 times in total, but He Long’s wife Xue Ming told others that she vaguely felt that the Prime Minister actually bowed to He Long 8 times, and seemed to symbolize the August 1st Nanchang Uprising that Premier Zhou and He Long participated together. After the ceremony, He Long's urn was placed in Babao Mountain and he slept with many comrades and colleagues for a long time. Until 2006, Xue Ming and He Long's children and relatives moved his ashes to bury the hometown He Long cared for.
