On September 9, 1976, the great leader of the Republic, Chairman Mao, who was beloved by the Party and the people, passed away. After the news came out, the whole country was sad. Hua Guofeng immediately convened a meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee to discuss the burial and memorial service of Chairman Mao’s body after his death. During the meeting, the members of the Politburo had two different opinions on Chairman Mao's body

1: Cremation is implemented in accordance with the previous initiative

2: Permanently preserved for future generations to pay

In the meeting, the members of the Politburo had a fierce quarrel over these two opinions. Wu Xujun, the head nurse of the Chairman, said first: " Chairman Mao repeatedly explained during his lifetime that cremation should be implemented. " But the party and the people The people have a deep longing for Chairman Mao, so at the meeting, Hua Guofeng decided to adopt the second opinion: "The body of Chairman must be preserved for a long time for future generations to pay "

So, Hua Guofeng immediately called medical experts to let them properly preserve the body of the Chairman to prevent corruption. Therefore, he decided to urgently place the body of the Chairman in the "796 Protection Room " for protection after the farewell meeting of the Chairman's body. After the death of Chairman

, the Gang of Four began a conspiracy to seize the supreme power, and the domestic situation was unprecedentedly tense. When the Party and the country were facing a major crisis, Hua Guofeng and Ye Jianying decided to take the initiative. After rigorous decision-making, on October 6, 1976, under the leadership of Hua Guofeng and Ye Jianying, the Gang of Four was successfully crushed.

After the Gang of Four was crushed, Ye Jianying held a Politburo meeting in his residence, Yuquanshan, Beijing, and decided to establish the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall at the Politburo meeting. On the site selection of Memorial Hall , Hua Guofeng chose to build in Tiananmen Square , using People's Heroes Monument as the prologue. On October 8, 1976, the Central Committee officially issued a notice to build the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall.

After preparation work, on November 24, 1976, the foundation laying of Chairman Mao Memorial Hall officially began. Hua Guofeng attended the groundbreaking ceremony, delivered an important speech, and personally cultivated soil for the foundation stone of the memorial hall.

Guangda workers built the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall with grief. It took only half a year for Chairman Mao Memorial Hall to be successfully completed with high-quality specifications. In 1977, Chairman Mao's body officially entered the Memorial Hall for future generations to admire.

In 1980, Hua Guofeng resigned from his position as Premier of the State Council and then began his retirement life. After retirement, Hua Guofeng lived in seclusion and never asked about political affairs. However, on September 9 and December 26 every year, Hua Guofeng would go to Chairman Mao’s Memorial Hall to pay tribute to Chairman Mao’s body. In 2007, Hua Guofeng dragged his seriously ill body to visit Chairman Mao’s memorial hall for the last time. He said to his family who blocked him: “ This is the last time, and you ask me to talk to him again. ” Hua Guofeng came to the memorial hall and shouted a salute order in person: “ bowed one, bowed two, and bowed three to the great leader Chairman Mao. ”

Chairman Mao’s life experience was very tortuous. Chairman Mao’s life was a life of battle and a life of revolution. He has made very important contributions to the Party and the country, and Chairman Mao will be immortal!
