Preface

"Wang Fang, your name sounds quite special, like a woman, why don't you change your name and change it to a square square."

"Mr. Luo's words make sense, I think it's OK." Wang Fang said.

"That won't work. Listen to me, you must not change it. After finally, Shandong has a little grass, how can you pull it off!" The chairman of couldn't help laughing out loud after he said that.

This incident happened during Chairman Mao's inspection in Hangzhou, and the defender of the chairman's inspection throughout was actually a Shandong man named Wang Fang.

1. From elementary school teacher to provincial public security director

1920, Wang Fang was born in a small village in Xintai, Shandong. His parents were hardworking and frugal, and the family lived a colorful life. Although

is not rich, the basic life of the family of three can still be guaranteed. It is precisely because of the wealthy family that Wang Fang has become one of the few children in the area who can go to school.

Wang Fang has been studying in school since he was a child. Of course, he also knew that his family's conditions were not as good as those who were truly rich, so he studied hard in school and wanted to change the fate of himself and his family.

As Wang Fang grew up little by little, his study life in school was about to end. Just after he graduated from high school at the age of 17, he successfully taught in a local primary school and became a teacher.

Had a formal job just at the age of 17, and even a decent career as a teacher, Wang Fang's parents could raise their heads in the village, but Wang Fang was not satisfied.

Wang Fang has received new education since she was a child, learning new ideas and new cultures, and patriotism has penetrated into her mind.

When he heard that the three northeastern provinces fell and saw Shandong Peninsula fell into dire straits, he was no longer willing to be a teacher with no power. He wanted to join the army, go to the battlefield, and do his part for the motherland.

" July 7 Incident " broke out, the Japanese army invaded China in full swing. At that time, Wang Fang had just worked in the school for less than a month, and he had not even recognized all the students.

Faced with national hatred and family hatred, Wang Fang resolutely gave up his teacher job and joined the local Eighth Route Army with more than ten partners. Since then, he embarked on the road of revolution.

Due to the war, few new recruits who joined the army have read books. Therefore, Wang Fang, who graduated from junior high school, became the main training target for his superiors.

During several battles, Wang Fang was flexible and had a good idea of ​​combat strategy, so he was recommended by his superiors for training.

Three months later, Wang Fang, who was undergoing key training, returned to the team successfully and was appointed as the chief of the anti-traitor section of the Fourth Detachment of the Shandong Column of the Eighth Route Army, responsible for the most important anti-traitor work in combat behind enemy lines.

At that time, many Japanese spies and Kuomintang spies secretly sneaked into the Eighth Route Army, stealing secrets, and waiting for an opportunity to provoke unrest in the army.

In order to avoid risks as soon as possible, the anti-traitor team needs to eliminate them. Of course, in addition to spies from all parties, some traitors are also the targets of the anti-traitor team to eliminate them.

Because Wang Fang is brave and resourceful, after becoming the chief of the anti-traitor team, he actively led the team members to conduct tactical training and investigated spies and traitors in the jurisdiction. Once verified, he immediately led the team members to carry out anti-traitor activities.

Under the leadership of Wang Fang, the anti-traitor department has gained a lot of gains. Many traitors died under the guns of the anti-traitor team members. For a time, Wang Fang's name became a legend in Shandong.

At the same time, Wang Fang's anti-traitorous action also attracted the attention of the Japanese military. In order to remove Wang Fang's nail, the Japanese military even issued a reward order, but Wang Fang hid perfectly under the cover of the people of Shandong.

With the advent of the War of Liberation, Wang Fang made great achievements in the battles of Menglianggu, Huaihai Battle and other battles.

After the founding of New China, Wang Fang was sent to Hangzhou to serve as director of the Public Security Bureau and director of the Zhejiang Provincial Public Security Department.

Wang Fang, who worked in the local area, worked diligently, but at that time, Wang Fang must have thought that she could actually protect the Chairman 38 times.

2. Name change storm

As the saying goes, "There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below." The scenery of Hangzhou is pleasant and obvious to all. Chairman Mao also likes Hangzhou very much. Therefore, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chairman Mao visited Hangzhou more than 40 times.

Wang Fang, who was the director of the Zhejiang Provincial Public Security Department at that time, was naturally responsible for the Chairman's guard work during his time in Hangzhou, and was even once called Chairman Mao's "big guard".

On the eve of New Year's Day in 1954, it was Chairman Mao's first visit to Hangzhou, mainly to concentrate on drafting the first constitution of China.

As Chairman Mao’s special train slowly drove into Hangzhou Railway Station, Wang Fang, as the director of the Zhejiang Provincial Public Security Department, has a heavier responsibility on his shoulders. He needs to ensure the Chairman’s personal safety during his stay in Hangzhou. For this reason, he specially arranged the Chairman’s residence in Wangzhuang, , Xizi Lakeside, .

Wangzhuang is close to the shore of Xizi Lake. It has pleasant scenery and is far away from the city. It is easy to deploy defense and is very suitable for Chairman Mao and other central leaders. After Chairman

and his group settled down, it soon came on December 26, 1953, which was Chairman Mao’s 60th birthday.

Chairman Mao has always been frugal. He opposed his people around him to celebrate his birthday, whether in war or in peace.

Usually in Zhongnanhai , every time it is his birthday, the kitchen can only add a bowl of longevity noodles to him, and the rest of the dishes are rejected by the chairman. He always maintains his true nature of hard work and simplicity.

But even so, the staff around the chairman did not forget the chairman's birthday. After arriving in Hangzhou, the staff simply set up two birthday banquets in the small restaurant in Wangzhuang under the name of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee as the chairman.

is the dishes at the birthday party, but the Hunan cuisine that the chairman usually eats, especially the chili fried pork is the chairman's favorite. In addition, in order to take care of the tastes of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, a few more local side dishes from Hangzhou were added.

Under Chairman Mao’s special arrangement, Wang Fang, who is in charge of Chairman’s security, was lucky enough to sit at the same table with the Chairman.

In Wang Fang's impression, Chairman Mao's image has always been serious and serious. Unexpectedly, after sitting at the same table, Wang Fang was deeply attracted by the Chairman's personal charm, and the friendly and charismatic Chairman was more approachable.

Since it was a banquet, it must be inseparable from drinking. With the help of drinking, everyone at the banquet was not so nervous and began to relax.

At this time, Luo Ruiqing, the Minister of Public Security at the main table, suddenly said to Wang Fang: "Wang Fang, I suggest you change your name, remove the fragrant Fang from the grass, and turn it into a square square, otherwise your name will look like a lesbian. Who would have thought that the name is a tall and powerful Shandong man."

When facing Luo Ruiqing's suggestion, Wang Fang was stunned. He did not expect that his idol actually cared about his name.

After thinking for a while, he replied: "Change the name, it's okay, but it requires the consent of the central government. After all, the signing of my appointment letter is Wang Fang."

Before Luo Ruiqing could answer, Chairman Mao said directly: "No, absolutely not!"

Then, the chairman put down the chopsticks in his hand and said: "Wang Fang, are you from Xintai, Shandong? "

"Yes, Chairman."

"How long has it been since you returned to your hometown?"

"Chairman, did you go back once before New China was established."

"Then has anyone in your family written to tell you about the greening in Shandong?"

"Then did your family also mention it when they wrote to you."

"Okay, just mention it." , the chairman smiled and continued to say : "The Shandong Peninsula has been wars for years, and the local people rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, which has led to the current natural vegetation coverage rate in Shandong that is only 5%. This is a very terrible thing. Many mountains in Shandong are still bare. As a Shandong native, you, Wang Fang, have just a little grass on your head, you have to get rid of this little grass. This is not possible. When will Shandong greening get better and better, and when will you remove the grass! "

Chairman's words completely made the serious people laugh, and even the Chairman himself couldn't help it, so the word "fang" never changed.

name change episode, Chairman Mao and others began to talk about the past and present again. Just when the dishes were about to leave, Chairman Mao saw that the wine in the glass of people was still full. Chairman Mao, who had always been frugal, would never allow such a thing to happen.

So the Chairman looked at Luo Ruiqing and asked : "The food was gone, my stomach was full, but the wine was still full. These were the blood and sweat of the people, the eldest son (the nickname of Luo Ruiqing), what do you think you should do? "

" Chairman, this matter is easy to deal with, I will just cover it. "

After saying this, Luo Ruiqing began to glance at the people on the table. In addition to the chairman, there were Deng Xiaoping and several secretary of the chairman. The blush on his face showed the fact that they were unable to drink. Suddenly, Luo Ruiqing saw a person and his face looked as usual. This was Wang Fang on the main table.

Luo Ruiqing said : "Wang Fang, among the people on the table, you are young, and you will complete this difficult task! "

After hearing Luo Ruiqing's words, Wang Fang was stunned again. The precious Moutai wine Wang Fang did not drink enough. When he was at the same table with the chairman, Wang Fang could only taste it briefly and did not dare to let go of the stomach.

Chairman Mao saw that Wang Fang didn't know what to do, so he said : "Wang Fang, if you can still put your stomach in, then let go of the stomach and drink it, and eliminate these glasses of wine. "

Hearing the Chairman's words, Wang Fang, who had always been generous, began to drink with great pleasure, one sip at a time, and in a blink of an eye, ten glasses of wine were eaten.

As Wang Fang entered his stomach with ten glasses of wine, Chairman Mao stood up and held Wang Fang's hand and said: "I really deserve to be a big man from Shandong, good! Good thing! "

Perhaps it was Wang Fang's heroic drinking method that left a deep impression on Chairman Mao. Chairman Mao also paid special attention to Wang Fang. The Chairman treated Wang Fang like the staff around him, saying everything and talking about anything. Wang Fang also no longer restrained and relaxed in front of the Chairman through this matter.

3. Criticized by the Chairman

The second day after the banquet, Chairman Mao was about to go out for a walk and specially asked Wang Fang to accompany him. In this way, Wang Fang accompanied the Chairman to Yunqi, starting from the entrance and going deeper.

Yunqi Environment was clear You, very suitable for walking and resting, and Yunqi has not carried out commercial development. It is usually a place where local people will go. Chairman Yunqi recommended by Wang Fang really likes it.

Chairman Mao just follows Wang Fang. The chairman stopped from time to time to look up at the mountain and see the green bamboo in the mountain. The road was uneven at that time and was very easy to fall. Moreover, the chairman was already sixty years old and was not young anymore, so Wang Fang paid special attention to the walking chairman.

Just when Wang Fang took the chairman forward, a pile of feces in the middle of the road attracted Wang Fang's attention. Wang Fang looked back and saw that the chairman was still walking, afraid that the chairman would step on the feces, so he reminded: "Chairman, be careful of the feces in front of him. "

Chairman Mao saw that Wang Fang was so careful in facing feces that he knew that he had definitely not done farm work or had not been put into the fields, so he said to him: "Then it seems that you have never planted the land! In the countryside, manure is a good thing. Farmers want to fight for manure when they see it. It is best to use it as fertilizer in the ground. With manure, crops will not have to worry about growing. When we first farmed, we sometimes had to sprinkle it on the ground with our hands, and we saw something we were afraid of stepping on the road.”

In order to the release of the first constitution of New China, Chairman Mao often approved and revised the relevant drafts of the Constitution every day. Therefore, for the health of the Chairman, the staff often suggested that the Chairman go out to relax, and when the Chairman goes out, they were accompanied by Wang Fang.

Although the New China had been established at that time, the domestic situation was not stable. Many Kuomintang spies sneaked into the mainland, intending to carry out assassination and other activities to disrupt the normal social order. In order to ensure the safety of the Chairman, Wang Fang deliberately set up controls on the places where the Chairman might pass, and even investigated and reminded the surrounding villagers to ensure that there was no mistake.

Picture | Chairman Mao climbed the North Peak

This time during this trip to Hangzhou, Chairman Mao climbed the North Peak three times.

Chairman Mao took his nephew Mao Yuanxin and his daughter Li Min when he first climbed the North Peak. At that time, the two children were still young. He felt very novel when he saw the North Peak at Tianzhu Temple. It is said that the interpretation of the hexagrams in the temple was particularly effective, so he quarreled and wanted to go to the temple to see it.

Chairman Mao smiled helplessly at the idea of ​​his nephew and daughter's children and said: "You can go if you want to go. In a few years, the construction of socialist in will be deeper, and you will not see these. The experience is also good now. "

Because the scenery of the North Peak is deep and the heart of the Chairman, a few days later, the Chairman climbed the North Peak again, but this time the mountain climbed a little late. When it was time to go down the mountain, the smoke from every household was curling. The Chairman wanted to go to the farmers' house to chat and visit the people's sentiments, but each family was closed. In desperation, the Chairman and his group had to rest temporarily under the big tree at the entrance of the village at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, a big rooster suddenly jumped out of the nearby people's house. This chicken was probably also a free-range farmer. He often strolls in the village and was not afraid of people at all. Facing the sudden appearance of the rooster, Chairman Mao said to Wang Fang: " Director Wang, you can control people, but you can't control chickens. Look, the big roosters are all welcoming us! "

Although Chairman Mao's tactful criticism attracted Wang Fang's attention, he could only do his best to protect the safety of the Chairman. Wang Fang no longer cared about whether it was hindering the Chairman's visit to the people's conditions.

Chairman Mao climbed the North Peak for the third time in March. At that time, the scenery in Hangzhou was just right, and many pedestrians were walking and playing on the North Peak. When Wang Fang learned that the Chairman was going to climb the North Peak again, he immediately went to the North Peak. Tourists and pedestrians on the mountaineering were arranged. In order to avoid the sultry heat during the mountaineering, the Chairman specially brought a palm fan to fan the wind. The Chairman did not see a crowd during this mountaineering trip, which made him very unhappy. The Chairman did not say a word along the way. After going down the mountain, the Chairman wrote "Five-character Look at the Mountain". The poem

apparently praised the beautiful scenery of the North Peak, but one of them was to criticize the actions of leaving the masses in the work of the guards. For .

Hangzhou has many peaks. In addition to the North Peak, Chairman Mao is also very interested in Yuhuang Mountain .

Yuhuang Mountain is high and steep. Wang Fang saw that the Chairman did not ride the slide pole when climbing the North Peak, because he was afraid that the Chairman would be tired when climbing the Jade Emperor Mountain, so that he could After a while, Wang Fang quietly transferred two horses from the army, hoping that the Chairman could ride the horse to the mountain.

When the Chairman climbed Yuhuang Mountain, he saw that there were two horses after the group. After learning the details, he immediately ordered Wang Fang to return the horses and said: "If you are tired of climbing the mountain, you should rest for a while, climb the mountain slowly, ride a horse, and sit in a sedan chair. This will let the people see how bad the impact is. We are the public servants of the people, not the landlords and old wealth. ”

There is a Jade Emperor Palace on Jade Emperor Mountain. The chairman looked at the realistic statues in the hall and asked Wang Fang, " Wang Fang, do you know who these statues are carved? ”

In the face of the Chairman’s inquiry, Wang Fang said the names of the statues worshipped on the main hall without thinking, which attracted the Chairman’s praise.

In addition to climbing the mountain, the Chairman also likes to walk around the suburbs of Hangzhou.

Once, after Chairman Mao went to the suburbs to visit, he saw the winding paths of Jiangnan Road and was particularly fond of it, so he got off the car and took a walk along the path. Unfortunately, the rain fell heavily and the chairman was still walking slowly on the road. This made Wang Fang very anxious. In desperation, Wang Fang and the chairman's guards walked to a farmer's home on the side of the road, one left and one right to take shelter from the rain.

When they entered the house, they found that there was only one old man in the house weaving bamboo baskets, and the chair the old man was sitting on was the only one in the house. Wang Fang felt sorry for the Chairman's fatigue and said to the old man: "Old man, please lend your chair..."

Before Wang Fang could finish speaking, the chairman immediately stopped him. In this way, Chairman Mao, Wang Fang and others stood by the door and chatted with the old man.

Not long after, the rain stopped. The road was slippery on the rainy day. Wang Fang was holding the chairman tightly. The chairman criticized: " Why are you so undisciplined? Can you say that?"

In the face of the chairman's criticism, Wang Fang humbly accepted it and corrected it seriously.

As the chairman visited Hangzhou again, he unexpectedly had an accident on the special train.

In the autumn of 1955, when the Chairman's special train was about to arrive in Hangzhou, the glass of the special train suddenly burst. The guards immediately conducted reconnaissance and found that someone threw sharp objects similar to bullets, stones and other sharp objects onto the fast-moving train.

Faced with this situation, it proves that the Chairman's safety is not absolutely guaranteed, and Zhejiang is the "old nest" of Chiang Kai-shek. Many spies lurk in Zhejiang. In order to ensure the Chairman's safety, this special train attack attracted great attention from the Ministry of Public Security of the Central Committee. In order to find out the truth, Wang Fang, as the director of the Zhejiang Provincial Public Security Department, has no choice but to do so.

With the support of Wang Fang, the case was quickly solved, and this was taken as a warning to ensure the safety of the Chairman's special train.

Chairman's days in Hangzhou soon passed. Since then, Wang Fang will visit Chairman Mao whenever he goes to Beijing.

Chairman Mao also values ​​Wang Fang like his relatives. Every time Wang Fang goes to Zhongnanhai, Chairman Mao will chat with him for a long time. Seeing Wang Fang change and make progress little by little, the Chairman was so happy.

Just as Wang Fang was about to leave, Chairman Mao specifically called him and said, " You want to leave, I won't keep you anymore. You are busy with work and I have nothing else to give to you. I know you like drinking. I have a few bottles of Moutai here, I will give it to you."

In the face of the Chairman's gift, Wang Fang was very grateful. He was not polite and directly used his pocket to bring the ten bottles of Moutai given by the Chairman back to the residence of Beijing Hotel .

1974, Chairman Mao, who was over 80 years old, was still worried about the sick Wang Fang, and specifically told Li Yinqiao : "You go and tell Wang Fang that he is in poor health, drink less alcohol. If you drink less alcohol, you will be healthy..."

1987, Wang Fang was appointed Minister of Public Security. Later, due to physical reasons, he asked the central government to resign from his position as Minister of Public Security. In the second year, he was approved by the central government and officially retired in 1993.

Conclusion

Because of alcohol content, the Chairman was concerned about the Chairman and his ability was appreciated by the Chairman. The Chairman once said, "When will the forest coverage rate in Shandong be improved, and when will the grass on his head be picked?" However, the Chairman did not see that Shandong's forests were densely covered, and the grass on Wang Fang's head was not picked.
