Anyone who has a detailed understanding of Chairman Mao’s life should know Li Yinqiao . Li Yinqiao has been with Chairman Mao for 15 years and is the one who has been with him the longest time among Chairman Mao’s guards. He has witnessed his work and life, and has also inherited his spirit.
Li Yinqiao was born in Hengshui, Hebei in 1927. He was sent to Wudang Mountain by his family since he was a child, where he learned a lot of skills. Since he had good martial arts, he naturally needed to have a place to use his skills. So he joined the army at the age of 11 and became a small correspondent soldier. Later, by chance, Zhou Enlai discovered his special talents and kept him as a guard.
Li Yinqiao did a good job, and Zhou Enlai often praised him. Therefore, when Chairman Mao was missing a guard, he immediately thought of Li Yinqiao around him. However, when Ye Zilong and Wang Dongxing called him to the office to talk about work transfer, Li Yinqiao was a little unhappy. Even if it was a very honorable thing to be Chairman Mao’s guard, his ideal of coming out to join the army was to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. He even thought of going to the front line, so he said, "Protecting Chairman Mao's safety is a big deal. I am worried that I can't do it well, so I'd better transfer me to the front line."
Ye Zilong heard about it and comforted him, "You did a good job when you stay by Zhou Enlai. You must have confidence in yourself." Li Yinqiao pondered for a while, and finally agreed.
Just now came to such a big man, Li Yinqiao didn't know how to get along with him. In addition, Chairman Mao had too many business and was very busy. They had never said a word for several days. Until one evening, Li Yinqiao followed Chairman Mao. Suddenly, Chairman Mao turned his head and chatted with him to inquire about his situation. It was not until this time that Li Yinqiao let go of his uneasiness. It turned out that the Chairman was such an approachable leader.
But this did not change his idea of going to the front line. When Chairman Mao asked him, "Are you willing to work by my side?" Li Yinqiao was very hesitant. He shouldn't have lie to the Chairman, but he was afraid that he would cause misunderstandings by telling the truth. So after a while, he put three words in his mouth: "I don't want to..."
Then he hurriedly explained: "It turns out that he can go to the front line to fight immediately, but he was suddenly transferred to the Chairman's side, which makes it even worse."
Chairman Mao smiled and said to him with a smile: " Let's take this step back. You are the chief guard of me, just be a half-year. "
Unexpectedly, after the half-year passed, Li Yinqiao really couldn't bear to leave. Chairman Mao also liked him very much. The two signed a "contract" for another half-year.
However, Chairman Mao attaches so much importance to Li Yinqiao, why don’t he let him visit the Soviet Union with him?
In fact, this matter is also related to Li Yinqiao's wife, Han Guixin. Chairman Mao was very kind to everyone around him and was also concerned about their study and life. Chairman Mao was a mediator of Li Yinqiao and Han Guixin. At that time, Han Guixin was taking care of Chairman Mao’s daughter Li Na, responsible for her diet and daily life, and therefore, she also dealt with Li Yinqiao. It just so happens that the two of them are of the same age and are in a good youth. After several contacts, they all secretly fell in love with each other, but because they were shy, they did not say it out loud.
The careful Chairman Mao discovered the strangeness of the two people and thought they were a perfect match, so he took the initiative to ask Li Yinqiao about his views on Han Guixin. Li Yinqiao did not hide it from it and expressed his affection for her. In the end, with Chairman Mao’s encouragement, the two of them achieved success.
In December 1949, Stalin invited the central leaders to visit Moscow to discuss diplomatic matters. Chairman Mao also agreed and prepared to leave. However, after the follow-up travel list for came out, Li Yinqiao's name was crossed out .
Li Yinqiao was very puzzled about this, so he went to ask Chairman Mao why. Chairman Mao said, " Xiao Han just finished giving birth and needed your care. This time you don't have to accompany me. There are still opportunities in the future. " After listening to it, Li Yinqiao was very moved, so he followed the instructions to take care of his wife Han Guixin.
1962, because of the "simplification of military and government" incident, a large number of staff around Chairman Mao were transferred away, including Li Yinqiao, who had been with him for 15 years.
Before leaving, he came to Chairman Mao’s bedside to say goodbye to him, both of them were very sad. After so many years of getting along, they are already like relatives, so it is very sad to think of parting. Chairman Mao also repeatedly instructed him to deal with the masses more after going to the grassroots level, think about the people in everything, and remember to come back to see him every year. After , he gave Li Yinqiao a few hundred yuan in settlement fee, so that he could go to Tianjin with confidence.
Li Yinqiao did not disappoint Chairman Mao's high expectations. After arriving in Tianjin, he got along with the masses, went to various places for inspection in person, wrote many reports and handed them to Chairman Mao. At the same time, he also put forward some practical policies to do his best to build the motherland. Chairman Mao was very satisfied with him.
In addition, Li Yinqiao would visit the old man in Beijing every year without any resistance. Until Chairman Mao passed away, he would go to the memorial hall to pay tribute to . Every time he saw his body, Li Yinqiao would think of that time and couldn't help crying frequently.
On September 22, 2009, Li Yinqiao died of illness at the age of 82. Today, although these two have passed away, their stories are still circulating, and the spirit that keeps them will last forever!
