In August 1945, Chairman Mao went to Chongqing to negotiate . In addition to meeting with Chiang Kai-shek, he also met many celebrities from all walks of life in Chongqing, greatly promoting the policies of our party.
Among them, the meeting between Chairman Mao and Donald was regarded as a hot topic by the media at that time, causing quite a stir.
So, who is this Donner? Why did he receive such great attention when he met Chairman Mao?
Donna was originally named Ma Jizong, also known as Ma Jiliang. He was born in 1914 in a big family in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. He received a good education since childhood. When he grew up, he was admitted to St. John's University, a famous Shanghai school, and was an active member of the school's theater troupe.
Donner's thoughts were also very progressive. He joined the Communist Youth League very early, and later transferred to the Communist Party and followed Pan Hannian to engage in underground work.
Donald is famous for writing film reviews. He often writes film reviews with "Donald" as his pseudonym, and publishes them in newspapers such as " Application " and "News News". With his sharp and unique insights, he has become a famous film critic, screenwriter and actor in Shanghai.
It was in Shanghai that Donald met Jiang Qing, who was still named Lan Ping at that time.
In 1935, Lan Ping entered people's vision for her role in the drama "Nara". After watching the drama, Donald wrote a comment praising Lan Ping as a dazzling new star.
Donald's position in the Shanghai film critics industry was extraordinary. His high evaluation immediately doubled Lan Ping's net worth and his popularity rose rapidly.
One is a famous film critic and screenwriter, and the other is a popular star. In the colorful world of Shanghai, the two soon got together and staged a drama of talented men and beautiful women.
On April 26, 1936, Tangner and Lan Ping, Zhao Dan, and Ye Luqian, Gu Yi and Du Xiaojuan, three newlyweds held a wedding in Liuhe Tower, Hangzhou. Zheng Junli and Shen Junru were the host of ceremonies and witnesses respectively. This wedding became a famous story and became a good story in Shanghai.
However, the marriage between Donner and Lan Ping was not harmonious. After marriage, the two often quarreled, which eventually turned into the "Tang Lan marriage change", and officially divorced in May 1937.
After the outbreak of the full-scale anti-Japanese war, Donald became a war correspondent for " Ta Kung Pao ", and wrote the drama "Long Live China", which caused a sensation when it was staged in Wuhan. Later, he went to Chongqing to serve as the editor-in-chief of " Wenhui Po ", and became a heavyweight in the Chongqing news industry.
And Lan Ping also went to Yan'an in 1937 and changed her name to Jiang Qing, becoming Chairman Mao's wife.
In August 1945, after the full war of resistance ended, Chiang Kai-shek invited Chairman Mao to Chongqing for negotiations. Chairman Mao was glad to go to Chongqing with Zhou Enlai, Wang Ruofei and others.
A few days later, Lan Ping used the excuse of tooth pain and wanted to go to Chongqing to treat the disease. Chairman Mao initially disagreed, but Lan Ping repeatedly insisted, so Chairman Mao had to agree, but stipulated that Lan Ping could not show up in public in Chongqing.
After Lan Ping arrived in Chongqing, she lived at Zhang Zhizhong's home. When she learned that Donald was also in Chongqing, she wrote a letter to him, wanting to meet him. However, Donner did not reply.
At this moment, Zhang Zhizhong held a banquet to entertain Chairman Mao and invited many celebrities from all walks of life in Chongqing. As an important figure in the press, Tangner was also among the invitations.
At the banquet, when Donner met Chairman Mao, he felt a little nervous and a little embarrassed, so he didn't go over to say hello.
However, there are some good people who deliberately brought Chairman Mao to Donner to introduce the two to each other, hoping to create some gossip news.
After hearing the introduction, Chairman Mao did not have any surprise expression, but frankly extended his hand to Donald and said three words with a smile: "Harmony is the most important."
Donald also shook hands with Chairman Mao generously, no longer feeling embarrassed, and felt relieved.
The three words Chairman Mao said are actually a pun, which is not only a statement on family affairs, but also a statement on state affairs.
For Donner, "harmony is the most important" can be understood as Chairman Mao knew about his past events, but Chairman Mao had a broad mind and did not mind at all, and peace is the most important.
For the Kuomintang present, "peace is the most important" is also advising them to cherish the hard-won peace and strive to have a satisfactory result in this negotiation.
For Chairman Mao, Donald's appearance was just a small episode. Whether it was intentional arrangements or encounters by some people, he would not be distracted by it. He easily resolved this storm with the sentence "harmony is the most important", and also left those with ulterior motives empty.
When Donald recalled this incident, he admired Chairman Mao very much, saying that Chairman Mao’s wisdom was extraordinary and impressed him very deeply.
