After the death of Ho Chi Minh , Vietnam rejected condolences from almost all countries, but only met Prime Minister Zhou. Why is he so valued by Vietnam? What kind of unknown story is there between Ho Chi Minh and Premier Zhou?
In fact, Ho Chi Minh and Premier Zhou were classmates, and Premier Zhou was even more life-saving to Ho Chi Minh. During the liberation period, Ho Chi Minh was imprisoned by the Kuomintang. It was Premier Zhou who tried every means to deal with the enemy and put pressure on the Kuomintang, and finally successfully rescued Ho Chi Minh. Since then, the two have maintained close contact.
After the 1960s, Ho Chi Minh's health was getting worse and worse. After hearing this, Premier Zhou personally selected the highest-level medical experts in China, went to , Hanoi, , many times to treat Ho Chi Minh's disease, and asked the medical team to report the situation of his friends in detail.
When Premier Zhou was listening to the report from the medical team, he learned that Ho Chi Minh wanted to eat Beijing roast duck, so he decided to inquire about the matter himself. Premier Zhou said that one roast duck is not enough to eat, and two are given, and sweet noodles sauce, green onions, shredded cucumbers, and pancakes and have to be delivered together. The key is to solve the transportation problem in the hot summer.
For this reason, Premier Zhou contacted relevant leaders and experts to discuss how to keep fresh. After several people's joint discussion, he finally decided to tightly package the roast duck and various supporting facilities, put them in an enamel bucket, and put special chemical powder around it, so that the temperature can be reduced to minus 30 degrees Celsius.
A month later, the medical team brought the roast duck carefully prepared by Premier Zhou back to Hanoi. Looking at the crispy and delicious roast duck, Ho Chi Minh was very moved. He gave one roast duck to the Chinese medical team and the other roasted duck for the party celebration in April, and invited the Chinese ambassador to Vietnam. The small enamel jar loaded with roast duck has been treasured by Secretary Ho Chi Minh for 30 years and later served as an exhibition of revolutionary cultural relics.
However, there were unexpected situations in the world. Due to the sudden change in the weather, the dean's return time was forced to delay until September 1 before returning to Beijing. Afterwards, Premier Zhou listened to the president's five-hour report, and then organized experts to discuss rescue measures overnight. Finally, Premier Zhou decided to organize an emergency team to rush to Hanoi with medicines and medical devices.
html At 9:00 am on September 2, the special plane slowly drove to the hospital on the other side of the Sino-Vietnam border. Ho Chi Minh started working early in the morning. After hearing the Prime Minister's instructions to report to him about being prepared for the National Day event, he told him to remember to set off fireworks for the masses. On this day, Ho Chi Minh was in high spirits and ate a large bowl of millet porridge. But not long after, Ho Chi Minh suddenly stopped his heartbeat and eventually died after failed rescue. The special plane that was about to arrive in Hanoi was ordered to return. After hearing the bad news, Premier Zhou was heartbroken and immediately decided to lead a delegation to pay his respects to Ho Chi Minh. On September 4, Premier Zhou hugged his head and cried when he saw the Vietnamese leader, and said sadly, although we were in a hurry, we were still too late and we were unable to see Chairman Hu for the last time. At that time, delegations from various countries came to investigate and were eager to pay homage to Chairman Ho Chi Minh's body. However, the Vietnamese government stated that they would preserve the body and would not pay homage to the forefront.Premier Zhou expressed his understanding after hearing this. He said emotionally that Chairman Hu had fought throughout his life, made immortal achievements for Vietnam, made great efforts for China-Vietnam relations, and made immeasurable contributions to the international proletariat. Although Chairman Hu has passed away, his spirit will always live in the hearts of the people of the world revolution.

Although Chairman Hu has passed away, his spirit will always live in the hearts of the people of the world revolution.The earnest and heartfelt words moved the Vietnamese leaders.
In view of the deep friendship between Ho Chi Minh and Prime Minister Zhou, the Vietnamese leader changed his mind after consultation and then secretly asked Prime Minister Zhou and Comrade Ye Jianying to go to the hospital to say goodbye to Ho Chi Minh's body the night before returning to China.
After Ho Chi Minh's death, Vietnamese medical staff immediately transferred Ho Chi Minh's body to 75 a. This is a newly built preservation center, including an anatomical room, medical devices and body parking, etc. The room temperature is maintained at 16 degrees Celsius and the humidity is around 75%, achieving absolute sterility. The entire project is extremely sturdy and able to withstand enemy bombings. It was completed in 1968 with the code name 75 a.
In fact, as early as the first half of 1969, when Ho Chi Minh's condition continued to deteriorate, Vietnamese leaders had already begun to consider Ho Chi Minh's funeral, and the focus was on the preservation of the body. At that time, the Vietnamese representative made three requests to the Soviet Union to help preserve Ho Chi Minh's body, help build the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, and help Vietnamese experts learn the technology of preserving the body. The Soviet Union responded positively to this.
On September 7, 1967, Vietnam sent three specialists to form a special medical team to the Soviet Union. They mainly learned how to soak and preserve bodies, studied the preservation techniques of bodies of elderly people over 60 years old, and applied them to practice. After a few months of hard work, the group students returned to China after completing their studies. Before leaving, the Soviet Union also sent three sets of related equipment and special equipment. So, because the Soviet Union was so enthusiastic about helping Vietnam, why did Vietnam just refuse to agree to transport Ho Chi Minh's body to the Soviet Union for preservation? After all, compared with the Soviet Union, Vietnam's body preservation experts are still far from the environment.
In fact, the reason why Vietnam disagreed was because there was a war in China at that time, the situation was turbulent, and unexpected situations were inevitable. Moreover, the journey is long and the temperature requirements are extremely strict during the transportation process. If there is ulceration, failure, etc., it will be difficult to save. Moreover, the people do not want their country's leaders to be transported to foreign countries. In order to unite the people to fight against the US imperialists, the government finally chose to use its country's limited manpower and material resources to preserve Ho Chi Minh's body.
Vietnam hopes that Soviet experts can help them preserve Ho Chi Minh's body at home and said that if the Soviet Union insists on transporting it away, they would rather cremate the president's body.
The tough attitude of the Vietnamese government and the people's feelings for the vice president forced the Soviet Union to compromise and promise to stay in Vietnam to help them complete the preservation of the remains. The Soviet representative immediately returned to the Soviet Union to bring the best medicines and devices in China back to Vietnam, leading Vietnamese experts to determine the plan, and first set a general direction. The body should not have ulceration, atrophy, or blackening. The use of medicine was exactly the same as before. Subsequently, the preservation of the remains officially began.
The task of the first phase is to clean the circulation system of the body, especially the eyes, nose, ears, mouth, fingers, toes and other parts that are easily blocked, so it is necessary to deal with it. Unexpectedly, Ho Chi Minh's microvascular vessels were very smooth, but in order to prevent malignant changes in the skin and muscles caused by local and transient blockage, experts still carried out comprehensive clearance of the body. The next task is to plastic surgery and shape the body.
Experts conducted repeated research and comparison based on thousands of photos of Ho Chi Minh during his lifetime, trying to make the characteristics of the body exactly the same as before his lifetime, so that those who came to pay tribute to Chairman Hu's appearance could not see any difference. With the joint efforts of experts from the Soviet Union and Vietnam, the preservation of remains has been done quite well. In Crystal Coffin , Ho Chi Min's face was rosy and his demeanor was peaceful. He should be clearly visible, just like he was asleep. But Vietnam knows that this is only temporary. If you want to preserve the body for a long time, the best way is to learn from the Soviet Union.
At that time, the Soviet Union had developed a set of the most mature preservation plan in the world as early as after Lenin's death. If the Soviet Union could contribute the plan, it would have a huge help in the preservation of Ho Chi Minh's body. Therefore, Vietnam hopes that its experts can master the core preservation technology of the Soviet Union and can be able to stand alone in the future to complete the preservation of the remains alone. However, Vietnamese experts did not dare to ask for a secret recipe. As we all know, this was the top secret of the Soviet Union and it was impossible for him to disclose it to other countries.Since Vietnam cannot get the secrets of the Soviet Union, how did he preserve Ho Chi Minh's body as the best in the world?
After the soldiers' continuous efforts day and night, they finally completed the code-name k84 three months after Ho Chi Minh's death. The next task was how to transfer Ho Chi Minh's body to k84 without any injuries. To this end, Soviet experts specifically reminded that when transferring, you must first put a water cup on the car as an indicator to observe whether the body is damaged. The distance between the water surface in the cup and the mouth of the cup is about three centimeters. The car must not let water splash out of the cup during driving. ; Secondly, it is necessary to ensure that the car reaches a sterile environment, temperature, humidity and other conditions must be in line with 75 a1; finally, the driving time cannot exceed four hours.
These conditions were extremely difficult for Vietnam at that time. The journey from 75 a to k 84 was 70 kilometers long and the journey was bumpy. Moreover, the war was everywhere at that time, so it was difficult to achieve a smooth transfer. So Vietnam thought of a way to put the crystal coffin in a large wooden box and install a spring under the box to slow down the bumps. In order to avoid accidents, Vietnam inspected the routes on the spot many times before the operation, repaired the pothole sections urgently, and blocked the entire section during the driving period.
Finally, after repeated discussions and weighing the pros and cons, Vietnam decided to transport Ho Chi Minh's body back to the capital's 75 a. I thought that transporting back 75 a was a perfect solution. At least the security environment in the capital was undoubtedly unquestionable. I never thought that I could stop man-made disasters, but I could not stop natural disasters.
In August 11971, floods broke out in the capital, and the rivers soared, facing the risk of being submerged, so Vietnam transported Ho Chi Minh's body back to K84. To avoid US air strikes, Vietnam deployed a company of troops around K84, and added three anti-aircraft guns and three tank guards. Even if heavy troops are deployed, Vietnam is still worried. If an enemy plane has another bomb , it can razed the K84 to the ground, and sending 100 tank guards is useless. Therefore, it is very necessary to find a safe place. After investigation by relevant experts, a base was finally built in a cave fifteen kilometers away from k84, code-named h 21. On December 15, 1972, Ho Chi Minh's body was parked at h 21.
In the following decades, Vietnamese experts continued to learn the knowledge of body preservation and developed the body preservation technology that belongs to their own country. Therefore, this is to make Ho Chi Minh's body come to life and become the most intact and ideal of all national leaders. The most important reason for this is that Ho Chi Minh devoted his life to the country and the people and won the heartfelt love of the people, so that the people are willing to devote all their financial resources, material resources and energy to preserve his body.
