Zhang Yufeng, born in Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang in 1944, has 8 brothers and sisters at home. She has lived in extremely difficult conditions since childhood. Her family has saved money and could only support her to study until she was 14 years old. After that, she took on the

On a summer afternoon in 1975, there was a quarrel in Chairman Mao's house.

only heard Chairman Mao shouting loudly: "Get out!" Another female voice responded with a higher voice: "Get out if you go out!"

How dare you ask what kind of woman has the courage to challenge Chairman Mao?

This woman is the chairman's confidential secretary and life secretary Ms. Zhang Yufeng. She walked all the way from a small town girl who had not graduated from junior high school to Chairman Mao, becoming the chairman's right-hand assistant, and wrote a legendary life of a woman who refused to admit defeat.

, born in ordinary origin but talented

Zhang Yufeng was born in Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang in 1944. She has 8 brothers and sisters at home. She has lived in extremely difficult conditions since childhood. Her family has saved money and could only support her to study until she was 14 years old. After that, she took on the important task of supporting her family.

By chance, Zhang Yufeng heard that the local railway bureau was recruiting workers. Zhang Yufeng, who was a newborn calf, excitedly signed up, and then went home nervously waiting for the results. God also favored this innocent girl. After a few days, she received a notice of employment from the railway.

Zhang Yufeng never dreamed that she would take her first step into a new world. She cherished this hard-won job opportunity very much, and took the lead in doing dirty and tiring work, and got along well with her leaders and colleagues around her. His two-year work has received unanimous praise from everyone and he was selected to work as a food truck waiter on Beijing special train. What's even more fortunately, due to Zhang Yufeng's excellent voice conditions, she also worked as a train announcer, a whole young man with a slash.

This girl seemed to have endless energy and endless potential to explore. Zhang Yufeng, who was thriving in her work, did not get lost because of her temporary achievements, but instead handled her daily affairs more conscientiously. After a period of observation and guidance, the leaders transferred her to Chairman Mao’s special train to work.

You can witness Chairman Mao’s style with your own eyes. This is the dream of many young men and women. Zhang Yufeng, who received the order, couldn't believe her eyes. After arriving at Chairman Mao’s special train, Zhang Yufeng realized that the special train had more than a dozen carriages, and the Chairman’s range of activities was limited, and staff like her rarely had the opportunity to meet Chairman Mao.

However, God was particularly pitying for her. Once, when the train was on the stand to rest, Chairman Mao came to the platform for a walk and rest, Zhang Yufeng had the opportunity to witness the style of a great man for the first time. She looked at the old man with gray hair but awesome figure in front of her, and she was in a daze for a moment. Unexpectedly, Chairman Mao also saw her cute expression.

Chairman stepped forward and asked her name, and Zhang Yufeng was nervously unable to speak. Fortunately, Wang Dongxing, who was by the Chairman, rescued the situation in time, alleviated the embarrassment. Like an ordinary elder, the Chairman took out a pen and pen to ask Zhang Yufeng to write down his name, "Bow long, jade of jade, phoenix of phoenix." The Chairman listened and wrote Zhang Yufeng's name on paper.

Soon the train stop time came, Chairman Mao returned to his carriage, and Zhang Yufeng also returned to his job. However, this encounter became a brilliant star in Zhang Yufeng's world. Whenever she thinks about it, she will smile with satisfaction. This is the supreme glory in her work career.

After that, Zhang Yufeng became more motivated, and her meticulous attitude at work deeply infected her colleagues around her. At this time, she could not have expected that this was just the beginning of her brilliant fate with the great leader.

One day after about 10 years, the train conductor called Zhang Yufeng, who was working, to Zhongnanhai . Zhang Yufeng obeyed the leader's arrangements and went to Zhongnanhai without thinking much. However, the one who received her was Chairman Mao's nurse Wu Xujun. Wu Xujun asked her straight to the point if she would like to be Chairman Mao's secretary to take care of her daily life.

Zhang Yufeng was excited and excited, holding Wu Xujun's hand and replied: " I am willing, I am willing! " In this way, the 26-year-old Zhang Yufeng became Chairman Mao's life secretary, which also started her 14 years of transformation in life with the great man.

Stubborn and opinionated

After Zhang Yufeng became Chairman Mao’s life secretary, she was as serious and meticulous as before the train affairs. She felt distressed and angry when she saw that Chairman Mao did not take her health seriously, but she could not convince Chairman Mao, so she had to sulk alone.

Chairman saw this and took the initiative to reconcile. Once, the chairman received a guest that Zhang Yufeng didn't like, and Zhang Yufeng, who was standing next to him, kept holding her face. After the guest left, Chairman was very dissatisfied and scolded him, and said anger: "If you want to do it, do it, leave if you don't do it." Zhang Yufeng directly replied: "If you want to leave, go, whoever doesn't leave is a puppy!"

Then, she packed her luggage and turned and left. After returning home, Zhang Yufeng began to reflect on what she did. The Chairman still had so many things to deal with, but he was so willful.

, and Chairman Mao is indeed inseparable from Zhang Yufeng, because only she is careful and can understand some of her actions and vague words.

0 days later, Chairman Mao sent someone to pick up Yufeng. As soon as the two met, Chairman Mao said happily: "This is the second time I entered the palace!" In this way, Zhang Yufeng, who was stubborn, forced the great man who had been through many battles to take the initiative to lower his head. It seems that all encounters in the world have a sense of mission.

Later, Zhang Yufeng helped the chairman solve several major problems with her patience and confidence.

The first problem is to quit smoking. Due to coughing all day long, the chairman was unable to sleep flat and could only lean on the sofa to keep his breathing smoothly. Seeing this, Zhang Yufeng sewed a special pillow so that the chairman could lean on it and sleep peacefully. Later, she secretly hid the cigarette box . When the chairman could not find the cigarette box and complained everywhere, she was not afraid, but instead advised the chairman to teach others about his words, such as: the body is the capital of revolution. In this way, with Zhang Yufeng's use of both soft and hard work, the Chairman quit his lifelong addiction to smoking.

The second problem is to facilitate the chairperson's cataract surgery.

Chairman Because of cataract , let alone reading books and newspapers, sometimes even people can’t see clearly. Premier Zhou wrote to Zhang Yufeng for this, hoping that she could accomplish this big thing at the right time.

After consulting the doctor's advice, Zhang Yufeng gradually improved Chairman Mao's body and met the surgical requirements. She took advantage of the opportunity of the Chairman's good mood to persuade the Chairman to complete the minor operation.

Sure enough, the operation was over 15 minutes later. After a period of careful care, the Chairman clearly saw this colorful world. Just when the Chairman thought he could devote himself to the revolutionary cause as before, Zhang Yufeng persuaded that he had just finished the operation, so he had to take it easy. Sometimes he even directly took away the documents from the old man's hands and forced him to rest.

It is also due to Zhang Yufeng's courage and meticulousness. She and the Chairman are like father and daughter, bringing a lot of comfort to the Chairman's later life.

Super strong lifelong learning ability

If you say that some trivial things on the train can be competent by diligence and cleverness. After becoming the life secretary of the chairman, some necessary nursing knowledge can be said to be Zhang Yufeng's knowledge blind spot. She was not afraid, but while taking care of the chairman, she learned nursing knowledge from scratch, and even consulted nurse experts, hoping that she could do her job in taking care of the chairman to perfection, and she did it.

So the chairman gave her greater trust and instructions. In 1973, the former secretary Xu Yefu was seriously ill and could not continue to serve the chairman. So the Chairman asked Zhang Yufeng to serve as life and confidential secretary.

Confidential secretary is not as good as a life secretary, it requires more professional ability and literacy. Zhang Yufeng responded nervously to the Chairman: "I'm afraid I can't do it well, so I'd better invite a more intelligent person to come." The Chairman calmly told her about the necessary qualities of a confidential secretary and made three rules with her.

1. As a confidential secretary, you can view the documents sent by the central government to Chairman Mao, but others are not allowed to view them without Chairman Mao’s permission, including other secretary and the wife and children of the chairman;
2. Pay attention to your identity and do not be proud at any time;
3. Be humble, cautious, learn more, and read more materials.

After listening to Chairman Mao’s teachings, Zhang Yufeng felt confident and started a new work career. She reads books, newspapers and documents for the chairman every day, but modern languages ​​are not bad. When faced with ancient books, Zhang Yufeng is in trouble. Not only is the meaning of the words difficult to understand, but there are also many rare words.

Zhang Yufeng had to invite a teacher named Lu Di from Peking University to read ancient Chinese specifically for the chairman. The studious Zhang Yufeng occasionally reads ancient Chinese to the chairman. What makes her gratified is that most ancient Chinese Chairman can memorize and guide her from time to time.

Under the influence of Mao Zedong, Zhang Yufeng also read a lot of ancient books, such as: "Farewell Fu", "Hate Fu", "Fu of Dead Trees"...

It was Zhang Yufeng's vigorous curiosity that made Chairman Mao entrust her with the important task at critical moments again and again. html, 1976, on September 9, Chairman Mao passed away. Before his death, he gave Zhang Yufeng the key to the private safe.

, and Zhang Yufeng has always adhered to her professional qualities. When the Chairman's wife asked to open the safe, she was not afraid of danger and responded calmly: "Everything left by the Chairman is the wealth of the Party and the country. If it is to be cleaned up, it must be approved by Chairman Hua." A few words show their professional qualities and revolutionary consciousness, and their calm mind can be seen.

After retirement, Zhang Yufeng picked up her calligraphy hobby. She remembered the Chairman’s teaching: if you like calligraphy, you have to find a teacher to start learning it slowly from regular script; you should write neatly first, then strangely, and then neatly - practice the rules of calligraphy.

Zhang Yufeng found a teacher after retirement and taught 3-4 classes a week. Now Zhang Yufeng has a high level of calligraphy skills. It seems that people who have obtained the true teachings of masters are really good at everything.

In addition, she also completed the editing of "Mao Zedong's Collection of Books" in 2007. After the series was completed, she lived in simplicity and never accepted public interviews again. It can be said that Zhang Yufeng's learning ability has run through her life.

Conclusion

From a small town girl to a train conductor, to the confidential secretary of the chairman, to returning to his ordinary life, Zhang Yufeng worked diligently at every stage and achieved the best state she could achieve.

When she was just a girl in a small town, she was determined to reduce the burden on her parents and change the family's difficulties, and for this reason she was willing to try all the possibilities.

After becoming a train conductor as she wished, she rushed to do dirty and tiring work, and soon stood out, which gave her the opportunity to work on Chairman Mao’s special train.

After becoming Chairman Mao’s life secretary, she did not give up every detail, paid attention to the Chairman’s living habits, learned nursing knowledge that she did not understand, and provided feasibility suggestions to those around her who took care of the Chairman, creating a peaceful environment for her later years.

After being recognized by Chairman Mao in all aspects, she became the confidential secretary of the chairman, and did not dare to relax at all. She read ancient books and read materials, and was not proficient in everything, and started from scratch.

The prosperity faded, she chose to return to the ordinary, fade out of the public's vision, practice calligraphy, organize the chairman's series of books, and plan her life in an orderly manner.

Rather than saying that God favors Zhang Yufeng, she herself has created this brilliant legendary life step by step.Today, in an impetuous society, we should draw more wisdom in life from such predecessors and contribute our strength to the great mountains and rivers won by the martyrs with their passion.
