On the morning of June 9, 1975, the ashes laying ceremony of Comrade He Long was ready, and the final farewell is coming. In the central area of the auditorium, He Long's ashes were lying quietly there, majestic, solemn, and insufferable.
The flag of the Communist Party of China is covered with the ashes of this great historical man, and his portrait is hung in front of him in the hall without any deviation. Everything shows our infinite respect for Comrade He. Above the auditorium, "Comrade He Long's ashes laying ceremony" and , the big characters are straight to the eyes, and the last consolation for the deceased in the "special period" begins here. Since then, all the leaders of the Communist Party of China who died as a result of injuries have held ashes laying ceremonies in Babaoshan.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, the comrades of who attended the ceremony came to one after another. Most of these people were comrades and partners who were born and died with He Long, and there are also many younger generations who admire him.
In any case, mourning is the only thing that people alive can do, but in the heart of Premier Zhou, who He Long believes most, there are mixed flavors, and more should be guilt.
Many old comrades were assisted into the hall due to inconvenient legs and feet. In view of the fact that Premier Zhou was already hospitalized, participating in the placement ceremony would aggravate his condition and did not invite him to attend.
However, before the ceremony began, Premier Zhou informed the organizer that he would be there soon. The crowd immediately talked about it. It was a great relief that the Prime Minister came to see Mr. He off. At the same time, Premier Zhou is on his way.
Premier Zhou's arrival
He arrived, with black gauze on his left arm when he got out of the car. The prime minister, who had not appeared in front of the public for a long time due to illness, became skinny and his face looked very sallow. He was distressed when he worked his whole life.
silently walked to the signing desk, Premier Zhou strenuously picked up the brush with his injured right hand, leaned on the table, and wrote his own name. After seeing the distorted words, the Premier said, "Poorly written , It’s not well written."
said and shook his head. Premier Zhou, who used to handle everything in an orderly manner, is now unable to write well. It seems to symbolize the powerlessness he had hoped to hold He Long. hand. After
received the eulogy in Ye Jianying's hand, Premier Zhou sat on the sofa and tried to correct it word by word. This is the final evaluation of a person in his life. It is already late to come. How can he treat him badly now?
Suddenly the Premier raised his head and asked: "Is Comrade Xue Ming (Mrs. He Long) coming? I'll see her." After
saw Xue Ming, who had been waiting in the second room for a long time, the Premier was full of tears and looked at him. Xue Ming was crying bitterly, his lips trembled, and he whispered: "Sorry, I'm late, I'm late."
Then the ceremony began, and a 70-year-old man choked and made a deep hoarse in front of everyone. Voice, the glory of the past has faded, time has left indelible painful memories. After the
eulogy, Deng Gong announced to bow and bid farewell to Comrade He Long, "one bow, two bows, three bows, stand up", people raised their bodies, but Premier Zhou was still bowing, and finally a total of seven bows .
time seemed to have stopped at that time, only He Long and Premier Zhou looked at each other, reminiscing about the past. The helplessness in the story behind
The story behind the seven bows of
may have to start from the beginning of He Long's damage. From the very beginning, He Long was targeted, but the attitude of Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou was obvious and they wanted to keep him.
As one of the top ten marshals of the founding of the country, He Long, has always been a straight child and has a very good relationship, especially in the process of getting along with Premier Zhou, the two have become friends of irreverence. In a special period, Premier Zhou tried his best to protect He Long and spoke to him many times to resolve the social controversy.
But as Lin Shuai and others became more and more frantic, the voice of "Down with He Long" became louder and louder. , Prime Minister Zhou could no longer respond effectively to this matter under pressure from all parties, and could only rely on Mao. The chairman's persistence barely retained He Long.
However, the two leaders were not able to take care of everything in that turbulent era. In many cases, stability of the overall situation is a top priority.
In 1966, due to the rapid deterioration of the internal situation, He Long’s situation changedIt's very difficult . As Dongjiaomin Lane was pirated several times, the hostile faction kept entangled day and night, and He Longdong hid in Tibet and had nowhere to settle. After
learned of this situation, Premier Zhou suggested that he should suspend everything and seek refuge in his own home, and said to the He Long family: "I will take care of the things at home." Such protection also created a "special period" period. A tale of Premier Zhou "The towering tree protects the Yinghua". During the staying time after
, Premier Zhou and his wife of cared for He Long and his wife to , hoping to take good care of the He Long family in life.
But Premier Zhou did not communicate with He Long as much as before. After all, during that sensitive period, everything had to wait for the dust to settle before continuing to explore.
He Long, who regards the Prime Minister as a close friend or even an admirer, has been baffled by the outside world. He has a lot of grievances and bitterness in his heart and hopes to confide in those who believe in him. However, the evasive attitude adopted by Premier Zhou made him feel a little disappointed.
Indeed, He Long has been looking forward to the opportunity to appeal and has never been given , but Premier Zhou is not only a friend of He Long’s, but also the prime minister of a country.
After Chairman Mao changed his attitude, He Long’s situation was in precarious condition. Under Lin’s pressure, Premier Zhou and Li Fuchun had a conversation with He Long on the afternoon of January 19, 1967.
He told He Long, "Lin Shuai thinks that you want to spread rumors about his historical problems behind your back, and you intervene in various generals and troops, and do not promote Chairman Mao's thought..." He Long couldn't help but express his hope to defend. But all failed. After issuing an order to deal with it, Premier Zhou said: "We are all on your side. Let me find a place for you first, take a rest first, and wait until autumn I will pick you up."
That's it, 8 that night At this point, He Long and his wife Xue Ming left Premier Zhou’s home, their journey unclear. Maybe Premier Zhou and He Long didn't expect that this trip would be a farewell.
When he first arrived in Xiangbigou, Premier Zhou always sent Yang Dezhong to visit to make sure He Long was okay, but after Lin found the hiding place of He Long and his wife, he secretly transferred them. From then on, Premier Zhou told He Long. The news of is interrupted, and this close friend can no longer be protected.
The long-term mental and physical injuries made He Long weaker and weaker. On June 9, 1969, He Long died of injustice. The body was cremated and news was blocked.
It was not until Lin defected that Premier Zhou learned that He Long had passed away for two years, and the grief in his heart was the wound he could not scab in his life. At the farewell ceremony,
saw that the appearance of Mrs. He Long, Xue Ming, changed drastically, and Premier Zhou also understood some of the pain during the "reconstruction" .
thinks of He Long, who has a strong personality, sinks his heart every day to practice calligraphy, keeps learning, and waits for the picture that one day he can be taken home.
The feeling of guilt spontaneously in the heart of Premier Zhou is beyond words, after all, no matter what you do, it will not help. The seven bows and the revision of the eulogy may be the best expression of this guilt, but it is a pity that Mr. He, who was once motivated, can never see it again.
In the most lonely and helpless days of life , He Long is looking forward to the "autumn" promised by Premier Zhou, just like the dry earth is looking forward to the rain, but in the end the leaves are slowly turning yellow, and the light in He Long's eyes is gradually Disappear until dim.
There are very few laws of the two nations in the world. I am afraid that the only remaining people can do is prevent history from repeating itself, and pay tribute to all the heroes in history who have suffered injustice.
