In front of Chairman Mao's hospital bed, the busy figure of nursing staff always flashes. They methodically put the great leader of the Republic on a respirator and took his pulse and blood pressure.
At this time, it is less than 1 day before Chairman Mao's life comes to an end!
At 4: 37 pm, Chairman Mao, who had been ill for half an hour, suddenly held out his hand and motioned for the staff to come over. The staff quickly leaned down and waited for instructions.
I saw this calm nurse's face changed greatly after listening to Chairman Mao's instructions. After whispering a few words with the other two nurses, she hurriedly disappeared at the door of the ward.
Soon, several related leaders came to Chairman Mao's ward.
Chairman Mao hopes to return to Shaoshan Chongdrip Cave before he leaves.
This is Chairman Mao's instruction, and it will soon become Chairman Mao's only last wish. This stumped the staff on the side, scratching their heads and being at a loss.
It's not a long distance from Zhongnanhai in Beijing to Shaoshanchong in Hunan. In fact, distance is not the main reason why the staff are puzzled. What they don't understand is whether Chairman Mao's physical condition can support him to go through a rough journey.
A difficult task is a difficult task, and the request made by the chairman is an instruction, which must be carried out.
Just as the central leadership has discussed and made corresponding arrangements for going south, there was a short riot in Chairman Mao's ward, and Chairman Mao's life was dying!
That night 12, 10, Chairman Mao closed his eyes forever and passed away. In the end, Chairman Mao failed to return to the drip hole as he wished.
The drip hole is not a drip hole, but a small canyon surrounded by mountains on three sides. The environment here is beautiful, the air is fresh, flowers and plants are wild, birds and insects are singing, just like a paradise.
Because the geographical location of Dishuidong is relatively remote, and the people who lived here in those years were poor, there is a famous saying in the local area:
Of course, Shaoshanchong's remoteness is one thing, but Chairman Mao's grandparents didn't think so at that time. They specially invited Mr. Feng Shui to see this place. After reading 1 1 day, I finally come to the conclusion that Shaoshanchong is a treasure trove of geomantic omen.
In Chairman Mao's father Mao Yichang's generation, because there was not enough arable land, and his father was a restless man, he didn't care whether the geomantic omen in Drip Cave was good or not. What he valued was that the land here was good and suitable for farming, so he settled here.
1June 25th, 959, it was the first time that Chairman Mao went home after he took office as Chairman of People's Republic of China (PRC).
From the moment he got off the jeep, he stood at the door of the car for a long time without moving a step, just quietly looking around, staring blankly at a distant hill from time to time, with vicissitudes of life and expectation in his eyes, where Chairman Mao's parents were buried.
"Still the same! Nothing has changed ... "Chairman Mao muttered as he watched it, as if childhood memories and fetters came to mind at this moment.
At dawn the next day, Chairman Mao got up and walked to the back hill alone.
"wake up! Wake up! "
"What's the matter?" The logistics staff in charge of Chairman Mao's daily life rubbed their eyes and looked at the reception staff who broke into the house.
"Chairman Mao is gone!" The staff at the reception desk responded quickly.
The logistics staff turned over in high spirits, dressed in a panic and left the hostel before they could button up. For him, Chairman Mao's sudden "disappearance" is a great event!
After being questioned by the logistics staff all the way, he finally found Chairman Mao on the hill that Chairman Mao had neglected before.
"Did you find this?" Chairman Mao slowly looked back at the logistics staff who came forward with a smile.
"Chairman, it's all my negligence. I thought you got up 10 like in Beijing, so ... "The logistics man who wiped his mouth stood there straight, as if he had made a mistake, ready to accept criticism. At this time, he was still gasping for air.
"Ha ha, I don't blame you for this. I went to bed early last night, so I woke up early. I thought you were still sleeping and came out by yourself. " When Chairman Mao was speaking, he turned to pay attention to two swollen weeds.
The logistics staff saw the chairman standing there empty-handed, looked around and saw a few pine trees not far away. He picked some branches and handed them to Chairman Mao.
"Chairman, the trip was in a hurry, so ..." The logistics staff didn't know that Chairman Mao would visit his parents before, so they didn't prepare any sacrifices.
"Ha ha, I didn't mean to say that. Standing here is very satisfying. It's better to be simple. " Chairman Mao took the pine branch and immediately made three bows at his parents' grave.
"The predecessors worked hard and the descendants were happy." Chairman Mao almost choked at his parents' grave.
In Chairman Mao's impression, his father Mao Yichang had a bad temper and was not good to himself. He always lets himself do farm work. In the eyes of his father, young Mao Zedong is a lazy, useless, rebellious and unfilial person.
Therefore, the relationship between Mao Zedong and his father is not very good, and it can even be described as "bad".
Mother, and father Mao Yichang, the opposite. Wen is a devout Buddhist, gentle and kind.
Mao Yichang often skimps on children's daily needs and even forbids them to eat one more egg. At this time, his mother Wen Chong became a "peacemaker" and carefully maintained their father-son relationship.
Nevertheless, young Mao Zedong still can't understand his father's behavior and practice from the deep heart, and the relationship between father and son has always been an inseparable knot for him.
Just like going home this time, he misses his mother far more than his father.
"More than 30 years! I left here because I wanted to go out and see the outside world, not because I was born and died in this ravine like my ancestors! " Chairman Mao looked at his father's grave and sighed silently.
"Chairman, do you want me to clean up the vegetation here?" The logistics staff pointed to the grave and the thatched grass around one person.
"That's it, let's keep it the same!" After bowing, Chairman Mao refused the kindness of the logistics staff.
The whole process of worship seems simple, but it is full of the infinite affection of the great leader.
On the way back, I was walking, and suddenly a farm nearby caught the attention of Chairman Mao.
"Go, go and have a look!" Chairman Mao said hello to the logistics staff behind him, and the logistics staff didn't ask much. He should have a cry and quickly followed.
When Chairman Mao and the logistics staff entered the farmyard, they found no one except a few poultry.
"Hey, we came at a bad time. Xia Sheng should go to work in the fields! " Chairman Mao jokingly said to the logistics staff who looked around.
The farm in front of us is the home of the man named Xia Sheng in Chairman Mao's mouth.
"Chairman, let's go back to the hostel first, and I'll accompany you when the host comes back?"
"Don't worry, it's not easy to come back. Stay here. " Chairman Mao didn't mean to leave, as he spoke, he walked to the vegetable garden at the head of the farm house.
"oh! Come to the guests! " Just as Chairman Mao was talking to the logistics staff in the yard, a man on the head of the field not far away shouted and ran towards this side.
When I got closer, I saw that the man was barefoot, his feet were covered with mud and weeds, and he looked at the "uninvited guest" in his yard stupidly. At the same time, he repeatedly rubbed his hands on his shorts without saying a word.
"Xia Sheng, do you still recognize me?" Chairman Mao spoke first.
"remember! You are our chairman. " Mao Xiasheng moved a chair to let Chairman Mao sit down and giggled.
After Chairman Mao sat down, Mao Xiasheng seemed a little embarrassed.
"Come, sit together!" Chairman Mao greeted Mao Xiasheng and took out a cigarette. By the way, he gave Mao Xiasheng a point.
Mao Xiasheng saw that Chairman Mao not only gave himself a cigarette, but also lit it for himself. His hands trembled at once. He doesn't cooperate, and neither does he. It was hard to decide at that time.
Seeing this, Chairman Mao quickly patted Mao Xiasheng on the shoulder and said, "What are you nervous about?" ? In the old society, ordinary people were afraid of officials. What are they afraid of now? I used to come to your house when I was a child! "
Seeing Chairman Mao say this, Mao Xiasheng realized that he was a stranger and Mao Zedong was so approachable. In the old society, it is unthinkable to be on an equal footing with state leaders!
After returning to the guest house for lunch, the staff prepared to arrange for Chairman Mao to take a nap, but Chairman Mao waved his hand and said that he would go swimming in the reservoir.
As we all know, Chairman Mao likes swimming.
At that time, Zhou, the first secretary of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee, was also among the entourage.
In early summer, the water temperature in Shaoshanchong Reservoir was still a little cold, but this did not affect Chairman Mao's enthusiasm at all.
After swimming for a long time, Chairman Mao finally went ashore, simply put on his coat and farsighted. Facing his hometown after 32 years' absence, Chairman Mao was filled with emotion.
Looking at the grass and trees in his hometown and breathing the unique fragrance of his hometown, he couldn't help but get lost in thought.
"Chairman, you haven't come home for so many years. Shaoshanchong and Hunan people all miss you! " Zhou, the first secretary of Hunan Provincial Committee standing by, suddenly said:
"oh? Ha ha ha ha! Yes! After all, I grew up here! " Chairman Mao recovered from meditation and said, "Comrade Zhou, your provincial party committee will study it and build some toilets here. Other leaders can come to the meeting or have a rest! I want to come back to live when I am old. "
"Ha ha, yes! Yes! " Zhou Lianlian replied, and at the same time sideways motioned the secretary to record it quickly.
In the second year after Chairman Mao returned to Beijing, the Dishuidong renovation project was quickly listed as a key project by the local provincial party committee. The project was named "Project 203" and was completed in 1962. 1964 was officially put into reception for the central leaders.
1June, 966, Chairman Mao returned to Shaoshan Dripping Cave again. This year, Chairman Mao was 73 years old.
Going home this time is a little different from last time. First, the last time I went back to my hometown, there were public things in it, and this time I kept it a secret. Secondly, the last time I went back to my hometown, the drip cave was the same as when Chairman Mao lived. The drip hole project has been completed for almost two years, and the living conditions have been greatly improved.
One day in June, when Chairman Mao just got off the bus and came to the gate of the drip hole, he was already sweating like a pig, but as soon as he entered the drip hole, he felt that the whole person immediately cooled down.
Chairman Mao couldn't help laughing and saying to the staff around him, "This cave is half natural and half artificial. I'm afraid it cost a lot of money? " Be sure to protect it! "
Later, Chairman Mao walked around the drip hole with great interest before he came to the rest place.
Although Chairman Mao's return to his hometown was kept secret, it was seen by the daughter of Mao Jisheng, secretary of the Party Committee of Shaoshan Commune, at the moment when Chairman Mao just got off the bus.
The staff in Dishuidong soon learned of the exposure of Chairman Mao's whereabouts, so they immediately sent people to Mao Jisheng's home to find out the situation and told Mao Jisheng's family, especially his daughter, not to spread it around and to keep it secret.
Therefore, the news that Chairman Mao quietly returned to his hometown this time was temporarily suppressed.
Although Chairman Mao was 73 years old at that time, his physical fitness was still relatively good, so this swimming trip to Shaoshanchong Reservoir was arranged by Chairman Mao.
Maybe he is old and tired, maybe he has been wandering for a long time. Chairman Mao stayed in Dishuidong this time 12 days!
On the day he left, Chairman Mao, reminded by the administrator Liao, was reluctant to look at the drip hole for a long time before he came to his senses. Chairman Mao held Liao's hand tightly and said, "You must look after the house and I will come back!" " "Listening to the earnest entrustment of Chairman Mao, looking at Chairman Mao's trembling hands, Liao Shiyu nodded solemnly.
Nevertheless, Chairman Mao stood still, quietly looking at the drip hole and the surrounding trees, room by room. He didn't want to leave for a long time, and his eyes were full of special feelings that he couldn't give up.
In the end, Chairman Mao got on the bus and left the drip hole, which was a lifetime. Chairman Mao never returned to the drip hole. ...
1September 8, 976, Chairman Mao was seriously ill. In the early morning, waves of nursing staff tirelessly took care of Chairman Mao in Zhongnanhai ward. Nevertheless, Chairman Mao proposed to visit Shaoshan Drip Cave in the afternoon. Although the staff refused at first, but looking at Chairman Mao's weak, almost pleading eyes, everyone relented and cried.
In this way, Chairman Mao's mission to the south has been arranged almost, and the plane has been arranged. Even the leaders of Hunan and the staff of Dripping Cave made corresponding preparations, but at this moment, a message that everyone didn't want to hear came from Zhongnanhai: Chairman Mao closed his eyes forever and left us.
Chairman Mao's cherished trip to Drip Cave failed to come true. This is not only the personal regret of Chairman Mao, but also the regret of all those who care about Chairman Mao Didi Dong.
Drip Cave is not as prosperous as Beijing, but it is the first stop of Chairman Mao's original dream. People in China pay attention to the roots of fallen leaves. Chairman Mao is a great man, a great man and a wizard who attracts the attention of the whole country. But at the same time, he is also an ordinary person, and he also has his own feelings about home and country.
The people of Sri Lanka have passed away, and only the times will not go away. With this article, I want to remember our great leader Chairman Mao!
