Chapter 58 May 7 Zhou Enlai and He Long

After He Long and I got married in 1942, we kept listening to him talking about his previous experiences, especially during the "Cultural Revolution". socialize. Zhou Enlai and He Long met for the first time before the "August 1st" Nanchang Uprising, that is, on the evening of July 28, 1927. Accompanied by Comrade Zhou Yiqun, Zhou Enlai came to He Long's residence.At that time, He Long was the commander of the 20th Army of the National Revolutionary Army.During the conversation, Zhou Enlai analyzed the situation and talked about the Communist Party's views and propositions on the political situation. His incisive insights enlightened He Long's mind.After years of exploration and practice, He Long had already realized that only the Chinese Communist Party can save China.Therefore, when Zhou Enlai revealed the plan of the "August 1st" Nanchang Uprising and asked He Long to be the commander-in-chief of the uprising army, He Long excitedly told Zhou Enlai: I will do whatever the organization asks me to do, and I will obey the party's decision.

After the "August 1st" Nanchang Uprising, in early September 1927, He Long joined the Communist Party of China in a school in Ruijin.The introducers for joining the party were Zhou Yiqun and Tan Pingshan.Zhou Enlai spoke at the swearing-in ceremony of He Long's joining the party.The general idea is that Comrade He Long is well known in the organization. He went from a poor peasant to the commander of the 20th Army of the National Revolutionary Army through struggle.Over the years, he has actively pursued the truth. It is not easy, but he has been tested and trusted! After He Long joined the party, together with Zhou Enlai and others, he led a total of 3 divisions of the uprising troops and fought all the way to Quicksand in Guangdong.At a very critical juncture, Zhou Enlai personally presided over a meeting in Liusha, analyzed the situation, and decided: He Long and other famous comrades should quickly transfer to Shanghai.

In accordance with the Party's instructions and Enlai's instructions, He Long, Liu Bocheng, Lin Boqu, Peng Pai, etc. chartered a small boat to Hong Kong first, and moved to Shanghai in November 1927.Enlai has already arrived in Shanghai one step ahead to work in the Party Central Committee.When He Long saw Comrade Enlai, he felt very cordial, and a lot of words came to his mind immediately!Thinking that the troops I led were scattered by the enemy, and I was left alone, my heart was very heavy.Enlai said gently: He Long, your head is very valuable, and the Kuomintang can offer a reward of 100,000 yuan to catch you.He Long held Enlai's hand tightly and said: I joined the revolution when the party was in difficulty, and I followed the party no matter what the circumstances were.Enlai said: "You stay here first. I have considered your job. We have the responsibility to protect you. You can think about whether to take this opportunity to go to the Soviet Union first to study military affairs." I was not reconciled to the failure at that time. I felt that I had held the gun for half my life, and it was better to continue holding the gun.As early as during the Northern Expedition, He Long and Zhou Yiqun got along very well and talked about everything. At this time, the two lived in the same house.When talking about the future, He Long said confidently: I am familiar with the terrain in the west of Hunan and Hubei, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou, especially in the west of Hunan and Hubei. There is no problem in organizing a team.From the needs of work, I am still suitable to go to the Hunan, Hubei and Xila team to arm and build the Red Army. I would like to talk to En.

When He Long told Zhou Enlai his thoughts, Enlai pondered for a while and said: I agree with you to go to the west of Hunan and Hubei, but I still consider your safety. The situation is so dangerous now, and the enemy is very strict in searching. How did you get out of Shanghai?He Long was very moved after hearing Enlai's words, and admired Enlai from the bottom of his heart for his meticulous and thoughtful consideration of issues. Before leaving, Zhou Enlai asked He Long and Zhou Yiqun to have a meal.Enlai told He Long that he had sent seven or eight people to form a small team, including Zhou Yiqun, Lu Dongsheng, Li Liangyao, etc., with Zhou Yiqun serving as the secretary of the Hunan-Hubei Frontier Committee.He Long understood and trusted Zhou Yiqun, and when he was with Zhou Yiqun, he felt at ease and very happy.Before departure, Zhou Enlai held He Long's hand tightly, and repeatedly told him to pay attention to safety, and to contact the central government in time if he had anything to do when he arrived at the border of Hunan and Hubei.

Zhou Enlai's concern for He Long is also reflected in his concern for his relatives. In November 1927, before He Long arrived in Shanghai, Enlai sent people to Wuhan to bring He Long's family to Shanghai, and properly arranged the residence.Once Zhou Enlai finished talking about work with He Long, and said very kindly: "Go and see your family members, they live on Xiafei Road." After hearing what Enlai said, He Long was stunned.He never dreamed that when he first arrived in Shanghai, Zhou Enlai had brought his family.He Long deeply felt that the organization cared for him in every possible way, from politics to life.

After leaving Shanghai, He Long and Zhou Yiqun first went to the Hubei Provincial Party Committee and found Comrade Guo Liang to connect with them. Later, with the cover and help of the party organization, they went to the border of Hunan and Hubei in the spring of 1928 and organized the Fourth Red Army in the Sangzhi area. .He fought the war while doing mass work, and he was very brave and strong.He deeply remembered Zhou Enlai's instructions before his departure, and kept sending people or writing letters to the Party Central Committee to report the situation and problems of their armed struggle and the establishment of revolutionary base areas, showing his loyalty to the Party and extremely strict organizational discipline.The Party Central Committee and Zhou Enlai were very concerned about He Long. After listening to Lu Dongsheng’s report and receiving a letter from He Long at the end of 1928, on March 7, 1929, Zhou Enlai drafted a draft for Comrade He Long and the Western Hunan and Hubei Front Committee on behalf of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. The letter of instruction not only affirmed their achievements in creating the revolutionary base area in western Hunan and Hubei, but also gave specific instructions for the development of the Soviet area in western Hunan and Hubei.This made He Long feel the warmth of the party even more.He said: I have worked in the old army for so many years. Although Wang Jingwei met me (He and Wang are both members of the Tongmenghui), I also had contact with Chiang Kai-shek before the Northern Expedition, but I have never met Zhou Enlai. people.Before I joined the Communist Party, I dragged the team every day to avoid being eaten by others. After joining the revolutionary team, I really felt the care and warmth of the party. I was determined to contribute everything I had to the party.

In the west of Hunan and Hubei, He Long, Zhou Yiqun and others, in accordance with the instructions of the Party Central Committee, relied on local party organizations, spread fire, mobilized the masses, and created a revolutionary base in the Hunan-Hubei border.The Red Second Army led by him was brave, tenacious, witty and good at fighting. It not only smashed the "encirclement and suppression" of the Kuomintang reactionaries many times, but also fought tit-for-tat with the "Left" opportunism from within the party. In December 1933, after He Longjing consulted the Central Branch Bureau, he executed the lobbyist Xiong Gongqing sent by Chiang Kai-shek when the revolution was in trouble, completely crushing Chiang Kai-shek's conspiracy to instigate rebellion.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China in October 1949, the Party Central Committee made appropriate arrangements for those democrats who had worked closely with the Chinese Communist Party for the liberation of the Chinese people.Li Zhonggong of Guizhou (formerly a lobbyist under Chiang Kai-shek) found Premier Zhou and proposed that he should be the chairman of the provincial government on the condition that he was from Guizhou and was familiar with Guizhou conditions.Premier Zhou said, if you want to be the provincial chairman, you can raise your opinion, but we have to make overall consideration and research.Premier Zhou repeatedly reasoned with Li, but Li refused to leave and pestered him in every possible way.Comrade Enlai suddenly remembered that He Long knew Li's details, so he informed He Long to come to the Prime Minister's office immediately.Li Zhonggong was unprepared, and when he saw He Long approaching, he felt very restless and behaved unnaturally.Premier Zhou deliberately asked He Long: "This is Li Zhonggong, do you know him?" Mr. He said: "Not only do we know each other, we are still 'old friends'!" Provincial Chairman.Mr. He knew that Comrade Enlai was signaling to him, and Mr. He said to Li: "Li Zhonggong, I didn't expect to see you here! In 1926, when we were preparing to attack Henan in the Northern Expedition, what did you do in my army?" (At that time Li is a lobbyist sent by Chiang Kai-shek to He Long’s troops to instigate rebellion.) I first invited you to dinner at Liu Xiang’s mansion, and then we played mahjong. Right?” Li nodded quickly and replied: Yes, yes, yes this matter.He Long then asked sharply: "After playing mahjong, what car did you take? I have already prepared some cars for you when I was away. Why did you go to Tang Shengzhi's place?" I was arrested by He Long and sent to the headquarters of Tang Shengzhi, the Wuhan government at that time) You did not do good deeds back then!" Seeing that his old background was exposed, Li broke into a cold sweat in fright, and said repeatedly: Shame, shame.Seeing this situation, Comrade Enlai crossed his arms and hugged his shoulders, laughed, and said humorously while laughing: "Oh, so you are 'old friends'. 'Friends' meet again, what else do you have to say?" Li Zizhi was bored, Leave now.Later, Li Zhonggong was a counselor in the Counselor's Office of the State Council. During the "Cultural Revolution", he took revenge on He Long for this, and forged the so-called letter of surrender from He Long to Chiang Kai-shek.Lin Biao and the "Gang of Four" counter-revolutionary group took advantage of this to brutally persecute Comrade He Long.

In 1957, the relationship between my country and Myanmar was very good.Prime Minister U Nu of Myanmar came to visit Kunming, my country. Premier Zhou asked Mr. He to accompany him to Kunming.Since Wu Nu brought his wife with him during the visit, Premier Zhou said: "Xue Ming is also going, and both parties have wives."We stayed at the Lakeside Guest House in Kunming. In a few days, Premier Zhou came.We eat together every day.At that time, influenza was happening in Kunming. When having breakfast on the first day, Premier Zhou said, "Xue Ming, give me a glass of wine." I said, "Premier, why don't you drink wine in the morning?" : "Oh, you don't understand, you take so many medicines to prevent colds, I'm disinfecting and preventing colds, so I didn't say that?" I was still dubious, and asked: "Can I drink it?" He said : "Give me half a glass, just give me half a glass." When I filled a glass of wine and handed it to him with both hands, he smiled and said, "Xiao Chao doesn't advocate that I drink alcohol." After finishing speaking, he asked immediately: " Are you two in contact? Are you in touch?" I immediately said, "I will call Sister Deng in the afternoon." On the phone, I told Sister Deng that Comrade Enlai was in good health and the staff around him took care of him. Very thoughtful.Sister Deng was very happy to hear that.

After the talks between China and Myanmar signed a new border treaty, Yunnan Province organized a large-scale banquet to send off Prime Minister U Nu. Many ethnic minority leaders were also invited. They were very happy to see Premier Zhou. Frequent toasts for Premier Zhou.Comrade Enlai was also very happy and drank three glasses in a row.He Long was worried that he drank too much and would affect his health, so he quickly took the drink from the leader of the ethnic minority and said, "This glass of wine is for the Prime Minister. I will drink it for you. Thank you very much." Comrade Enlai knew that Mr. He had Diabetes is not suitable for drinking, so he said: "Don't drink, I will drink this cup." Mr. He still rushed to drink it for Comrade Enlai.Premier Zhou immediately said to the toasters: "He always has diabetes, so you can't drink too much." The scene of the two of them caring and caring for each other at the banquet deeply moved the people present.

After the banquet was over, I went back to the guest house. When I went up the steps, Comrade Enlai said to me: "Mr. He shouldn't drink. He drank too much today. You should take good care of him." Then he said: "You are from 1942 Married to Mr. He?" I said, "Yes, Prime Minister, why is your memory so good?" He said, "I probably know more about Mr. He than you. He is a hero! You have to remember Wow! You have to take good care of his body. He drank a few more glasses today, don’t drink any more in the future.” I was very moved and immediately told Mr. He.After Mr. He returned to the guest house, he told the staff around Comrade Enlai: "The Prime Minister drank too much today, pay attention to his health." At the banquet, the two competed to drink and took care of each other after returning. This incident is still fresh in my memory. , especially what Premier Zhou said was very meaningful, and I have always kept it in my heart. In the evening, a cultural evening to send off Prime Minister U Nu was held.The exquisite and moving performances of the actors at the party aroused bursts of warm applause from time to time.After the performance, Enlai, Wu Nu, He Long and others went on stage to meet the actors and wished them a successful performance. After Premier Zhou shook hands with the actors to congratulate, he did not know when he put on a very unique cap made of white cloth strips, and he was seen dancing with a flower basket in his hand.His solemn appearance, natural and unrestrained behavior, and skilled and brisk dance steps won rounds of applause.As soon as Premier Zhou danced, the actors on the stage happily jumped up to his dance steps, and the comrades in the band immediately started playing music.Seeing that Premier Zhou danced so well, Prime Minister Wu Nu also tried to jump up, saying repeatedly: "Prime Minister, you are too enthusiastic." Mr. He also jumped up.Seeing this moving scene, the audience burst into applause, and the comrades behind stood on the stools and applauded, and the applause lasted for a long time. Prime Minister U Nu was sent off the next day, and Yunnan Province invited Comrade Enlai to give a report in an open square.Mr. He went with Comrade Enlai, and I followed behind.It was arranged in advance that the guards would maintain order, but when we got there, there were so many people that nothing could get through.When Premier Zhou went to the square to give a report, he had to pass a high slope.But people are scrambling to see the prime minister, and he can't get through.Seeing this situation, Mr. He became anxious. He was afraid that the prime minister would be crushed, so he said loudly: "Don't squeeze! Why is it so chaotic? Why are you so undisciplined? Where are the guards? Hurry up and maintain order! "I was also sweating for the safety of Comrade Enlai, for fear of crushing him.Comrade Enlai quickly stood on the high slope, waved to the crowd and said: "Comrades, I am here to see you today and meet you." Then he said: "Don't you want to see me? Let me go , Go and stand on the platform, didn’t you see me?” As soon as he finished his words, the crowd suddenly moved out of the way.He strode across the high ground and onto the podium.After Premier Zhou finished speaking, everything was in order and people were not crowded at all.Finally, he stood on a small hill, waved goodbye to the crowd frequently, and said repeatedly: "Comrades, goodbye, goodbye!" The audience applauded thunderously.I remember that day, when Premier Zhou was waving to people, when the sun was shining and there was no cloud in the sky, I still remember clearly his look and demeanor.The people love the Prime Minister so deeply. At the beginning of liberation, He Long served as the commander of the Southwest Military Region. In 1954, the Great Military Region was abolished, and after being transferred to Beijing, Mr. He and Comrade Enlai had more contacts. Mr. He has special respect for Comrade Enlai.Every time Comrade Enlai came, as soon as Mr. He heard the sound of his car, he shouted: "The Prime Minister is here! The Prime Minister is here!" while running through the long corridor to meet Comrade Enlai.After taking his seat, He Long always sat sideways on the sofa, with half of his body bowed, to show respect for Comrade Enlai.As long as I was at home, He Long would shout: "Xue Ming, Xue Ming, come and pour tea for the Prime Minister." Comrade Enlai likes to drink tea.There are several kinds of tea at home. I always pour two cups and put them in front of the Prime Minister so that he can taste which one is better. The masses know very little about how the older generation lives, and many young people don't know much.At that time, those who did not ask the public to pay for the dinner were all borne by individuals. I remember that before the "Cultural Revolution", we had a meal with Premier Zhou.That meal was invited by Mr. Nie (Nie Rongzhen).The reason for the treat is also very simple to say.Several bosses got together to chat, and Mr. He joked with Mr. Nie, saying: "Mr. Nie, please treat me." Mr. Nie agreed.During the meal, everyone was very polite, especially Boss Chen, who seemed very reserved.Because Zhang Qian cares about Mr. Chen's health, he usually restricts him from eating fat.Comrade Enlai sent Zhang Qian away intentionally, and said with a smile: "Where is Zhang Qian, go and tell the waiter that we want to eat some vegetarian dishes and side dishes, especially Boss Chen, who wants to eat some vegetarian dishes and side dishes." As soon as Zhang Qian left , Mr. Nie and Mr. He quickly picked up some pieces of twice-cooked pork for Mr. Chen.Mr. Chen had just eaten two pieces. Zhang Qian came back and saw that there was still a piece of twice-cooked pork on Mr. Chen’s plate. Mr. Nie hurriedly smoothed things over and said, “That’s all, let him eat it. If he doesn’t eat it himself, it’s us Let him eat." Mr. Chen said humorously: "Okay, this is the last one." Zhang Qian said with concern while touching Mr. Chen with her arm, and Comrade Enlai put her hands on the table very calmly while smiling , while tapping the table lightly with his hand, he said casually: "Interesting, interesting." After a short pause, he said: "Where is Zhang Qian, let me say a few words to you. Generally, the elderly, especially People who are obese are not suitable for eating fat. I don’t agree with it, and the doctor told me. But it’s okay to eat a piece or two once in a while, and there won’t be any big problems. Don’t worry. For example, the doctor only told me to eat Egg whites, I don’t like egg whites. I eat egg yolks and egg whites together. Egg yolks contain cholesterol, but they also contain lecithin. You can’t eat a piece of fat meat, that’s metaphysics! Don’t make strict rules. It’s okay, if you want to eat less, it doesn’t matter, just be more flexible.” Comrade Enlai’s analysis of the ills of metaphysics was very reasonable, and everyone nodded in agreement frequently. After Comrade Enlai finished speaking, Mr. Nie followed up and said: "We often go out together. I summed it up and found that Xue Ming's way is better." Comrade Enlai also went on to say: "I just found out today that eating At that time, Xue Ming didn't speak, and Mr. He was very conscious, did he get used to it?" I hurriedly said, "It's because he doesn't eat it himself." The Prime Minister said humorously, "Hey, maybe you have other ways. Do you want to teach or not, and you will have classes when you get home, a single coach?" This sentence caused everyone to burst into laughter. At that time, Premier Zhou and several veterans were over sixty years old, and they had such a harmonious relationship. I still remember clearly the scene of eating and laughing together. At the end of 1952, the National Sports Commission was formally established, and Mr. He became the director of the Sports Commission.Premier Zhou was very concerned about the sports industry. He even discussed and discussed with Mr. He many times how to design the gymnasium. In 1961, the Chinese table tennis team won the men's team, men's singles, women's singles and doubles championships in the 26th World Table Tennis Championships.As soon as the ball was played, Mayor Peng Zhen held a grand banquet for athletes from all over the world.During the break, female comrades Zhang Qian, Zhang Jieqing and I were present.Zhang Qian suggested that every time you win the championship in the future, you should show something, and the people present take turns to treat guests.Everyone agrees. In April 1963, at the 27th World Table Tennis Championships, the Chinese men's team beat the Japanese team 5-1 and won the world championship again. This time, Premier Zhou invited us to dinner, and everyone was very happy.Chen Yi and He Long both went to meet the athletes and congratulated them one after another.The Prime Minister encouraged them to "not be arrogant in victory and not discouraged in defeat." After the meal, the athletes happily surrounded the Prime Minister, saying that they were very nervous at the beginning of playing, but when they thought of winning glory for the country, they fought desperately and finally won.I remember that Mr. Chen wiped his mouth with a napkin after eating, spread his hands, and said in a strong Sichuan dialect: "Fruit?" When everyone told him that there was no fruit today, he said: "No wow, just forget it." In the 28th World Table Tennis Championships, the Chinese table tennis team won the championship again.This time it's our family's turn to treat.Mr. He said to the comrades of the Sports Committee: "The last time the Prime Minister treated guests was four dishes and one soup, and he brought his own food stamps. This time it cannot exceed the Prime Minister's specifications. I don't care about other dishes, but don't forget the 'Braised Lion Head' , I want this dish." Because this is Premier Zhou's favorite dish. Premier Zhou is very concerned about the athletes and their technical progress.Once, all the Go players and table tennis players came to Mr. Chen's house.Mr. Chen talked and laughed happily with the athletes.At this time, Premier Zhou also came. He was very personable and spoke very interestingly.The Prime Minister was talking with the athletes, and suddenly the topic changed, and he talked about the central government’s plan to abolish military ranks. The Prime Minister said: “They (referring to He and Chen) agree to the cancellation of military ranks. The opinions of Zhang Qian and Xue Ming How about it? Publish it.” We both replied in unison: “I agree, I agree.” The Prime Minister laughed heartily and said, “I really agree? It’s fine if I agree. If you agree, then the Marshal’s wife will It can’t be done.” The cancellation of military ranks is all ordinary soldiers. At that time, the central government thought about it at that time, and the central government made a decision, and the old commanders all supported it.The prime minister did the work of the wives of the marshals while talking and laughing. In the summer of 1966, not long after the "Cultural Revolution" began, Lin Biao and his gang accused He Long of being a "black line figure" who "wanted to usurp the party and seize power."Afterwards, Kang Sheng and Jiang Qing respectively went to Beijing Normal University and Tsinghua University to frame He Long for mobilizing troops to carry out the "February Mutiny" and incite students to rebel against He Long.Since then, I have had peace.The house was ransacked, and the children hid in the homes of relatives, friends and colleagues.At the same time, the Sports Commission rebels also started to make trouble. On December 24, 1966, the day when the Sports Commission rebels fought against Rong Gaotang, Mr. He went to pick up the Prime Minister and went to the Sports Commission.After the meeting, the Prime Minister shook Mr. He’s hand cordially and said, “Your blood pressure is high, so I suggest you take a rest.” We knew that the Prime Minister made this suggestion to protect Mr. The cause of the "Cultural Revolution" is not clear, and I don't understand the chaos in the country, and I feel uneasy, and feel that I should not rest.He said: I have been a revolutionist all my life, why am I afraid of the masses?It won't work to save me, I still want to work.The Prime Minister saw from He Long's hesitant eyes that Mr. He had doubts, so he said sincerely: "I will take care of the work for you, it doesn't matter. You rest, take care of your health first." It turned out that the rebels from the Sports Committee also pestered He Long endlessly. After listening to the Prime Minister's instructions, he did not dare to disobey, so he agreed to Mr. He's rest. On the evening of December 25, 1966, the staff around the Prime Minister arranged Mr. He and I to live in Diaoyutai.We just stayed for one night, and early the next morning, we received a call from the prime minister's office telling us to leave there immediately.It turned out that Kang Sheng and Jiang Qing also lived there.According to the arrangement of the Prime Minister, we moved to the new sixth residence. On December 28, Mr. He attended the enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee chaired by Chairman Mao.But the rebels from the Sports Committee and Political Science Institute soon found out where we lived, and tracked us down to the Xinliu Institute. They made a fuss all day long, wanting to arrest He Long.The house in Dongjiaomin Lane was also occupied by the rebels.Mr. He was very angry and said: "The people don't know me yet, and I know the people too. I'm not afraid, I want to go back." I told Mr. He's guard Yang Qingcheng: "The Prime Minister arranged for us to live here. If you want to go back, you should tell the prime minister." On January 9, 1967, He Long went to Xihua Hall to meet Premier Zhou. After explaining the situation, the Premier said: "You don't want to go, I will bear it." As he spoke, he immediately connected the phone to my home in Dongjiaomin Lane, and sternly dealt with him. The rebels said: "I'm looking for your leader. I'm Zhou Enlai. I'm the Premier. You go to He Long's house and stay there. Isn't that bad? It doesn't look like it! You move out quickly! Tell me if you have anything to do." , at 7 o'clock tonight, I will meet you in the Great Hall!" After the Prime Minister spoke, they withdrew immediately.I really don't know what the world would be like without the support of the Prime Minister at that time!The Prime Minister said to Mr. He again: "No, leave him alone, don't answer their calls." It was the "January storm" at that time, and the society was in chaos. The Premier was worried about Mr. He's safety. In the early morning of January 11, he arranged for the two of us to live in the front hall of his Xihua Hall.The bed was made temporarily after we arrived.When we lived in Xihua Hall, Mr. He and I witnessed the scene of the Prime Minister working day and night. He went out to work every day and night.Boss He and I couldn't sleep.Every day before dawn, Mr. He and I lie on the window sill, looking forward to the early return of the Prime Minister.It was the middle of winter and it was extremely cold. Every day when it was almost dawn, I saw the Prime Minister's car slowly driving back from the outside.The Prime Minister is so tired!Too tired!Seeing this, Mr. He and I felt extremely uncomfortable.Lin Biao and the "Gang of Four" took a cold attack on the veterans, and a hot attack on the Prime Minister, fighting with wheels, so that he could not rest. Mr. He lives in the West Flower Hall, feeling very uneasy.I always feel that the Prime Minister works hard for the country every day, but he hides in the Xihua Hall to rest, which is very unpleasant.The prime minister is so tense and tired at work, and sometimes he takes time to visit our residence. Every time he comes, he says to Mr. He: "You can live with peace of mind." Once, the prime minister sat down and said : "I'll just eat here." I told the waiter to bring the meal to the Prime Minister.The Prime Minister's meal is also very simple, two dishes.While eating, the Prime Minister said, "I really don't have time." Then he said, "Xue Ming, read the newspaper to me. I don't even have time to read the newspaper. Read the report or the editorial of the day to me." Ask President He: "Have you read the newspaper?" I like to listen to things that are slow, but now that I’m getting older, I can’t remember them too quickly. Just read them slowly.” The Prime Minister listened to me reading the newspaper while eating.While I was reading, I thought, Prime Minister, when you are not quiet when eating! The hurricane of "January Storm" also blew into Zhongnanhai.Zhongnanhai was also divided into two factions. On January 19, 1967, the Prime Minister and Comrade Li Fuchun talked to President He together.The prime minister said: "I am responsible for your safety. Didn't the chairman also say that I want to protect you. I want to protect you too. I want to keep you, but Zhongnanhai is also divided into two factions and it is not safe. Even Mr. Zhu's The boxes are all pried. I will find you a quiet place to rest. You may not be used to it, maybe you will get used to it after a while. Tell me if you are missing something." Although Mr. He and I don't know the Prime Minister and Lin Biao The inside story of the gang struggle, but knowing the prime minister's situation is too difficult.After the conversation, the Prime Minister held Mr. He's hand tightly, and said reluctantly: "You go first, and I will pick you up in autumn." After a short pause, the Prime Minister said: "Family matters, I'll take it. Don't worry about it, I've already made arrangements. Don't worry, Yang Dezhong will escort you and leave at night." Mr. He never expected that the road here would be bumpy and full of thorns.He even didn't expect that this breakup was actually the last farewell to the prime minister! At 3 o'clock in the morning on January 20, 1967, Mr. He and I left Xihua Hall, escorted by Yang Dezhong and Mr. He's guard Yang Qingcheng, and drove towards Yuquan Mountain in a red flag car.At dawn, we arrived at Yuquan Mountain.Then we changed to a small jeep. At this time, there were only He Long, me and Yang Dezhong who escorted us in the car.The car drove all the way to Xiangbigou near Xiangshan Mountain.This is a bungalow courtyard built on the mountainside, and the house inside is very nice.Except for the soldiers serving as guards, there are only He Long and me. After we left, Lin Biao and the "Gang of Four" went everywhere to inquire about the whereabouts of Mr. He and me. They repeatedly clamored to "fight He Long" and "defeat He Long", but they were all rejected by Premier Zhou justly and sternly. On February 18, the Prime Minister asked his secretary to report to the rebel faction of the State Sports Commission that the Prime Minister disagreed with the criticism of Comrade He Long, which was the decision of the Central Committee. On February 22, the Premier continued to instruct the secretary to convey to the Sports Commission: "The Premier does not agree to hold a meeting to criticize Comrade He Long, because the central government has not approved this matter so far." When he first arrived in Xiangbigou, Yang Dezhong visited us on behalf of Premier Zhou. Every time he came, Mr. He held his hand tightly and asked Yang: "How is the Premier? Let the Premier rest assured." Yang Every time I conveyed the greetings from the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister said that we should live to the old, learn to be old, and reform to the old, and asked Mr. He to use the rest time to study hard, practice calligraphy, and learn from Chairman Mao's works.He also said, the Prime Minister guesses that you can't sit still and are not used to this environment, but you will get used to it after a while.If you need anything, go to the Prime Minister.Since then, Mr. He has really started to practice calligraphy, and he practiced very seriously. In 1967, after the National Day, Mr. He had a high fever of 40 degrees and always vomited after eating.When Premier Zhou learned about it, he ordered him to be sent to No. 301 Hospital for treatment, but Jiang Qing objected, so he had to be sent to No. 267 Hospital, where he was arranged to live in the Department of Infectious Diseases.The No. 267 Hospital is under the management of the first security division, and the bungalows are full of dirt when the wind blows.When he was hospitalized, Yang Dezhong and members of the First Guard Division went to visit him.After being discharged from the hospital, Yang Dezhong went to see Mr. He again to turn on the heating, and at the same time brought the Prime Minister's kind care and greetings.The Prime Minister said that the temperature in the valley is lower than that in the city, and the heating should be turned on earlier.The Prime Minister was afraid that Mr. He would catch a cold again.Mr. He held Yang Dezhong's hand tightly and said excitedly: "Hearing the kind and touching words of the Premier, it's like meeting the Prime Minister." Mr. He is very grateful for the Prime Minister's meticulous care for him.Since then, our contact with the prime minister has been cut off. He Long was listed as an object of special investigation, and we completely fell into the clutches of Lin Biao and his gang.Lin Biao and his gang intensified their persecution of us in various aspects such as politics, daily life, and medical treatment.In fact, they were not punishing He Long alone, but Premier Zhou.When I left Xihua Hall, I quietly wrote down the phone number of Xihua Hall in my hand, so that I could contact the Prime Minister in case of urgent matters in the future.After arriving at Xiangbigou, Yang Dezhong began to go often, and he still didn't feel the difficulty of not having a phone.Since I lost contact with the Prime Minister, I felt the difficulty of not having a phone.He Long once asked me to quietly check the phone number of the sentinel, and see if I could dial the number when they were not paying attention.After looking at it, I found out that the sentinel was using a hand-cranked phone. We couldn't even make a call, and we couldn't get in touch with the Prime Minister anymore. I felt really uncomfortable!We stayed here until June 9, 1969, when Mr. He was persecuted to death.After Mr. He passed away, there was no mourning, no wreaths, no party flags, no comrades and comrades-in-arms, only a white sheet covering his burly body.Mr. He's body was cremated secretly. After Mr. He passed away unjustly, I went back to Xiangbigou.The persecution of me by Lin Biao and his gang has not stopped.They first nailed the windows with wooden boards to prevent sunlight from coming in, and they shone a big light bulb on me day and night, so I couldn't sleep.Then they escorted me to the Fourth Company of the 1st Division of the Beijing Garrison Security Guard next to the Summer Palace.Then they escorted me to a certain air force cadre school in Guizhou Province, where they brutally tortured me. About one day in October 1971, two people came to Beijing.One of them said, "Are you Lao Xue?" Afraid that I didn't hear clearly, he raised his voice slightly and said, "Are you Xue Ming?"Another person said: "Don't be nervous, we are not their gang. Lin Biao and Ye Qun fled the country and fell to their deaths in Mongolia. They are finished." Hearing this, I quickly took their hands and said: " Aren't you in the same group?" They said kindly, "It was Premier Zhou who asked us to find you. We searched everywhere and almost traveled all over China to find you." When they heard that Premier Zhou sent them to look for me, Tears flowed down immediately.They told me: "You know some things about Ye Qun. In the last days of Mr. He, you were the only one by his side. Premier Zhou asked you to write down the details of Comrade He Long's persecution by Lin Biao and his gang, and report it to the Central Committee." Heart warm, can look forward to this day.After I came back, with tears in my eyes, I kept writing and writing. In 1978, I finally finished "Report to the Party and the People". Once, Sister Deng said after listening to me finish the contents of the report: "If the Prime Minister hears these materials, he will be very sad." After returning to Beijing, the State Council arranged for me to live in the Xinjiang office.Premier Zhou sent Liu Xiyao, the leader of the science and education group, to visit me.He said: "On behalf of the Premier, I would like to send my regards to your family. I hope your family will be reunited." With the care of Premier Zhou, I was reunited with my children who had been separated for five years.When I was reunited with my sons and daughters, I didn't give them the impression of being punished. Instead, I felt at ease in my heart, and I felt that Mr. He had hope for his recovery. Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou, Chairman Zhu De and other proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation were very concerned about the issue of He Long's redress.At a central meeting, when talking about Comrade He Long, Chairman Mao repeatedly said: reverse the case, reverse the case, reverse the case! In 1974, when Chairman Mao talked with Comrade Deng Xiaoping, he said that He Long would be vindicated.Comrade Deng Xiaoping immediately conveyed it at the Politburo meeting. At the end of 1974, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued a notice to restore Comrade He Long's reputation, overturning all the slanderous and false words imposed on Comrade He Long by Lin Biao and his gang. Before Mr. He was rehabilitated, the Prime Minister asked Sister Deng's secretary to call me and asked, "Where are Mr. He's ashes!" As a relative of He Long, I hope so much to find it!Since then, Sister Deng has come to my home twice.This is the first time I came here to learn about the life and health of my children and me. Although I didn't expressly say that I want to rehabilitate Mr. He, Sister Deng came with her own attitude, so she has great hopes. Sister Deng came to my house for the second time and brought greetings from the Prime Minister. She hoped that I would take care of my health, not be too sad, and look forward. Sister Deng also said that it was the central government's opinion not to publish the ashes of He Long's ashes.I said: I will do whatever the central government decides. On June 9, 1975, on the 6th anniversary of He Long's death, the central government held a "Ceremony for the Burial of He Long's Ashes". On that day, the Prime Minister fell ill and went to attend. Beforehand, Sister Deng called to say hello and said, "Maybe the Prime Minister will come. If he comes, both of you should control your feelings." I told my relatives what my elder sister said. 我和儿女们刚进休息室不久，就听到了在休息室外总理的声音。他大声喊我：“薛明，薛明啊！” 门被推开了，总理走进来，我急忙迎上去。 总理紧紧地搂着我，声音颤抖地说：“薛明，我没有保住他啊！都6年了，老总的骨灰没能移到八宝山公墓，我很难过啊！”说着，眼泪籁籁地流了下来。 我望着总理那被病折磨得消瘦的脸颊，激动地只说了一声：“总理，我感谢你对我们全家的关怀。……”就再也说不出话来了。 这时，我的女儿晓明走过去，说：“周伯伯，你要保重身体呀！” 总理抬起头来，缓缓地说：“我的时间也不长了！” 顿时，整个休息室里一片哭声。 这是周总理生前最后一次参加悼念活动。 周总理严肃地站在贺龙同志的骨灰盒面前，连续向贺龙鞠了7个躬。 周总理代表党中央为贺龙同志致悼词。 周总理说：“贺龙同志是一个好同志。在毛主席、党中央的领导下，几十年来为党为人民的革命事业曾作出重大贡献。”“贺龙同志的逝世，使我们失去了一位老同志、老战友，是我党、我军的重大损失。” 听着这深情的话，我抬起泪眼，望着贺龙的遗像，在心底里默默地说：贺总，总理了解你。人民爱戴你。党信任你。你和其他老一辈无产阶级革命家将永远活在人民心中，你们的遗愿将会变成灿烂光辉的现实。
