Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Surprise

What kind of person Mao Zedong was in real life is a question that people are interested in.Who knows this best?Probably no one knows better than Mao Zedong's bodyguards.Because most of the time, even Mao Zedong's family and his closest comrade-in-arms, Zhou Enlai, who have fought side by side for decades, are not often together.Only the guards accompany him day and night.In the eyes of the guards, Mao Zedong was a real person. Of course he was a great man, but he also had many joys, sorrows and joys that ordinary people have, as well as extraordinary astonishing actions.Here are some anecdotes from the life of Mao Zedong that the guards have told us.

This is not an elegant topic, and some people may ask whether it will damage the image of the leader Mao Zedong.But Li Yinqiao, the head of the guard, insisted: "This is a real thing. Mao Zedong said this to me and other guards several times." Never curious. That was during the years when he moved to northern Shaanxi.Li Yinqiao served as Mao Zedong's personal bodyguard. The troops set off from Bailong Temple, marched for a day, and stayed overnight in a village called Yangjiayuan. Under a small oil lamp, Mao Zedong started his all-night work again. Holding a pen in his hand, he sometimes looked at the map, sometimes contemplated, and sometimes drew lines and circles.Suddenly, he frowned, grabbed a few pieces of waste paper on the table, and ran out.

Guard Li Yinqiao saw all this, but he didn't understand why Mao Zedong was in such a hurry.So vigilantly picked up the box gun and followed. "Yinqiao, carry a shovel and help me dig a hole. I want to relieve myself." Mao Zedong turned to the guard and said. The guard did not expect that Mao Zedong would go so far to relieve himself.In a field outside the village two to three hundred meters away from the residence, Mao Zedong pointed to a hidden place and said, "Just dig here!" After working as an orderly for more than ten years, it was the first time that the guard Li Yinqiao dug a hole for the chief.While digging, he kept muttering: Mao Zedong is really weird, why do you have to run out into the wild to squat in the wild to defecate when there are toilets that are not in use?He didn't say much, and dug the hole in a blink of an eye.

"Chairman, try it!" Mao Zedong tried it and said, "Okay, okay!" The guards standing in the hiding place waited quietly for Mao Zedong's "action". As people have heard, Mao Zedong suffered from constipation and it was always difficult to relieve himself every time. Once the "problem" was solved, he would calm down.Like other leaders, Mao's relief was generally long. "How tiring it is to squat for such a long time!" The more the guard thought about it, the more strange he felt.So, after Mao Zedong finally finished the "big event", he couldn't help asking: "Chairman, why don't you relieve yourself in the toilet?"

"I think it smells bad for the brain!" Mao Zedong muttered. The guard almost burst out laughing. "However, I saw that when you were chatting with fellow villagers, you grabbed the manure with both hands to fertilize it, and then clapped your hands and smoked. I didn't see you feeling a little bit stinky!" Mao Zedong smiled: "This moment is also, and that moment." "Chairman, you are really interesting." The guard laughed. "Hey, Yinqiao, let me ask you when is the best time to think about problems?" Suddenly, Mao Zedong asked. The guard thought for a while: "Probably lying on the bed?"

"No!" Mao Zedong put his hands on his waist; he leaned his upper body back, then bent forward, put his face next to the guard's ear, winked humorously, and said, "Tell you, according to my experience, the It's better to think when you shit." "Ah!" The guard's eyes widened, and he quickly covered his mouth with his hands and laughed for a while. "You said that there are so many people in the public toilet and it smells bad, can you come up with a good idea?" Mao Zedong asked the guard in a serious voice. "Yes...you can't." The guard replied with a smile.He never expected that the great leader would have such a brilliant opinion.

Whether he came up with a good idea while he was shitting, the guard was dubious about it.However, early the next morning, when Mao Zedong asked Zhou Enlai to talk about his plan of "killing the 36th Zhongsong Division", the guards standing aside were amazed: that's really the case! In the battle with the Zhongsong 36th Division of Hu Zongnan's army, it took only three days and two nights to wipe out this mighty Kuomintang army. "Bring the wine!" Mao Zedong, who didn't usually drink alcohol, made a fuss, took a bottle of "brandy" from the guard's hand, and poured it into his mouth.

"Yinqiao, I'm going to have a bowel movement!" Mao Zedong, who hadn't untied his hand once in three days and two nights, put down the wine bottle and waved his hand at the guard. "Hey!" The guard understood, picked up a shovel, and the two walked towards the field outside the village one after the other. "Chairman, Zhong Song's 36th Division was unlucky because of your release. One of your good ideas, General Hu Zongnan will cry for a long time in front of Chiang Kai-shek." The guard joked with Mao Zedong. Mao Zedong was also amused, but suddenly his expression calmed down, and he said seriously: "Yinqiao, how about we make another agreement? I will relieve myself later, so you can carry a shovel and help me dig a hole, okay?"

"Okay! This is a great contribution to the revolution!" The guard thrust the shovel into the ground and agreed.In the end, he covered his mouth and smiled first. On the battlefield, what do comrades hate most?A deserter from his own team. Mao Zedong wrote all his life, and there is almost no record in the history books that the commander-in-chief of the Chinese People's Army personally slashed the enemy with a knife and spilled blood on the battlefield.It is miraculous to say that a person who has never faced the enemy face-to-face with a bayonet or a gun can beat eight million enemy troops to only a few with a flick of his fingers.During the long years of China's revolutionary war, Mao Zedong relied on his great courage and iron will, and never showed mercy to stubborn enemies.After the three major battles of Liaoshen, Pingjin, and Huaihai, the Chiang Kai-shek government begged for mercy in front of Mao Zedong more than once. However, Mao Zedong didn't even blink, saying: "It is better to chase the poor with the remaining bravery, and not to be known as the overlord."

However, you can't think of what Mao Zedong would do in the face of a deserter on the battlefield that everyone hates. What did it mean that it happened in the Central Guard?Once the deserters reach the enemy's side, or are caught by the enemy, there will be immeasurable consequences. "Boy, if you catch him, you will die!" The guards and soldiers were furious. "At all costs, kill people when necessary." The leader of the guard force is determined to do so. "Act now!" "Chase!" The guards immediately sent people in pursuit from all directions, and all directions ordered to stop them.Finally, he tried his best to catch the deserter back.

The revolutionary team hates deserters the most, what's more, this is a deserter that happened in the central heart organ!Comrades are out of breath. "Beat that bitch to death!" "Damn it! You should kill it!" "Hit! Kill him!" The angry roar alarmed Mao Zedong in the cave.He walked over with big strides, and what he saw was a pale baby face and a shivering thin body. "Spare me, spare my life, I didn't run away on purpose! I'm hungry and homesick! I beg you to spare my life!" The deserter knelt on the ground crying and begging with his nose and tears dripping down his face. "Howl again! Howl again!" Someone punched the deserter. "Let go! Let him go!" Suddenly, Mao Zedong roared. "Yes! Destroy him! Mao Zedong agreed to destroy him!" A guard cadre immediately ordered several soldiers under his command to pick up the deserter and leave as if he had obtained a sword from Shang Fang.He misunderstood Mao Zedong's Hunan accent of "release" as the word "Beng". "Stop! I told you to let him go!" Mao Zedong stomped his foot on the ground, his voice raised twice, "You, what do you eat!" The cadre of the guard was stupid. When he realized that Mao Zedong wanted him to release the deserter, he subconsciously retorted: "He is a deserter, and he is not good!" "Which one do you say is bad?" Mao Zedong held back his anger, and asked with wide-eyed eyes, "Is he still a baby, let him go soon." "Such a serious problem, if he is not sentenced or shut down, he will be released? How will this soldier be led in the future?" The cadre refused to accept. "You are the only one who can lead troops?" Mao Zedong glared dissatisfiedly at the cadre of the guard, then changed his tone of gentleness, and said to the people present: "This child is still young, just joined the revolution, and has never experienced hardships." We are suffering here, he can't stand it, he misses home. Tell me, who among you doesn't want home? Think about it, does anyone miss home? Homesickness means defection to the enemy!" "Let go, let him go quickly. Make him some delicious food later, so the baby won't be homesick. Did you hear me?" Mao Zedong said, then turned and entered the cave. As a result, the deserter was released, and not only did he not receive any punishment, but he ate "injured food" for several days.Later, the little soldier never thought of running away and became a heroic revolutionary fighter. In front of Mao Zedong, almost no leader dared to make a presumptuous gesture, say an unkind word, or do something that would affect Mao Zedong's work or study. According to the guards, when Zhou Enlai met Mao Zedong, he always asked the guards first: "Is the chairman resting or working?" If he said it was a rest, he would go back quietly.Of course, there was something very important, so he asked the guards to wake Mao Zedong up.If Mao Zedong was at work, Zhou Enlai would also ask the guards to go in and say hello to Mao Zedong.Seeing Mao Zedong, Liu Shaoqi was even more disciplined. He called first, or asked the guards to notify him first.Those marshals and generals wanted to see Mao Zedong for anything, and they were even more respectful.Marshal Chen Yi, Mao Zedong's poet friend, was the most "presumptuous" person in front of Mao Zedong among all leaders, but every time he came to see Mao Zedong, he always asked the guards first, and then he walked vigorously after receiving "you can go in". Standing outside the door of Mao Zedong's office and shouting "Report", Mao Zedong was familiar with Mr. Chen's voice, so he would respond: "Come in", or stand up from his desk himself.When entering the room, Chen Yi always salutes first, or asks "Hello, Chairman". After Mao Zedong greets him, "Sit down, sit down and talk", Chen Yi will laugh "haha" for a while, and then say: "Let go, Let go now!" It can be seen from this that these highly respected leaders respect Mao Zedong very much. On the other hand, it can also be seen that Mao Zedong's high prestige is also somewhat daunting. Throughout the year and month, Mao Zedong was busy with a lot of work, which is incalculable for ordinary people.His energy and focus on work are beyond the reach of ordinary people.Perhaps because of this, Mao Zedong was very reluctant to be disrupted by others at will in his thinking and ongoing work process. The guards have a very deep feeling: when Mao Zedong was working and studying, the guards often entered the house to change the water for him, pour out the ash or do other things, and stayed in the house for a few minutes, ten minutes, Mao Zedong did not Know.And sometimes when he was writing a document or reviewing a material, someone outside the house coughed, and when he said a word, Mao Zedong would ask irritably, "Who is it!" "What are you doing!" On this day, Li Yinqiao was on duty.Han Guixin, the aunt who was in charge of bringing Li Na to Mao Zedong's family, strode towards Mao Zedong's office. "Hey, Xiao Han, what are you doing?" Li Yinqiao hurriedly called her to stop. Xiao Han said: "My comrade-in-arms and fellow countryman Jiang Yan is here. She wants to take a photo with Mao Zedong. I promised her. No, I will go to the chairman." "You really are. The chairman is working! Watch out for your little head!" Li Yinqiao didn't mean to scare her. The young and naive Xiao Han turned his mouth up: "Hmph, stop doing this!" "You...you..." Before Li Yinqiao had time to stop her, Xiao Han pushed the door open and entered. "Chairman, come out!" Xiao Han said to Mao Zedong. Mao Zedong, who was immersed in his work, was taken aback for a while before asking, "What's the matter, Comrade Xiao Han?" "You'll know when you come out." Mao Zedong was puzzled for a moment, looked at the manuscripts and documents on the table, then looked at Xiao Han, and smiled: "Okay, I obey you." Xiao Han pulled Mao Zedong out of the room and introduced him to a female soldier who was already standing outside the door: "Chairman, this is my comrade-in-arms from the same country, named Jiang Yan, and her lover, Comrade Li Deqi, has treated your dental disease ! Jiang Yan wants to take a photo with you." "Okay, welcome to Comrade Xiao Jiang." Mao Zedong stepped forward to shake hands with the female soldiers warmly, then turned his head and asked Xiao Han humorously: "Hey, Commander, where are you taking pictures?" Xiao Han looked around, and his eyes fell on the cave dwelling where Mao Zedong lived in front of him. "Chairman, let's take a picture at the entrance of your cave!" "Observe the order!" Mao Zedong pulled Jiang Yan to stand there very obediently, so the photographer "clicked" and took a photo with historical and commemorative significance. This photo is still in the photo album of Li Yinqiao and Han Guixin. "I have treasured this photo for more than 40 years. During the war years, whenever I marched to a new place, I would never forget to take it with me." Han Guixin, who is now retired at home, recalled the When I saw the scene, I said with emotion: "Whenever I think of that time when I took the old man to take a picture, I feel a little guilty. But I am still a little proud in front of others: Chairman Mao Zedong treated me like an ordinary female soldier. So obedient. Sometimes my lover Yinqiao always likes to say to me: 'I have followed the chairman for fifteen years, and I have never dared to do like you!' Do you think I can be unhappy?" About Mao Zedong's love of gambling, I heard a lot from the guards.Mao Zedong was a very humorous person. He had active thinking and often had unexpected whims, and there were profound truths in these whims. Once, the head of the guard took advantage of the opportunity of walking with the chairman to command several guards to move a large sofa in Mao Zedong's study to another room.But I tried several times, but I couldn't move it out, so I had to put it in the original place. After Mao Zedong returned to the room, he saw that the sofa was still in place, and several guards were in the room in a daze, not knowing how to deal with this matter, so he asked, "Why, please don't move it?" The guard Feng Yaosong said: "The door is too small, I can't get out. Chairman, why don't you just stay in the room!" Mao Zedong looked at his guard with strange eyes, walked half a circle around the big sofa, and seemed to be thinking very seriously: "Oh, there is one thing I still can't figure out..." Usually, after discussing knowledge and national policy with some experts, Mao Zedong often walked to the guards' duty room and asked some serious questions for the guards to express their opinions. The guards were also willing to show their "high opinions" in front of his old man . This time was no exception. When several young guards heard Mao Zedong muttering again, they were eager to try: "Chairman, what's the matter, tell us what's going on?" Mao Zedong shook his head and said with a side face: "Tell me, should we build the house first and then move the sofa, or should we arrange the sofa first and then build the house? I really don't understand. Are we going to make a bet on this, you guys?" agree Disagree?" "This..." The guards blushed when they heard this.Aren't Mao Zedong's words criticizing himself for not using his brain? "What are you still doing in a daze? Move!" the head guard yelled.So, the guards rushed to stand up and down, and finally "invited" the sofa out of the door. It is Mao Zedong's consistent character to go to the bottom of the matter and make clear what he thinks and problems.The guard said that compared with the real Mao Zedong, he really had such a vigor.Once, the guard accompanied him and writer Xiao San to walk and chat in Xibaipo.As we walked, a group of people in front of the main road were making noise. "What happened there?" Mao Zedong asked with concern. "It just rained heavily last night, and the river swelled, and a lot of things washed down along the river, and the villagers may be salvaging things by the river!" said the guard. "Let's go, let's go and have a look too." Mao Zedong strode forward enthusiastically, and Xiao San followed quickly. Mao Zedong and his party walked along a canal by the river, and the rice fields that had just been flooded by the river immediately came into view.Mao Zedong said with deep regret: "Seeing that the grain received has been soaked by God in this way, it is over. We should immediately organize troops to help the villagers drain the water as soon as possible, and maybe reduce some losses." "I mean fellow Xiao," Mao Zedong turned his head and said to Xiao San. They are both from Hunan. "In our south, this kind of situation is rare!" Xiao San replied: "Yes, in our Hunan, the flat land is full of paddy fields, and we are not afraid of heavy rain. The channels and rivers are like nets, and the water flows smoothly. Small rivers, big rivers, big rivers and big lakes are like a person's blood vessels. , no matter how good the nutrition is, it won’t be able to contain the blood.” "In the north, it seems that it is very necessary to build some farmland facilities that guarantee the harvest during drought and flood." Mao Zedong thought about the problem, and walked to the noisy crowd. It turned out that the villagers were really salvaging things in the river!This river is called the Hutuo River, and the flooded river is full of waves, with watermelons, wood, clothes, dead chickens, live pigs, and puppies rushing in from top to bottom.Due to the rapid flow of water, many items were too late to be retrieved, so the people in the river kept yelling and screaming, and the scene seemed very tense. Mao Zedong on the shore was completely affected by the scene in the water, and couldn't help speaking with a strong Hunan accent, shouting and worrying.Because of the noise of the crowd, the people in the river couldn't hear his words clearly, so he watched helplessly as many things drifted away from the gaps between the people. Mao Zedong stomped his feet anxiously: "What's the matter, that watermelon, and that watermelon?" Is the wooden cabinet completely liftable?" Seeing his appearance, the great writer Xiao San and the little guard were delighted. "Hey, Xiao San, what are you happy about?" Mao Zedong pushed Xiao San as hard as a child, "Go, let's go down too! Let's compete with their young people!" "No, no!" Xiao San hurriedly grabbed Mao Zedong, "I said, Chairman, this is not the water of the Xiangjiang River, it is the ferocious Hutuo water! If we were standing on the edge of the Xiangjiang River today, I would give up my life to accompany the gentleman, and have a good time. Go down and fight with you." After hearing this, Mao Zedong stared at Xiao San exaggeratedly: "Oh, my great writer, you don't dare to risk your life today!" Xiao San immediately blushed, quickly waved his hands and said, "How can I! I mean I'm afraid you'll catch a cold. Besides, I didn't bring any clothes when I came to you, and it's hard to go home if I get wet." "Well, this is a little bit true." Mao Zedong nodded, and then said jokingly, "I said, great writers, you don't need to get occupational diseases, don't just sit at home and shake your pen, and you can't do anything else." Xiao San felt that he couldn't beat Mao Zedong, so he straightened his voice and said, "Chairman, let me declare again: I think your time is too precious. We still have a lot of important things to do, so we should turn back." Mao Zedong thought for a while, and then said: "Well, today you 'saved' me!" On this day, Mao Zedong and the guards walked together. They came to a small pond in the wild.The pond is not deep and the water quality is very clear.Thus, Mao Zedong asked a question: "Xiao Wang, do you think there are any fish in the pond?" The guard Wang Zhenhai who was asked said without hesitation: "How can there be fish in this earthen pond? Only those ponds with stones at the bend of the Hutuo River can have fish! Fish generally like to live in the crevices of stones in the water. If there is a drought, the river can be temporarily ditched and diverted to wash out the water, and a lot of fish can be caught in a pond!" Mao Zedong seemed to be meeting Wang Zhenhai for the first time: "I said Comrade Wang Zhenhai, your home must have many river ponds, and you must have caught a lot of fish when you were young!" Wang Zhenhai, who was praised, puffed out his chest triumphantly: "That's needless to say. Chairman, I dare not boast about other things. If you want to say which ponds have fish and which ponds have no fish, I can definitely tell at a glance." "Hey, you, Wang Zhenhai, Wang Zhenhai, let's make a bet here today." Mao Zedong unbuttoned his clothes and said to Wang Zhenhai, "Let's go into the water together. If you catch fish, it shows my experience." Not comprehensive. If there are really no fish in this pond, it means that your experience is still universal. How about it? Do you dare to fight? I have to go down first!" He said, and he took off his coat. When Wang Zhenhai and several other guards saw Mao Zedong getting serious, they hurried over to stop him. "Chairman, don't, don't go down. You said there are fish, so let's stop betting! Ah!" Wang Zhenhai begged. "That won't do, you call it not sticking to your position. Since you think you are right, you have to stick to it, and dare to be tested by others." Mao Zedong himself has always done the same.But today's matter is not like a struggle with Wang Ming's "left" opportunist line, let alone a negotiation table with Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing.The guards tensed up.Because no one could refute Mao Zedong's words, he still insisted on meeting Wang Zhenhai in Xiatang. At this time, the guard Sun Yong stepped forward and said: "Chairman, there is no need to bother you about this trivial matter. I just need to go down and walk, and I will know if there are any fish in it. If there are fish, I will definitely catch them!" As soon as he said that, Mao Zedong stopped his actions. "Okay, you can do it for me." As Mao Zedong said, he sat down on the dry grass by the pond, and kept smiling at Wang Zhenhai, saying, "We will see who wins and who loses." Wang Zhenhai was very embarrassed, so he followed Sun Yong and others to take off his clothes and jumped down. As soon as the boys hit the water, they were happy. "Oh—" Someone suddenly called out, "There are fish, I have met a fish!" When Mao Zedong heard this, he jumped up from the ground and shouted cheerfully: "Grab it! Be sure to grab it!" That posture seemed to be trying to grasp the truth of Marxism! Sun Yong has good water skills and was the first to catch the fish.Good guy, it's still a fish that weighs a pound! After a while, Wang Zhenhai also grabbed one.But later, the boys fumbled for a long time but failed to grab one. Mao Zedong said loudly on the shore: "Change tactics, you are now trying to muddy the water, this is called fishing in troubled waters, at this moment it is the truth!" So, several guards used their hands and feet together, using all their strength, and in an instant, the clear water pond turned into a muddy pond. The fish in the water couldn't stand the new world of choking their stomachs, so they came out of the water to suck one by one. All of them became "captives" of the guards. "Wang Zhenhai, it seems that your experience is not universal, and you lost." Mao Zedong picked up a few fish and smiled at Wang Zhenhai with a beaming expression. Wang Zhenhai smiled ashamedly: "The chairman is right." "Punish him to clean up the fish. Let's have a good meal today." Sun Yong suggested, and Mao Zedong and several other guards cheered and cheered. Wang Zhenhai happily picked up the fish and cleaned it up. Mao Zedong pointed to the side of the pond with great interest, and said to the guards around him: "Look, the channel for the water intake is very deep, and the fish can easily come along the water. Go, over time, the fish will grow up in one summer. Comrade Xiao Wang didn't notice this detail just now, so he lost!" I see.The guards were full of admiration for Mao Zedong. "We have few rivers in the north, so I am so happy to catch so many fish today!" said a guard from the north. Feng Hanrong, a guard from Shaanxi, was even happier: "We never ate fish when we were at home. I only ate it after participating in the revolution, and now the more we eat, the better it tastes." Mao Zedong heard the guards' comments, and couldn't help asking: "Comrade Xiao Ma, I don't quite understand why you folks from northern Shaanxi don't even eat fish. This fish is delicious and fresh!" Ma Hanrong replied: "It's not that I don't eat fish, because I probably don't see fish at ordinary times, so I don't have the habit of eating fish, so it is passed down from generation to generation, and many people don't eat fish when they see it!" "Well, it seems that Comrade Xiao Ma has a lot of research on the causal relationship between the development of things." Mao Zedong nodded in praise. "But when I was in Yan'an, I saw that my fellow villagers didn't even eat sea cucumbers and prawns!" A guard raised a new question. "It's all superstition. They are very superstitious, saying that eating sea cucumbers, prawns, and fish will cause harm." Another guard answered. Mao Zedong said: "Your words don't explain the problem. I'm afraid the truth is still the same as Comrade Xiao Ma said just now: habit. Once a habit becomes natural and a social custom, it is difficult to change. In the past, ordinary people had no culture. These strange and abnormal customs cannot be explained, so some people have added some superstition to it, so we feel a little superstitious." The guards nodded in agreement. "If there are many ponds like here in northern Shaanxi, we can go to the ponds to fish with fellow villagers, and then invite them to taste the fish together. I think they will like to eat fish gradually!" Mao Zedong looked northwest , with infinite affectionate emotion.He was thinking about the folks in northern Shaanxi who fed the Eighth Route Army with millet and red dates. "Is there any pond nearby, let's touch it for a few more baskets of fish?" Mao Zedong asked suddenly. "No, it's going to rain." The head guard dissuaded, "Chairman, we should go back!" Mao Zedong looked at the black clouds rolling in from the northwest, and after a long sigh, he returned to Xibaipo with his guards. In the evening, he and the boys had a delicious meal of fresh fish.Zhou Enlai and others were also invited to taste it together. "Are you hungry?" It was a peaceful and calm day.Our People's Navy is at a fleet base in the East China Sea, and silver war eagles are moored at the military port.On the iron deck, officers and soldiers lined up with their chests high and their heads held high, waiting for their supreme commander, Chairman of the Central Military Commission Mao Zedong to review. For the officers and soldiers who always dream of their great leader, there is nothing like it. The moment is divine. Mao Zedong came, wearing the familiar pair of big-toed brown leather shoes, and walked onto the deck accompanied by the navy commander and other senior generals. "Hello comrades!" "Hi sir!" "Comrades have worked hard!" "Serve the people!" This question and answer, which is unique to the Chinese army, resounded like spring thunder that shook the mountains, resounding beyond the sky.Then, what the officers and soldiers saw was Supreme Commander Mao Zedong waving to them and walking past them... All pay attention. Suddenly, the pair of big-toed brown leather shoes stopped in front of a black and thin soldier.The supreme commander's eyes, which made millions of Kuomintang troops tremble with fear, watched this ordinary soldier affectionately. All of a sudden, the reporters swarmed up, and the generals stood at attention and waited in unison.All the officers and soldiers held their breath—they expected that the supreme commander would issue instructions or tell the great truth to the soldiers. There is nothing more tense and excited than the black and thin soldier Mao Zedong looked at. Mao Zedong was about to speak.Thousands of pairs of eyes froze, and the reporter's tape recorder was turned up to the highest pitch. "You are very thin, are you hungry?" What, is this the words of the Supreme Commander?The generals, reporters, and officers and soldiers present all thought they had heard it wrong, but everyone heard it clearly. It was Mao Zedong who said it, and it was absolutely true! The soldier stood there in a daze, wondering if there was something wrong with his hearing. Still a seasoned general, he said to the little soldier: "The chairman asked you!" The little soldier looked at Mao Zedong, and Mao Zedong smiled kindly at him, which proved that what he said just now was really about him.Finally, the little soldier with his head upright deflated like a rubber ball, glanced at his chin, and smiled embarrassedly. "Little black face," "Mao Zedong asked him if he was hungry!" Then, there were whispers and laughter from the entire deck. The generals laughed, the reporters laughed, and the officers and soldiers laughed even more. Mao Zedong was also laughing. According to Li Yinqiao, the head of the guard, Mao Zedong suddenly unexpectedly said a casual humorous remark at such a time when people thought it was extremely solemn. "On many occasions, Mao Zedong has indeed always maintained the greatness, majesty and courage of a leader who twists and turns, and is especially in public, in front of leading cadres, and in front of foreigners. This meticulous leadership style has always been his. Perseverance. However, to the masses, soldiers, friends, and acquaintances, he always gives people the impression that he is a good old man with ordinary words and deeds. We usually call him that.” The guards said. After following Mao Zedong for a long time, the guards will be more casual in front of him.However, when it comes to serious business, the guards immediately feel restrained.At this time, Mao Zedong was always more serious.He often asked questions of the guards and educated the staff around him with revolutionary principles.On some issues of position, Mao Zedong was even more unambiguous.But sometimes, the guards also felt that Mao Zedong had a frank and human touch on the issue. The guards introduced such an incident: Once, Mao Zedong went to the countryside to investigate, and stopped when he came to a relatively clean farmhouse.The host was a woman in her fifties who looked like someone who had seen the world. After seeing Mao Zedong coming, she was also very good at handling people and things, without any panic.She raised three pigs by herself, and she lived a good life as a child.Mao Zedong praised her on the spot.However, the local cadres who accompanied her were very nervous. It turned out that this woman was a rich peasant.Chairman Mao Zedong praised a rich farmer as a good man. If this spread, it would be a big problem. Unknowingly, reporters took pictures of the scene and published them in the newspaper.For this reason, the local cadres later made a self-criticism to Mao Zedong through the relevant departments with great concern, saying that they had not done their work well, and Mao Zedong was asked to meet with a rich peasant.After hearing this, Mao Zedong said disapprovingly: "What's wrong with being a rich peasant? Why can't you say she is good? She raised three pigs herself and lived a good life. This proves that she is already a working people who can support herself!" Said that those local cadres suddenly put down a stone in their hearts. According to the head of the guard, there are such things among the guards.It was the period of agricultural cooperation, and Mao Zedong asked the guards to use the opportunity of visiting relatives to conduct social investigations.After a guard came back, he wrote several large sheets of paper, all of which were praises for cooperatives and Mao Zedong.And the guard Tian Yunyu was unhappy when he came back.Mao Zedong asked Oda what was going on. Oda said: "The public-private partnership took away everything from my grandfather's workshop. My father was so happy that he clapped his hands, but my grandfather was so angry that he fell ill in bed. I don't like that, and I sympathize with my grandfather." At that time, everyone in the meeting was sweating for Oda.Everyone knows that Oda's grandfather was a workshop owner, but his father was a proletarian—nothing.Now, the local government responded to the call of Mao Zedong and the Party Central Committee and confiscated his grandfather's means of production, but Xiaotian felt sympathetic to his grandfather. This is a matter of class position! The guards stared helplessly at Mao Zedong to see what he had to say. Mao Zedong spoke, and he asked Oda, "Are you on the side of your grandfather, or are you on your father's side?" Xiaotian paused, and murmured: "Anyway, I feel sorry for Grandpa." Oops!The guards wanted to keep Xiaotian's mouth shut, but he still said it, and it was in front of Mao Zedong. You must know that people who work next to Mao Zedong are absolutely not allowed to have any political stance or historical issues, but Xiaotian... Comrades, don't worry! However, everyone never expected that Mao Zedong would say this: "Okay, Xiao Tian, ​​I won't say your position now, I can be sure that you are on the side of Grandpa. But you can tell the truth, which is much better than some people's high-profile. I like you, and I think we'll hit it off very well!" The minds of the guards seemed to have moved a mountain away.And Oda was even happier, because Mao Zedong could understand him now.Oda lived with his grandfather since he was a child, and was brought up by his grandfather. His grandfather and grandson have a deep relationship, but on the contrary, he has a normal relationship with his father.Of course he sympathized with grandpa emotionally. At the end, Mao Zedong specifically added to Oda: "I will write a letter to your grandfather later, saying hello to Mao Zedong, let him recover well, and make more contributions to socialism in the future. He is a workshop owner and has business experience. !" Oda let out a very happy "Hey". Mao Zedong had ten children in his life. Yang Kaihui gave birth to three sons named Mao Anying, Mao Anqing and Mao Anlong.Jiang Qing gave birth to Li Na, and the rest were born to He Zizhen. However, among the six children born to He Zizhen, only Li Min survived. .Li Min and Li Na are still alive today. Mao Anlong was separated from his two elder brothers on the streets of Shanghai in the spring of 1931. It is still unknown whether he is dead or alive.Mao Anying is still alive, but due to the severe beating by secret agents when he was a child, the head injury has not healed. Among his sons, Mao Anying is the only one who is healthy and lived with his father for a long time, and later died in the Korean battlefield. Among the children, Mao Anying is Mao Zedong's eldest son and Mao Zedong's favorite son.Looking at Mao Anying's 28 years of experience, everyone is proud and regretful that Mao Zedong had such a son.When he was a child, An Ying spent a long time behind the bars of the Kuomintang with his mother. Later, he was only nine years old in Shili Yangchang in old Shanghai. He took his seven-year-old second brother An Qing and four-year-old An Long to wander around. From time to time, he was beaten and hunted down by Kuomintang spies.When he was a teenager, he studied in the Soviet Union and became a member of the Soviet Red Army, participating in the famous Soviet Patriotic War.回国后，便基本上能经常与父亲毛泽东见面，参加了中国革命的解放战争及社会主义建设。朝鲜战争爆发后，毛泽东将自己最心爱的长子送到了前线。 毛泽东爱岸英是众所周知的。父亲爱自己的儿子是天经地义的，当领袖的也同样。但毛泽东爱自己的子女却有着特殊的方式方法，首先他要求自己的子女不能有丝毫的特殊，包括毛岸英在内，毛泽东一直要求自己的子女到最基层工作，他们与工人、群众越是接近，他越称其为好。其次是要求他们好好学习，这包括学习科学文化知识、马列主义理论，还有就是向人民群众学习。其三是原则问题、生活问题要求严。为此，毛泽东差点动手揍打爱子。 那是毛岸英回国几年后，到了恋爱年龄的1948年下半年。当时毛泽东已率中央机关到了河北的西柏坡了。毛岸英和烈士刘谦初的女儿刘思齐一起在附近农村搞土改。毛泽东曾认刘思齐为“干女儿”，毛岸英与她在接触中渐渐有了感情。后来邓颖超、康克清从中搭桥牵线，两人便确定了恋爱关系，毛泽东也很高兴儿子的这件事。 据卫士长李银桥介绍，他当时是二十一岁，通过毛泽东亲自搭桥牵线已经快要同韩桂馨同志结婚了。就在这当儿，二十五岁的毛岸英也来找到了父亲毛泽东。当时，李银桥就在场。 “爸，我跟思齐的事，邓妈妈、康妈妈跟您说过了吗？”一进门，毛岸英低着头问父亲。毛泽东正在批阅文件，头也不抬地应了一声“嗯”。 “那我们就办理结婚手续吧？”儿子说。 “思齐多大了？” "eighteen." “十八？！是周岁还是虚岁？”当时卫士长感觉好像毛泽东对此事是有所了解的。 儿子不敢说假，说是虚岁，不过他补了一句：“可也就差几个月。” 毛泽东一听，断然道：“一天也不行，”说着便朝儿子挥手：“我这儿忙，你去吧！” 毛岸英高兴而来，丧气而去。李银桥见他情绪不好，便让他留下一起吃午饭。行政处知道后，便来请毛岸英让他到中灶去吃。 吃饭时，毛泽东看到了，便对儿子说：“你妹妹（李讷）从小就是吃大灶，你这么大个人了，还需要我提醒？” 毛岸英什么话都没说，便到大食堂向李银桥要了只碗，蹲在院子里吃闷饭。这时，正巧有只公鸡在追母鸡，扇起一片尘土。李银桥等卫士赶忙起身避开扬尘，而毛岸英却没动，并且触景生情地发了一句牢骚：“公鸡还知道找母鸡呢，我是个人，都二十五了！” 李银桥见毛岸英一肚子气，便凑过来小声说：“别急，等主席高兴时你再去说，千万记住一定要在他高兴时。” 毛岸英这才点头，似乎消了些气。 一天，前线传来我军歼敌七个旅的战报。李银桥赶忙找到毛岸英说：“主席唱京剧了，快去吧！” 毛岸英一听，飞快地跑到父亲的办公室，这次他想来玩个既成事实，看老子怎么办。“爸爸，我和思齐已经准备好了，明天就结婚。” 毛泽东一听，眼睛直了起来：“不是告诉你暂时不要结婚吗？” 儿子犟了一句：“我自己的事，还是让我自己做主吧。” 毛泽东像第一次认识儿子似的，走近毛岸英打量了一番，又转身回到办公桌说：“你找谁结婚由你做主，可结婚年龄不到你做得了主吗？那就由制度和纪律来做主。” 儿子不服：“岁数不到结婚的人多着呢！” 毛泽东火了，将手中的笔重重地往砚台上一放：“谁叫你是毛泽东的儿子！我们的纪律你不遵守谁遵守？” 进门的李银桥见这阵势不对劲，他扯扯毛岸英的袖子，示意他赶紧走吧，别再惹父亲发火了。 毛岸英大步重踩地退出了屋子，身后只听父亲直喘粗气地嘀咕道：“本来高高兴兴的，叫他又来扫兴！” 毛岸英回到自己的房间，越想越恼火、生气，一头扎在床上哭闹起来，几个卫士进去劝他也不顶用。警卫排长阎长林去报告江青，江青说：“这事还是让他爸爸去管吧。”她怕自己管不了。 阎长林便去报告了毛泽东。 毛泽东顿时勃然大怒，甩下笔，大步走出门来。卫士们见后一个个胆怯而又紧张起来，因为毛泽东不仅一脸怒不可遏之状，还把拳头握得紧紧的。莫非他要去打儿子呀？ 毛泽东打人的事，虽然卫士们没见过，但早在延安时，大家就传出过他和弟弟毛泽民之间的事。那是毛泽民自己向一位中央领导说的。他说有一次哥哥毛泽东因为一件事与弟弟争吵起来，大概因为争不过弟弟，于是便举拳就要打弟弟。毛泽民见哥哥要打自己，便忙说：“马克思列宁没有教导我们打人。”毛泽东一怔，那举在半空的拳头半晌才慢慢地落了下来。 还有一次是在江西中央革命根据地时，毛泽东的小儿子毛毛刚会走路，有一次小家伙独自摇摇晃晃地跑进了毛泽东的办公室，见爸爸正在屋里，便“爸爸，爸爸”地走近毛泽东。一心伏案疾书的毛泽东在他聚精会神干工作时，是不允许有人干扰他的，这时儿子“爸爸爸爸”的叫嚷，便蓦然火冒三丈，举起拳头，对着小儿子：“嚷什么，我揍死你！”孩子吓得顿时哇哇大哭。毛泽东这才仿佛一下醒悟似的放下拳头，不过他也并没有觉得自己多大不对劲，唤来贺子珍，让她把孩子抱走。 卫士们担心，今天他是真的要揍儿子了！他们看着毛泽东一步一步走向儿子的房子，并且准备在必要时上前劝阻。 然而“险情”却并没有发生。只见毛泽东走到门口时，戛然止步。 “毛岸英，你想干什么？”突然，一声吼鸣，如雷击五岳。毛泽东不吼则已，一吼真是惊天动地。 就这一嗓子，正在屋里哭闹的毛岸英立刻没了声息。 毛泽东没说第二句话，便转身回到了自己的办公室。 这一幕，卫士们看得清清楚楚，听得实实在在。一个个站在那儿张着嘴巴，半晌没反应。 “毛泽东就是这样一个人。他从不掩饰自己的喜怒哀乐，但他处理事情却总是出人意料。”卫士们说。 补充一句的是，一年以后，思齐已过了十八周岁，毛岸英又向父亲提出了结婚，毛泽东欣然同意。毛岸英和刘思齐（刘松林）的婚礼十分简朴，是毛岸英自己一手操办的。当时参加婚礼的有毛泽东、刘思齐的母亲张文秋，还有周恩来夫妇、朱德夫妇、谢觉哉夫妇、陈谨昆夫妇、徐特立老人等。 “全体注意：立正——！” 一天，卫士尹荆山正在值班。 周恩来进院子来了。他要见毛泽东。同以往一样，周恩来的第一句话便是问：“主席在休息吗？” 尹荆山报告道：“正在看文件，主席说请您进去。” 这是时值三年困难时期，也是毛泽东已宣布“不吃肉”的那个日子。周恩来是来谈事的，但头几句卫士们听到的是他在劝毛泽东还是希望他吃点肉，增加些营养，因为那段时间由于毛泽东的营养跟不上，他全身都出现了浮肿。 “你不是也不吃肉么？大家都不吃么。”毛泽东没有采纳战友的建议。 大约半个小时后，周恩来出来了。不一会儿，毛泽东也走出了屋，在院子散起步来。走了一圈，毛泽东突然像想起什么事似的，直奔卫士值班室。 卫士长和几个卫士以为有什么事，赶忙迎出来。 “你们来，都出来站到院子里。”毛泽东招呼道。等卫士们都出去后，又似乎觉得人少了一点，便说：“去，把理发员、炊事员都叫来。” 很快，毛泽东身边的七八个服务人员都集合到院子。可大家互相用目光询问，不知是什么事情，连一向能猜得出毛泽东心理的卫士长都感到莫名其妙。 “现在，你们都站好，排成一列横队。”毛泽东说着，并且提高了嗓门：“全体注意了，立正——！” 卫士和理发员、炊事员们立刻挺起胸膛，齐刷刷地站成一列横队。 毛泽东自己也双脚一并立正站着。“现在我们国家全民皆兵。我身边的你们这些人呢，当然也是兵，我也是兵么。今天呢，你们听我来发号施令，操练一下看你们到底像不像兵。” So it is!卫士们的心里都乐了，他们跟随毛泽东有的十几年了，搞军事训练是家常便饭，可由三军的最高统帅亲自给他们发号施令，这可是头一回。他们寻思着，大概自南昌起义至今，由毛泽东亲自为兵操练，恐怕军史上当属今朝第一回！这些虽然早已脱掉军服的战士，一听到毛泽东的口令，仿佛第一次上战场，一个个神情严肃，精神抖擞地站着。再看看两个上了年纪的理发员和炊事员，老同志也不含糊呀！ “听口令。”毛泽东声音本来就洪亮，可今天卫士听来更觉得洪亮百倍，真是一位无可比拟的教官！“齐步——走！” 于是，人家立刻甩臂迈步，走得刚劲有力。 “立定！向左——转！齐步——走！”因为院子小，毛泽东便不停地下达各种口令。昔日宁静的丰泽园，自它在中南海建立以来，也许第一次有了这般铿锵有力的口令声和脚步声。 因为这些人过去都是兵，并且又受过严格的军事训练，所以没人做错一个动作。 “立定！”毛泽东把队伍调到自己面前。他笑了，高兴地点点头：“稍息。看来你们还像个兵。我们全国全民皆兵就是六亿兵，试看天下谁能敌？现在帝国主义叫嚷要侵犯我们，那是白日做梦！以后你们要坚持训练，保卫国家、保卫人民。”毛泽东一番精辟高论后，摆摆手说：“今天就到这里。解散！” 他自个儿回到了屋。卫士、理发员和炊事员则站在院里，意犹未尽，自个儿又摆动起手臂，迈开步子，热闹了好一阵。他们多么留恋方才的队列训练，希望有一天毛泽东再给他们当一次教官。但毛泽东直到他离开人世也没能再这样做过。这是他一生第一次也是最后一次为战士上队列课。 毛泽东是一位公认的思想家、理论家、哲学家。他一生爱读书，并且自己写下了浩浩几百万字的巨着。人们只要读一读如《矛盾论》之类的文章和他的那些诗篇，就会领略到这位巨人的渊博知识。 毛泽东一生读过多少本书？谁也说不准，但看看他的藏书，看看他卧室里的书架、床头、案边、厕所里放着的那些高高叠起，一本本打开着的书，你就会略知其酷爱读书的程度。 “他读书看书，就像他抽烟、吃辣椒一样，都是出了名的有瘾。”卫士们这样说。 毛泽东偏爱读马列的书和历史书。中国古代有名的书他几乎都读过，而且有的反复读过几遍。那些别人看一眼就头疼的厚得一尺来高的旧线装的“之乎者也”书，他更是爱不释手。一部四千余万字的《二十四史》，他竟能通读，有的篇章还不止读过一遍。像我们这样的“现代秀才”连书名都生疏的一本《容斋随笔》，毛泽东竟从1944年开始读起，一直在临终时还放在枕头边。可想毛泽东读书的酷爱程度以及读书的渊博与深奥了。 偏偏这位大理论家和思想家，竟有件让小卫士们感到十分不解的事。 那一天，卫士尹荆山值班，他进屋帮毛泽东整理床铺。那床上有毛泽东平时随手看的书，整理床铺，顺便整一下书，也是卫士常做的事，但小尹今天感到特别的惊讶：怎么谁把小人书扔到了毛泽东的床头？胡闹，是哪个小家伙干的呀？是李讷？还是叶子龙家的燕燕？或是卫士长的宝贝儿子卓韦？不像呀，小家伙们好几天没溜进这间房子呀！ “主席……”小尹转身刚想问毛泽东，却马上住嘴了。原来，毛泽东手里拿的正是小尹感到惊奇的小人书。 毛泽东看书历来聚精会神。他正半仰在躺椅上一页一页地认真翻着一本小人书。 小尹悄悄走近毛泽东，看看到底他老人家看的是什么深奥无比的小人书。是，没错，一本我在上一年级时就看过的！卫士好不解！ “主席，您老人家也看小人书呀！”小尹终于忍不住了。 毛泽东慢慢翻过一页后，不以为然地答道：“怎么，你没看过小人书？” “嗳，那都是在当小学生时候看的，现在早不看了。”小尹昂着头说，可刚说完又不解地摇摇头，问：“主席，您怎么……还要看小人书呢？” 毛泽东笑了笑，放下小人书，示意小尹在一旁坐下。“小尹，你看小人书是怎么看的呀？” “看热闹呗。翻翻就完了。” “看完有什么感受呢？” “我……说不上来，我就看看武松打虎什么的就算完了。”小尹不好意思地说。 “那算什么看。”毛泽东认真起来了，说，“小人书不简单哪，言简意赅，就那么几句话，多少大事，多少人物就交代出来了。而且一本书总是讲一件事，很容易让人记得住。你光看图连字都不看，怎么算看书呀！” “是，主席。”小尹觉得自己很狼狈，刚刚还觉得毛泽东看小人书天真，现在才觉得幼稚的是自己。从那以后，小尹当真迷上了小人书。 也许是在毛泽东的影响下，卫士们包括卫士长在内，在以后闲时都爱看起小人书来了。 据卫士们回忆，毛泽东是位属于感情丰富的人，平时，他的喜怒哀乐也表现得淋漓尽致。他从不掩饰自己的好恶，对卫士也同样。 高兴时，卫士可以在他面前打打闹闹，而且毛泽东也乐于跟这些年轻人开玩笑。 如果他正在工作时间或在公众场合，则表现出一丝不苟、言行一致的作风。 按照卫士们的话说，毛泽东就像位严格的慈父，他对人爱，爱到你暖到心窝，一辈子难忘，他要求严，严得你心惊肉跳，也是一辈子难忘。 毛泽东跟卫士也有发脾气的时候，本书在前面的章节中已叙述过。大多原因是因为毛泽东睡觉时卫士不小心影响了他，或者毛泽东认准了的事而遭到不合他心思的劝说，或者没能按他意图办事。他曾因为一件不起眼的小事将卫士轰走了——这是极少的，只有在他火头上才会发生。一般情况下，毛泽东对自己火头上说出的话，做出的事，会在事后马上意识，并果断改正。他向卫士发脾气，十有八次事后便主动检查道歉。这也充分显示了毛泽东的高尚品德。 李银桥是毛泽东一生中用过的最信任和最爱抚的卫士、卫士长。毛泽东称别的卫士或直叫其姓名，或直叫其小×、小×的。惟独叫李银桥，平时总亲切地称“银桥”。这个“银桥”在卫士与领袖之间搭起了一条充满阶级感情的同志式的和父子般的深厚情谊的纽带，时达十五年之久。但毛泽东也对他发过一次不小的脾气。 几十年过去了，李银桥对此记忆犹新。 那是1960年的事。那次李银桥随毛泽东去上海。毛泽东没下车就餐，就住在专列上。一天中午，李银桥见毛泽东睡觉了，他估约老人家得下午才能醒得来。于是，李银桥便进城到上海市委干部俱乐部办事去了。下午赶回专列，才知道毛泽东提前起床，并随即进城开会去了。 作为卫士长一般情况下必须紧随毛泽东。于是，李银桥赶紧奔到毛泽东那儿。偏偏他到开会处，上海市委已将开完会的毛泽东接去吃饭了。饭后的活动是到俱乐部看《小刀会》，这是卫士长事先知道的。于是，李银桥便等候在毛泽东的专车旁。 大约过了半个来小时，毛泽东在上海市委柯庆施等几个领导的陪同下，从就餐的餐馆处正居高临下地走下来，毛泽东走在最前面。 李银桥见状，赶忙拉开车门准备让毛泽东坐车。可是，毛泽东见到自己的卫士长后，站在台阶上不走了，一手叉腰，一手怒气冲冲地指着李银桥，突然大吼一声：“李银桥，你是干什么的？” 那声音之大，神色之愠，使跟随毛泽东十几年的李银桥全身不由打了一个寒战。心想，出什么事啦？怎么发这么大的脾气呀？ 当时在场的柯庆施等人也被毛泽东突如其来的怒吼给弄得莫名其妙。大家面面相觑，想等毛泽东的下文，可他再也没说什么话。 训练有素的卫士长李银桥虽然吃惊得全身有些打颤，但还是想到了自己的职责，便向台阶上迎。 这时毛泽东也正朝下走。李银桥上前搀扶他上车。 车开了，蒙在鼓里的李银桥想弄明白到底是发生了什么事使毛泽东发如此大的火，可他知道现在不是问清事的时候。那样会火上加油的。他偷偷瞥了毛泽东一眼，果真见老人家依然一脸愠色，并不时吮吮嘴唇。跟谁也不说话。 开始看戏了，毛泽东还是不理紧挨在自己身边坐着的卫士长。不过，毛泽东是特别容易进戏的，一进戏，他的情绪和思维会转向。 演出结束后，李银桥见毛泽东的情绪已经好多了，便在回程的路上，小声问道：“主席，今天出什么事，惹您生气了？” 毛泽东嘟着嘴，翻了他一眼说：“还说呢，把我的嘴都烫坏了……” 事后，李银桥才弄明白。在吃饭后，毛泽东有漱口的习惯，于是一名卫士没试水温便将一杯水递给了毛泽东。以往，有经验的卫士长在每次给毛泽东递水时，总要试一下水温，等不烫不凉时才给毛泽东用。毛泽东呢，每次从李银桥的手中接过水，总是张大嘴巴就往里灌。这次他又这样做了，结果立即喷了出来，可想而知一定烫得不轻。 “毛泽东发脾气，也时常像天真无邪的孩子赌气一样，很有意思。这次烫嘴，也就朝我喊了一嗓子，气便消了。当时他老人家大概一时怨我没有亲自伺候他，二是作为卫士长没把自己的经验传授给别的卫士，当然，烫了毛泽东我是感到自己的工作没做细，但丝毫没有因为他朝我发了脾气而紧张不安，他呢，也没放在心上。”坐在我们面前的李银桥笑着谈当年的事。 这是卫士长讲的一件亲眼目睹的事。下面是他说的话。 那是五十年前的一个夏天，我正在值班室，突然电话铃响了。是周恩来总理打来的。 “银桥，主席现在是在工作还是休息？” 我回答说：“在办公室工作。” “那好，请转告他，胡志明主席马上到。” "yes." 我刚到毛泽东办公室向他报告完毕，周总理就带胡志明主席来了。那几年间，胡志明主席就像走亲戚似的常来中国，并总要与毛泽东、周恩来会面。胡志明虽说也是一国领袖，可一跟毛泽东在一起，就像到自己家见了老哥亲兄一样，极为随便。毛泽东对这位战斗在反帝前线的越南人民领袖更是亲密无比。我跟随毛泽东十五年，像对待胡志明那样亲密的外国领导人，还没有第二个。 “毛泽东，你好啊！”胡志明这一次是从自己的国家而来，因为天热，路上大概又走得急，只见他的汗衫先湿了一大块。 “好好，看到你这个老亲戚来，我就更好了。”毛泽东十分高兴地握着胡志明的手，端详着，“嗯，身子骨那么硬棒，就是亚热带的阳光太辣了一点，把你晒黑了一些。不过，这总比我一年四季不出中南海的人福气多多了！” 胡志明大乐：“全托毛主席的福呀！” 当时中南海还没有什么空调，毛泽东的办公室也就是一台台式电扇。我见屋里闷热，便打开后调了个既能给两位老人些凉风，又不至于冷了他们。 “来，擦一擦，好好擦一擦。”毛泽东像普通人的家里来了一位尊贵而又亲热的客人一般，忙碌个不停，亲自把毛巾递给胡志明主席，并且弓着腰，为正在洗脸的越南朋友扇扇子。 “哎哟，毛主席，这可使不得。”胡志明感觉后，忙争着接扇子。 毛泽东把手中的扇子往后一扬：“你是我请来的亲戚，怎么能让你自己动手呢！洗，痛痛快快洗一洗
