Chapter 11 Basic necessities of life-1

When Zhou Enlai visited 14 countries in Asia, Africa and Europe, a reporter who could blink asked: "Mr. Zhou, you are already 65 years old. Why do you still look so young? What do you eat?" This question is not lacking in provocation, but also curious. Nixon's view on this kind of problem is: power makes people young. One song is: A revolutionary is always young, he is like a big pine tree that is evergreen in winter and summer. A veteran cadre recalled: "Only love can keep the Prime Minister so young." However, the Prime Minister's answer to this question was: "I am an oriental, and I live according to the living habits of the oriental people."

What kind of oriental living habits does the Prime Minister live according to?Now more and more people are more and more interested in exploring, and even some doctors have begun to study the secret of the prime minister's longevity. Most people will say: You are wrong.The Prime Minister died of illness under the age of 78, which is not considered longevity.It is too common for modern people to be 78 years old. But don’t forget, if a person is “awake” to be considered alive, then the prime minister’s life expectancy is definitely longer than the 120-year-old birthday; Nor will he live longer than Zhuge Liang. "The prime minister is exhausted. If we do an experiment and select 100,000 people to work like the prime minister under the same load, 10,000 people will fall down within a year, and 30,000 people will fall down within five years... "

Such an experiment is impossible, but I believe what he says.When more than 20 of our secretaries were fighting against the prime minister day and night, I thought: If I were in the position of prime minister, I would definitely lie down for a year, and it was unlikely that I would get up again. Back to the original topic: how does the prime minister live according to the living habits of the oriental people?Work has already been talked about a lot, this chapter talks about basic necessities of life, the next chapter talks about rest and entertainment, and then there is "between husband and wife"...Yi Zhou Silai believes in and follows the oriental civilization that "people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles".

People depend on clothes, Zhou Enlai must have all kinds of "exquisiteness".I summed up 4 items for him: pay attention to the selection of materials, pay attention to styles, pay attention to the confidentiality of dressing, and pay attention to the timing and reason of making clothes. First of all, let’s talk about what are the particularities in the selection of materials for clothing and decoration? As soon as I entered the city, Zhou Enlai talked to me: "After entering the city, you should stop being an adjutant and become an administrative secretary." At that time, there was no official order. After the Prime Minister talked, I was renamed Secretary He from top to bottom, and I was in charge of the life of the Prime Minister.

After the conversation, the Prime Minister gave me a job: "I participate in a lot of activities, and I pay attention to whether I look neat and tidy at home and abroad; I want to make a request to you, my clothes must be able to show the face of a Chinese." At that time, the "Red Capital" was probably the best tailor in Beijing.In the 1950s and 1960s, only foreign embassies and senior Chinese officials could make clothes there. In today's terms, it was the "designated factory" for the head of the central government to make clothes. I accompanied the Prime Minister to the "Red Capital", and the relevant service personnel greeted them. Needless to say, they were very excited to see the Prime Minister. For the needs of people going abroad, we imported some British woolen materials and Australian woolen materials; various types and colors are relatively complete..."

The Prime Minister shook his head: "Don't import, but domestic." The waiter immediately understood and introduced the domestic clothing materials to the Prime Minister in detail.The Prime Minister confessed to us: "From now on, when I make clothes, no matter the wool or fabric, I must use domestic products." The Prime Minister chose the materials carefully.He chose the material and color of the clothing roughly as follows: first, he chose French blue velvet produced in Shanghai, and then he chose blue dungaree wool to make a Zhongshan suit.When I first entered the city, I mainly used this blue woolen tunic suit as a "dress", and I wore it when I received foreign guests and participated in important events.Then I chose blue and ignorant jiggy cloth to make a jacket; I also chose ordinary twill and plain cloth for summer clothes.I remember that the plain weave is gray, and the Prime Minister likes light gray, which is also made into tunic suits.He always chooses ordinary white market cloth for underwear. He doesn't like to wear cotton sweaters and cotton wool trousers. He always uses ordinary white cloth to make shirts and underpants.

In the future, when I make clothes for the Prime Minister, I will lead people to choose materials.According to his habit, there is no need to ask him to look over it again.For example, after we got domestic wool, we used this material to make summer clothes for him. We also made two coats for the Prime Minister.One is a jacket made of gray ambiguous cloth, which is worn in spring and autumn; the other is a light blue navy wool coat, which is worn in winter. The prime minister never wears a hat, so we don't need to choose and make it. The Prime Minister likes to wear ordinary single-color thread socks. After having nylon socks, it is said that Mao Zedong did not like nylon socks and still wore thread socks.The prime minister embraced nylon socks, which were worn in the 1960s.

The prime minister likes to wear black cloth shoes and black leather shoes.He goes out a lot and walks fast, so he requires the shoes to fit as well as possible.I accompanied him to Dongan Market to buy shoes, and there were a lot of onlookers. Afterwards, the public security department was very nervous, fearing that there would be safety problems.The Prime Minister didn’t think so, and said, “Then you should go among the masses. It’s dangerous if you go to the city and you’re not in a confinement room.” I interjected, “It’s true that there are too many people and it affects order. We’ll buy it for you in the future. .”

The Prime Minister is as big as I am and has a similar figure. He can wear shoes interchangeably, and sometimes he also wears my sweatshirt and coat.At that time, I couldn't buy suitable shoes in Dong'an market, so the Prime Minister went to Tongchunhe shoe store to choose, but they still didn't fit. Although it was night, there were still quite a few people. They recognized the Prime Minister, and the onlookers caused confusion. Afraid of affecting the business order, the Prime Minister came back.Later, I ordered a pair of leather shoes.And special care: "Use domestic cowhide."

The things worn by the Prime Minister are also made in China.From as small as a handkerchief to as large as a watch.When I first entered the city, the supply system was implemented.Our country is still unable to produce watches. The Central Office bought watches from Hong Kong for the party and state leaders, one for each person, and the one for the Prime Minister was a Swiss-made Rollyce automatic watch.The Prime Minister admired the watch and sighed: "When can I wear the watch I made?" Shanghai first made the prime minister's wish come true.I remember the Prime Minister was overjoyed when he heard the news of the watch produced in Shanghai. He raised his hand and pointed to the southeast: "Tell them, I will buy one. Buy it at the market price. I will advertise for them!"

People’s understanding of advertising at that time was far from what it is now. If people had the brains and awareness they have now, the Prime Minister’s act of advertising Shanghai Watch would be done by people with brains, how much impact it would have, and how much impact it would bring. What about markets and benefits? The Shanghai Watch Factory selected and selected for the Prime Minister, sent a Shanghai watch, and asked for 120 yuan.Later, the market price is yuan.After Zhou Enlai participated in various activities and showed his wrist to look at his watch, he advertised for the Shanghai factory.With the development of the Shanghai Watch Factory, it was later changed to a Shanghai watch with a calendar. Everything from the vest and sweatshirt worn by the Prime Minister to coats, outer pants, shoes and socks, watches, pajamas, handkerchiefs, toothbrush and so on are all domestic products that show the face of the Chinese.He once said to us: "Import is a must. Many things abroad are more advanced than ours. It is wrong to refuse to learn and use them. But as Prime Minister, I represent the face and backbone of the Chinese people. As long as our country can produce Yes, I will use domestic products. How can we develop national industries without using domestic products? We must always think about making more contributions to the development of national industries.” However, the prime minister also encountered two difficulties. The first piece of the puzzle is the razor. The prime minister is famous for his big beard, which is thick and hard and grows fast. When he first arrived in northern Shaanxi during the Long March, he left some photos of the beard.The Prime Minister once stroked that beautiful beard and laughed at himself humorously: "There is nowhere to turn around the corner of the mouth, and suddenly I heard a voice in the hair." It is said that this is Su Xiaomei's sarcasm of Su Dongpo...After entering the city, the Prime Minister has frequent foreign affairs activities.He pays attention to grooming and shaves his beard every day.Master Zhu of the Beijing Hotel is in charge of facial shaving, but it is impossible to bother Master Zhu every day, so the prime minister usually shaves himself with a safety knife. In fact, the Prime Minister did not want to shave so frequently. He frowned more than once, held the razor in one hand, and stroked his sore collar with the other, shaking his head and sighing: "Hey, it's a waste of time, a waste of time." Among our country's leaders, the Prime Minister is the only one who can really manage every day. Think about it, the schedule of activities is calculated every minute, and even the 5-minute journey from Zhongnanhai to the Great Hall of the People To figure it out, it takes 5 minutes to shave. Can the Prime Minister be in a hurry?Calling waste time. However, the quality of domestically produced blades is too poor, and they are always "weak", so they cannot quickly solve the Prime Minister's beard problem.As a result, the contradiction became more and more prominent: shaving and shaving is directly related to the faces of Chinese people. Even if the outside world does not know about the faces of Chinese people who have been shaved with foreign blades, the Prime Minister always feels uncomfortable inside.So he wanted to use domestic blades; however, the domestic blades did not live up to expectations until the Prime Minister died of illness, and the new blades became blunt after even one shave.Maybe most Chinese people have less beards? For most people with thin and soft beards, domestic blades can be used continuously for a period of time, but for a bearded man like the prime minister, it is true that he can never finish shaving quickly.Often there is still some beard left unshaven, and the blades on both sides are already blunt.The Prime Minister had to apply hot towels to his soft beard again and again, then soap up and shave again. Sometimes it was difficult to shave, he frowned to endure the pain, and gritted his teeth to speed up the shaving.Work is waiting, time is not forgiving!We see it in our eyes and feel uncomfortable in our hearts; why can't we make good steel and produce "hard" blades? Once when he visited Myanmar, Cheng Yuangong, then head of the guard, said to the guard Gao Zhenpu: "This time, let's get 10 yuan in foreign exchange and buy some razor blades for the Prime Minister!" Every time the Prime Minister visits abroad, he never receives the foreign exchange that should be received according to the regulations, which saves the country, and influences all of our entourage to not receive it, and saves some foreign exchange for the country.It has never been like the current people who go abroad to buy large and small items back; once they go abroad, they can improve their living standards. I remember very clearly that when I went to Myanmar, I bought 4 packs of razor blades, each pack of 5 blades, a total of 20 blades.After bringing it back to China, he installed a safety knife for the Prime Minister. When the Prime Minister hurriedly shaved his face, he quickly got a feeling, and his face was happy: "Oh," he called out softly, "The quality of the blade has improved!" We were really embarrassed, scratching our heads, saying no, no saying no.Looking at the happy expression on the mirror, the relaxed and happy expression of the prime minister, I really can't bear to spoil his mood. The beard is done.The Prime Minister wiped his face with a towel, unscrewed the knife holder, and muttered, "Is it the Shanghai knife?" Seeing the Prime Minister wiping the soap foam off the blade, I hurriedly replied: "It is a foreign blade bought in Myanmar." The Prime Minister's face turned dark all of a sudden. Looking at the foreign letters on the blade, he frowned slightly and said nothing. Alas, how we wished we could produce our own good blades back then! These 20 blades lasted for a while.If it becomes blunt, send it to Master Zhu at the Beijing Hotel to sharpen it before continuing to use it.Because this kind of blade is easier to use than the new domestic blade after grinding. The prime minister is really short on time, and shaving is an indispensable item, so he did not criticize us for spending money or insisting on using domestic products for these 20 razor blades.After all, is it good for work?Therefore, when the razor blades were indeed no longer usable, we asked Li Qiang, Vice Minister of Foreign Trade, to help the Prime Minister buy some razor blades when he went abroad, and talked about the difficulty of shaving the Prime Minister. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Li Qiang said, "Don't worry, leave this matter to me." Li Qiang bought dozens of blades for the prime minister with his own money.When the Prime Minister shaved, we told him about it. "I didn't mention you last time, so why did you buy it again this time?" The Prime Minister was upset, "And without my consent, I asked others to pay for it for me! Others don't understand me, don't you understand?" "Can't this kind of blade be produced in China?" We explained, "Domestic blades can't shave your beard, and it also affects your work." "I can't shave, I can go to the barber shop to shave!" The Prime Minister got angry, threw down the foreign blade, and went to the barber shop for a shave. We can understand that the reason for his real discomfort is that the quality of domestic blades cannot improve. We had no other choice, so we went to see Elder Sister and asked Elder Sister Deng to intercede for us. Sister Deng took advantage of the opportunity of eating together, and slowly persuaded: "They also have good intentions. Your beard is indeed a big problem. Since it can save time and benefit work, let's use it this time, and just don't do it like this again in the future." The prime minister said nothing more.He admitted that beards are indeed a big problem, reluctantly accepting "a fait accompli".These dozens of blades really solved a big problem, and the Prime Minister used it for a long time. Later, electric razors were produced abroad.Due to the outbreak of the "Cultural Revolution", the Prime Minister was too busy to eat, let alone shave.He has to accept the electric razor if he doesn't accept it, because when activities are intense, he is often in public for three days and five days, and has no chance to shave at all.At this time, you can only use the short time in the car or in the toilet to "clean" the stubble on your face with an electric razor. The second problem that the prime minister encountered was that he was afraid of heat and cold, which made him stand out even if he didn't want to stand out among a group of leaders. During the war years, the Prime Minister wore cotton coats and trousers.So when I first entered the city, even though I knew that the Prime Minister was not afraid of the cold, I still sewed a silk padded jacket for him in the cool autumn season.Then came winter, when Mao Zedong went to Moscow to negotiate and the negotiations did not go well. Mao Zedong asked Premier Zhou to talk by name.I suggested to the Prime Minister: "Prime Minister, the Soviet Union is colder than our Heilongjiang Province. I heard that if you spit slowly, your lips will freeze." "That's nonsense," the Prime Minister smiled and shook his head. "I've been to the Soviet Union. It's colder than ours. It's not that serious." "Siberia is different from Moscow. We talk about the cold current in Siberia all day long. If there is a strong wind over there, we can cool more than half of China and generally reduce the temperature. I don't think it is bragging. We will also visit their industrial cities this time, which is a must in Siberia. Let’s go, and we’ll be in Hanliu’s hometown.” "What do you mean by all this?" "You need a fur coat, and a fur hat." "I don't need it." The Prime Minister shook his head. "Be prepared." I persuaded, "You are not going sightseeing, nor are you a guest, but going to work. If you get sick from the cold and lie down, it will affect the major events of the party and the country..." The Prime Minister was moved by my words.After pondering for a moment, he agreed: "Okay then, I will listen to you." So we made a fur coat and a fur hat for the prime minister.I thought I did the right thing this time. Moscow is much colder than Beijing. We wear sweaters, cotton trousers, and fur coats, but it is still too cold to stay in the wild for a long time.Especially in Siberia, the weather is still good at minus 30 degrees. It is really terrible when the wind blows at night. Although the spittle will not freeze on the lips, it is true that the lips do not dare to get saliva. If it is wet, it will freeze immediately. Feel. I'm a little worried for the Prime Minister.Because he was wearing a fur coat, he threw away the sweater, wool trousers, fleece trousers, and cotton-padded trousers. Apart from the coat, he only had a vest on his upper body;The coat is a leather tube, which is ventilated from top to bottom and filled with wind. I'm really afraid that the Prime Minister will get sick from the cold. This layer of worry quickly disappeared.It was unbelievable. Even if the Prime Minister stood in the severe cold of minus 30 degrees for three hours, all the faces would have grayish coldness or goosebumps, but the Prime Minister's face was full of red, and steam came out from the leather collar and under the brim of the hat.It's okay to not move, but with a little exercise, such as walking and visiting, it doesn't take much time, but he can actually sweat! "I've been fooled, I've been fooled." The Prime Minister began to whine softly, "This guy is heavy and hot, Secretary He, I have been fooled by you." From time to time, the Prime Minister lifted the heavy fur coat on his body with his hand.He is a man of great appearance, he never unbuttons any clothes he puts on, and he must keep them tidy no matter how hot they are. I was very puzzled: "Prime Minister, we wear sweaters, woolen trousers, and cotton-padded trousers. You also need to wear a fur coat. You..." "I'm afraid of heat, it's not like you don't know it!" The Prime Minister was angry. "When you moved to northern Shaanxi and entered Beijing, you also wore cotton clothes..." "That's a quilt!" the Prime Minister corrected, "Wherever I went, I just fell asleep and fell asleep, and the cotton padded clothes were used as quilts. Now I don't need to go anywhere and just lie down and sleep..." The Prime Minister shook his head and waved at me: "I've been fooled, you can go about your business. " In Moscow, the prime minister basically didn't wear that fur coat, but just wore an extra pair of cloth underpants and my fleece coat on his upper body. Just this body, walk around and look around, it's all right. I can't help worrying.Who is wearing that navy coat?But I brought a fur coat instead of a navy coat. The prime minister was not happy about being duped, so he didn't dare to persuade him to wear less clothes. However, when you leave Moscow and arrive in Siberia, you have to be persuaded.Sometimes the temperature can drop to thirty or forty degrees below zero, and even if he is scolded, he has to be persuaded to put on a fur coat.I did not realize at the time how terribly wrong this exhortation was. I stopped many times along the way to attend banquets held by local party and government leaders and visit factories.For outdoor activities, the Prime Minister wore a fur coat.In front of the guests, he couldn't say it was hot or murmur that he had been fooled, it was hot and hot, and suddenly his nose got wet, so he quickly turned his head to the side and blocked it with a handkerchief. Oops, the Prime Minister has a nosebleed! From this "blood lesson", I realized that the Prime Minister is indeed afraid of heat but not cold.Back on the special train, the Prime Minister threw down his fur coat and began to say, "I've been fooled." Everyone looked at each other and agreed that this was the truth. Since then, the fur coat has been pressed at the bottom of the box, and the prime minister never wore it again until his death.Ms. Deng said to me: "This coat has not been worn at all, and it is still new. The Prime Minister explained before his death that it was a supply system at that time, and the coat should be a public property. It is better to return it to the public." Therefore, the coat worn by the Prime Minister when he visited Moscow on January 20, 1950 was returned to the public after 25 years. The prime minister has never worn the silk padded jacket we made for him.We also received the "Lessons of Blood" and did not ask him to wear it once.Every winter, the Prime Minister wears a pair of underpants and outer trousers for his lower body, a shirt, a woolen jacket for his upper body, and occasionally a vest.When the weather is the coldest, even if you go to the airport to meet and see off foreign guests; all the hosts and guests are dressed in cotton and fur, only the Prime Minister is alone, wearing a woolen coat outside, can stand in the cold wind for two hours, his face is full of red, There is no sign of cold.This surprised many people.Boss He and the other chiefs wanted to learn from the Prime Minister, but they couldn't. They knew right away at the airport that they wouldn't be able to pass.Only the Prime Minister is an exception. The prime minister is not afraid of cold or cold.He seldom catches a cold, and occasionally he has a cold, which can be cured with a sip of wine in his mouth.I often hear comments: Soviet people are used to living in the cold, especially cold.There is another saying: white people are more cold-tolerant than colored people; white people are more cold-resistant than yellow people, and yellow people are more cold-resistant than black people.If there is any scientific basis for this statement, Zhou Enlai must be an exception.He is more hardy than most Caucasians.I remember that in November 1965, the Prime Minister went to Romania to attend the funeral of George Udej.There was a lot of wind and snow that day, and the snow was the kind of granular snow, not like the kind of lightly falling snowflakes, but swept everything like a sandstorm.The coldness of this kind of weather always brings penetrating power and biting power. In such bad weather, the Prime Minister stood in a group of fur-wrapped fraternal party and state leaders without a coat or a hat, and mourned in silence. , funeral. The cemetery was far away, and the ceremony was long. From 8:00 am to 1:00 pm, the prime minister stood and walked slowly in the snow for five hours. Foreign guests from all over the world kept looking at the Prime Minister in amazement, and asked a few questions with concern: "Why aren't you wearing a coat?" It's a different day today, and you wear so little...... Ask someone to fetch some clothes? " A foreign guest even criticized our entourage: "Oh, that's how you protect your prime minister? It's so cold!" We don't want to explain too much, for fear of frightening them; our Premier Zhou is not wearing a coat?He didn't even wear a sweater or pants! The Prime Minister is not only particular about the materials he wears, but also about how to wear them and the styles. The prime minister has spent most of his life in a ceremonial environment, and rarely relaxes casually and is free.We chatted privately, and we all felt that the prime minister's life was too tiring and bitter. Mao Zedong's dressing is very related to his character: loose and casual, unrestrained and careless.He is often dressed by the guards, and he does not do it himself, nor does he pay attention to the service personnel who are scrambling in front of him; What has become of people?At this time, what clothes do you wear for Mao Zedong?Is a button missing or a wrong button?Has the vegetable soup on the chest been washed away?He doesn't care.No matter how you play with him, how he moves, he is very obedient; the clothes are what he wears, the buttons are buttoned in the wrong eye, the clothes are high on the left and low on the right, and he doesn't know if he is crooked for a day. Zhou Silai's dressing also reflects his character: well-regulated, clean and flat; careful and meticulous.He didn't ask the guards to help, but he had to do it himself when dressing and undressing.When going to bed, every time he takes off his clothes and pants, he must fold them neatly, never throwing them around, let alone rubbing them in a pile; he folds them one by one from bottom to top When I got up the next day, I took them one by one from top to bottom and put them on again; step by step, the order was clear.He not only has to fasten every button as soon as the clothes are upper body, but also carefully stretches every corner, cuff and neckline of the clothes, and pays attention to not having any stains.Once found, even if it is only a rice grain-sized stain, he will immediately wipe it off carefully with a wet towel.More than once, I was moved by his dedicated demeanor of loving cleaning and carefully wiping away any stains that splashed on his body.That demeanor often reminds me of a bird that loves its feathers and is diligent in grooming. Mao Zedong liked "chaos". He threw the books in the house "randomly" on the bed, chair, table, and sofa. The more messy he was, the easier it was for him to find. The more neat and orderly it is, the more it will be criticized by him and make him lose his temper.He will not be able to find what he is looking for at once because of this artificial order. Zhou Silai is a person who pays attention to order.No matter how busy you are all day long, you are always busy and orderly, and your life and work are in order.The documents on the desk are arranged in a clear and regular manner according to the priority, and you will not take the wrong one when you close your eyes; the paper, ink, pen, inkstone, stationery and glasses are in their respective places; carry something.The handkerchief is fixed in the right trouser pocket, and toilet paper in the left trouser pocket; the glasses case in the right pocket contains two ballpoint pens; the left pocket is always filled with notebooks; the top pocket only holds business cards or Report slips and confidential materials are placed in the close-fitting underwear bag.This kind of orderliness and regularity ensured the prime minister's work efficiency, and it never happened that he was in a hurry to find something.As soon as he had something to do, he would leave as soon as he said, unlike ordinary people, the more anxious he was, the more he lost his way and couldn't move. Due to living in a ceremonial environment for a long time, he always has to face the camera, the camera lens: the head, and always faces the attention of foreign guests, domestic guests and the general public, so he developed a habit of wearing uniforms.He told us many times: "It is a kind of politeness to dress neatly, which shows respect for others. Once a hobby is developed, it is not easy to divide the occasion.Therefore, even if the Prime Minister is at home and there are no outsiders around, he is always neatly dressed and does not even loosen his collar buttons, as if there is a camera in front of him recording his every move at any time. He should always maintain his image and maintain a good appearance. Chinese faces. I said earlier that the Prime Minister is afraid of heat but not cold. That is only one aspect, and it is for winter. In summer, the Prime Minister has changed, and he is more fearless of the heat than any of us. I remember that after entering the city, the fabric clothes made by the Prime Minister were all light gray Zhongshan suits, including twill and plain weave.He believed that the Chinese tunic suit "invented" by Sun Yat-sen was the best expression of the Chinese people's face, and the uniforms of cadres at that time were all Chinese tunic suits.No matter how hot it is in summer, the Prime Minister always wears a plain tunic with a slightly thinner fabric, and it is too "orthodox" and "standard". Under the tunic, he must wear a shirt with a neat white edge on the collar.When the weather was so hot that people wanted to take off their clothes and soak in cold water, the Prime Minister also insisted on being "fully armed". He even refused to wear slippers barefoot, and must wear a pair of short socks. There is a certain reason for such strictness in public. When we return home and there are no outsiders, we still maintain this kind of "strictness". We can't bear it.Even if the prime minister is sweating in the heat, he will never take off his uniform when he is in office, and he will not even loosen the collar button.If he sets an example like this, we have to follow suit.In your own office, you can also quietly take off your uniform, casually wear only a singlet or a round neck shirt, and step on a pair of sandals with bare feet.But as soon as the electric bell rang, he quickly put on his uniform and went to meet the prime minister in full body. I remember a time when a heat wave hit Beijing. It was so hot that people opened their mouths to breathe.The prime minister came back from a meeting, his whole body drenched in sweat.He hurried to take a shower, came out of the bathroom, and was already fully dressed, with the collar buttons of his uniform tightly fastened.Sit down at your desk and put on your work sleeves seriously. We turned on the fan for him, and put a basin of cold water in front of the fan.But the wind was still scorching hot. The Prime Minister just sat down, and the sweat was already flowing out again. "Prime Minister," I finally couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted his office: "I want to give you some advice." "Oh?" The Prime Minister raised his head, his face became sticky due to the continuous drying of sweat by the fan; he looked at me seriously: "Tell me, what's your opinion?" "It's so hot," I glanced out of the office, amidst the chirping of cicadas, the air was so hot that it trembled, "If you don't take off your coat, it won't be easy for us to take it off, it's too much suffering, and it will affect our work. " Ms. Deng rarely walked into the Prime Minister's Office, and supported my opinion: "Yes, it's so hot. What are you doing? It's a vest, a shirt, and a uniform outside, so much!" The prime minister looked at himself: "I think it's okay...not a big problem." "It will be too late when you realize that you can't. Besides, everyone is covering..." "You can take it off, don't compare with me." The prime minister still refused to give up his "image". "If you don't take it off, how can we take it off?" I made up my mind to let the Prime Minister understand and relax, "It doesn't affect the problem at home, and there is no need to suffer that hot crime..." At this time, many secretaries and guards also came in to persuade and give advice.Seeing that everyone was talking, the Prime Minister reluctantly started to unbutton his collar and clothes. From this day on, the Prime Minister stopped insisting on wearing a uniform in the office, and put on sweatshirts or Hong Kong shirts, but he never wore a round-neck shirt once, and he refused to wear sandals barefoot. I remember Attlee, the leader of the British Labor Party, visited China in 1954. The weather was so hot that Attlee put on a short-sleeved shirt. Collar buttons and every button. The prime minister has been wearing a strict uniform in public, and occasionally wears a suit when he is on tour; he has a suit, which he hardly wears, and seems to be worn only a few times during the Geneva meeting and his visit to Africa. The prime minister himself is polite and strict, and he demands the same from those around him.Once, the embassy of a certain country held a National Day reception, and the Prime Minister attended it.Although it was midsummer, the Prime Minister was still in uniform, strict and tidy.When he walked to the embassy, ​​his eyes swept away among the government officials following him.Under the influence of the Prime Minister, government officials also pay attention to their image in foreign affairs activities, and all of them are well-dressed.Only old Mr. Huang Yanpei didn't care much, and came wearing a pair of suit and shorts. The Prime Minister waved his hand, called a comrade from the protocol department, and whispered: "Go and remind Mr. Huang, why are you wearing shorts? The owner will mistakenly treat them with disrespect.You ask him to change into a pair of trousers quickly and come back again. " However, there are times when this polite requirement has to be put aside. The Prime Minister visited Vietnam, and President Ho Chi Minh visited his place of residence.When facing flashing lights and camera lenses, Ho Chi Minh stepped on "land, sea and air" rubber shoes and wore a uniform, maintaining his usual image.As soon as the reporter finished taking pictures, Ho Chi Minh immediately took off his clothes and changed into silk shirts, urging: "Take off your uniforms quickly, I will take off first." He specially took care of his old friend Zhou Enlai: "I know you are very polite, but it's also where you score. You are home when you come here, there is not so much politeness." Ho Chi Minh never had so many "ceremonies", and it was the same in his presidential palace. As soon as the journalists finished taking pictures, he hurriedly took off his clothes to relax himself.The principle of Zhou Enlai's visit is "the guest does as he pleases", and here he can only follow Ho Chi Minh to take off his uniform. After returning to China, this story spread from our 3 groups to 1 group (the guard group in charge of Mao Zedong was called 1 group, Liu Shaoqi's 2 groups, and Zhou Silai's 3 groups), and then to Mao Zedong's ears.Mao Zedong smiled after hearing this: "Enlai can also be taken off his uniform." In the 27 years since Mao Zedong entered the city, in my memory, he only went to Xihua Hall once, and left after sitting for a while.He is used to calling people over and never or rarely visits.The Zhou Enlai he saw was naturally a "uniform image", and he couldn't imagine that he would be mobilized to take off his clothes during foreign affairs activities. Coincidentally, Zhou Silai visited Vietnam, and Ho Chi Minh visited Beijing again, and it was a very hot day.Mao Zedong took off his clothes as soon as the photo shoot was over, and urged Ho Chi Minh while taking off his clothes: "Tuo Tuo, you are home when you come to me, let go, whatever you want." It was really hot that day. When Mao Zedong took off his vest, he was still urging Ho Chi Minh: "Take off, it's comfortable to talk." Ho Chi Minh wanted to stop when he took off his uniform, but when Mao Zedong took off his vest, he continued to take it off.When he had only a vest left, Mao Zedong was already shirtless, and he urged with a smile, "It's all taken off. We're home, whatever you want." Ho Chi Minh was taken aback for a moment, then he stroked his long beard and laughed.He smiles like a child.The folding fan in his hand was closed forcefully, and the guests did what they wanted, and they took off their shirts all of a sudden. The two leaders just talked about the world's major affairs with their shirts off. This matter was heard by the prime minister, and we joked: "Fortunately, the prime minister didn't go, what would happen if the prime minister did?" The prime minister just laughed, before saying: "Maybe no one needs to take it off." There is also a big emphasis on how the prime minister dresses. Only those around us know it, and it is difficult for the outside world to know.It is about secrecy, sometimes even "strict secrecy." From Moscow to Algiers, from Geneva to Jakarta, waiters in many countries know that Premier Zhou Silai has a suitcase, which is closely guarded by the guards, and does not know how many important secrets or money are hidden in it.Especially in the third world countries, once they decide to give them aid, some waiters will point to the box and quietly ask our comrades: "Your money for aiding us is locked in that box, right?" At this time, we can only shake our heads with a smile, but immediately nod our heads with emotion, feeling a little sour in our hearts.In fact, every aid given to them has the most direct relationship with this suitcase. This is actually the prime minister's suitcase, which contains his daily necessities. There is a quilt that the Prime Minister uses at home.This is out of hygienic and safety considerations, and also because the Prime Minister is used to using his own quilt, so he does not use high-end bedding from hotels when he goes abroad.The Prime Minister's quilt has a green plain weave quilt, a rough white cloth lining, and a thin cotton cover in the middle.There is also a raised wheat leather pillow, which has always been this pillow after entering the city, and it is very old. There is a pajamas, which I wore when I went to the city, and the fluff has been polished off long ago.Because the prime minister has the habit of working before going to bed, and the back is often implanted, so it is the first to wear and tear there.The small hole was first broken, and then we started to mend it, and gradually it became a big hole, and it was too much to mend, so the whole back was replaced, and the back was repaired again, patch after patch, and we were reluctant to buy a new one until we died. There are three pairs of socks, and none of them has patches, especially the soles of the feet. We have to take them out for patching once or twice a week.The guard became used to it. As soon as the prime minister went to bed, he checked his socks, found a new hole, and immediately took it away to mend it.The next morning, I brought in the socks and gave them to the Prime Minister to wear.This situation did not get better until nylon socks were introduced.Nylon socks are strong and less prone to tearing. Prime Minister's towels are even worse.The face towel was worn until there was no fluff, and it gradually resembled gauze. Holes were gradually worn out. When the holes got bigger and bigger, the Prime Minister cut the towel in the middle, replaced the two sides in the middle and sewed them up to continue using.Because towels are mostly used in the middle, they are worn out first, and the two sides are rarely worn. The Prime Minister's foot towels are even worse, they are made of waste gauze sewn together as foot towels, and gauze has been used like this for decades. The tooth cup used by the Prime Minister is printed with "Defend the Home and the Country", and this tooth cup will be used until death.Needless to say, "defend the country" One word, it shows the age and quality of the cup. The prime minister uses a bristle toothbrush, white jade toothpaste, and Lux ​​brand soap.那时的力士牌香皂没有香味，碱性大，我曾帮他买过一块檀香皂，结果挨了顿批：“你是不是还想买些香水头油回来？” 从此，再没人干这种“讨人厌”、“讨人嫌”的傻事。 总理的内衣内裤，件件补丁摞补丁。因为怕国外有传染病，我们要保证总理的安全，所以他的内衣内裤不能拿到街上去洗。何况总理的内衣裤补丁那么多，拿出去影响未必好。万一是用搅洗机，这样的衣服肯定会被搅破。在家我们可以帮总理洗衣，在国宾馆显然没办法，没法拿出去晾晒，万一被照张相，还不知会引出什么故事来？所以，出国就只能交大使馆，请馆里的女同志帮忙洗。每逢这时，都是大使夫人亲自动手为总理洗，许多大使夫人都是边洗边哭。记得总理在马里访问时，大使赖亚力的夫人看到总理穿的衣服，有的补丁摞补丁，有的布都糟了，稍一用力就破个洞；所有这些衬衣，只有领口袖口是换了新，露在外面一圈不会被人发现里面的内衣破旧成什么样。她一边洗一边流眼泪，轻轻喃出几声“总理……”就是说不出一句完整话。 作为我们一个六七亿人口的泱泱大国的总理，穿这样破旧的衣服，叫外国服务员看到了会怎么议论？他们不了解我们的国情，和我们的价值观、道德观也不同，难免不理解，所以还是向他们严格保密为好。所以，每天早晨总理一起床，首先由我们的卫士进去，该收的收，该藏的藏，行李箱锁严实了，才放服务员进。到了晚上，总理再休息时，才开锁取出卧具、牙具和衣物。 服务员见不到开箱子，自然以为里面都是贵重之物。但是，以总理为代表，中国人民正是这样节俭奋斗，才尽自己所能省出了钱物支援那些第三世界的国家和人民。 当然，对于那个年代的许多援助应当怎样评论？要有具体的分析，不能一概肯定，也不应一概否定。但其基本说法没错：援助是相互的。 总理的节俭不只表现在“补丁”上，主要还是脑子里时时想着。 他的毛巾磨破了中间部分，就剪开来将两边缝到中间用。毛泽东也是这样。总理还有个特点。我们用破两三条毛巾，他的毛巾才磨破。我们都发现了其中的秘密，就是总理从来不两手抓了毛巾用力拧干，只是用两手合力挤出毛巾里的水。这样毛巾虽然不会挤干，擦着不如拧干的毛巾舒服，但挤毛巾不会挤断纤维，而拧毛巾会拧断纤维，这是总理讲给我们的道理，所以他的毛巾使用时间长。 他每次刷过牙，总要多甩一阵牙刷。我们纳闷，先后有几位同志问：“总理，你刷牙怎么没完没了甩牙刷牙杯呀？”总理笑着问：“你看牙刷上的猪鬃怎么扎在牙刷把上的？” “当然是用线扎上去的。” “水不甩尽就会把线沤断的。”总理笑着解释，“而且，这么甩一甩也是运动，一举两得，何乐不为？” 总理对于他的制服，很讲究，不允许有补丁。这么大个国家的总理，穿着补丁衣服会客显然不好。所以，他对衣服穿用都很仔细，减少磨损。比如办公，一定要戴袖套，他每天批阅公文常在10个小时以上，袖底很容易磨破。即便戴着袖套，每件衣服最先磨破的仍然是袖底部位。既不能丢弃旧衣，又不能带补丁，这时总理就把衣服交我拿到王府井去织补。富有经验的老师傅们采用织补的办法，衣服补好了，还不会叫人一眼看出补丁。 对于内衣内裤，总理不大讲究补丁的形状用料，但是，袖口领口是一定要搞好的。 有的确良布后，我曾建议把总理磨破衣领或磨得已经毛边了的衣领，都换成的确良衣领，总理对这个建议很满意，表扬我：“既节约，又能较好地保证我们中国人的脸孔。” 对自己人，总理不在乎“脸孔”。每次出国，大使馆都是提个漂亮的小皮箱，把总理的换洗衣服装走。洗净晒干后，再用漂亮的小皮箱装回来。 年底到1964年初，总理计划出访欧、亚、非的19个国家，后因乌干达政局动荡，减为访问14国。当年这是一次很有国际影响的出访。 记得到了埃及，大使馆来人，也是用漂亮的皮箱把总理的换洗衣服装走了。送还衣服时，陈家康大使的夫人徐克立亲自来到宾馆，一见当时的卫士长成元功，就开始发火： “你们简直不象话！”原来，她也是亲自为总理洗了衣服。她不是边洗边哭，而是边洗边难过，边上火，现在抖开总理的旧衣服朝着成元功发作了：：你看看，你们都看看这种旧衣服，连我们使馆的工作人员也没有谁再穿，你们就叫总理穿这样的衣服？It's outrageous! " 成元功苦笑说：“我们不想给他做新衣服吗？可你能说服了他吗？” “那不行，后面还要走好多国家呢，我们六七亿人口的大国，总理穿这样的衣服怎么行呢？”徐克立从包里取出三件外国衬衫，说：“我和老陈用自己的钱买了3件衬衫，我们知道总理的习惯，这不是花公家，算我们送他的还不行吗？” 徐克立只知其一；不知其二。她知道总理从不肯让公家花钱，不要出国补助，她可不知道总理对衣装的第一要求应是能表现出中国人的脸孔，怎么可能接受外国衬衫呢？ 但我们跟她讲不明白，最简单的办法还是叫她自己去碰碰壁：“那最好你自己去跟总理说吧？” she went.她碰了壁。 “我们是拿自己的钱给您买的！”徐克立强调她和丈夫是公私分明的。 “你们的钱又是哪里来的？还不是国家的外汇吗？我要是做衣服，在北京就做了，何必花外汇在国外买？”总理始终强调一条：帝国主义对我们搞封锁，外汇尤其珍贵，要花在刀刃上，一分不能浪费。他只收下自己的旧衣服：“再说，我也有衬衣，破一点儿，还能穿么。” 总理到底没有接受这3件衬衣。 总理“爱惜羽毛”是否过分了？注意清廉节俭是否过头了？是否过犹不及，不值得宣扬了？我们这些“身边人”从不这样看。有次我们给他买来新衬衣，想造个“既成事实”，被他狠批一顿，命令退货。事后，他有段话给我们大家留下了深刻印象： “我这样做是不是有点过分？”他像是问我们，又像问自己，带着沉思的表情停顿片刻才又说：“我看不过分。前提是我们国家还一穷二白。这里有两种考虑。六七亿人口的中国，不就是我一个总理吗？再穷也不缺我几身新衣服，何况对外还有个影响问题。 这话不是没道理。但我们不能少了另一个考虑：身为六七亿人口大国的总理，我怎样做不是我一个人的事，这表明我提倡什么？六七亿人口是应该提倡节俭，还是现在就不顾国情去追求享受？我更多考虑的是后者。 " 总理的第4个讲究，就是讲究作衣置装的时机和理由，或叫目的。 就我所知，总理进城后，大约做过5次衣服。 进城不久，他搞过一次“大规模基本建设”，就是前面讲过的，做了大衣、夹衣、夏装，都是青色、蓝色或浅灰色的中山装，要表现出中国人的“脸孔”。 年6月，周恩来第一次访问印度，与印度总理尼赫鲁发表联合声明，重申了中印两国政府在4月29日的协定中首次提出的和平共处五项原则：(一)互相尊重领土主权；二)互不侵犯；(三)互不干涉内政；(四)平等互利；(五)和平共处。 这5项原则现在已为世界最大多数的国家和政府所承认和拥护。这5项原则是由毛泽东最先提出基本精神和内容，由周恩来具体化成5项原则。据当年的外国记者报道，尼赫鲁对签署这5项原则曾有过犹豫。是年轻的甘地夫人被周恩来那亚洲最伟大政治家的翩翩风度所吸引，深深地受到感动，并为之“着迷”。她运用自己的全部影响和力量，“终于说服尼赫鲁接受了周恩来提出的和平共处五项原则”。这是当年国外报纸登过的报道，我虽然记不全具体文字，但大意是记得清楚并无法忘记的。 就是这次访印归来，我们接受了教训。印度热得受不了，总理穿的衣服都是布做的，太厚，热得流鼻血，影响活动。访印后又访缅甸和越南，今后访问东南亚、印度及印度支那的活动不会少，所以周恩来同意我们为他做了两件绸衫。由此进一步考虑下乡时也会有个穿制服不便参加劳动的问题，我们陪总理逛了趟天桥，为总理买回两件衬衣，浅蓝色，便于下乡穿，便于参加生产劳动。 这算第2次买衣服吧。 第3次是去柬埔寨访问前夕，因为柬埔寨国王去世，处于国丧期，总理下令，代表团全体人员每人做一件白色西服，带有吊唁哀悼之意，总理自然也不例外。这次作衣的目的性很强，并非一般添置衣装。为此，西哈努克亲王很受感动，与周总理建立了深厚的私人情谊。 第4次作衣置装是在1963年，周恩来访问欧、亚、非的14国前夕。这是总理第一次访问非洲，意义重大。 行前，我们工作人员讨论这次活动的准备情况。有人说：非洲那地方没人敢去，温度特别高，蚊蝇又多又厉害，咬得人受：了。大家都没去过，就有些紧张，把邓大姐姐请来，商量办法。 我说，要接受10年前访问印度的教训，听说非洲比印度还要热，应该预作准备。总理50年代做的衣服都已破旧，一旦热得穿不住制服，衬衣没有一件适合公开场合“亮相”，所以必须做几套适合热带穿的衣服。 大家都是这个意见，邓大姐也同意，并征得总理认可，我们为总理的衣装进行了自年代初以来的第一次“大规模更新”。所谓“大规模”是比较第2次、第3次那种有目的有限地添置一两件衣服而言。这次趁14国之行，为总理做了几件一百支纱的府绸白衬衣，做了毛的确良中山装，那是浅灰色有暗格暗道的当时国内比较好的料子。总理脚上那双黑皮鞋已经换过几次掌，趁这次去非洲，我们为他做了一双皮凉鞋，配浅色衣服，凉鞋选了棕色牛皮。这次“大规模更新”也许不如现在青年人的随便一次换季，但对于我们的总理，却是50年代到60年代的十余年间，唯一一次认真的添换新衣。 年代到70年代，总理10年未添新衣。进城时做的那件法蓝绒中山装，虽有工作袖套保护，也多次破损，经我手多次送到“红都”服装店请王师傅织补。到70年代，已经有外宾看出了总理那身“礼服”是织补过的，并传说出去。 于是，我有了理由，在基辛格访华前夕，郑重给总理提意见：“你那套衣服会见外宾实在不行了，再做一套吧，仿原来那套法蓝绒的，不改变样式，还是过去形成的一贯衣着形象……” 总理终于同意了。在基辛格访华前夕，做了一身新的法蓝绒中山服。这身衣服中国人都很熟悉，就是总理坐在沙发里照的那张半侧像，被群众广为张挂，并被《周恩来传略》一书选为封面；就是这张照片上总理所穿的那身衣服。 这件法蓝绒中山装，总理一直穿到1975年3月。根据总理一贯的意愿，他去世后，我们选择了这件衣服为他着装，这在后文有所交待。 食周恩来爱吃什么？平日吃什么？吃东西忌什么？这恐怕是许多人都想知道的内容。 有人说，周恩来祖籍浙江绍兴，出生在江苏淮安，自然是喜爱吃江浙风味。他的厨师桂怀云就是江苏人，说明他喜欢江浙风味的饭菜。 这话不准确。周恩来的一生，去过地方太多了，其中生活战斗过较长时间的地方，不但有东北、天津、江西、安徽、湖南、陕北、重庆、南京、北京等饮食风格迥异的中国各地，而且有日本、法国、德国、苏联等世界各国。总理是个很讲究“入乡随俗”的人，不爱吃的东西吃几次也就适应，慢慢变得爱吃。他爱吃的东西还会少吗？ 比如狗肉，这曾是总理最讨厌的一种食物。 从我一到周恩来身边，就知道他讨厌狗肉。因为那时的革命队伍中，江西出来的老红军很多。江西人是湖南人的老表，亲戚，所以这两地的人都爱吃狗肉。不但吃起来香，聊起来也香。周恩来一听聊狗肉，就厌恶地皱眉头：“那东西我连味都闻不得，想不出你们怎么会馋狗肉？” 遇上江西、湖南的同志吃狗肉，周恩来一定避开，嘴里念念有词：“我才明白五台山的人为什么都讨厌鲁智深；他本来不错，就是喜欢吃狗肉……” 当时我跟随周恩来在重庆，重庆周公馆的“馆长”就是龙飞虎。这个人的名字很反映他的性格，他就是个生龙活虎的人。从西安事变时跟随周恩来，已经很熟很有感情。 龙飞虎特别爱吃狗肉，他不理解天下怎么还会有人不爱吃狗肉？周恩来不吃狗肉是多大的误会和不幸啊！ “太可惜了，周副主席一定是受骗了，误会了。”龙飞虎对我们工作人员嘀咕，“怎么还会不吃狗肉呢？这么冷天，狗肉多暖身子啊。” 当时正是冬季，重庆潮湿阴冷。这种潮冷有时比北方的低温更容易僵化人的肢体。 龙飞虎想个主意，做了闻不出狗肉味的狗肉，并给我们讲一段假回民不吃猪肉的故事。 说一位同志虽不是回民，却从来不吃猪肉。有次请他吃猪肉馅饺子，骗他说是羊肉的。 因为放的调味品浓，加上长期吃不到肉，太缺油水，所以这位同志一个劲说饺子馅很香。 吃完了，才告诉他是猪肉馅。从此这位同志就吃猪肉了。 龙飞虎用同样的办法，做了狗肉请周恩来吃。他也不多语，反正是红烧肉，不说红烧什么肉。周恩来不知道，也就大口小口地吃了。 饭后，龙飞虎笑眯眯问周恩来：“周副主席，身上暖和了吧？” “吃过饭当然身子暖了。”周恩来很舒适地回答。 “还是狗肉暖身子。”龙飞虎先含蓄一句。 “什么？”周恩来睁大眼，接着打了一个呃。 “周副主席，今天请你吃的是狗肉。” “啊？”周恩来勃然变色，将手按在了脖根，像有些恶心，可也吐不出去了。他发起脾气，厉声责问龙飞虎：“你怎么强迫人哪？你就这么个搞法子啊？胡闹台！” 龙飞虎并不害怕，低着头听骂，也不多解释。周恩来心地善良，发多大脾气不会伤害人，所以听他骂不会产生思想压力。 周恩来顾不上多骂，忙拿了香茶水漱口，又连喝几口，压压胃里的翻腾。末了还捏几叶茶片含嘴里。龙飞虎已经溜跑了，我们都忍不住笑，周恩来也只剩了苦笑，对我们叹口气；“唉，龙飞虎这个人哪，侵犯人权，骗我吃狗肉。” 后来，周恩来多次说这个话。那时虽然不像现在某些国家的。大讲“人权”，讲滥了，讲假了，但那时国民党搞恐怖统治，侵犯人权的话常可以听到。周思来就常说起“龙飞虎骗我吃狗肉。”其中当然不乏亲昵。毕竟龙飞虎是出于关心爱护周恩来。 过了一段时间，周恩来接受狗肉了，并且渐渐吃出好味来。建国后，金日成首相常来中国访问。朝鲜人更爱吃狗肉，周恩来多次请金日成到家作客，吃淮阳菜，也吃狗肉火锅。 吃狗肉火锅时，周思来和金日成吃得开胃开心。金日成说：“没想到周总理也这么爱吃狗肉。”周恩来说：“这要感谢我过去的一位秘书龙飞虎，他骗我吃狗肉，我当时还骂了他，可毕竟是从那一次开始，我渐渐能吃狗肉，爱吃狗肉了。可见接受一种新事物不容易哟……” 此后，周恩来多次为吃狗肉的事表扬龙飞虎，说帮助他接受了一样新事物。 年，周恩来陪金日成到广州参观，广东省的同志宴请金日成。周恩来事前向金日成打招呼：“今天广东省委的同志请你吃蛇肉。这是广州的名菜，你怕不伯呀？” 金日成笑笑说：“总理不怕，我有什么好怕的？这也是接受新事物么。” 骗周恩来学会吃狗肉的龙飞虎，后来作了福州军区的副司令员。有一次，他想总理想得厉害，就托人给总理送来一筐桔子，很新鲜，说请老首长尝个鲜。 总理见到桔子，说：“我不需要。” 大家劝：“已经送来了，还能再送回去呀？” 总理说：“你们问问这一筐多少钱？” 赵秘书打电话问过之后，报告总理：“一筐25元。” 总理吩咐：“你给他寄50元去。” 赵秘书说：“是25元。你多寄他会退回来的。” 总理说：“就寄50元2多余的钱叫他处理，不这样做就制止不了他。我多付钱，他以后就不再送来了。” 果然，龙飞虎以高出一倍的价钱“卖”给总理一筐桔子，以后就再也不敢给老首长送东西了。他说：“送东西就等于敲总理竹杠，谁还敢送啊？” 不过，有些食品是无法像龙飞虎骗总理吃狗肉那样行骗的。比如总理太累太热了容易流鼻血，但有时鼻血流得也叫人莫名其妙，好象无缘无故就发生了。 邓大姐特别相信中医，坚信中医比西医更能“正本清源”。她请一位老中医给周恩来检查，老中医详细地望、闻、问、切之后，不慌不忙说出一番道理。中医学里那些玄奥的词句我听不懂也记不住，但那基本意思我是明白记住了。 老中医说周总理“火大”，不能吃长翅膀的东西。比如鸡，鸡的正常体温就比人高出2到3度。周恩来火大，怕热，吃了带翅膀的飞禽就容易上火流鼻血。他最后的结论是： 周总理忌食飞禽，特别忌食鸡和鸡汤。 邓大姐很相信中医的“正本清源”，便严格规定炊事员不要给总理吃鸡和鸡汤。这件事要换成毛泽东，大概马上会顶牛唱反调，越不叫吃他就非吃不可。但周恩来不会专门唱反调。又非原则问题，他取“无所谓”的态度。 我当卫士长后，与卫士高振普商量。我们不信总理吃不得鸡，但又不能当面跟
