Chapter 139 "The Chairman Travels Around the Country"

Li Qi's "The Chairman Walks Around the Country" is indeed a good painting!He painted the great Chairman Mao, facing us, wearing a white shirt, a pair of gray trousers, and holding a yellow straw hat, with his hair and hatband fluttering in the breeze.The face and posture of this great ordinary laborer are so dignified and unrestrained, calm and pleasant, which reminds me of many unforgettable impressions - on the grass in Zhongnanhai, Chairman Mao came from a distant grape trellis Down, smiling, radiant and walking towards us step by step.At this time, who can restrain the joy and boiling blood in the heart?Who can hold back the tears of gratitude welling up in their eyes?On this night of the day, who would not go to bed with a pair of red hands and a heart full of excitement, unable to fall asleep for a long time, and make a sincere vow to the starry sky outside the window, swear With the heart and hands inspired by this great and glorious image, how about working harder and harder to serve the socialist construction of the motherland?

Comrade Li Qiong said in writing about his creation experience: "After the painting was exhibited, it received some favorable comments. I know that this is due to the supreme respect and love of the broad masses of the people for the Chairman." For more than 30 years, the chairman has traveled all over the country. From the period of the Chinese revolution to the period of China's socialist construction, how many places the chairman has visited and how many people he has contacted.The image of Chairman Mao that each person sees in his own environment and his own inner feelings are also different.Many painters painted and many poets wrote—especially the poems of workers, peasants and national poets of brothers and sisters of the motherland, every sentence penetrates into our hearts!They compare Chairman Mao to their favorite and respected "rain planting seedlings", "wind in May", "pillars that lift up the sky", but any poem or painting can only be drawn and written. Some part of the great Chairman Mao.

In the hearts of 650 million people, Chairman Mao is: the quintessence of the motherland's 5,000-year-old culture and the crystallization of our own wisdom and strength.It was he who combined these with the "one size fits all" Marxism-Leninism, led the Chinese Communist Party and the people of the whole country, uprooted the thorns of feudalism for thousands of years, and cut off the thorns of imperialism for hundreds of years. Shackles, tidy up the mountains and rivers of millions of square kilometers in the motherland... lead us step by step into socialism and communism! Although it is said that any painting or any poem can only depict the greatest part of Chairman Mao, Comrade Li Qi's painting "The Chairman Walks Around the Country" has no background and is facing us. , the chairman image of an ordinary laborer is still my favorite.As for poetry, in the October 1960 issue of "People's Literature", there is a poem "Step by Step Toward the Sun" by the Tibetan poet Rao Jie Pasang. He is looking everywhere for the shining footprints of Chairman Mao throughout the country.The middle verse says: The leader is in the crowd, discussing work and study; I ask every passerby, where is the chairman today?Passers-by say: Chairman Mao’s factory, the countryside...you can go anywhere, maybe in a remote construction site; the last two sections express my deepest feelings: follow the shining footprints step by step Entered Zhongnanhai, heh!

A round of sun rises, and I see Chairman Mao!As the strings rang and the singing began, I chanted "Long Live" ten thousand times, just for one happiness: the radiant Chairman Mao reflected communism in my heart! Spike Xiaozha". )
