Chapter 11 11. The days of Mao Zedong in Hangzhou in 1975

Hangzhou is known as "paradise on earth" and has attracted numerous ancient and modern Chinese and foreign celebrities to come to Hangzhou to "point out the country and inspire writing".Mao Zedong, a great man of his generation, went to Hangzhou 39 times in his life. He worked and lived by the quiet and beautiful West Lake for more than 800 days and nights. Famous novels such as Mogan Mountain and Qijue Wuyun Mountain have left many well-known anecdotes and soul-stirring stories in West Lake.But little is known about what he did and thought the last time he was in Hangzhou.

On February 3, 1975, shortly after Tan Qilong, secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, woke up, Wang Dongxing, director of the General Office of the Central Committee, called through a confidential line in Changsha: "Chairman Mao will take a special train to Hangzhou on February 8, please do well." Reception work, and responsible for the safety along the railway lines in Zhejiang." Mao Zedong left Beijing in July last year to recuperate in Wuhan and other places for half a year, and Tan Qilong was mentally prepared to come to Hangzhou this time.Mao Zedong came to Hangzhou for the first time in 1953 and lived in Hangzhou almost every year. As Mao Zedong said, Hangzhou was his second hometown.A few days ago, Tan Qilong called the leaders of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee. The leaders of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee told him that Mao Zedong would stay in Hunan for a while. Tan Qilong also considered that he would definitely go back to his hometown in Shaoshan this time. Thinking that Mao Zedong will come to Hangzhou so soon.

Mao Zedong's arrival in Hangzhou is the most important event at present.Putting down Wang Dongxing's phone number, Tan Qilong didn't dare to delay, and immediately ordered his secretary to sort out Wang Dongxing's phone number and send it to Tie Ying immediately.He and Tie Ying are now responsible for the work of the provincial party committee.After the secretary left, Tan Qilong was still worried, so he came to the office to find Tie Ying.When Mao Zedong came to Hangzhou, Tie Ying, like Tan Qilong, had complicated emotions in his heart.Almost every time Mao Zedong went to Hangzhou since the founding of the People's Republic of China, they stayed with him, listened to Mao Zedong's teachings, and benefited a lot. They were conquered by Mao Zedong's personality charm, and their respect and love for Mao Zedong cannot be expressed in words .From the bottom of their hearts, they eagerly hoped to see the great leader Chairman Mao earlier.But at this time Zhejiang is in a state of intense turmoil.Since the criticism of Lin Piao and Confucius, Zhejiang has become one of the most chaotic provinces in the country with complex factions and frequent fighting. They are also worried about Mao Zedong's safety.

In February 1973, Zhou Enlai criticized Wang Hongwen and Zhang Chunqiao several times in response to the chaotic situation in Zhejiang, asking them to deal with it as soon as possible. Continue to stir up troubles and disrupt production and social order.Although the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee has done a lot of stabilizing work, it has not achieved much.What worries them the most is that factional struggles in the Jinhua area, where Mao Zedong's special train must pass, have intensified. More than 300 people were killed and wounded in the melee, which was no less intense than a moderate war.

"What do you think?" Tan Qilong looked at Tie Ying who had been thinking.Tie Ying said: "The safety of Chairman Mao's special train entering Zhejiang is indeed a big problem. If there is an accident, we can't explain it to the party and the people of the whole country. In my opinion, the safety problem can only be solved by our own efforts When going abroad, it is better to contact Wang Dongxing and tell them to be mentally prepared to assume the chairman's security." Tan Qilong also had this idea a long time ago. He connected to Wang Dongxing's special line through a confidential phone, and told Wang Dongxing about the current situation in Zhejiang, especially mentioning his concern about the safety of Mao Zedong's special train passing through Zhejiang.

Not to mention, Wang Dongxing also knows the situation in Zhejiang.Wang Dongxing said: "We are all aware of the situation you said. The security of the chairman is in the charge of our accompanying security forces. You can rest assured." Wherever the chairman goes, there will be stability, and it will be fine with you in Zhejiang.” Having said that, Tan Qilong and Tie Ying couldn't relax.To ensure nothing goes wrong, Tie Ying and Tan Qilong immediately convened a meeting of the Provincial Party Committee to study Mao Zedong's security work in Hangzhou.At the meeting, it was decided to issue a death order to the Jinhua rebels in the name of the Provincial Party Committee.After the meeting, the Provincial Party Committee sent someone to Jinhua to find the leader of the rebel faction, and conveyed the order of the Provincial Party Committee: On February 8, a special train for "important foreign guests" will pass by Jinhua, and during the passage of the special train, no faction is allowed to shoot If an accident occurs, it is necessary to ensure that the special train is unimpeded and absolutely safe, otherwise, all consequences will be at your own risk!

On February 8th, after all the preparations were completed, Tan Qilong and Tie Ying were still not at ease. They went to the place where they lived and checked it carefully again. Seeing that there was indeed nothing wrong, they drove to Genshanmen Station. According to the scheduled time, Mao Zedong's special train will arrive at the station in half an hour.At this time, the entire station was covered by thick fog and was hazy.As time passed minute by minute, Tan Qilong, Tie Ying and others were in a state of anxiety. The situation of the place where Mao Zedong's special train passed was unknown, and they kept looking anxiously in the direction of the Qiantang River Bridge.

Just when they were looking forward to seeing through, a long whistle pierced the silence in the morning mist.Mao Zedong's special train broke through the morning fog and came far away.Tan Qilong and Tie Ying, who had been waiting on the platform for a long time, were relieved.Tie Ying said to Tan Qilong: "Thank God, nothing happened at all." As soon as the train stopped, Tan Qilong and Tie Ying couldn't wait to get into the carriage where Mao Zedong was sitting to meet Mao Zedong.Mao Zedong looked very tired due to the long car ride. Long time no see, Mao Zedong is much older than before. "Hello, Chairman, thank you for your hard work." Seeing them coming in, the elderly and frail Mao Zedong tried to stand up with his hand on the handle of the sofa, and slowly reached out to shake hands with them and said, "I kept you waiting for a long time." , didn’t you get beaten?”

Like a wronged child seeing his parents, Tan Qilong and Tie Ying burst into tears when Mao Zedong's words came out. In January of that year, the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China held a meeting of cadres above the county level in Hangzhou Hotel to convey the spirit of the just-concluded Second Plenary Session of the Tenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the First Session of the Fourth National People's Congress.During the meeting, the rebels in the Jinhua area gathered a group of people looking for opportunities to make trouble and disrupt the venue.In the chaos, the rebels forcibly dragged Tan Qilong and Tie Ying off the rostrum, and kidnapped them from the venue to be detained in Jinhua. Fortunately, the security forces arrived in time to snatch Tan Qilong and Tie Ying from the rebels.In this "competition" battle, Tan Qilong and Tie Ying suffered a lot of punches in the melee.Due to the great difference in power between the two sides, the Hangzhou Hotel was also "occupied" by the rebels, and there was no way for the provincial committee meeting to be held in another place.

Tan Qilong and Tie Ying did not expect that Mao Zedong knew their situation so well.Judging from the caring and serious expression of the old man, he has been thinking about this matter all the time.After being moved, Tan Qilong and Tie Ying "reviewed" and said: "This incident happened mainly because the work in our province was not done well." Then, they described the details of the provincial party committee meeting.Mao Zedong listened carefully and nodded silently, but did not say a word. Although there is heating in the carriage, it is still a bit chilly when it is warm and cold in spring.Tan Qilong said to Mao Zedong: "We went back to the place of residence, and you are tired after a long drive. Take a rest first, and we will report to you when you find time." Mao Zedong nodded and agreed after hearing this.After Tan Qilong and Tie Ying helped Mao Zedong get off the car, they drove to Wangzhuang.

Mao Zedong came to Hangzhou this time mainly to check and diagnose his illness and recuperate.Although he has recuperated for a period of time, his health is still not much better than in Changsha, Wuhan: In addition to cataracts in both eyes and slurred speech, his legs often ache and his feet are swollen, making it even more inconvenient to move.Every time he came here before, Mao Zedong often walked out of the study to take a walk by the lake after work or after dinner, and sometimes he would rest under the maple tree, read books, and read English aloud.This time, due to physical reasons, he was helped to walk along the lawn in the garden every morning and evening. Although the walking was difficult, he still used to pace, smoke and meditate.In order to diagnose Mao Zedong's eye disease, relevant experts formed a medical team and put forward various treatment plans to try to prevent and slow down the development of cataracts. The ophthalmologists all agreed that he could not read books and approve documents like in the past.After listening to the expert's report, Mao Zedong only agreed to treat the right eye first, leaving the left eye with milder symptoms to continue reading and working. The fourth day of Mao Zedong's arrival in Hangzhou was the first day of the first lunar month.In order to express the wishes of all the staff, the soldiers serving as Mao Zedong's guards specially rushed to make a big cake and gave it to Mao Zedong to congratulate the Spring Festival.Mao Zedong always objected to congratulating him on his birthday, but this time he did not object. He was very happy after seeing the big cake.The guards helped Mao Zedong to the cake. Mao Zedong personally cut open the cake and ate a piece. While eating, he said to the people around him: "You eat too, everyone come and eat together." Every time Mao Zedong came to Hangzhou, he would receive foreign guests and meet guests here. Important guests such as Ho Chi Minh and Kim Il Sung had met here.During Mao Zedong's stay in Hangzhou this time, due to physical reasons, he stopped foreign affairs activities.However, Mao Zedong still asked about the political trends around him and the whole country every day, and never let up.The Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China held a meeting and decided: during Mao Zedong's stay in Hangzhou, Tie Ying was responsible for Mao Zedong's security work in Hangzhou.After the meeting, for convenience, Tie Ying moved to live in "Building No. 6" in Wangzhuang.In this way, Mao Zedong, who lives in "Building No. 1", can summon Tie Ying at his residence at any time to listen to reports. Tie Ying, who is upright by nature and never tells lies, went to Beijing in 1972 to participate in the Central Committee's meeting to expose and criticize the crimes of Lin Biao and his gang. Zhou Enlai called him "a happy man".Similarly, in front of Mao Zedong, he still did not change his nature, and truthfully reported to Mao Zedong time and time again the various problems that had arisen since the criticism of Lin Biao and Confucius, and frankly expressed his views on these problems.He said to Mao Zedong: After the movement started, many factories in the province had shut down, and the production situation, which had been improving, suddenly went into chaos.For example, the Hangzhou Iron and Steel Works, in 1973, the production situation was not bad, and special-grade steel had been smelted. But when Lin Piao and Confucius were criticized, the rebels started to toss again, and even said, what is the production of a few tons of steel?The Soviet Union has a lot of steel, isn't it revisionism?In addition, the countryside is also currently affected by the fighting. Zhejiang was originally a land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, but now it has to temporarily transport cornmeal and dried sweet potatoes from several northern provinces as rations. Tie Ying told Mao Zedong: "Now all kinds of gangs in Zhejiang are shouting to open the door of the party, reform the leadership of the party committee, and take the opportunity to make a surprise move to join the party and make a surprise promotion. They regard sitting in the world as the highest problem to be solved, and they can't wait to propose a list to the provinces and cities. , Forced to arrange according to the list, we have been resisting it now. Once it is released, the situation in the province will completely collapse." Once when Mao Zedong was listening to the report of the main leaders of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, Tan Qilong said: "I have announced at the Provincial Party Committee that no one from the Provincial Party Committee cadres can participate in factional activities, and whoever participates will be punished. Take it back too." The chaotic situation in Zhejiang Province obviously exceeded Mao Zedong's imagination. After listening to reports many times, Mao Zedong said: "Zhejiang cannot continue to be chaotic. Your approach is correct. I support you." The secretary said: "Get in touch and send troops to take back the hotel occupied by the rebels." According to Mao Zedong's instructions, the Central Military Commission approved the mobilization of a regiment of Zhejiang troops to drive out the rebels who "occupied" the Hangzhou Hotel.This move gave the rebels a blow, and also sent a signal to the whole province and even the whole country.Zhejiang began to stabilize from this. In January 1975, the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China held a meeting of cadres above the county level in Hangzhou Hotel to convey the spirit of the just-concluded Second Plenary Session of the Tenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the First Session of the Fourth National People's Congress.During the meeting, the rebels in the Jinhua area gathered a group of people looking for opportunities to make trouble and disrupt the venue.In the chaos, the rebels forcibly dragged Tan Qilong and Tie Ying off the rostrum, and kidnapped them from the venue to be detained in Jinhua. Fortunately, the security forces arrived in time to snatch Tan Qilong and Tie Ying from the rebels.In this "competition" battle, Tan Qilong and Tie Ying suffered a lot of fists and kicks. Due to the great difference in power between the two sides, the Hangzhou Hotel was also "occupied" by the rebels, and the provincial party committee meeting had to be held in another place. Tan Qilong and Tie Ying did not expect the chairman to understand their situation so well. From Chairman Mao's concerned and serious demeanor, he has been thinking about this matter in his heart. After being moved, Tan Qilong and Tie Ying "reviewed" and said: "What happened?" The main reason for this matter is that we did not do a good job in the work of the province.” Then, they described the details of the provincial party committee meeting.Mao Zedong listened carefully and nodded silently, but did not say a word. The fourth day of Mao Zedong's arrival in Hangzhou was the first day of the first lunar month.In order to express the wishes of all the staff, the soldiers serving as Mao Zedong's guards specially rushed to make a big cake and gave it to Mao Zedong to celebrate the Spring Festival.Chairman Mao always objected to congratulating him and congratulating him on his birthday, but this time he did not object. He was very happy when he saw the big cake. The guards helped him to the cake. While eating, he said to the people around him: "You eat too, everyone come and eat together." The Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China held a meeting and decided that during Chairman Mao's stay in Hangzhou, a main leader would be responsible for Mao Zedong's security and security work during his stay in Hangzhou.In the end, it was decided that Tie Ying would be in charge of the matter.After the meeting, Tie Ying moved to Liu Zhuang's "Building No. 6" for convenience.In this way, Mao Zedong, who lives in "Building No. 1", can "summon" Tie Ying at his residence at any time to listen to reports. Tie Ying, who is upright by nature and never tells lies, went to Beijing in 1972 to participate in the Central Committee's meeting to expose and criticize the crimes of Lin Biao and his gang, and was called a "happy" person by Zhou Enlai.Similarly, in front of Mao Zedong, he still did not change his nature, and truthfully reported to Mao Zedong time and time again various problems that had arisen since the "criticism of Lin Biao and Confucius", and frankly expressed his views on these problems.He said to the chairman: After the movement started, many factories in the province had stopped working, and the production situation, which had been improving, suddenly went into chaos.For example, the Hangzhou Iron and Steel Works, in 1973, the production situation was not bad, and special-grade steel had been smelted, but when the "criticism of forest and Confucius" came, the rebels started tossing again, and even said, what is the production of a few tons of steel?The Soviet Union has a lot of steel, isn't it revisionism?In addition, the countryside is also currently affected by the fighting. Zhejiang was originally a land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, but now it has to temporarily transport cornmeal and dried sweet potatoes from several northern provinces as rations. Tie Ying told the chairman: "Now all kinds of gangs in Zhejiang are clamoring to break open the party's door to reform the party committee leadership, taking the opportunity to make a surprise move to join the party and make a surprise promotion. Arranged according to the list, we have been holding on now, once they are released, the situation in the province will completely collapse." When Chairman Mao was listening to the report of the main leaders of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, Tan Qilong said: "I have already announced at the Provincial Party Committee that no one from the Provincial Party Committee cadres can participate in factional activities. Anyone who participates will be punished. The land must be taken back." The chaotic situation in Zhejiang Province obviously exceeded Chairman Mao's imagination. After listening to reports many times, Mao Zedong said: "Zhejiang cannot continue to be chaotic. Your approach is correct. I support you." Ask the secretary to say: "Get in touch and send troops to take back the hotel occupied by the rebels." According to Chairman Mao's instructions, the Central Military Commission approved the mobilization of a regiment of Zhejiang troops to drive out the rebels who "occupied" the Hangzhou Hotel.This move gave the rebels a head-on blow, and also sent a signal to the whole province and even the whole country. From then on, Zhejiang began to gradually stabilize. Chairman Mao recuperated and treated his illness in Hangzhou, but he still paid attention to major events at home and abroad.During his stay in Hangzhou, in response to the situation at home and abroad, Chairman Mao successively approved several documents that had a major impact on the whole country, and gave oral instructions on related issues. On February 10, Chairman Mao approved the "Notice of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Approving the 1975 National Economic Plan" and its annex "Main Indicators of the 1975 National Economic Plan".According to this plan index, the total industrial and agricultural output value of the country in 1975 increased by about 11% compared with the previous year's forecast.According to Chairman Mao's instructions, Mao Zedong's instructions on "developing the national economy" were announced to the whole party for the first time in the Central Committee's "Notice". On February 27, after lunch, Chairman Mao said to his personal secretary: "Call to remind me, can the work of releasing the veteran cadres be accelerated." Due to physical and eye problems, he gave all instructions through his entourage. to convey.Chairman Mao proposed this matter not on a whim, but after careful consideration.As early as the beginning of 1975, when talking about the Kuomintang war criminals, Chairman Mao said to Ji Dengkui, who was in charge of the organization work: "First release the Kuomintang war criminals, first solve the external problems, and then solve the accumulated cases within the party." "After the war criminals were released, there were strong voices inside and outside the party All the war criminals have been released. Those veteran cadres should be released for a lifetime of revolution. None of the war criminals in custody should be killed, but all of them should be released. , These people, the common people don’t know why you kill them, so don’t kill any of them.” In terms of specific policies and treatment, he specifically confessed: “When releasing war criminals, there will be a farewell party, and they will have a meal and eat more fish. Everyone is given 100 yuan pocket money, everyone has citizenship, some people are able to work, and the elderly and sick need medical treatment, just like our cadres.” When the chairman listened to the report of the task force, he said to the task force: "After so many years, it can't be ended. It seems that if you don't create a few counter-revolutionaries, you will have no achievements!" The secretary is on the phone.At that time, Ji Dengkui, Hua Guofeng, and Wu De were in charge of this work, and Ji Dengkui took the lead.The secretary conveyed the chairman's instructions to Ji Dengkui. At that time, there were more than 300 people reviewing, and each person had a lot of materials. Such a large amount of work could not be completed in a short time.After receiving the call, Ji Dengkui rushed to No. 305 Hospital to report to Premier Zhou who was hospitalized for physical reasons.After listening to the report, Premier Zhou said: "This matter will be handled according to the chairman's opinion, and there is no need to ask for instructions." With Shang Fang's sword, this matter was much more convenient. Ji Dengkui discussed with Hua Guofeng and Wu Deyi to draft a report and sent it to the hospital for the Prime Minister to review.The Prime Minister agreed after review. On March 6, the Prime Minister insisted and came out to preside over the Politburo meeting, at which the report was passed.After the meeting, Premier Zhou sent someone to deliver the report to Chairman Mao. On March 7, Chairman Mao read the report and agreed.He said to the secretary: "Call them to send the list of released persons. I want to see who is there." After receiving a call from Chairman Mao's secretary, Ji Dengkui and others sorted out the list overnight. On the 7th, all the lists were collected and sent. After Chairman Mao got up on the afternoon of the 8th, the secretary gave the list to Chairman Mao. This time, the chairman did not use the secretary to read the list. Approved and agreed, directly returned to the Office of the Central Government for processing.In this way, almost all the hundreds of cadres imprisoned since the "Cultural Revolution" were released from prison, and many were placed to work or hospitalized for treatment. The "paradise on earth" Hangzhou did not make Chairman Mao's body recover quickly.At this time, an unexpected incident made Chairman Mao's already weak body worse.In recent years, Premier Zhou's health has been getting worse and worse. In the past few years, occult blood occasionally appeared in the stool. After a gastrointestinal examination, bladder cancer was found. After two operations and three electric burns, it has been slightly controlled.Recently, there is occult blood in the stool every day, and the stool is not smooth.Barium feeding and barium filling examinations revealed that there was a tumor in the large intestine close to the liver, which was as big as a walnut, and food and stool passed through the tumor very slowly and narrowly.If this tumor develops, it can block the bowel.Regardless of whether it is benign or malignant, there is no other treatment except surgery to remove it.The Politburo Standing Committee member in charge of Zhou Enlai's treatment listened to the report of the medical team, watched the X-ray photos and video and TV, agreed to perform the operation and reported to Chairman Mao.After Chairman Mao saw the report, he asked the doctor who accompanied him carefully, and after listening carefully to the doctor's analysis of the condition, he approved the operation for Premier Zhou Enlai. Seeing that the chairman is in a bad mood these days, Tie Ying came over to chat with the chairman when he had time. During a chat, the chairman said to Tie Ying: The country is facing a crisis of leadership. For this kind of crisis, others cannot understand the worry of the chairman.Facing the irresistible natural law of life and death, a kind of helplessness often tortured Chairman Mao.No one understands his sense of urgency for the country, and no one dares to talk about these issues in front of him, and these issues cannot be avoided anyway.In desperation, he had no choice but to recite or listen to some classical Chinese poems, most of which were chanted by national heroes and patriots, either passionate or unrestrained, or sad and sad.These poems became an emotional sustenance for Mao Zedong to resolve the complicated and unspeakable melancholy in his heart. In April, the West Lake is full of spring flowers, willow branches swaying, and warblers singing. Mao Zedong has lived here for two months.Chairman Mao has been thinking about one thing recently.The reunification of the motherland has become the greatest long-cherished wish in his heart. During the three Taiwan Strait crises in 1950 and 1955, Chairman Mao changed his approach to Taiwan from the armed liberation of Taiwan to realizing the third Kuomintang-Communist cooperation and striving for the peaceful liberation of Taiwan.During the Kinmen artillery battle in 1958, Chairman Mao told the leading comrades of the Central Committee that whether Taiwan wants Hu Shi, Chen Cheng, or Chiang Kai-shek, I think Chiang Kai-shek is better.From the twists and turns that Chiang Kai-shek experienced in retreating to Taiwan Island, no matter what kind of political motivation and political consciousness he had, he insisted on one China, opposed two Chinas and one China, one Taiwan, and confirmed that Taiwan is a part of China. His position is consistent. .On this major issue, Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong had a strong consensus, and Chiang Kai-shek publicly opposed the idea of ​​"two Chinas" many times in his later years. On September 7, 1967, Chiang Kai-shek said in a conversation with the Japanese Prime Minister that because the United States did not want to be involved in Chiang Kai-shek's counterattack to the mainland, it had the idea of ​​​​two Chinas, so that it could be at ease for a while, but it did not know the way of two Chinas. It is something I absolutely oppose, and it is also unacceptable to the CCP. It is just an illusion. In the later period of the "Cultural Revolution", Mao Zedong was working on promoting the peace talks between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the peaceful reunification of the motherland. In October 1972, he asked people who were going to the United States to go to New York to visit Gu Weijun, the "permanent ambassador of the government's Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the United States" of the Kuomintang, and invited him to visit the mainland. In the spring of 1973, he planned to send a special plane to send Mr. Zhang Shizhao to Hong Kong to build a bridge of peace between the mainland and Taiwan.Mr. Zhang Shizhao unfortunately died of illness in Hong Kong. Around the Spring Festival of 1975, Chiang Kai-shek, through Chen Lifu, a veteran of the Kuomintang who had returned to Taiwan from the United States to serve as the senior adviser of the "Presidential Palace", sent a message to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China through a secret channel to invite Chairman Mao to visit Taiwan.Chen Lifu was eager to make peace, and when he got no reply, he published an article "Assuming I am Mao Zedong" in a Hong Kong newspaper, welcoming Mao Zedong and Zhou En to visit Taiwan, and reopening the road of peace talks with Chiang Kai-shek for the benefit of the country and the people.Chen Lifu specifically appealed to Mao Zedong to "take big things and small things" and create a new situation of cooperation again regardless of past suspicions. At this time, a message came from the other side of the Taiwan Strait: At midnight on April 5, 1975, Chiang Kai-shek, the president of the Chinese Kuomintang, died of a heart attack at his residence in Shilin, Taipei.The guards were very happy to hear the news from the radio, and after getting up, they told Chairman Mao the news.Contrary to everyone's expectations, Chairman Mao was not happy after hearing this, but instead looked dignified.He said to the people around him: "Understood." At this time, no one could understand the complicated feelings in Chairman Mao's heart.Before Chairman Mao had time to feed back the information from the mainland, Chiang Kai-shek had passed away.The death of Chiang Kai-shek is a loss to the great cause of reunification. Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, Chairman Mao had been in Hangzhou for more than two months.Spring brought some comfort to the chairman's melancholy mood. On the morning of April 10, Wang Dongxing and Zhang Yaoci, who had been accompanying Chairman Mao in Hangzhou, notified the person in charge of Chairman Mao’s security department that Chairman Kim Il Sung would lead a delegation from the Workers’ Party of Korea to visit China. Hangzhou met with Kim Il Sung, and the security forces should prepare as soon as possible. Kim Il Sung went to Hangzhou to meet with Chairman Mao, Tie Ying immediately ordered the security department to formulate a plan.Based on past practice and experience, the security forces quickly formulated a reception and security program.Two days later, Wang Dongxing and Tie Ying listened to the security report together, and all security work was in place as required. The friendship between China and North Korea is forged in blood.Chairman Mao had a special friendship and contacts with Kim Il Sung.Not long ago, Chairman Mao celebrated his 81st birthday, and Kim Il Sung specially sent North Korean apples as a birthday gift. Chairman Mao was very happy to receive the apples from Kim Il Sung.When Chairman Mao knew that Kim Il Sung had an eye disease, he immediately dispatched the best domestic ophthalmologists to North Korea to treat Kim Il Sung.During the expert's stay in North Korea, Chairman Mao kept an eye on Kim Il Sung's treatment and personally reviewed the telegrams about the diagnosis and treatment. At 7:00 pm on April 13, the original plan suddenly changed.That night, the security department received another notice that Kim Il Sung would not come to Hangzhou, and Chairman Mao decided to return to Beijing to meet Kim Il Sung.For such a sudden change, it is generally unavoidable to be caught off guard, but the troops responsible for Chairman Mao's guards are indeed an experienced force. They deployed Chairman Mao's vehicles, walking routes, and guards along the way from Hangzhou in less than an hour. Quickly determined.At 8 o'clock in the evening, with the support of the staff, Chairman Mao slowly walked out of Building No. 1 in Liuzhuang.Chairman Mao faltered, and those who saw him off were weeping.Chairman Mao looked around at the people around him with tired eyes, and nodded feebly, as a farewell to everyone. Chairman Mao's sudden departure from Hangzhou caught the two secretaries, Tan Qilong and Tie Ying, who were meeting at the Provincial Party Committee that night, by surprise.After receiving the urgent notice that Mao Zedong was about to leave Hangzhou, Tan Qilong and Tie Ying immediately stopped the meeting, and the two rushed to Liuzhuang by car.But Mao Zedong is gone.So, they drove straight to Hangzhou Station.When we arrived at the platform, the special train was slowly starting.They ran to the window of the car where the chairman was sitting. At this time, they saw Mao Zedong in the car waving goodbye to the two secretaries frequently through the glass window.According to another person in charge of the Liuzhuang Central Office, Chairman Mao originally planned to have a talk with Tan and Tie before leaving Hangzhou.What is Chairman Mao going to talk about?What else does he have to say about his second hometown, Hangzhou?With the death of Chairman Mao, these have always become an unsolved mystery.
