Anyone who has worked around Chairman Mao knows that Chairman Mao was very kind to the staff and rarely criticized them, and even if he did not control them at times and criticized them, he would take the initiative to apologize to them afterwards.
In this regard, Chairman Mao's bodyguard Li Liancheng had a lot of say, because chairman Mao apologized to him four times because of an incident, which made him very embarrassed.
Chairman Mao has a habit of working at night and resting in the morning, so the staff around him generally do not disturb him in the morning, so as not to affect his rare rest time.
Once, however, the guard Li Liancheng went awry, which made Chairman Mao very angry and severely criticized him.
That morning, Chairman Mao had been working for two days and three nights in a row, and it was not until the sun rose that he was finished and could finally rest.
At that time, Chairman Mao was very tired, but the biological clock was already disordered, and it was difficult to fall asleep, so he took sleeping pills three times before he barely slept.
At this time, Li Liancheng was standing guard outside, and found that the sun had risen and shone on Chairman Mao's face, and Li Liancheng, out of good intentions, quietly walked in and wanted to pull down the blinds so that the sun would not affect Chairman Mao's rest.
However, when the shutters were put down, they were not easy to control, and Li Liancheng was not careful, so he let the shutters fall down at once, and immediately woke Up Chairman Mao.
Chairman Mao slept hard and was woken up again, but he could imagine that his heart was very irritable, so he opened his eyes and asked angrily: "What's going on?" ”
Li Liancheng quickly explained: "Chairman, I will close the window for you..."
Chairman Mao was still very angry and said, "Why did you go earlier, but at this time to close the window?" You don't have to be on duty here, get out! ”
Li Liancheng quickly walked out and stood in the doorway, worried in his heart.
After a while, Chairman Mao still did not fall asleep, so he walked out, saw Li Liancheng standing at the door, and still said in a bad mood: "You go and call Li Yinqiao, don't stand here!" ”
Li Liancheng was very aggrieved in his heart, so he went to Li Yinqiao with tears and told him about the incident, and Li Yinqiao comforted him: "Don't worry, Chairman Mao just blames you for disturbing his rest, and it will be fine after a while." ”
Li Yinqiao went to Chairman Mao's room and saw that Chairman Mao was reading a book, and he knew that once Chairman Mao was awakened, it would be difficult for him to fall asleep again, so he said: "Chairman, I will comb your hair and promote blood circulation in your brain." ”
After combing his hair for a while, Chairman Mao's anger gradually subsided, and he said to Li Yinqiao: "Go and call Xiao Li in." ”
After Li Liancheng came in, he bowed his head and confessed his mistake to Chairman Mao, saying that he should not disturb the chairman's rest, but Chairman Mao waved his hand and said to him: "You are at fault, but my fault is greater than yours, and I should not lose my temper with you!" ”
When Li Liancheng heard this, tears immediately flowed down again, and while crying, he said: "Chairman, I was wrong. ”
Chairman Mao continued to persuade him: "When you say this, do you blame me?" Alas, I am too busy at work, can't sleep, my heart is irritable, I can't control my emotions, don't blame me anymore. ”
Where did Li Liancheng blame Chairman Mao, he was blaming himself for disturbing Chairman Mao's rest, but he did not expect that Chairman Mao would in turn comfort him and apologize to him; the more Li Liancheng thought about it, the more moved he became, and the more he could not stop the tears.
Chairman Mao saw that he was crying more and more severely, and thought that he had overdone his criticism, so he hurriedly said: "Don't blame me, I have already confessed my mistake!" I'm just a bit of a stinky temper, and I'm sure I won't do it again in the future! ”
At this time, Li Liancheng was unable to speak, and he was crying a lot.
As a result, the more he cried, the more chairman Mao was overwhelmed and had no choice but to "ask Li Yinqiao for help."
Li Yinqiao knew why Li Liancheng was crying, so he took him out, which calmed down this "storm."
Later, Chairman Mao still did not forget this incident, and apologized to Li Liancheng three times, each time making Li Liancheng tear up.
This is the greatness of Chairman Mao, who does not feel superior to others because he is the chairman, but regards the staff as his friends, and even if he loses his temper with them, he will take the initiative to apologize to them.
