On September 27, 1958, Chairman Mao inspected Shanghai.
Chairman Mao inspected
In fact, this inspection of Shanghai was only the last stop, and in early September Chairman Mao's special train had already left Beijing, and Chairman Mao had gone all the way south to conduct a large number of detailed investigations in Zhengzhou, Wuhan, and Hefei.
All the way, the boats and cars were tired, and Chairman Mao was already very tired.
To this end, one day Tan Zhenlin and Ke Qingshi, secretary of the Shanghai Municipal CPC Committee, arranged cultural and entertainment activities for Chairman Mao and solicited Chairman Mao's opinions.
Immediately, the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee arranged for powerful actor Li Yu to lead the starring role in "The Legend of the White Snake", and the performance venue was at the Shanghai Cadre Club.
The Legend of the White Snake
That night, there were many people here, and as soon as Chairman Mao arrived at the scene, there was a warm applause, and the chairman waved to everyone.
Chairman Mao's belly was large, and his belt tightened after sitting down, and the guard Li Yinqiao loosened his belt for Chairman Mao.
Soon the performance began, chairman Mao sat on the couch and lit a cigarette, but soon he was fully integrated into the plot and stopped smoking.
As the plot continued to deepen, Chairman Mao stared at the stage with both eyes, and he expressed great respect and praise for the love of Xu Xian and the White Lady and Xiao Qing's enthusiasm and bravery.
Seeing the emotional place, Chairman Mao took the lead in applauding.
However, after seeing Fahai's appearance, xu Xian and Bai Niangzi's love encountered strong resistance, especially when "the water flooded the golden mountain", Chairman Mao's expression became extremely serious, and he showed a strong hatred for Fahai.
And when he saw the scene of xu xian and the white lady of the "broken bridge" parting from life and death, Chairman Mao couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.
Obviously, Chairman Mao has fully integrated into the plot. At the end of the performance, Chairman Mao immediately got up and took the lead in applauding, but he had forgotten that the belt of his pants was not yet fastened.
When the incident happened suddenly, Li Yinqiao did not expect Chairman Mao to stand up. He hurried to lift his trousers and tie his belt for the chairman.
Subsequently, Chairman Mao stepped onto the stage to shake hands with all the actors one by one to congratulate him, but only one person was excluded. There is no doubt that he is the "Fahai" actor.
Why?
Perhaps the actor of "Fahai" is still confused.
In fact, it is not that his acting skills are not good, but that there is another reason, and it is precisely this is a true portrayal of Chairman Mao's state of mind at this time.
As the leader of a country, Chairman Mao has the country and the people in his heart, so his joys and sorrows must be closely linked to major events at home and abroad.
December 1957.
One day, one of Chairman Mao's guards returned from a visit to his relatives, and in accordance with Chairman Mao's instructions, he went home to investigate his relatives.
While writing the investigation report, the guards also brought back a nest head, black and hard.
Chairman Mao and Li Yinqiao
When the guards saw Chairman Mao, they said, "Chairman, the peasants in our hometown are still living very hard, and people eat this kind of nest; I am telling the truth, and my father and my mother also eat this."
Chairman Mao's expression immediately became serious, he took the head of the nest, his hands trembled a little, and soon two large tears flowed from his cheeks.
Chairman Mao wiped his tears, broke a piece of bread and put it in his mouth, but said to the guards around him: "Eat, you all eat a piece." This is the ration of our peasants, this is the grain that the grain growers eat..."
During the conversation, Chairman Mao choked up a little.
That night, Chairman Mao lost sleep. And said to himself: "Are we socialist, shouldn't it be like this, we must find a way, we must think of a way..."
From this point of view, China needs a peaceful environment to develop its economy, which is too much needed.
But the world is not at peace.
Indeed, although the Korean War was over, the world was not at peace.
In November 1957, Chairman Mao led a delegation to visit the Soviet Union, during which Chairman Mao made an incisive judgment on the international situation.
He said: "It is the madman who wants to start a war, they may drop atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs everywhere." ”
At the same time, he added: "We in China have not yet built it well, and we want peace." But if imperialism insists on fighting a war, we have no choice but to lay down our hearts and fight and rebuild. ”
In January 1958, Chairman Mao inspected Nanning.
Just as Chairman Mao had expected, late one night, the radar unit of the Chinese People's Liberation Army stationed in Guangxi suddenly found that a Kuomintang plane was traveling straight over Guangxi from the sea and was close to Nanning.
He Ting, deputy commander of the Air Force, immediately became nervous: Could it be that Chairman Mao's whereabouts have been exposed?
He Ting immediately ordered the Liuzhou Air Force to take off urgently and intercept it, while the lights in Nanning were turned off.
In May of the same year, the United States and South Korea and Taiwan held large-scale joint military exercises and test-fired Matador missiles that could carry nuclear warheads and penetrate hundreds of kilometers into the hinterland of Chinese mainland.
At the same time, the United States established the "US Military Auxiliary Defense Assistance Command in Taiwan."
In this regard, Chairman Mao said: "We must return the color!"
In July, Chiang Kai-shek held an emergency meeting in Taiwan, ordered the navy, army and air forces to cancel their vacations and prepare for war, and at the same time sent aircraft to continuously harass fujian, Guangdong and other coastal areas.
At this time, Zhou Enlai reported to Chairman Mao that the US Seventh Pacific Fleet had entered the Taiwan Strait.
In this regard, Chairman Mao said: "If no one offends me, I will not offend; if a person offends me, I will offend; if a person offends me, I will offend him later."
Subsequently, Ye Fei was transferred to Xiamen and began to deploy shelling Kinmen. In this way, it warns and smashes the conspiracy of US imperialism to interfere in China's internal affairs.
It was at this time that Chairman Mao published a famous article entitled "On Imperialism and All Reactionaries are Paper Tigers."
Returning to the beginning of the article, it is clear that at this time of internal and external troubles, Chairman Mao always thought about the future and future of the motherland in his heart, and never stopped for a moment.
Since ancient times in China, the role of "Fahai" has been annoying, becoming a beautiful destroyer.
After the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, China's economy urgently needs to recover and develop, which requires peace. At this time, the US imperialists and the old Chiang Kai-shek were eager to move and frequently created incidents.
Chairman Mao is touching the scene, and imperialism and reaction are as abhorrent as "Fahai.".
