In 1945, Chairman Mao personally went to Chongqing for negotiations, and the huge political influence made Chiang Kai-shek very alarmed. Chiang Kai-shek had long ago issued an order that public opinion should deal with Chairman Mao's visit to Chongqing for negotiations in a low-key manner and not to give propaganda to Mao Zedong.
On that day, the scale of the greeting and the number of Chinese and foreign journalists were limited. Guo Moruo said indignantly: "Why are there more foreign journalists than Chinese journalists?" Is there anything more important today than Mr. Mao's coming to Chongqing that needs to be reported by Chinese journalists? Isn't it the chairman of the CPPCC National Committee who is holding a meeting that has a bearing on the national economy and the people's livelihood waiting for them to interview? ”
Nevertheless, Chairman Mao went to Chongqing with great courage to negotiate, and it was impossible for such a big event not to have a sensational effect.
Chairman Mao's arrival shook and boiled over the mountain city. Newspapers were snapped up; 5 women mill workers jointly wrote letters to Chairman Mao in tribute... Chairman Mao's every move has attracted much attention
Chairman Mao was in the Tiger's Den. But his calm and composure aroused great interest.
Chairman Mao successively met with responsible persons of various democratic parties and well-known figures from all walks of life, including women, youth, industry and commerce, and culture, and received American aviation team members, Japanese anti-war progressive writers, and foreign ambassadors stationed in Chongqing.
Chairman Mao also appeared frequently among the masses. On September 1, Chairman Mao attended the grand banquet of the Sino-Soviet Literary Association, shaking hands and greeting old friends and comrades during the Great Revolution.
Many people witnessed Chairman Mao's demeanor, and for a time, Chairman Mao's every move attracted newspapers to compete in a prominent position.
On the land of China. Chairman Mao's image as an outstanding statesman has been established in front of the people of Chongqing and even the whole country.
Chiang Kai-shek was very annoyed by this, and even angry. But that didn't stop him: On September 6, Chairman Mao, together with Zhou Enlai and Wang Ruofei, visited Liu Yazi's apartment at the Nankai School in Shapingba.
Liu Yazi was a famous poet who knew Chairman Mao and became friends during the Great Revolution. Later, the two separated, but Liu Yazi did not break ties with the CCP leaders.
In January 1945, he wrote "A Poem of Yan'an" and sent it to Chairman Mao, which contained the sentence "Two lighthouses of the world's light, Yan'an is far away from Moscow". Regarding Chairman Mao's visit to Chongqing for negotiations, Liu Yazi once said that "he is in danger of the world."
The day after Chairman Mao arrived in Chongqing, Liu Yazi visited the Hongyan Eighth Route Army office. Friends have been separated for nearly 20 years, and they are very happy to see each other.
Liu Yazi presented a poem to Chairman Mao, praising Chairman Mao for his "great courage in the sky" and "rain and life in the rain." Then, Chairman Mao and other CPC leaders personally visited Liu Yazi, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. They substituted tea for wine, talked about ancient and modern times, and talked cordially.
Liu Yazi said: "I am now compiling a "Selected Poems of the Republic of China" to fulfill my wish for my good friend Lin Gengbai. Unfortunately, the original manuscript is too small, and I plan to expand the scope of the selection, which I want to include in one of your masterpieces. However, the poem may be a bit wrong in the copy, how about you change it yourself?
Chairman Mao smiled and took the poem manuscript, browsed it again, carefully corrected a few of the typos, read through the whole text, and then handed it to Liu Yazi. Liu Yazi asked again, "I wonder if you have any other masterpieces?" ”
Chairman Mao groaned for a moment and said, "I can send you one tomorrow." Liu Yazi said happily, "This is so good, I must read it carefully." ”
Sure enough, the next day, a poem "Qinyuan Spring and Snow" that Chairman Mao had personally copied was delivered. Words: Northern scenery, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow. Looking at the inside and outside of the Great Wall, only the rest is reckless
The poem was written on the eve of the Red Army's Crusade across the Yellow River in 1936. At that time, at the beginning of the heavy snow, Chairman Mao was walking by the Yellow River, and he felt that the Red Army had shaken off its predicament and was like a broken bamboo, and suddenly the poetry flourished, and he wrote down this touching poem with extraordinary courage and passion.
Yanako nodded as she groaned, even claiming that she was good. Chairman Mao's "Qinyuan Spring and Snow" began to be recited among some literati and inkers.
On November 14, 1945, this poem was published by sensitive reporters in the "Xinmin Bao Evening Magazine", and when it was published, it also added an editor's note: "Mao Runzhi's poetry seems to be little known, and guests have copied his "Qinyuan Spring and Snow"... The work of the game is not enough for the youth law, especially for the humane. ”
Soon, the Xinhua Daily and the Ta Kung Pao reprinted the first word. A song "Qinyuan Gang Xue" caused a sensation in Chongqing.
For a time, the rhymes, songs and works of steps were frequently published, becoming an elegant event in the whirlpool of fierce political struggle in the mountain city.
People have new thinking about the views of the Communist Party and Chairman Mao, and they have also developed some doubts about the Long-term Propaganda of the Kuomintang. This was something chiang kai-shek had never expected.
On this day, Chen Bray, the director of the attendant room, reported to Chiang Kai-shek with a poem in his hand: "Mao Zedong wrote a poem to Liu Yazi, and the words were recited in the mountain city, and the impact was great. ”
"What word? Read it to me! Chiang Kai-shek asked unhappily.
Chen Bray then read the poem word for word.
After reading it, he continued: "Mao Zedong's song is very well filled, the rhyme is high, the words are bright and beautiful, and at the same time, the sustenance is far-reaching. Now many people are fascinated by Mao Zedong's words, whether in the government or in the opposition, whether they are enemies or friends, they are singing and singing. 'Fog Chongqing, all become 'Snow Chongqing,' Sir think, our negotiations are not yet completed, Mao Zedong has already attracted the attention of many people in Chongqing, is this consequence not worth our consideration? ”
When Chiang Kai-shek heard this, he was even more annoyed and angry; how could he tolerate Chairman Mao appearing in front of the Chinese people as a great poet again? He began to intervene.
Prominent Kuomintang officials summoned the person in charge who first issued the poem, denounced him, and scolded the Xinmin Bao for "surrendering" to the Communist Party.
A man named Wang Yunsheng wrote an article entitled "Several Views on Chinese History", which was published in the Ta Kung Pao for 3 consecutive days. At the beginning of the article, Wang Yunsheng accused himself of saying something: "Therefore, I feel that my article denouncing retro, breaking superstition, and anti-imperial ideas is not worth taking out to meet with the world." ”
Subsequently, the article vigorously attacked Chairman Mao's words that expressed imperial thought. Then came one attack after another, insinuated against Chairman Mao and the Chinese Communists.
Chairman Mao later read these insulting articles and smiled at Zhou En: "It seems that it is Chiang Kai-shek who wants to claim the title of king and hegemony." Otherwise, how could one of my little words anger him? Isn't he afraid that the Chinese Communist Party will participate in politics and break the rule of his one-party dictatorship? ”
Despite Chiang Kai-shek's painstaking efforts, the attack on the term "Spring Snow in Qinyuan" did not achieve its goal, but made the word spread more and more.
A few days later, this "literary battle" caused a sensation in Chongqing, the heart of the enemy, with its great wisdom, courage and incomparable talent during the negotiations in Chongqing. He not only won the support and love of the masses of the people and democrats, but even some of his enemies had to be impressed.
Chairman Mao's "Spring Snow in Qinyuan" with its unique style and momentum, the world's chanting is still enduring to this day.
