Chairman Mao is our great leader, and he devoted his whole life to the cause of the revolution. But time and age, after all, are beyond everyone's reach. In his later years, Chairman Mao' health became worse and worse due to the accumulation of diseases over the years, and he also needed a person to take care of him. In the late life of the chairman, there is a person who is very important, she is the president's life secretary and confidential secretary: Zhang Yufeng. She regarded the chairman as her own relative and accompanied the chairman for the rest of her life.
In 1944, Zhang Yufeng was born in Peony City, Heilongjiang, a family of eight brothers and sisters, she ranked fourth. She was born at the time of the Japanese invaders' surrender. The invaders were driven out, and tohoku was no longer oppressed by the Japanese. A year later, the People's Liberation Army defeated the Kuomintang and liberated the three eastern provinces, and the lives of the common people slowly improved. It can be said that Zhang Yufeng was born in a good era and did not suffer from war.
Although he grew up in a relatively peaceful and stable environment, there were many brothers and sisters in the family, and it was difficult to maintain the daily expenses of the family based on the income of his parents alone. As the fourth eldest in the family, Zhang Yufeng decided to drop out of school to join the work force to share the pressure on her parents. It just so happened that mudanjiang was recruiting flight attendants at that time, and Zhang Yufeng, who did not understand, participated in the interview. Without any work experience, she was initially not hopeful.
Later, after receiving the notice that the interview was passed and asked her to go to work, she herself was surprised. However, finding a job brings her more joy, because she can finally help her parents and support their little family together. She was able to pass the pasta because of Her beautiful face and, most importantly, she was born and raised in the northeast and spoke standard Mandarin, which is one of the most important skills of flight attendants.
Zhang Yufeng, who has no work experience after joining the company, seriously learns from her predecessors, because she cherishes this job extraordinarily, she is meticulous and serious in her work, and has been praised by many passengers. Her excellent performance is also seen by the superior leaders. After working as a flight attendant for two years and accumulating certain experience, Zhang Yufeng, who performed well, was transferred to work on Chairman Mao's special train, when she was only 16 years old.
When he first entered the special train work, Zhang Yufeng's heart was very nervous, in that era, everyone worshipped the great leader Chairman Mao, on this special train, not only will meet Chairman Mao, but also meet many leaders who report on the work, for Zhang Yufeng, who grew up in a civilian family, this is something that he did not dare to think about in his life. After working for a long time, she found these leaders very approachable, and even Chairman Mao seemed amiable.
No longer nervous, she became the excellent flight attendant again, she knew that the leaders talked about national affairs, some things should not be revealed, so she rarely mentioned to people that she worked on the special train, what she saw and heard, and never passed on, and the confidentiality work was very good. In 1970, Zhang Yufeng, who had been a flight attendant on a special train for eight years, was told by her superiors that the central government wanted to transfer her to Zhongnanhai.
With Zhang Yufeng's consent, the staff took her to the chairman's residence, and her life changed. At this time, Chairman Mao was already a 77-year-old man, and from time to time he would have an illness and urgently need someone around him to take care of him. Zhang Yufeng, who used to serve as a flight attendant on the special train, often saw the chairman, respected the chairman but was not afraid, and was the most suitable candidate. She became the president's life secretary and accompanied the president through the last six years of his life.
In his later years, when the chairman was working, he often forgot to eat and drink medicine, and sometimes he would play a small temper, and every time he encountered such a situation, Zhang Yufeng could always tell the chairman in time to follow the chairman's temper and let his mood stabilize. The chairman smoked is a habit that everyone knows, and for the sake of the chairman's body, Zhang Yufeng also persuaded the chairman to quit smoking. Under her careful care, the chairman's physical condition has gradually improved.
Taking care of his food, clothing, shelter and transportation by the chairman's side allowed Zhang Yufeng to have a deeper understanding of the elderly around him. In the chairman's later years, only two people were able to enter and leave the room at will, one was the nurse Meng Jinyun, and the other was Zhang Yufeng. At first, the chairman was always pleasant to Meng Jinyun, but later he was unwilling to talk to her, and sometimes he didn't even want to pay attention to her, which made Meng Jinyun confused.
After asking Zhang Yufeng for help, she pointed out the problem to the point. In his later years, the chairman's hearing was reduced, and he loved to read, and he was often frightened by Meng Jinyun, who suddenly entered the room, because she did not make any sound every time she came in. Zhang Yufeng taught her that every time she entered the door, she would make a little movement first, so that the chairman would know that she was coming, which solved the little nurse's distress. With regard to Zhang Yufeng, the secretary, Chairman Mao's appraisal was: He handled affairs conscientiously and did his duty.
After Chairman Mao's death, Zhang Yufeng could not accept it for a long time, and she could not imagine that the great leader, the old man who had accompanied her for 6 years, had passed away. After the death of the chairman, Zhang Yufeng, who completed the task, also left Zhongnanhai and returned to his family life. Now that she is 78 years old, her family is happy, and her two daughters have also achieved success, this extraordinary experience has become a precious memory buried in her heart.
