On October 26, 1952, Chairman Mao came to Jinan, Shandong to inspect the work, which was his first visit to Shandong after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and accompanied by Xu Shiyou and provincial leaders, Chairman Mao stayed at the Communication Office of the Shandong Provincial Government.
Xu Shiyou was the commander of the Shandong Military Region at the time, he was Chairman Mao's beloved general, in 1937, Xu Shiyou was wrongly criticized, Chairman Mao deeply understood the great righteousness, saved his life, Xu Shiyou was very grateful, secretly vowed to spend his life to defend Chairman Mao.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Xu Shiyou led his troops to resist Japan in the Jiaodong area, and Chairman Mao once praised: "Xu Shiyou is a general who has reddened the eastern half of the sky, which is remarkable and remarkable." During the Liberation War, Chairman Mao also named Xu Shiyou as the commander-in-chief of the siege of the Jinan Campaign, and under his leadership, our army took only eight days and eight nights to conquer this so-called fortified big city, thus opening the prelude to a strategic decisive battle.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xu Shiyou also became the best person in charge of the Shandong Military Region.
When Chairman Mao came to Shandong to inspect, Xu Shiyou was very happy, and when he waited for Chairman Mao to be included in the entry station, he was in a surging mood, and when Chairman Mao arrived at the place where he was staying, he volunteered as commander to personally serve as a guard for Chairman Mao.
Chairman Mao was very attached to Xu Shiyou, a loving general, so he agreed, and when he had just stayed, he called Out to Xu Shiyou, who thought that Chairman Mao wanted to talk to him about the wartime period and was very happy to come.
Chairman Mao asked, "Where is Comrade Zu Yan's tomb?" ”
For a time, Xu Shiyou, who had experienced hundreds of battles and was not easily moved, did not expect Chairman Mao to inspect the work in Shandong, and the first question he asked was such a sentence, after all, Xu Shiyou was an old general who had seen strong winds and waves, and he immediately replied: "Comrade Zu Yan is buried on the Sili Mountain in the southern suburbs." ”
Xu Shiyou replied while looking at Chairman Mao, he was very touched in his heart, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, all kinds of wastes were revived, Chairman Mao was busy with official duties, but despite this, he still did not forget his close comrades buried on the land of Qilu.
Chairman Mao went on to say: "I want to go to Zu Yan's cemetery to have a look, and it has been 14 years since Yan'an parted in 1938 and asked him to go to Gannan to pick up Chen Yi's troops to form the New Fourth Army. Chairman Mao held out a big hand and counted his fingers: "I didn't expect that the parting was actually a farewell, and when I set out from Beijing this time, I planned to visit Comrade Zu Yan's tomb in Jinan." ”
What kind of relationship does Chairman Mao have with Huang Zuyan?
Huang Zuyan, a native of Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, joined the Red Army at the age of 21, and served as secretary of the central county party committee and political commissar of the guerrilla brigade of xinkangxiong (Xinfeng, Nankang, nanxiong) of the COMMUNIST Party of China, and the two met in 1929, when Chairman Mao led the Red Fourth Army to march to Gannan, and Huang Zuyan, as the host, greeted Chairman Mao's arrival.
In 1933, the darkest day of Chairman Mao's political career, he lost the command of the Red Army, and his daily work was to investigate all parts of the Soviet zone and guide the peasant movement.
In terms of life, Huang Zuyan took meticulous care of Chairman Mao, and during such a difficult period, Chairman Mao and Huang Zuyan formed a deep revolutionary friendship.
On the eve of the Long March, when Chairman Mao was directing work in Yudu, he fell ill and had a continuous high fever, and Huang Zuyan was very anxious, so he immediately asked the guards to call Zhang Wentian of Ruijin and asked him to quickly send someone to treat Chairman Mao.
Zhang Wentian received a phone call and sent Fu Lianzhang, a well-known doctor in the army, to Yudu, Ruijin and Yudu were 180 miles apart, the road was far away, the traffic was inconvenient, and on the way fu Lianzhang came, Huang Zuyan was restless and anxious.
I don't know how long later, Fu Lianzhang finally arrived, Huang Zuyan immediately led him into Chairman Mao's bedroom, while walking, he introduced Chairman Fu Lianzhang's condition to Fu Lianzhang, Fu Lianzhang after understanding, made a diagnosis of Chairman Mao, and concluded that he was suffering from falciparum malaria.
Immediately, Fu Lianzhang gave Chairman Mao quinine and caffeine, and that night, Huang Zuyan was worried about Chairman Mao's condition and could not sleep tossing and turning, and the next day, Chairman Mao's condition improved, and Huang Zuyan was always by Fu Lianzhang's side, handing him towels and medicines.
On the third day, Chairman Mao's high fever had receded and was almost completely healed, and Huang Zuyan was very happy and shook Fu Lianzhang's hand: "Dean Fu, thanks to your coming, you have cured the chairman's illness, thank you so much." ”
Later, under the meticulous care of Huang Zuyan and others, Chairman Mao's illness recovered, and in October, he followed the troops on the Long March.
At this time, Huang Zuyan bid farewell to Chairman Mao and went to the troops to participate in the Long March; after the Zunyi Conference, Chairman Mao transferred Huang Zuyan back to his side to work; in the subsequent revolutionary struggle, Huang Zuyan always kept Chairman Mao's teachings firmly in mind, devoted his energy to the revolutionary cause, and never cared about anything.
After the Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, although Huang Zuyan was no longer with Chairman Mao, according to Chairman Mao's guard Li Yaoyu, "When he was in Yan'an, Chairman Mao often went to talk to Huang Zuyan when he had time. At that time, Chairman Mao was already the supreme leader of our party and our army, Huang Zuyan was not in a high position in the party, and his seniority was not old, but Chairman Mao often went to talk to him.
In 1938, when Huang Zuyan left Yan'an for the anti-Japanese front, Chairman Mao personally sent him off, and this parting, neither of them expected, became a farewell between them.
After that, Huang Zuyan successively served as the political commissar of the Fourth Division of the New Fourth Army and the director of the Political Department of the Bohai Naval Region, and in 1950, he was promoted to deputy director of the Political Department of the Shandong Military Region.
On March 13, 1951, when Huang Zuyan was watching a theatrical performance in the Jinan Municipal Government Auditorium, he was assassinated by Wang Jumin, deputy chief of the Propaganda and Education Department of the Huimin Military Region.
After Huang Zuyan's death, Chairman Mao, who was recuperating in Shijiazhuang at this time, quickly received the news, he was very sad, and in the next month, three consecutive instructions were issued, and we can see that at that time, although Chairman Mao and Huang Zuyan had not seen each other for 13 years, the friendship between them was still there.
On October 26, 1952, chairman Mao came to Jinan for the first time after the founding of the People's Republic of China to inspect the work, and on the same day, there was a scene at the beginning of the article, Chairman Mao told Xu Shiyou that he wanted to go to Huang Zuyan's cemetery to have a look.
The next day, accompanied by Xu Shiyou and others, Chairman Mao came to the Four Mile Mountain, and on the way to the cemetery, Chairman Mao said: "He is a rare talent, capable of writing and martial arts, and he is very loyal, of good quality, of serious work, of a very strong sense of organization, and of conscientious work,........ He took good care of my life,....... I miss him. ”
When Chairman Mao saw Huang Zuyan's tombstone, he walked up quickly, touched the tombstone, and choked up: "Zuyan, I have come to see you." At this time, Chairman Mao was no longer the great man who pointed out the country and the mountains and rebuked Fang, but an old friend whom Huang Zuyan had not seen for many years.
Chairman Mao walked around the cemetery and said: "The tomb has been repaired very well, and the work of compensating the martyrs of the Shandong Military Region has done a good job." ”
At the Four Mile Mountain, Chairman Mao looked at the lush hills and the burial places of martyrs one after another, and said with emotion: "Qingshan has the honor of burying loyal bones, and it is the good fortune of this mountain that so many people's heroes are buried here." ”
Since then, Sili Mountain has been renamed "Hero Mountain".
Huang Zuyan's descendants were well cared for by the state, and his son Huang Xin later became a lieutenant general in the People's Liberation Army.
Martyrs are immortal!
