One day in September 1961, a ragged old man put all the large bags in his hand on the small table in front of the train seat, which was filled with local souvenirs, when someone asked curiously why the old man took so many special products, the other party said with a smile that "these are gifts for great people", for ordinary people, Chairman Mao can be described as a person with a very special identity, and they respect and love people, but what the old man said in front of him, everyone obviously did not believe, But then, in order to prove that he and Chairman Mao knew each other, the old man immediately took out a letter from his pocket, and after everyone read it, he all respected the person in front of him.
So, what is the origin of this old man who holds countless specialties in his hand, whether he and the great man really know each other, and why does everyone change their attitude towards the old man instantly after reading the letter?

In 1961, the mysterious old farmer was ridiculed for visiting the great man, but the other party took out a letter to silence everyone
Mysterious letters
On this day, the train station ushered in a very"
particularly
"The passenger, in the eyes of the hurried bystanders, the old man in front of him, from his eyes, can be seen, is definitely the first time to be here,
The old man carried no less than ten large bags and small bags, and without any help, he dragged these things onto the train
。
Then the old man took out the ticket, sat down in the seat according to the serial number, and conveniently wrapped these packages
all
I put it on the small table in front of me
As for why it is not placed in the storage basket above the head, presumably the old man feels that it is too high and dangerous, in case it falls down, it will be broken, but the old man's practice does affect several other travelers around.
After the old man had put all his things in place, one of the young people asked the old man why he took so many souvenirs.
When the old man heard it, he smiled and said that these things were all given to him by the villagers
Great
Gifts
When the old man finished speaking, the people in the carriage who could hear this sentence were stunned, and many people could not help but wonder what the old man's identity was and why he knew Chairman Mao.
Immediately afterward, some people spontaneously approached the old man and carefully observed,
Look at the old man's dress, it's really not one."
There is a head and a face
"The character, at first glance, is also an authentic one
farmer
, how can it be with
Chairman Mao
Tie the knot
？ Seeing that most of the people in the carriage did not believe, the old man took an envelope from his pocket.
Just at this moment, just as the conductor approached, the big guy asked him to see if the old man's letter was really related to Chairman Mao.
After taking the envelope, the conductor looked at it a few times, and his expression changed from casual to dignified at the beginning, and after reading it, he even folded the letter himself, stuffed it into the envelope, and turned back to tell the others, "
This is really Chairman Mao's handwritten letter
”
Suddenly, the carriage suddenly exploded, and everyone showed a trace of respect in their eyes when they looked at the old man again.
If you can communicate with Chairman Mao, then the old man in front of you must be a good friend of Chairman Mao
，
Yang Buhao
, this is the name of the old man,
And his relationship with great men is real
Yang Buhao was born in 1905 in a small village in Hengshan County, Shaanxi Province
The family was poor
Like the vast majority of poor people, their families have not had enough to eat, and Yang Buhao has lived in the environment of famine and turmoil since he was a child.
At the age of 10, Yang Buhao followed other peers and chose to work as child laborers for landlords
In the landlord's house, they can also manage their food and drink, and they can also receive a sum of money every month to improve family expenses, herd cattle, herd sheep, carry water and chop firewood, and other dirty and tiring work, Yang Buhao has done it, so,
He developed one since he was a child
Hard
The spirit of every time will be put
The money earned is sent home
, do not take a point yourself.
In this way, fourteen years later, according to the customs in the village, Yang Buhao should have married and had children a few years ago, but because the environment in his hometown was too bad, even survival was a luxury, at this time, marry a wife, the family did not want to live, so this matter, can only be set aside.
And this year it happened to be a coincidence."
famine
Yang Buhao's hometown suffered a very severe drought, farming
After a year of hard work, many families who did not have grain in storage began to eat."
Shintani
"That's it
(grain used for tillage),
More serious ones have even appeared."
Sale of children
" phenomenon
In order to survive, Yang Buhao's family had to give up here and began to wander aimlessly
beg
, where to go counts,
Rely on others
alms
Barely getting by
At that time, the situation was almost the same, so there were not many people who could give them food, and just when the family was about to be unable to hold on, they arrived
Shijiapan Village, Yan'an County
At that time, the vicinity of Yan'an County had not yet been affected by famine, so
They soon found a copy at a landlord's house
Sharecroppers
work and settle here
At first, Yang Buhao thought that after surviving this period, the future would be better and better.
As everyone knows, the landlord can sharecroppers for his own acres of land
squeeze
To what point
Yang Buhao came out early and returned late every day, working conscientiously in the landlord's field, very diligent, but the landlord would take it every time
Different reasons
Reduce Yang Buhao's salary a bit
Originally, the family had not had enough to eat, and the landlord did so, and the Yang family finally could not support it.
Father Yang was brought to life
starve
And Yang Buhao,
He even had money to bury his father
Can't get it out
Therefore, in order to bury his father and let the old man walk decently, Yang Buhao could only ask the landlord to borrow some money.
Because he was too anxious, Yang Buhao did not see the contract at all and signed it, and in the end, although the money was borrowed, he also fell into the "
usury
"
With no money to pay off debts, Yang Buhao naturally became a landlord's family
Free labor
, all day early out and late return, still can not earn a penny, for Yang Buhao, this situation, he feels very helpless,
If you let the landlord know, you will definitely find him to settle the account, and he will be alone and can run there
Land reform, the people turned themselves into masters
And this kind of life did not change completely until 1935, that year,
Chairman Mao led the Chinese People's Liberation Army to northern Shaanxi and was overwhelmed with lightning speed
liberate
took the stone home and implemented it
Land reform
(Agrarian reform),
Fighting landlords
, divide the fields,
The common people no longer need to work for the landlords
The same is true of Yang Buhao, after the great man arrived here, he immediately put those landlords who had committed many evil deeds into a nest and liberated the peasants here, and they no longer had to endure the oppression of the landlords.
And almost everyone was given a field of different sizes, and Yang Buhao was the same, and the great man was given to him
A few acres of land
And one that can be safed
Cave dwellings
After having these lands, Yang Buhao was ecstatic, so that he would no longer have to worry about starvation, and when he waited for next autumn, he also had"
Can't finish eating
"The grain,
At this point, Yang Buhao saw the reality clearly, and from that time on, he was inspired to become an excellent person like our party
One day in 1936, on the recommendation of the introducer, Yang Buhao joined
Communist Party of China
Because over the years, Yang Buhao has always been a relatively popular person in the village, so
The Party Central Committee arranged for him
Village Party Secretary
on the seat
I hope that he can carry forward Shi Jiapan in the future days.
For the development of the village department, Yang Buhao played a role
Very positive
He took the lead and took his wife and brothers out early and returned late every day, active in the farmland
Divide half of all your energy into these acres of land, and use the rest to take care of the village,
This was followed by a joint effort with the farmers in the village
Large-scale production movement
Although Yang Buhao did not go to the battlefield, he was also leading the villagers to use logistics to defend the country.
No matter when, no matter the wind and rain, the villagers can see the figure of Yang Buhao in the field, and a few months later, Shijiapan harvests the crops.
Yang Buhao's few acres of land can always be more than others
A few percent
of the yield
And he was happier about it,
In his heart, Yang Buhao has always been grateful to our party, if it were not for Chairman Mao's practice
land reform
, where there is Yang Buhao's now
Without land reform, everyone would still be landlords
control
If there is no land reform, the peasants will still be subject to the landlords
oppress
And the grain that you grow yourself has nothing to do with yourself, even if it is like now, the life at home is getting better and better every day, and you can see the hope of living anywhere.
In 1942, Yang Buhao was again named the "Yan'an County"
Hero of labor
”，
The following year, he went with others as a hero of labor to comfort the garrison
Nanniwan
The Eighth Route Army
After coming to the barracks, during the small talk, Yang Buhao learned that
Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu De are like them,
Labor is required every day
to complete your own tasks
After hearing these "secrets", Yang Buhao was momentarily tensed, in his opinion, these leaders are all going to do big things, who can be tripped by farming.
Therefore, on the day of returning to the village, Yang Buhao immediately asked the superior leader for instructions.
Take over all the labor tasks of Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu De
After reading Yang Buhao's appeal, the leader considered it very seriously for a while, plus Yang Buhao repeatedly requested and promised to complete the task absolutely.
The leaders finally agreed
After receiving the reply, Yang Buhao wrote a letter to Chairman Mao at the first time and explained to him why he did it
And Chairman Mao, after seeing this letter,
Very impressed
Immediately replied to Yang Buhao to express his gratitude, but also said,
Farming must be carried out according to one's ability, and we must not be reckless
In addition, Chairman Mao also specially distributed several cows to Yang Buhao to cooperate with farming, and it was from that time that Yang Buhao took great care of this land.
Share the worries of great men
Be the first to work in the morning and the last to go home in the evening
In the face of such a situation, Yang Buhao
Didn't shout once tired
On the contrary, it is getting faster and faster, because these are the lands of national leaders,
Taking care of them is equivalent to not having to worry about the rear of the great man
After the autumn harvest, Yang Buhao immediately led his own small wool stove, and also bundled several large bags of sun-dried wheat and sent them to Yangjialing, the then base of the CPC Central Committee
And his purpose is"
Pay the public grain in place of the great man
", you can imagine how proud Yang Buhao was at that time,
When Chairman Mao learned that Yang Buhao had handed over the grain for him, he immediately put down his work and personally received him
And took Yang Buhao around the base area.
By chance, chairman Mao cordially asked why he was cultivating for him and Commander-in-Chief Zhu, and Yang Buhao said:
Both leaders are people who do big things, and the work of farming must be left to others to take care of, and the original important things cannot be delayed because of farming
, plus
He was not at ease with these places in the hands of others
, so on your own"
Big package
"Worry about the great man and Commander-in-Chief Zhu."
Then he told his own hard life and how their family was
, how to be a landlord
If it weren't for Chairman Mao's policy, Yang Buhao might have followed his father
Drink water without forgetting the people who dig wells
Yang Buhao took Chairman Mao's kindness very seriously.
Although Yang Buhao was a peasant, he still repaid Chairman Mao with the best he could and the great benefactor of the Communist Party of China, and his answer touched many people.
After bidding farewell to Chairman Mao, Yang Buhao was overwhelmed
Full of energy
It was as if I had suddenly returned to my youth
After returning to the village, he led other farmers to work harder, and now he has encountered such a benefactor, if he does not try his best to repay, I am afraid that he will not have a chance in the future.
Therefore, in this case, Yang Buhao was always able to exceed the task, and at the same time, he himself was rated by the Party Central Committee in 1945 for his outstanding performance
First Class Agricultural Labor Model
In November of the same year, on the day of Yang Buhao's birth, Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu personally sent him a large pennant to commend his merits, and this pennant also had five big characters written on it."
Live with the people
", in addition to that,
Also sent to him separately
200,000 rhines
Congratulations
At this point, when Yang Buhao saw the gifts sent by the great man, he finally couldn't stop crying, he thought, Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu are so busy with their daily work, plus now that they have just defeated the Japanese, there must be a lot of busy things, and now for a peasant, it is unexpected
Personally send people to comfort
And remember his birthday, how can not let him be moved.
Since then, every holiday, Yang Buhao has been
Walk around the door
, with the local
Central leadership
and
When the central leaders became closer and closer, whenever they heard which one there was
The leader is sick
Even if you are busy, you will
Put down the work at hand
, personally rushed to visit
, for many years.
In 1946, Yang Buhao also proposed in the local agricultural and industrial cooperatives,
In the name of the local people,
Write a gold plaque to the great man
To express their respect for Chairman Mao
The proposal was quickly finalized, and Yang Buhao personally supervised the work, and a few days later, a plaque engraved with the people's savior was made and sent to the place where Chairman Mao stayed.
Chairman Mao was very happy after receiving the plaque sent by Yang Buhao, and on the spot he took the other party's hand and said, "I."
Thank you to all the people of the six townships, and thank you
In June, the Kuomintang Hu Zongnan led the troops to sneak into the Shaanxi-Gansu region, and many Chinese and foreign reporters came to the Joint Defense Headquarters to inquire about how to deal with it.
In addition, I also wanted to understand the reaction of the local masses, after all, in the eyes of the reporters at that time, our party's combat superiority was still somewhat different from that of the Kuomintang.
As for arranging the task of reporters, Chairman Mao arranged for Yang Buhao.com
And not only did he accomplish this task very beautifully, but before leaving, he said to these reporters: "
If Hu Zizi dares to attack, we in the Shaanxi-Gansu region can fight both men and women."
When the enemy comes, they fight one, and when they come to a group, they will fight a group, and even if they can't beat them, they will not back down, because our party is giving them a good life, and when the enemy attacks our party, he is attacking their benefactor.
After these words reached Chairman Mao's ears, Chairman Mao was even more so
Praise after praise
He said that Yang Buhao had raised the morale of the people in the border areas and destroyed the prestige of the reactionaries
In the spring of 1947, Yang Buhao took some
specialty
, personally visit the great man for the New Year
On the same day, during the conversation between the two, Chairman Mao told him about the war situation in the country, and the Party Central Committee also temporarily decided to evacuate Yan'an for a period of time.
And because Yang Buhao is an active member of our party, it is again
So afraid that the enemy would notice him, do something
abominable
thing
I hope that the other party can make plans in advance, but who ever thought, Yang Buhao is not afraid at all, he said to the great man,
He has his own convictions, and this belief is not something that the enemy can change by just frightening him twice, and he says he wants to
Pick up your gun and join the guerrillas
After listening, Chairman Mao did not speak, but just tightly held Yang Buhao's hand.
After the founding of New China,
Yang Buhao was arranged
Yan'an Revolution Memorial Hall
Work, here, he has not forgotten that he is a person who dedicates himself to the party, but still conscientiously contributes to society
In addition to working hours, Yang Buhao often goes deep into the grassroots to do ideological enlightenment work for local teenagers.
The friendship between the chairman and the old farmer
And to propagate the revolutionary spirit of that year and the sense of self-improvement and unremitting fighting, although the latter can not be used in peacetime, but this spirit is always worth learning from everyone,
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yang Buhao has been
Entered Beijing three times in total
Every time, he took the local specialties of his hometown to visit Chairman Mao
And the scene we saw at the beginning was Yang Buhao
second
The picture when I entered Beijing
In 1961, China was in a difficult period of reform, and Chairman Mao at that time missed his old friend in Yan'an during the agrarian revolution, so he entrusted someone to send Yang Buhao a few pounds of sugar, two bottles of wine and two pieces of cloth.
When Yang Buhao received these things, he was very excited, because he had not seen Chairman Mao for a long time, and immediately decided to enter Beijing again.
Chairman Mao chose to meet with old friends in this way because he did not have time, and he was different
So after getting the advice of the villagers, he went on the road with large bags of local souvenirs.
Before leaving,
He also wrote a letter to Chairman Mao expressing his own
Missed feelings
, ask if you can
Visiting Beijing
Chairman Mao quickly wrote back
As long as the local government agrees, then he has no opinion
So Yang Buhao went on the road, and in these packages, there were millet, mung beans, melon seeds and so on.
From these things, it is enough to see how much Yang Buhao and the local villagers attach importance to Chairman Mao, after all, during the period of the Great Famine at that time, these grains were enough for an ordinary family to eat and drink for a while, and grain was more precious than anything.
Eventually, Yang Buhao finally felt that Beijing had met Chairman Mao, and was still there
Tiananmen Tower
On, that day just happened to be
October 1
In addition, Chairman Mao took Yang Buhao to his home and cooked a lot of home-cooked dishes to entertain him, and the two talked during the meal, jointly telling about the two people bit by bit.
September 9, 1976,
Chairman Mao died
When Yang Buhao learned of this nightmare, his eyes did not know it
Crying swollen
How many times
And he was chosen
Yan'an representative
, into Beijing to mourn
When he saw the great man lying peacefully in the crystal coffin, he thought for a moment that Chairman Mao had just slept and would wake up again soon after.
In 1977, the second year of Chairman Mao's death, Yang Buhao also
Died
He died in a local flood at the age of 72, but surprisingly,
The day yang Buhao died happened to be
The first anniversary of the death of Commissioner Zhu De
Days
It is too coincidental, so some more optimistic people also said that this is not a disaster, but an old friend of Yan'an, looking for him to chat about the past.
Yang Buhao's body was buried on the hill behind Chairman Mao's former residence, Wang Jiaping.
Perhaps it is in this way that Chairman Mao is accompanied again, although the two friends have passed away one after another, but their friendship will not slowly fade with time
