Meng Jinyun is a native of Hubei and was born in 1948. In May 1975, she was transferred to Zhongnanhai and became chairman Mao's last nurse on the road to life.
During her work in Zhongnanhai, Meng Jinyun's thoughtfulness and meticulousness were affirmed by Chairman Mao, and even Wang Dongxing, director of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee, who has always been strict, praised her. Meng Jinyun's only regret is that she has never been able to join the party in Zhongnanhai.
Although she is a nurse, Meng Jinyun is actually responsible for all aspects of the chairman's daily life, from food, clothing, housing, and transportation, to reading documents and handling letters. Once, after reading a central document to the chairman, the chairman asked her to circle the document instead of herself.
Meng Jinyun pretended to be unhappy while holding the circle reading pen:
"You always asked me to circle documents for you, do you know that I am not a party member, is this a violation of organizational principles?" You are such a big chairman, and you do not develop me into the party. ”
"MengFuzi, I don't have the right to develop you, you can write your own application!" The Chair said.
"Then I'll write it when I get back!" Hearing the chairman's answer, Meng Jinyun said happily.
Sure enough, one afternoon a week later, Meng Jinyun came to Juxiang Bookstore and handed the chairman the application for joining the party that he had carefully written for several days: "Chairman, I have finished writing the application, you help me to see it." ”
The chairman said, "Well, you can write it when you say it, I don't have to read it, you read it to me." ”
Therefore, Meng Jinyun read it like he usually reads the document:
"I want to fight for the cause of communism all my life, and when I was a Young Pioneer, I thought, when I grow up, I must join the Communist Party of China." On my 18th birthday..."
Before she could finish reading, the chairman interrupted her:
"Why do you read it so fast, with the intention of not letting me hear it clearly, and then you read it to me slowly again."
Meng Jinyun had no choice but to slow down and start reading again. But without saying a few words, the chairman interrupted her again and laughed:
"You Mengfuzi, you are good at going to extremes, either too fast or too slow."
Meng Jinyun smiled, sped up a little, and read the application of less than 300 words again.
As soon as I finished reading it, the Chairman said:
"This time I heard it completely clearly, you applied to join the party at the age of 18, that is, you applied for it in 1966, it has been 10 years, your determination is not small, I agree with you to join the party, completely agree."
Hearing the chairman's statement, Meng Jinyun was very happy:
"Great, just have your consent!"
"No, only if I agree that it doesn't count, you have to go to the party group leader, hand over the application to him, and have an introducer, and it will be counted after the party group has discussed and approved."
"Yes, I went to see Director Wang as my introducer, and he has always been very concerned about my joining the party."
"Yes, but we have to find another one, two of them."
"I want to find you, lest you disagree."
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to be your introducer, and people should say that you carry the big flag." By the way, the 'better service for Chairman Mao' on the application form should be removed, so it is not good to write! ”
At the request of the chairman, Meng Jinyun handed over the application for joining the party to the head of the party group.
The next day, Zhang Yufeng knew about her going to join the party, and criticized Meng Jinyun, saying: "You look for the chairman for everything, you know that he is not in good health, why bother him!" Sooner or later you have to join the party, what are you in a hurry! ”
After a while, the party group leader talked to Meng Jinyun: "Your issue of joining the party has already been discussed at the group meeting, and some comrades said that you are somewhat proud and complacent, and you still need to make progress, and I hope that you will continue to work hard and strive to become a party member at an early date." ”
Meng Jinyun was a little confused about where the proud and complacent statement came from, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood that this should be related to an incident that happened some time ago.
Once, when it was Meng Jinyun's turn to be on duty, there were two staff members (both of whom were party members) who were on duty with Meng Jinyun outside, and when they saw meng Jinyun, they left their posts and went out to run errands, without informing her in advance.
As a result, the chairman needed to be laxative that day, and Meng Jinyun could not take care of them alone, so he hurried out to find them, but after looking for half a day, there was no shadow, so he had to call Zhang Yufeng over.
After the two returned, Meng Jinyun angrily said to them:
"You guys don't really talk! How can you go out when I'm on duty? Sometimes I still sleep at work, nothing is OK, there are things to look for you but can't find, how anxious people! ”
Unexpectedly, instead of admitting their mistakes, the two robbed Bai Meng Jinyun:
"Why are you doing this to us?" We are equals, why are you directing us! ”
A call to rob the white, leaving Meng Jinyun dumbfounded, so aggrieved that he almost shed tears. She just wanted to take better care of the chairman and work better, where was the intention of directing them?
After this incident, Meng Jinyun did not join the party in Zhongnanhai until 1986, when she was finally approved to join the Chinese Communist Party, but this was 10 years after she left Zhongnanhai.
"Our party talks about democracy, and it seems that only Chairman Mao's consent cannot do it." Meng Jinyun said later.
