On September 9, 1976, Chairman Mao, the great leader of the Chinese, died forever because he was seriously ill and had no resuscitation. Before his death, Chairman Mao kept chanting 8 words in his mouth, and it was these short 8 words that made Meng Jinyun, who was accompanying him, burst into tears and grief.
Which 8 words did Chairman Mao say? Why did Meng Jinyun, who was with him, so sad? And who is this girl, and why was she with the chairman before he died?
So in April 1963, Meng Jinyun, along with other young comrades of the cultural and labor troupe, was selected to go to Zhongnanhai for internship. It was this internship that allowed the 15-year-old Meng Jinyun to meet Chairman Mao, who was admired by all the Chinese people, for the first time.
In the chat, I learned that Meng Jinyun was from Wuhan, Hubei Province, and Chairman Mao said humorously, "Oh, Hubei, across a lake, is my half a little fellow countryman!" This time, Meng Jinyun gradually realized that Chairman Mao, China's greatest leader, was so approachable, and the reverence for the chairman in his heart grew deeper.
But soon the period of national turmoil came, and even the cultural and labor troupe was affected. In February 1968, Meng Jinyun's brother was imprisoned, and soon after, Meng Jinyun was also imprisoned in a barred prison on trumped-up charges and forced to undergo labor reform. Since then, Meng Jinyun has lived an isolated life almost every day.
In 1971, a few little girls who had played with Chairman Mao with Meng Jinyun often went to Chairman Mao in Zhongnanhai to talk to the chairman as before. Once, Xiao li, who had a very good relationship with Meng Jinyun, mentioned Meng Jinyun during the conversation. For this half-little fellow country chairman who was full of childishness and spoke without rules and regulations, he naturally remembered it.
After Xiaoli told the chairman about the grievances meng Jinyun had suffered over the years, Meng Jinyun was released. In May 1972, Meng Jinyun was quietly picked up by a small black car. After being told that he could not return to Beijing, let alone to the cultural troupe, Meng Jinyun was sent to Wuhan, Hubei Province, where he became a nurse.
Meng Jinyun was very happy to be free, but she still couldn't understand that since she had no problems, why couldn't she go back to Beijing, nor could she go back to beijing to work in the Beijing Cultural and Labor Troupe? These questions haunted her and left her puzzled, so she decided to clarify this series of problems. In May 1975, Meng Jinyun, with the help of Zhang Yufeng, met Chairman Mao again.
After several years, Meng Jinyun, who has experienced ups and downs, has already fallen out of the pavilion. Seeing the chairman's slightly aging face and thinking of his previous experience, Meng Jinyun's eyes were full of tears, and he did not know whether the chairman remembered her Meng Jinyun and introduced himself: "Chairman, I am Meng Jinyun from Wuhan, Hubei Province. ”
But what surprised her was that after many years of absence, the chairman still remembered herself clearly and, as before, affectionately called herself "half a little fellow countryman". Therefore, Meng Jinyun said, "Chairman, I came to you to rehabilitate." For Meng Jinyun's grievances, the chairman had already heard about it, but when Meng Jinyun told him all about what had happened over the years, the chairman knew what this little girl, who was originally full of childishness, had experienced over the years.
The chairman listened silently, hearing what had happened to the little girl, and his eyes were full of tears. After a moment of silence, the chairman stood up excitedly and said, "You don't have to talk about it, you come, everything will be easy to do, you will stay here and work." Therefore, under Chairman Mao's instructions, Meng Jinyun stayed by Chairman Mao's side.
Although staying in Zhongnanhai and at the chairman's side, the previous problems were not a problem, Meng Jinyun still did not forget to clarify the problems when he came. At first, after listening to Meng Jinyun's thoughts, the chairman comforted him and said, "Are you still worried about these things?" But it is also said that everything must have a proof, in the past I have been deducted a lot of hats, but now those hats are gone. ”
The chairman wanted to persuade Meng Jinyun not to take these things to heart, time will prove everything, but Meng Jinyun insisted on his own ideas, Meng Jinyun said, "But if these things do not have paper certificates, what if others calculate the old accounts?" ”
Hearing Meng Jinyun's words, the chairman thought for a while and said that this was indeed the case, and then said, "This is easy to do, just find Wang Dongxing to do it." Subsequently, Meng Jinyun found Wang Dongxing and told him his problems one by one, and finally after Wang Dongxing's investigation, what Meng Jinyun said was the truth. Therefore, she was given a "conclusion on the rehabilitation of Comrade Meng Jinyun", after which the black material in Meng Jinyun's file was extracted and burned. At this point, Meng Jinyun's innocence was washed away.
At first, when Meng Jinyun first entered the chairman's bedroom like Zhang Yufeng and other staff members around the chairman, she was shocked by the number of books in the chairman's room. She looked at the cabinet full of books, and Meng Jinyun felt as if she had entered the ocean of books. According to incomplete statistics, there are nearly 90,000 books in the chairman's bedroom. Moreover, half of the chair's wide bed was still occupied by books, and in these books, most of them were line-bound books, among which there were sketches left by the chairman when he was reading.
One day, the chairman pointed to the "Zizhi Tongjian" that he had just read and put on the table, told Meng Jinyun that he had read this book 17 times, and each time he was deeply touched, it was a very rare and good book, and recommended Meng Jinyun to go back to read it. After listening to Meng Jinyun said, "Try it, I'm afraid I don't have that perseverance."
Subsequently, the chairman also said that there are both essences and dross in the book, so it is necessary to inherit and critically analyze. Meng Jinyun was a little puzzled by this, and said that when he read the book, he always felt that what was written in the book was correct, so he especially believed and believed 100%.
However, the Chair disagreed
At this point, after listening to the reading method given by Chairman Mao, Meng Jinyun began to set a rule for herself, and when the chairman's spirit was still good and she had free time, she asked the chairman for advice.
Because of the help of the chairman, Meng Jinyun stayed by the chairman's side and was responsible for feeding the chairman medicine, eating fruit and feeding water and other daily life. In his later years, there were many people who wanted to visit the chairman, but no matter who it was, it was necessary to obtain the consent of the chairman's confidential secretary Zhang Yufeng and nurse Meng Jinyun, and they could meet with the chairman through their arrangements, so it can be seen that the chairman trusts the two.
Because, since 1973, the chairman, who is already 80 years old at this time, has not been in good health, coupled with the appearance of cataracts, it is even more difficult for the chairman to read books and newspapers. Therefore, in addition to taking care of the chairman, Meng Jinyun is also responsible for reading newspapers and periodicals to the chairman, reading documents, and handling daily letters. Sometimes, after reading the document, the chairman will ask Meng Jinyun to help him read it.
However, although Meng Jinyun applied to join the party in 1966, she never got permission, so she was not a party member at this time. And this also made Meng Jinyun feel inappropriate when reading documents for the chairman, whenever he read the documents within the party and circled them.
Especially when her good friend learned of this and jokingly said that she was a "Bolshevik outside the party", which made her feel very uneasy. In Meng Jinyun's view, she is not a party member and is not qualified to help the chairman deal with these documents, so the desire to apply for joining the party has gradually sprouted in her heart again. After several considerations, she felt solemnly expressing this idea to Chairman Mao and listening to his opinion.
Once, when Meng Jinyun was reading documents for the chairman, when she encountered the party documents again, Meng Jinyun paused for a few seconds and plucked up the courage to say to the chairman, "Chairman, you always let me help you read the party documents, but I am not yet a party member, is this not in line with the party's regulations?" You see that you are such a big chairman, can you develop me to join the party? ”
After listening to Meng Jinyun's words, the chairman smiled, and then said very seriously, "Xiao Meng, although I am the chairman, I do not have the right to develop you into the party." However, according to the process of joining the party, you can write an application for joining the party and then hand it to Comrade Li Lianqing, the leader of the party group. By the way, you also have to have an introducer, and you have to go through the discussion and approval of the party group to count. ”
Therefore, at the suggestion of the chairman, Meng Jinyun wrote an application for joining the party, and after asking Wang Dongxing, who was very concerned about his joining the party, as an introducer, he handed over the application for joining the party to the party group leader. But because Ms. Meng had been in prison and the panel said she was somewhat complacent during the discussion, Ms. Meng's application to join the party this time was not granted.
It is precisely because of this that when she was at Chairman Mao's side, Meng Jinyun did not obtain the qualifications to join the party, but it was not until 1986, after several efforts after leaving Zhongnanhai, that she was able to officially become a member of the Communist Party.
1976 was a very unusual year for the sons and daughters of China, and it is still sad to recall what happened in this year. First, on January 8, Premier Zhou died forever because of bladder cancer after ineffective rescue, and then on July 6, Mr. Zhu died of cold and wind and cold because he was infected with foreign guests.
The death of two good friends who had established a deep friendship with the chairman since the revolutionary period made the chairman unable to let go for a long time. He ignored the doctor's persuasion and devoted more energy to his usual work.
Since the death of Mr. Zhu, Chairman Mao has had to use nasal feeding because he cannot complete the swallowing action on his own. At the same time, pulmonary heart disease often afflicted him. This made Zhang Yufeng and Meng Jinyun, who were taking care of them on the side, feel painful. During this time, the Chairman often had insomnia all night and had to resort to sleeping pills to fall asleep briefly.
In the early morning of July 28, the Tangshan earthquake struck, killing 240,000 people in their sleep by collapsing buildings. When he heard that his beloved people had been affected by the disaster, the chairman was deeply saddened, and he summoned Hua Guofeng and asked him to settle down the lives of the people in the disaster area and to visit the disaster-stricken people on his behalf.
Although during this period the Chairman was in a semi-coma for a long time due to his extreme physical weakness. But as long as he woke up briefly, he would definitely personally read the documents sent by Tang Shan, even if it was only a short sentence, he would carefully read it several times.
However, under the torment of illness, the chairman's physical condition became weaker and weaker. One day in September, Meng Jinyun had just returned home from a leave of absence, when suddenly someone came looking for him. Meng Jinyun, who realized the serious situation, found that after returning to Zhongnanhai, he suddenly fell ill and caused the chairman to have a heart attack, and the situation was very critical. Finally, after 20 minutes of emergency rescue by the doctor, the chairman was barely able to get out of danger.
On September 8, despite his physical discomfort, the chairman worked with his sick body for several hours. At 7:10 p.m., the chairman suddenly became short of breath, whispered in his mouth, and then fell into a coma, and when he heard the chairman's words, Meng Jinyun burst into tears.
The doctor brought an oxygen injector for the chairman, but the chairman did not recover as usual this time. Seeing that the chairman's state was in danger of life, the anxious doctors used various first aid methods to rescue the chairman for 4 hours, but they still could not prevent the chairman from leaving.
At 00:10 on September 9, 1976, Chairman Mao, the great leader of the Chinese, stopped beating his heart at the age of 83.
