Chairman Mao's life and work are full of wisdom and "small things" that make people feel kind! (2) Last time, we talked about the "collective" birthday of the great leader Chairman Mao and the guards, and from the simple and happy birthday "small things", we can have a more intuitive and profound understanding of Chairman Mao's life of "hard work, simplicity, diligence and thrift", and then more comprehensively understand Chairman Mao's great and "ordinary" life. Today, Siyu will reminisce with you about a "small thing" in the past with Chairman Mao and his model worker, Hubei cotton grower Yan Taoxiang, and to experience and feel Chairman Mao's mind and wisdom together.
In 1958, when a model worker was receiving Chairman Mao, he suddenly sneezed at Chairman Mao, and the spit star sprayed directly into Chairman Mao's face, which made the model worker and all the people present at the time feel embarrassed and nervous!
Perhaps, some people want to ask: How did the people present defuse the embarrassing scene when such a "strange" scene suddenly appeared, and how did the great leader Chairman Mao deal with it?
Today, Siyu will look back at history with you, understand the wisdom of the Chairman through the "small things" in Chairman Mao's life and work, and feel the chairman's cordiality and greatness from these "small things".
It was the early winter of 1958, and in order to grasp the first-hand information of China's agricultural development in a timely and accurate manner, and to investigate and judge some problems existing in China's agricultural development, Chairman Mao took a special train all the way south to Xiaogan, Hubei Province.
When the special train stopped at the Xiaogan Railway Station, Chairman Mao met with some local cadres and model peasant representatives on the special train.
During the meeting, Chairman Mao quickly found that Yan Taoxiang, a Hubei cotton expert who had been rated as a national model labor representative at that time, did not appear in the crowd to be received, so he asked: "Why didn't Comrade Yan Taoxiang, an expert cotton grower in Hubei, come?" ”
The local cadre hastily explained: "The chairman of the report, Comrade Yan Taoxiang has a cold, she is afraid of infecting you, so she waited outside the carriage and did not come up." ”
Chairman Mao listened to the cadre's explanation, smiled and said very indifferently: "It's just a small cold, how can it be transmitted to me?" Hurry up and invite Comrade Yan Taoxiang in. ”
When Chairman Mao took the initiative to reach out and hold Chairman Mao's warm hand, just when he wanted to say hello to Chairman Mao, a big sneeze that was not "appropriate" suddenly "sprayed thin" out, and the spit star sprayed directly into Chairman Mao's face!
Seeing this scene, everyone present was stunned, and Yan Taoxiang felt even more helpless, and she didn't know what to say when she had prepared a "basket" of words.
"What can I do about this?" Just when everyone was feeling very nervous and did not know how to be good, Chairman Mao smiled and said a word humorously and wisely: "Comrade Yan Taoxiang, this is a big thunder, and a small rain." ”
Listening to Chairman Mao's words, everyone's hearts that had previously "hung" to their throats and eyes suddenly relaxed, and they all laughed one after another.
When Chairman Mao saw that Yan Taoxiang still hadn't completely relaxed, he smiled and said to her: "Comrade Yan Taoxiang's sneezing is good, and it makes me truly feel the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the people of Xiaogan!" ”
Listening to Chairman Mao's words and feeling the chairman's mind and wisdom, Yan Taoxiang put aside all restraints, laughed, and then had a pleasant conversation and question-and-answer with the chairman.
Some people may say that such "small things" have increased in Chairman Mao's life and work, and there is nothing worth "showing off" or strange. However, it was this small episode in her life that made Yan Taoxiang unforgettable for a lifetime, and inspired her to work more diligently in her post, so that in her later years, whenever she recalled this scene in her life, she would say with great excitement: "Chairman Mao and his old man did not have any leader's shelf, very wise and easy-going." ”
In fact, this is the image of a leader and a great man in the eyes of the vast majority of people who have come into contact with or know Chairman Mao, and Chairman Mao does not have the slightest shelf for the common people at any time. It is conceivable that if Yan Taoxiang's sneezing at that time was directed at the feudal emperor, prince or bureaucrat, even if the spit did not spray on the face of the people, what followed was not an earth-shattering slap, and what awaited her could never be a "good" fate, and it was even very likely that the family would be destroyed.
Therefore, between this positive and negative, we have even more appreciated the true meaning of "small things" and in Chairman Mao's wisdom his feelings of being close to the people and loving the people, so as to love and respect the great leader Chairman Mao even more, and may the brilliance of Chairman Mao's thinking always shine on the Chinese nation and guide our cause from one victory to a greater victory!
