On September 9, 2023, heavy rain in Beijing failed to dampen the city's enthusiasm, especially on Chang'an Avenue, where eyes were focused on three great landmarks: Tiananmen Square, the Monument to the People's Heroes, and the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall. These three iconic buildings stand like majestic giants, shouldering the weight of history and the reverence of the people.
However, among these three landmarks, the special status of the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall cannot be questioned. Every day, at any time, there are always long lines of tourists waiting to enter this memorial hall and meet the spirit of Chairman Mao. But in this place of admiration, there is a special guest, she is Chairman Mao's eldest daughter, Li Min.
On September 9, 2023, the 47th anniversary of Chairman Mao's death, Li Min stepped into the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall again, with affectionate memories of his great and kind father.
However, this day is not only Chairman Mao's birthday, but also a moment to remember. The People's Daily published an article commemorating the great man, calling Chairman Mao "China's greatest patriot and national hero of modern times" and a great leader who changed China's destiny. At the same time, the public account of the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall released precious records and recorded the last days of Chairman Mao's life.
This record is like a window into time, allowing us to witness the tenacity of Chairman Mao in his final moments. In his dying life, he continued to work, and the last time he checked the documents took place just eight hours before his death. This is not an isolated case, Chairman Mao continued to give for the country and the people in the last months of his life.
Chairman Mao's last meeting with foreign guests, the last telegram, the last time he circled documents, and the last time he checked documents all show that Chairman Mao's love for the country and the people has always been the same, and his original intention will never change.
At midnight on September 9, Chairman Mao finally passed away, and the red sun was eclipsed on the night before dawn. The funeral committee decided to go against Chairman Mao's wishes and preserve his body, so that the people of the whole country would remember him forever.
This decision may have gone against Chairman Mao's early cremation initiative, but Chairman Mao's position was different. There are many precedents in the world that show the importance of preserving the remains of leaders, as did Lenin, Ho Chi Minh and others. Hua Guofeng approved this decision, and then embalmed the remains, selected the site for the memorial hall, and made the crystal coffin.
After more than a year of hard work, these efforts were finally successfully achieved, and now we can see the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall and the remains of Chairman Mao preserved in it.
Today, Chairman Mao has been laid to rest in a crystal coffin for 47 years. Every year, thousands of people come to remember him, including his children.
On Chairman Mao's birthday this year, Li Min came to the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall again, even though she was already 87 years old. In the morning, Li Min came to the memorial hall in a wheelchair, dressed in simple and solemn clothing, her face was covered by a mask, but the traces of time left a deep mark on her forehead and silver hair.
Li Min's physical condition is not good, her health has been troubled, she is in a wheelchair, and her ability to exercise is severely limited. However, despite this, she still came to remember her father on this day and presented two bouquets of autumn chrysanthemums. Li Min, the only surviving child between Chairman Mao and He Zizhen, was born shortly after the Red Army arrived in Yan'an.
Chairman Mao loved this Qianjin deeply, calling her "Jiaojiao", and whenever he was tired from work, Chairman Mao would play with her to relieve her exhaustion. Li Min's name is taken from Chairman Mao's pseudonym "Li Desheng", and the character "Min" means "a gentleman is sensitive to deeds and to words". However, because his mother fled the Soviet Union and Chairman Mao was busy with work, Li Min was sent to the Soviet Union to live with his mother in his childhood. When she returned home, it was already on the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
