Chen Yonggui's memorial service: Hua Guofeng's silence and tears
In 1986, the death of Chen Yonggui, a vice premier who had left a deep mark on China's political scene, not only attracted widespread attention from all walks of life, but also staged a moving scene at the memorial service. At that time, as a colleague and close friend who had fought side by side with Chen Yonggui, Hua Guofeng attended the memorial service. Impressively, Hua Guofeng did not say a word throughout the memorial service, but after bowing three times, he burst into tears. What kind of emotions and stories are hidden behind this?
Chen Yonggui, a political figure who came out of the dirt, won the respect of the vast number of peasants and some political colleagues with his indomitable spirit and pragmatic style. His life can be said to be a microcosm of China's agricultural and rural development. As Vice Premier, Chen Yonggui shoulders great responsibilities, and although he is not highly educated, his diligence and perseverance in handling government affairs are admirable. Every document and every decision embodies his hard work and sweat.
The relationship between Hua Guofeng and Chen Yonggui is not only a partner at work, but also a close friend in life. They have experienced many ups and downs together, and jointly made suggestions for the development of China's agriculture and rural areas. Hua Guofeng has expressed his respect and appreciation for Chen Yonggui on many occasions, and he believes that Chen Yonggui is an excellent representative of Chinese farmers and an expert on China's agricultural and rural issues. Chen Yonggui also expressed his gratitude to Hua Guofeng for his leadership and support, and the friendship between the two was deep and sincere.
After Chen Yonggui's death, Hua Guofeng, as the only leader to attend the funeral, can imagine his mood. At the memorial service, Hua Guofeng didn't say a word, maybe he was recalling the days spent with Chen Yonggui, or maybe he was thinking about the precious wealth that Chen Yonggui left to future generations. After bowing three times, he burst into tears, not only for the grief of Chen Yonggui's death, but also for the deep friendship in the past years.
The interaction between Chen Yonggui and Hua Guofeng is not only a personal emotional exchange, but also a historical witness to the development of China's agriculture and rural areas. They jointly promoted the "Learning from Dazhai" movement, and the vast number of peasants actively engaged in agricultural production and worked hard to increase crop yields under their call. Although this movement was controversial at the time, it undoubtedly injected new vitality into the development of Chinese agriculture. Thanks to their efforts, China's agriculture and rural areas have undergone tremendous changes, and the living standards of the peasants have also been markedly improved.
However, history is always full of twists and turns. Chen Yonggui's political career came to an end when he left office in 1980. But this did not affect his status in the hearts of the people, and he remained a hero and role model in the hearts of the Chinese peasants. And Hua Guofeng, after the death of Chen Yonggui, also continued to contribute his own strength to China's development.
Chen Yonggui's memorial service is not only a personal mourning for him, but also a review of the history of China's agricultural and rural development. Hua Guofeng's silence and tears are a deep nostalgia and emotion for this period of history. Their stories will forever remain in the long river of Chinese history and inspire future generations to continue to move forward.
Looking back on this period of history, we can't help but think: In today's rapid development, do we still remember those people who have made arduous efforts for the development of agriculture and rural areas? Can we continue to carry forward their spirit of perseverance, pragmatism, and innovation? The stories of Chen Yonggui and Hua Guofeng tell us that only by not forgetting our original aspiration and keeping our mission firmly in mind can we go further and more steadily in the journey of the new era.
