On the evening of September 8, 1976, Chairman Mao suddenly woke up Meng Jinyun, who was on duty in the hospital room, and she hurried to the chairman's bed, looked at the chairman's pale face, leaned over and said: "Chairman, what is wrong with you?" After Chairman Mao said a word in a weak voice, Meng Jinyun's tears couldn't stop flowing, and he immediately called a doctor.
After the doctor's hard work, the chairman's life finally stopped in the early morning of September 9, and the words spoken to Meng Jinyun became the chairman's last words. At the last moment of the President's life, why was she by the President's side?
Meng Jinyun was admitted to the Air Politics Song and Dance Troupe at the age of twelve, and in 1959 he was selected to enter the dance academy class, and in April 1963, Meng Jinyun and others were selected to go to Zhongnanhai on a mission, which was to dance with the chiefs.
Air Politics Song and Dance Troupe
At that time, Xiao Meng was only 14 years old, according to the reason, such an age is not in line with the requirements, most of the people who went to Zhongnanhai to dance were some old comrades, saying that they were old comrades, but they were not old, they were all young people in their twenties, but they got married, had children and children, and there were not many people who could dance with the chief, and this time the organization sent Meng Jinyun to invite them to meet the world and take over their class.
That was the first time Meng Jinyun had gone to Zhongnanhai, and it was also the first time he had seen so many chiefs. Some chiefs danced very gracefully, and some chiefs had a clumsy pace, but these chiefs were amiable and never brought official frames. Just as Meng Jinyun was looking east and west, the music suddenly stopped, and the dance steps stopped. The little friend pushed Meng Jinyun's arm and said: It is Chairman Mao who is coming.
Hearing Chairman Mao's name, Meng Jinyun's mind instantly thought of a song; "The east is red, the sun is rising, and mao zedong comes out of the east..." Meng Jinyun held his breath and stared at Chairman Mao silently in the corner of the ball. Chairman Mao's dance steps are very skilled, unlike the first dance, his steps are quite relaxed.
After a piece of music, Chairman Mao stopped and sat down on the sofa he had prepared earlier to drink tea and rest. From the time Chairman Mao entered the scene to the time she rested, Meng Jinyun's eyes never left Chairman Mao, and she could not believe that the great man of China was in front of her. The chairman raised his head, just in line with Meng Jinyun's eyes, the chairman found this clever little girl, smiled at her slightly, Meng Jinyun although a little timid, but still returned a smiley face past, at this time the music also happened to sound, is a happy "Happy Encounter". Meng Jinyun suddenly remembered that the "old comrade" had told her to take over the shift, so she walked out of the corner of the dance floor and walked to Chairman Mao's position.
She walked to Chairman Mao, learned the gestures of the old comrades at the beginning, and made an invitation to the chairman, the chairman looked at the lovely girl in front of her, really could not bear to refuse, took Meng Jinyun's hand, and returned to the dance floor again, Meng Jinyun was very nervous, the chairman first asked Meng Jinyun, where is home, what is his name, Meng Jinyun nervously introduced his name, as well as his hometown Hubei. The chairman seemed to see Meng Jinyun's nervousness, so he joked with her, saying that she was a little Meng Fuzi, and said that there was only a Dongting Lake between them, which was half a fellow countryman.
After saying a few words to the chairman, Meng Jinyun's nervousness instantly dissipated, and he joked with Chairman Mao. Say that he is not a nine-headed bird in Hubei. After this dance, Meng Jinyun's cuteness and frankness also left a deep impression on Chairman Mao. Later, every time he went to the Zhongnanhai Ball, Chairman Mao would take the initiative to dance with Meng Jinyun.
Later, due to the turmoil of the whole society, the zhongnanhai dance club was canceled, Meng Jinyun could no longer see Chairman Mao, she was also sent to prison for some special reasons, and later after being released from prison, she worked as a nurse in a hospital.
It was not until 1975 that Meng Jinyun returned to Zhongnanhai again and came to work next to the chairman, Meng Jinyun still remembers the scene of seeing Chairman Mao that day, Meng Jinyun was worried that Chairman Mao did not recognize himself, so she first introduced herself to Chairman Mao; "Hello Chairman, my name is Meng Jinyun" Chairman Mao laughed and said: "Comrade Xiao Meng, you are half my hometown, how come you still began to introduce yourself!" Knowing that the chairman still recognized himself, Meng Jinyun suddenly felt a lot of emotions, and the chairman was still the original approachable chairman.
Meng Jinyun did not return to Zhongnanhai this time to dance with the chairman, but to take care of Chairman Mao's life and living with other comrades, as the chairman grew older, many things in life needed to be taken care of, Meng Jinyun and comrades could not only do a good job in logistical work, but also added a lot of fun to Chairman Mao's life.
After Xiao Meng came, he often talked and laughed with Chairman Mao. Once, when Meng Jinyun was walking with Chairman Mao in the garden, Chairman Mao said to Meng Jinyun, "Meng Fuzi, come and I will tell you a story." ”
Hearing that the chairman wanted to tell a story, Meng Jinyun deliberately pulled his chair to the chairman's side, and the chairman said: "Today I will tell you the story of a small lice, once upon a time there was a person who did not pay attention to hygiene, and there were many small lice on his body, one day, he caught a small lice from his back, stepped on the ground and said: I thought it was a small lice, it turned out not to be ah.
After a while, another person saw the little lice on the ground and said: I thought it was not a lice, it turned out to be a little lice, Mengfuzi, do you hear the meaning of this story? Meng Jinyun shook his head, and it was not until later that Meng Jinyun understood the true meaning of this sentence, that is, to be a good person and not to tell lies.
Chairman Mao likes to tell stories with Meng Jinyun, he also teaches Meng Jinyun to read, the chairman often in Meng Jinyun's ear chanting: You, you, call you Mengfuzi, really wronged you, you and the historical Mengfuzi are the same ancestor, your surname is Meng, people are also surnamed Meng, people are a university inquirer, you little Mengfuzi, read too little, everyone says that there are poems and books in the belly, you should read more books, I have enough books here, enough for you to read.
Chairman Mao's remarks, meng Jinyun is really a little embarrassed, Meng Jinyun does not like to read is also a reason, she grew up in the song and dance troupe, there is no opportunity to learn cultural lessons, naturally there is no interest in reading, but the chairman in order to be able to cultivate Meng Jinyun's interest in reading, let Meng Jinyun first read some books that interest him.
She turned around in the chairman's study and selected a copy of the "Zizhi Tongjian", and Chairman Mao saw her holding the book out and said: "Xiao Meng, you are still very discerning, I have read this book no less than 17 times, and every time I read it, I have different feelings." You also come to read it, let's communicate. Meng Jinyun was still a little embarrassed by the chairman's words, Xiao Meng was worried that he did not have that perseverance, the chairman heard this, and immediately corrected, This is not perseverance but interest.
After reading it for a few days, Meng Jinyun began to have a new insight into the contents of the book, and she asked the chairman: You have always said that history is a mirror that can look at yourself, but I still don't understand the reason, history looks more like a story. The chairman replied: "Everyone's perspective on reading the book is different, and if the ruler comes to read it, there will be great gains, for example, there is such a sentence in the book: etiquette, righteousness, and shame, the four dimensions of the country, the four dimensions are not open, and the country is destroyed."
The Yongzheng Emperor of the Qing Dynasty looked at it very much and came to the conclusion that to govern the country is to govern the officials, and if the courtiers are incorruptible and insatiable, and the state has no way to govern them, then the world must be in chaos. Meng Jinyun listened quietly, and every time the chairman talked about this book, he was always like a family treasure, and he loved this book all his life.
On May 12, 1976, Chairman Mao met with Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, and that morning, the barber Xiao Zhou specially gave Chairman Mao a haircut and shaved his face. An hour before the reception, Xiao Meng took out a gray woolen costume from the closet. "Chairman, wear this set today, this set of spirit." Xiao Meng gang chairman took off his pajamas and changed into a Zhongshan suit, and after putting them on, Xiao Meng looked left and right, and rolled out his clothes again.
When the time came, Xiao Meng and Xiao Zhang joined Mao Zedong into the hall, the chairman just sat down for two minutes, Hua Guofeng led Lee Kuan Yew to the hall, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Meng quickly came out of the back of the screen, helped Chairman Mao up, the two were afraid of being photographed, and returned to the back of the screen, after the chairman and Lee Kuan Yew shook hands, pounced and sat down, Xiao Meng behind the screen was very nervous, the two of them invariably groaned, and the visit lasted for a few minutes before it ended.
Since this visit, the chairman's body has become weaker, but the chairman is a very stubborn person, still unwilling to inject, nor willing to take medicine, he still believes that with the resistance of his body, he can resist this disease, the chairman's stubborn character, but the medical staff are anxious, had to let Xiao Meng persuade the chairman to accept treatment.
"Chairman, don't you always listen to the opinions of others, people Liu Bocheng's health is not better than yours, with nasogastric tubes, your body is getting better, you always say that you can get rid of the disease by relying on your own resistance, but you don't eat every day, how can you do it?" How can there be resistance without nutrition? After hearing this, the chairman said softly, then try it.
After the nasogastric tube was inserted, the chairman's body changed significantly, and Meng Jinyun was very happy and advised the chairman to listen to the doctor's words. In September 1976, Meng Jinyun took a leave of absence to return home because of an accident at home, and soon after arriving at home, someone looked for her, who turned out to be a staff member of Zhongnanhai and asked her to return to Zhongnanhai immediately.
Xiao Meng returned to the bedroom to see the chairman's face was pale, his breathing was short, and there were several doctors in the bedroom who were struggling to rescue him, and after more than twenty minutes of rescue, the chairman's body finally stabilized. At 7:00 p.m. on September 8, the chairman's breathing became urgent, and Xiao Meng quickly massaged the chairman to make the chairman breathe more smoothly, and the chairman said in a slight voice: "I am very uncomfortable, call the doctor." ”
After the doctors heard Xiao Meng's call, they immediately went to the chairman's bedroom, put the oxygen tube on the chairman's nose, put on the oxygen mask, and after a few minutes, the breathing began to calm down, and when he put on the oxygen injector again, he had no reaction at all, was in a state of extreme coma, and never woke up.
Four hours later, after the doctor's hard work, the chairman's heartbeat stopped at 0:00 on September 9, 1976, and a nurse came out of the chairman's bedroom and said to the person outside the door: The chairman is dead.
After the death of the chairman, Xiao Meng was in the ward, helping the chairman sort out the clothes, she put the chairman's used pencil in her hand and looked at it carefully, this pencil will never be used again, Xiao Meng is trying to take it back as a souvenir, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in the ear: How can you do this, this is not okay, not harmonious. She gently picked up the pencil and put it down gently.
She could no longer hear the chairman's story, no longer had to take turns on duty, and for more than a month, Meng Jinyun was in Mao Zedong's bedroom study, constantly sorting and sorting.
