"Such a person, for a thousand years, I will not meet my birthday." Swing the sun and moon long pen, write the thunder immortal text. --Hu Qiaomu
Mention the name Hu Qiaomu, many people may feel strange.
Maybe he didn't have a reputation as another literati, maybe he wasn't as well-known as the Ten Marshals, but his identity was not simple.
Hu Qiaomu was the head of the Propaganda Department, the president of the Academy of Social Sciences, and the deputy secretary-general of the Central Committee.
However, no matter how many identities he has, for him, his most basic identity is only one, that is, the secretary of the great Chairman Mao.
Hu Qiaomu has been the secretary of the great man for 25 years, but for various reasons, he has not seen the great man for nearly 10 years. His last encounter with the great man also became the biggest regret of his life, and until his old age, he still regretted why he did not talk to Chairman Mao much.
What is going on here, and what kind of story does Chairman Mao and Hu Qiaomu have?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" >, born into a famous family, talented</h1>
In 1912, Hu Qiaomu was born in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, and his father was a famous Yancheng patriot: Hu Qidong.
Hu Qidong was born in a wealthy family, since he was a child he was serious and studious, like to read well, especially for poetry, has a very high talent, leaving a number of classics passed down from generation to generation.
He was once a fighter against Yuan Shikai, and he also discussed major anti-Japanese events with Liu Shaoqi, Chen Yi and others.
Under the influence of his father, Hu Qiaomu developed a strong interest in literature from an early age, and under the enlightenment of his father, before going to school, he had a deep literary foundation and could recite and recite many poems.
After Hu Qiaomu went to school, his academic performance was very good, and after he went to middle school, he began to write poetry. He is a famous talent in the school.
After graduating from high school at the age of 18, he was admitted to Tsinghua University with excellent results and became a member of the Communist Youth League.
As a child of a famous patriot, Hu Qiaomu wanted to become a patriotic party member very early on, and he had a deep yearning to become a party member, which also became a small wish of his youth.
Unexpectedly, however, this wish was fulfilled when he was 22 years old.
In the days that followed, Hu Qiaomu actively threw himself into the anti-Japanese movement, using his pen as a weapon and writing a number of thought-provoking articles, while attacking the inhumane crimes of the Japanese army, he also advocated that the Chinese people be brave enough to resist the aggression of the Japanese army, defend the motherland, and defend their hometown.
Hu Qiaomu is talented and extraordinary. He successively served as the secretary of the Communist Youth League Committee and the director of the Propaganda Department of the Communist Youth League, and after 1937, he was transferred to the Propaganda Department of the Youth Federation Office and served as a minister.
When he worked in the Propaganda Department, he was not only conscientious and responsible, but also checked every propaganda manuscript countless times to ensure the accuracy of the words and words used, and often wrote one inspiring article after another.
During that time, the articles of the Propaganda Department were undoubtedly one of the strong spiritual pillars that encouraged the hearts and minds of the masses.
In 1939, in order to commemorate the May Fourth Movement, Hu Qiaomu published an article entitled "Ideological Problems in the Youth Movement".
In this article, Hu Qiaomu once again shows his excellent writing, as well as his unique views, which have aroused the deep thinking of countless people and are firmly remembered.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > two, a blockbuster, become a powerful player around the great</h1>
In 1941, shortly after Hu Qiaomu got married, Wang Ruofei, who was then the secretary-general, found Hu Qiaomu to send him a wedding blessing, in addition, Wang Ruofei also told him another piece of good news: the great man "named" him.
Hearing this news, Hu Qiaomu was very shocked, and later, Wang Ruofei told Hu Qiaomu:
"The great man lacks a secretary by his side, and he asks you to take up a post."
In this regard, Hu Qiaomu felt flattered, he had never met Chairman Mao, let alone contacted him, why did Chairman Mao value him so much? This made Hu Qiaomu very puzzled.
Later, after Wang Ruofei's explanation, Hu Qiaomu learned. It was because the article "Ideological Problems in the Youth Movement" written in 1939 was appreciated by Chairman Mao, so after some understanding, he felt that he was a talented person, so he decided to transfer him to his side as a secretary.
When Hu Qiaomu first met Chairman Mao, he was embarrassed and uneasy, and the image of Chairman Mao in his heart was high and out of reach. He never expected to have the opportunity to meet Chairman Mao and even "work together."
However, the awkward atmosphere did not last long, and Chairman Mao simply inquired about Hu Qiaomu's information and began to bury his head.
This made Hu Qiaomu even more uneasy; he had never had experience as a secretary, still less had contact with Chairman Mao, was not familiar with Chairman Mao's temper and habits, and even did not even know what his work and tasks were at that time.
Until he saw Chairman Mao proofreading the documents, Hu Qiaomu hurriedly applied to Chairman Mao: "Leave the work of proofreading to me!" Chairman Mao smiled and agreed.
Faced with the "first job" after taking office, Hu Qiaomu was unusually attentive, and hundreds of documents did not have a single wrong word, a typo, or even every punctuation was accurate, which made Chairman Mao very satisfied.
Soon, Hu Qiaomu received his first writing task, and Chairman Mao asked him to write an article entitled "Su Bi Sheng, De Bi Defeat" in view of the "Soviet-German War", and pointed out the general direction of this article for Hu Qiaomu.
After Receiving the task, Hu Qiaomu rushed back to his cave to write, and it took only an hour to drive out the manuscript.
The content of the article is sharp and the analysis is well organized, and Chairman Mao can publish it with only minor modifications. This made Chairman Mao greatly appreciate Hu Qiaomu's ability and entrust him with heavy responsibilities.
Since then, as long as Chairman Mao attended the occasion, Hu Qiaomu's figure can often be seen.
In 1945, Chairman Mao led Premier Zhou Enlai and others to Chongqing to negotiate with Chiang Kai-shek. There were only two people who were always with Chairman Mao, one was a guard who accompanied Chairman Mao all year round, and the other was Hu Qiaomu.
Hu Qiaomu witnessed the entire process of the negotiations, but only two months later, Chiang Kai-shek unilaterally tore up the agreement in his New Year's speech.
Faced with this situation, Chairman Mao immediately named Hu Qiaomu, wrote articles, wrote out the facts, and "fought back."
Hu Qiaomu immediately began to write articles, sharp words, and clearly explained Chiang Kai-shek's slander against our party.
At the age of 36, Hu Qiaomu was appointed deputy director of the Central Propaganda Department and editor-in-chief of Xinhua News Agency, and then successively appointed, director of the General Administration of Information, president of xinhua news agency, secretary general of the cultural and educational committee, and other positions.
In order to better accomplish his tasks and live up to Chairman Mao's trust in him, Hu Qiaomu worked day and night to earnestly and earnestly, and when handling the tasks entrusted to him by various posts, he also had to undertake his most responsible work, the work of "being Chairman Mao's secretary."
Due to his busy work, Hu Qiaomu's physical condition was weakening day by day, and he was hospitalized many times for treatment and recuperation.
However, every time his health just improved, he threw himself into his work again, causing his condition to become more and more serious.
At the age of 49, Hu Qiaomu finally became seriously ill and had to "ask Chairman Mao for sick leave" and left Chairman Mao's side.
In this regard, although he was still Chairman Mao's secretary, he lost the opportunity to accompany Chairman Mao.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > haven't seen each other for three or ten years, and the last time we met became an eternal regret</h1>
Although he left Chairman Mao's side, he became a "poet friend" with the chairman.
After more than three years of cultivation, Hu Qiaomu's body was no longer in serious trouble, and he began to write several poems one after another, which were delivered to Chairman Mao's hands. Chairman Mao greatly appreciated it after reading it, and after making a simple revision, he published it.
Although letters were exchanged frequently, there was little chance of seeing the President again.
In 1966, Chairman Mao came to the city where he was recuperating to attend a conference. Hu Qiaomu, who had not seen Chairman Mao for 5 years, wanted to meet the chairman, so he went to the place where the chairman rested. However, Hu Qiaomu, who used to accompany Chairman Mao, only after a long period of application was approved and was able to meet with the chairman.
Hu Qiaomu, who had not seen Chairman Mao for a long time, felt a lot of emotions in his heart, and had many things he wanted to say to the chairman, but when he saw Chairman Mao, he could not say a word.
After Chairman Mao saw him, he simply explained a few words and then threw himself into his busy work again. Hu Qiaomu returned home in a daze, and it was very unpleasant along the way.
In his later years, he was often annoyed that if he had spoken a few words to Chairman Mao at that time, if he had not left Chairman Mao, because no one had expected that this would be the last time he would have seen Chairman Mao in his life.
In 1975, Hu Qiaomu was appointed director of the Policy Research Office of the State Council, and he finally returned to work, thinking that this time he would finally have the opportunity to meet with Chairman Mao again, but no matter how he applied, he was not approved.
In 1976, Chairman Mao died, and Hu Qiaomu was deeply saddened because he never had the opportunity to see Chairman Mao again, and he never had the opportunity to speak to Chairman Mao again.
At this time, it had been ten years since he had last seen Chairman Mao.
Hu Qiaomu was Chairman Mao's secretary for 25 years and accompanied Chairman Mao for 20 years.
However, since his last meeting with the chairman in 1966, the secretary has not seen the chairman for 10 years, and Hu Qiaomu's last meeting with Chairman Mao has become the biggest regret in Hu Qiaomu's life.
He regretted that he hadn't said anything about that meeting, why he hadn't spoken to the chairman for a few more words and stayed for a few more minutes.
