Mao Zedong was never polite in front of his close comrades-in-arms and staff, and there was no red tape;
Indoors, he usually wears pajamas to eat, rest, work, and study;
In his later years, he was especially active around the large bed, reading books and approving documents on the bed.
Mao zedong rarely left his bedroom except to receive foreign guests to the Yi Nian Hall; sometimes Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, or other central leaders were invited to discuss important matters.
Mao Zedong reclined on a large bed or sat upright.
Premier Zhou and other leaders, familiar with the chairman's personality and habits, entered his bedroom, moved his chair, sat down in front of the large bed, and then held a meeting to discuss things.
Wu Lengxi's "Remembering Chairman Mao" recounts:
"In 1957, shortly after the Decision of the Party Central Committee to begin rectification, it was closed on May 18;
Chairman Mao convened a meeting of the Politburo Standing Committee at his residence, the Juxiang Bookstore in Fengzeyuan, Zhongnanhai;
When I was informed and rushed to Chairman Mao's bedroom, Comrade Shaoqi, Premier Zhou, Comrade Xiaoping (all of whom were members of the Standing Committee) and Comrades Peng Zhen, Lu Dingyi, Hu Qiaomu, and others were already present.
...... When I entered the door, I sat down at the foot of Chairman Mao's large wooden bed on the left side of the bed, next to the small desk (it can be said that this is the position where I am accustomed to sitting, both the last seat and the nearest desk to write something).
Chairman Mao held a cigarette in his right hand and a newspaper in his left hand and asked me:
Have you seen the New People's Daily on May 13? There was an article in the newspaper titled "Where are the pioneers?" "," signed by Lin Fang, that is, Zhao Chaojian, the content is quite sharp, but the writing is more polite. ’”
Based on the literature: "Anecdotes of Mao Zedong's Relics in the South China Sea", Wu Lengxi's "Remembrance of Chairman Mao"
