The revolutionary will is immortal, the revolutionary spirit will endure forever, but the revolutionary ancestors can not escape life, old age, illness and death, so in order to better express respect for them, after the founding of New China, the Party Central Committee decided to build a revolutionary cemetery in Babaoshan, Beijing, to bury the deceased outstanding revolutionary ancestors, so that future generations can mourn for it, such as Zhu Dezhu, Chen Yi, Chen Yi, and Mr. Dong Biwu, but there is no absolute in everything, and there is such a second-generation leader of New China who is not buried in Babaoshan, and this person is Chairman Hua Guofenghua.
Hua Guofeng, as the second-generation leader of New China, believes that many viewers have only two words of impression of him, that is, "transition", and indeed in the long river of history, as a transitional person who has existed briefly between Chairman Mao and Chairman Deng, it is difficult for everyone to remember this is very normal, but in fact, President Hua has made no less contribution to the country than anyone.
When we delve deeper into the background of Chairman Hua's succession, we can clearly find that it was 1976, and Chairman Mao was seriously ill in bed, so choosing a trusted successor became the most important thing for Chairman Mao at this time.
As for who to choose, Chairman Mao was also hesitant again and again; most of the revolutionaries of the older generation were similar in age to him, and it was very likely that they would die in a few years in power, so the frequent replacement of the head of state was not what his old man wanted to see, and based on this, the training of the second-generation leadership group became Chairman Mao's best choice...
On April 30, 1976, Chairman Mao's body was already too physical to speak, but he still found a favorite successor, this person was Hua Guofeng, who had achieved great political achievements in his hometown in Hunan, and he handed Hua Guofeng a note that he had written long ago, which read: "You do things, I am assured"...
In this way, Comrade Hua Guofeng became the de facto ruler of New China after chairman Mao's death, and although he was young and young and experienced, he encountered some resistance at the beginning of his administration, but with his spirit of being down-to-earth and working hard for the revolution, he still stabilized the social situation at that time and made economic construction the main task of the country again.
President Hua can be said to be a hero who saved New China from the brink of danger, he fulfilled the task given to him by Chairman Mao very well, and also paved the way for Chairman Deng to carry out reform and opening up in the future.
So why is that? Is it because Chairman Hua is young and not senior enough? Speaking of seniority, although Chairman Hua cannot catch up with Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou, his experience is also an outstanding member of the revolutionary ranks.
As a second-generation revolutionary in New China, President Hua had a different experience of getting acquainted with the Communist Party at the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the early stage of the War of Liberation, as early as 1935, when the fourteen-year-old Hua Guofeng was admitted to the Jiaocheng County Middle School, the underground organization of our Party intersected with him, and it was also at this time that Hua Guofeng began to read Marxist books under their influence and planted a seed of communists in his heart.
In 1937, Hua Guofeng, who had achieved success in his studies, originally wanted to continue his studies, but it was a pity that the iron hooves of the Japanese Kou had already stepped on the Central Plains from the northeast, and in the face of such a severe situation, as a patriot, Hua Guofeng naturally would not stand idly by, so he did not hesitate to go against his mother's wishes to let him study, but also to join the anti-Japanese team of the Communist Party of China and contribute to the country and the nation.
From this time on, he changed his name, from Su Zhu to Hua Guofeng, which means the vanguard of the Chinese nation's resistance to Japan and save the country, although he was young, but our party superiors saw his enthusiasm for saving the country from danger, so they still incorporated him into the Jiaocheng anti-Japanese guerrilla group, and soon absorbed it into the big family of the Communist Party of China.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Hua Guofeng was not afraid of hardships and dangers, nor was he afraid of life and death; a literati rushed forward even more than the rough people, and in the face of the enemy's sweeping, as a special commissioner, he took the lead in repelling the japanese offensive several times, faced with the chaotic anti-Japanese situation in Shanxi, and as the director of the Anti-Japanese Federation for The Salvation of the Nation, he took the lead, moved by the "three inches of uncorrupted tongue" to understand the reason, brought together the broad masses of Chinese sons and daughters, and formed the famous Jiaocheng County guerrilla brigade, that is, the prototype of the revolutionary contingent in "The Legend of the Heroes of Lü Liang." And he also had a well-known nickname - Hua Political Commissar.
Under the leadership of Hua Guofeng, the local officers and men who were called "rabble-rousers" by the Japanese Kou grew rapidly, and in just a few years, their weapons and equipment changed a bit, their combat skills became more and more skillful, and their tactical tactics and tactics greatly improved, as if they had become an iron army that made the Japanese Kou feel frightened.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Hua Guofeng, as a civilian cadre of our party, did not stop his steps, but on the contrary threw himself into the battle to liberate the whole country without hesitation; of course, unlike the military generals, although the number of times he went into battle to kill the enemy was not much, he completed the land reform in the Shanxi region, twisted the local peasant masses into a rope, and provided countless sources and materials for the liberation war.
Who doesn't love such a young, daring to fight, and being wise and courageous? The Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao were naturally no exception, especially Chairman Mao, who had long noticed Comrade Hua Guofeng's outstanding ability to govern the government; so at the end of the Liberation War, when the large-scale campaign in the whole country was nearing the end and the focus of the Work of the Party Central Committee shifted to building the country, Chairman Mao entrusted Hua Guofeng with an arduous task, that is, to go to the Xiangtan area of Hunan Province to help the local people resume production and construction.
Why is this a difficult task? Because the Xiangtan area, as Chairman Mao's hometown, was hit the most severely by the Kuomintang reactionaries during the Liberation War, the local area was devastated, the people's lives were miserable, and the people's morale to restore production was extremely low.
However, how could Hua Guofeng, who had experienced countless difficulties and obstacles in the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation, give up lightly; building the motherland was the responsibility of every communist, not to mention that this was still Chairman Mao's hometown, and this was Chairman Mao's task of testing his ability, so after he arrived in the Xiangtan area, he did not even rest on his feet, and immediately threw himself into work.
In the Xiangtan area, Hua Guofeng perfectly integrated his experience in Shanxi's land reform with the actual local conditions, put agricultural production in the first place in restoring the economy, and greatly aroused the enthusiasm of the peasant masses; in just a few years, The original stagnant Xiangtan became the vanguard official of the country's grain production, and when Chairman Mao learned of his political achievements in his hometown, he was also extremely satisfied "Parent official", and gave him a high evaluation.
In the Hunan region, Hua Guofeng worked from the secretary of the prefectural party committee to the secretary of the provincial party committee, during which he could be said to have made the whole of Hunan look new. From the construction of large-scale water conservancy projects such as the drainage of Dongting Lake and the Shaoshan Irrigation District to the high support for Yuan Longping's hybrid rice experiment, Hua Guofeng has doubled the total agricultural production of Hunan Province several times, and after the success of the agricultural reform, he has turned non-stop to industrial production, from nitrogen fertilizer, sugar making machines, metallurgical equipment, and automobile production that serve the people's livelihood, to the Xiangqian and Zhiliu railways that connect the industrial convergence of other provinces, Hua Guofeng has transformed a backward agricultural province into an advanced industrial province.
It is precisely with Hua Guofeng's efforts that a precedent has been set for the reform of officials throughout the country, and it is precisely because of his experience that the industrialization process of New China has been greatly accelerated. The reform of Hunan Province seems to be a microcosm of the whole of China, and it can well manage a province that was originally so backward, and it is presumably a task that can be completed by governing the whole country, so since then, with the approval of Chairman Mao, Hua Guofeng has also shifted from the local to the central work.
In 1973, not long after Returning to the Central Committee, Hua Guofeng was successfully elected as a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee, and his main job was to grasp the agricultural work of the whole country, and then in 1976, after the death of Premier Zhou, he served as the second premier of New China, and after the death of Chairman Mao, he became the actual leader of our country. So why wasn't Chairman Hua buried in the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery? In fact, this is his own meaning.
From 1980 to 1981, after stabilizing the situation in the country, President Hua chose to retire from the rapids, first voluntarily resigning as premier of the State Council, and then completely withdrawing from the national leadership team and beginning a peaceful life in his old age. In his lifetime, Chairman Hua has never praised his own merits, nor has he ever regarded himself as a hero, because in his eyes, his contributions to the people should be shared.
Therefore, when choosing a cemetery, Hua Guofeng had instructed that after his death, he must be buried on the GuaShan Mountain in his hometown of Shanxi, where his revolutionary road began, where he grew up since childhood, and there was also a very important reason, that is, because the Guashan Mountain was very "pure"....
