The founding leader of People's Republic of China (PRC) was the son of a farmer, and he was the "son" of a farmer's friend all his life. Compassion for farmers and the poor is rooted in his blood and flows in his life.
If you want to really get close to Chairman Mao, you should read his biography, his thoughts on governing the country and the party, and his historical achievements, instead of hearsay and malicious smearing. In other words, I'm afraid it will take a long time to really understand Chairman Mao.
Whether the times create heroes or heroes create the times, just like the contradiction contained in Chairman Mao's thought, needs to be treated as "divided into two" and the main aspects of the main contradiction should be grasped. Shaoshanchong and national peril created Chairman Mao, and Chairman Mao created the new China.
Chairman Mao couldn't help crying when he saw the poor. This is not an exaggeration. Even if he goes to the theatre, he can't hide his peasant friends who are suffering in the world.
When it is raining cats and dogs, it is also drying millet. Chairman Mao first helped his neighbor's tenants collect millet and put it in the basket, but his own millet was caught in the rain. Facing his father's scolding, he asked, "Our family is better than others, so we should help others more. They have to pay the rent. If they suffer this kind of disaster again, how can they make a living? "
This little help and sense of responsibility is rooted in his heart, which is inseparable from his mother's teaching.
Chairman Mao wrote in a letter to his close friend Zou Yunzhen: "There are three kinds of people in the world. One is to harm others and benefit others; Second, those who are self-serving and do not harm others; Third, my mother is the third kind of harmful person. " Chairman Mao is also a third kind of person.
Wen, like her name, is simple, hardworking, charitable and sympathetic to the poor. Chairman Mao used to send meals to students from poor families all the year round, and sometimes he even refused to eat them himself. At that time, he sighed in his heart: God, is this China as poor as Shaoshanchong?
Mother didn't scold him after discovering his behavior, but asked him to bring more food to school. Sometimes Chairman Mao would take off his jacket and give it to the ragged and shivering pedestrians on the roadside. Many times, this kind of past seems to exist only in the myth of Confucius and Mencius, and etiquette and music go hand in hand.
The situation in China at that time decided that only Chairman Mao and this peasant class intellectual could save China. He is familiar with the sufferings of farmers and understands their happiness. Only in this way can Chairman Mao finally lead the workers and peasants across the country to achieve revolutionary victory.
Chairman Mao gradually realized that one person, five people and a hundred people can give clothes and porridge, but what about 5,000 people, 50,000 people and 500 million people? As a teenager, he was vague about reform, only knowing that he wanted to study and study for the rise of China. Facts have proved that Chairman Mao was obsessed with his books all his life. He replied, "It is never too old to learn."
From literature, history, philosophy, politics and law, to natural science, the mystery of the universe, from Confucius, Mencius, Laozi and Zhuangzi to the declaration of * * *. Reading and studying is the beginning to change Chairman Mao's fate, and this family style of studying hard, loving learning and being willing to learn has been handed down.
Mao Anying is the eldest son of Chairman Mao. 1946, the eldest son returned from the Soviet Union, and Chairman Mao did not show a trace of spoil.
He invited Mao to eat a big stove and wear cotton-padded clothes and trousers. He asked Mao to take off his military uniform and go deep into the rural areas of northern Shaanxi to learn from farmers. Only when the skin is as black as a farmer and the cocoon is as thick as a farmer can it be considered qualified. This is a kind of family education.
When the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea started, Mao sent an invitation to Peng, the first volunteer soldier in Chinese people's Volunteer Army. Chairman Mao didn't say a word, but when Peng suggested that Mao should not go to war (Chairman Mao lost five relatives successively because of the revolution: Mao Zejian, Yang Kaihui, Mao Zetan, Mao Zemin,), his father resolutely refused.
Then, when Mao Anying died, Chairman Mao held back his tears sadly and still said, "The revolution will pay the price. Kishida fumio is an ordinary soldier. He has done his duty as a member. Don't take this as a big deal just because he is my son. "
Leading by example is the way to practice and inherit Chairman Mao's family style. Chairman Mao's daily necessities are always stronger and more durable than ordinary people. His clothes and trousers are often patched.
When receiving guests, a decent tunic suit is wrapped in a shirt that can't be mended, as are shoes, socks and pajamas. Even a toothbrush is only thrown away when it is "bald", which is the memory of the staff around. Those bare toothbrushes remain in Chairman Mao's relics, alerting generation after generation.
Chairman Mao's only luxury is an Omega watch made in Switzerland, which was also given by Guo Moruo, the Chongqing negotiator. This watch has been with Chairman Mao all his life. In his words, "the restoration is new."
Imagine why Chairman Mao's revolution was successful. In addition to advanced Marxism-Leninism, it is also inseparable from the empathy of sharing weal and woe with farmers. Which leader in history can do this? Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto once praised: "There can only be a romantic figure like Chairman Mao in a century or even a thousand years."
Chairman Mao is not only a politician and strategist, but also a "painter". Sketched the grand plan for the founding of the country and painted a colorful grand blueprint for the motherland. From new democratic industrialization to socialist industrialization, from backward agricultural countries to advanced industrial countries, it is Chairman Mao's vision to establish a complete national industrial system.
Restore the national economy, the first five-year plan and the second five-year plan, give priority to the development of heavy industry, consolidate the industrial base, vigorously develop the transportation industry and promote the "three routes." On the premise of missing two industrial revolutions, China has completed the 300-year journey of the West in 60 years, which fully embodies the advantages of the socialist system in concentrating on doing great things.
Through the implementation of land reform throughout the country, the feudal exploitative economy was eradicated, the peasants were liberated, and the days when thousands of peasants in Qian Qian were oppressed were ended. Farmers really turned over and became masters, which promoted the collective economy and solved the problem of farmers' eating.
The second step is the socialist transformation of agriculture and agricultural cooperation, which has greatly liberated the productive forces and consolidated the alliance of workers and peasants.
1958 Chairman Mao put forward the eight-character policy of agricultural development: water, fertilizer, soil, planting, density, safety, management and industry. The artificial construction of 84,000 reservoirs, the production of chemical fertilizer from scratch, reaching100000 tons, and the successful experiment of Yuan Longping 1974 hybrid rice ... all of these have profound implications for the "three rural issues" that are still worrying today.
It is the wisdom of a politician to correctly handle the relationship between agriculture and industry, especially between agriculture and light industry and heavy industry. After certain achievements have been made in the development of heavy industry, we should seize the reins of light industry and not attach too much importance to heavy industry as in eastern European countries, which will inevitably lead to the acclimatization of industrial structure.
Chairman Mao pointed out in "On Ten Major Relationships" that adjusting the proportion of light and heavy agriculture and developing agriculture and light industry are indispensable and complement each other.
In terms of science and technology, China's first atomic bomb exploded successfully in June/KOOC-0/964+/KOOC-0/0/6, the first hydrogen bomb exploded successfully in June/KOOC-0/967, and the first artificial earth satellite was successfully launched on April 24,/KOOC-0/970. In just 20 years, China has broken through the blockade of imperialism, broken through the barriers of science and technology, developed "two bombs and one satellite" and gained a firm foothold in this world.
Subsequently, nuclear submarines, synthetic insulin, synthetic genes and other high technologies rose rapidly in China. We often can't imagine why the most dangerous desert also has the most beautiful flowers.
Chairman Mao put forward at the second meeting of the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1958: "We should also build some satellites, and China should develop its own high technology." The deployment plan of Chairman Mao's era was far-sighted many years ago.
In addition, it is the party style of Chairman Mao's era to strictly manage the party and not let go of a corrupt element. The Huang incident is the best proof that the emperor broke the law with the common people. Chairman Mao wrote in his letter to party member: "No matter what kind of good friends and comrades make mistakes, we must never relax our principled stand."
As for Huang, the former hero who killed female students, Chairman Mao said that if he was pardoned, "there is no way to educate the party, the Red Army, the revolutionaries and the ordinary people." Compared with the current world style in which senior officials are corrupt, abuse power for personal gain and some cadres' children are bullying, we can only sigh that the legacy of our ancestors is hard to find.
It is necessary and urgent to regain Chairman Mao's principles of governing the party, strictly manage the party and ensure its purity and advanced nature. As Chairman Mao said, "Governing the party is like governing officials." Malicious smearing focuses on amplifying Chairman Mao's shortcomings, which can't erase his achievements, but only expose his ignorance.
Approaching Chairman Mao, understanding Chairman Mao and understanding Chairman Mao's thoughts is an eternal and energetic proposition. We may still need a long time, but if we read it step by step, page by page, contact China's modern history, ancient history, world history and China's revolutionary history, and browse the list of a great man, Chairman Mao, the soul in the book will naturally awaken.
