196 1 year, Deng Xiaoping was in Lushan: the "ever-victorious general" on the mahjong table.
Moreover, the summer climate of Lushan Mountain is cool and pleasant. It has been a summer resort since ancient times, and it is also a favorite place for literati. There are many places of interest in Lushan Mountain, but there is one place with the most historical significance, that is, the villas in Lushan Mountain.
Most of these villas are built on the mountain, hidden among pine, cypress and bamboo, just like bright pearls, flashing between the green hills and white clouds of Lushan Mountain.
The stories circulating in these villas and the vivid images of the people of the century have put a mysterious political aura on Lushan Mountain.
There is an American villa numbered "286" at No.4 Middle Road 1 1 Dayuelu, Donggu, Guling. The villa is also built on the mountain, surrounded by ancient trees and bamboos, and the environment is elegant and quiet. This villa was originally numbered 267 Lushan Sanatorium.
Founded in 1903, American missionary Ke Zhinan built this villa for the summer.
1936 the office of the Ministry of education of the national government in Lushan bought the villa as an office. 1949, nationalized after the founding of New China.
196 1 On August 22nd, 2008, the beautiful Lushan Mountain was hidden in clouds, with lush trees and fresh air. From time to time, there are crisp birds singing faintly, and the scenery is beautiful. According to the organization arrangement, Deng Xiaoping, then General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, lived in this villa.
At that time, Yang, the 28-year-old secretary of Lushan Workers' Sanatorium, was in charge of the reception. He is responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of Deng Xiaoping and his wife Zhuo Lin.
During this period, our new China is undergoing a severe test. At that time, we were faced with serious economic difficulties. Deng Xiaoping's visit is to attend the Central Working Conference held by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Lushan.
From August 23rd to September 16, this meeting aims to find a good way to break through the predicament, discuss issues in industry, grain, finance and trade, education and so on, implement the eight-character policy of "adjustment, consolidation, enrichment and improvement", and correct unrealistic high indicators and boasting in previous work. This is the "Second Lushan Meeting" of great significance in the history of our Party.
Deng Xiaoping lived here for more than 20 days. These days have left a deep impression on the staff who attended the reception, and they will never forget it.
According to Yang's memory, on the morning of August 22nd 196 1, he and his colleagues from the Seventh Reception Service Team came to the villa of Lushan Sanatorium General Hospital early to wait.
At about 10: 30, two cars slowly drove into the yard, the doors opened and Deng Xiaoping came out, accompanied by his wife and confidential secretary Zhuo Lin and his daughter Deng Nan. This is his first visit to Lushan Mountain.
Lou Shao Ming, secretary of the Party Committee of Lushan Administration Bureau, went forward with the comrades of the seventh reception group and shook hands with Deng Xiaoping: "It's been a hard journey."
Deng Xiaoping said humbly, "Where there are difficulties, we will trouble you."
Because it was the first time to visit Lushan Mountain, he was a little curious. He looked around and said happily, "This place is cool and nice!" " "
When I learned that this house was originally a villa made in the United States, and now it is owned by the government, as a workers' sanatorium, I said humorously, "Well, we are here for a meeting, and we are also here to cultivate our morality."
Then, Deng Xiaoping asked about the weather on the mountain, knowing that the temperature difference between the mountain and Jiujiang was more than ten degrees Celsius, and said with emotion: "No wonder it is a good place for summer at home and abroad!"
Deng Xiaoping is very strict with himself and lives a simple life.
Yang said that in order to reduce the burden of the meeting, Zhuo Lin brought sheets, pillows, blankets and other bedding used when going up the mountain.
On one occasion, the meeting distributed two internally supplied Panda brand cigarettes to Deng Xiaoping, who asked Zhuo Lin to return them intact.
When entertaining guests, never use fruits, cigarettes, tea and the like provided by the meeting. One day during the meeting, Li Fuchun, Tao Zhu, Luo Ruiqing and Ke Qingshi came to Villa 286 to play cards with Deng Xiaoping after dinner. Zhuo Lin gave Yang the money and asked him to buy some cantaloupes in a small shop outside to entertain these old friends.
In a room in the villa, there is a small study with only a few square meters, and only one table and one chair can be placed. Deng Xiaoping is here to review and draft documents. Yang said: "After I get up every day, I see him sitting at his desk, writing and drawing with a carbon pencil. The paper is full of words."
In terms of life, Yang said: "Our eating habits are made according to the tastes of Sichuanese. As long as there are peppers, peppers, simple eggplant, beans, cabbage and carrots, they are all eaten with relish, even in the soup. Breakfast is usually mung bean porridge with a little pickles; Both noon and evening are in accordance with the meeting standards. "
During the whole meeting, Deng Xiaoping's life and diet were very simple, and he never asked for anything in this respect, even poached eggs. Once, Deng Xiaoping saw the staff throw away some yellow cabbage leaves and told them not to throw them away either. They soak them in boiling water, add a little salt and pepper monosodium glutamate and keep them as porridge for breakfast.
Yang said this sentence with infinite emotion: "Even the chef told me that he has become a chef who cooks vegetarian dishes and meals."
According to Yang, during the more than 20 days of Lushan Meeting, I got along well with the members of the Seventh Reception Group, leaving unforgettable memories, but also deep regrets. This may be discovered by the descendants who traveled to Lushan Mountain: during the Lushan meeting, Deng Xiaoping left almost no photos.
Yang said that even the receptionists who were close to them failed to leave a group photo as a souvenir. This is the eternal regret of the members of their seventh reception group!
This is because Deng Xiaoping will lead a delegation of the Communist Party of China to attend the Fourth Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea on September 9, so the schedule is rather tight, so Deng Xiaoping seldom goes out to travel and visit, and certainly does not take photos.
During the meeting, in order to adjust the atmosphere, the General Assembly organized several performances, which Deng Xiaoping rarely went to see, and the tickets issued were "divided up" and "enjoyed" by their staff. He just plays bridge and mahjong in his spare time to exercise his mind and enliven his mind.
On September 6th, the day after he finished his report, Deng Xiaoping went down to Beijing ahead of schedule. Before he left, he asked Zhuo Lin to ask Yang to settle the miscellaneous expenses such as meals and laundry during the meeting.
When Yang Jiyou told Zhuo Lin not to forget it, Zhuo Lin said seriously: "If you don't count it, you can't lose a penny!" !
Finally, after paying all the expenses, Zhuo Lin sincerely thanked the staff for their thoughtful care and shook hands with them.
At this meeting, Deng Xiaoping's approachable image, his diligence and simplicity, and his spirit of self-denial and dedication remained in the hearts of most participants.
As we all know, Deng Xiaoping likes playing mahjong, and Zhuo Lin also supports playing mahjong. At ordinary times, when there is an opportunity, Zhuo Lin will help him open a game of cards, find some card friends and go to his residence to play.
During the Lushan meeting, Luo Ruiqing, Tao Zhu and Li Fuchun Ke Qingshi were old comrades, and Luo Ruiqing often came to Deng Xiaoping for dinner.
On the evening of September 196 1, all the participants basically completed the main agenda of the conference, so they could squeeze out some time for entertainment and relaxation. Deng Xiaoping asked Zhuo Lin and Deng Nan to inform those old friends to come to No.267 to "touch some".
After dinner, Tao Zhu, Luo Ruiqing, Li Fuchun and others walked into the living room.
Deng Xiaoping spoke first and said humorously, "I don't want to be polite when playing mahjong. Take the prize first, serve it first, and you will be punished if you come late. Sit by and watch! " Everyone laughed at this!
When they play mahjong, they write down the winning or losing of each round. After several rounds of playing, the loser finally looks at the cards, and the people who look at the cards continue to play. Deng Xiaoping plays mahjong well, not to mention, he often wins most of the time, so he can't play. He is simply a "winning general".
Deng Xiaoping often said that playing mahjong can exercise people's thinking and make people's thinking agile and flexible. Modern medicine has found that when playing mahjong, there are more activities in the hands and brain. Adjusting physical and mental balance and exercising psychological quality while exercising the brain can really prevent Alzheimer's disease to some extent.
Deng Xiaoping also likes to play bridge, and his level is not low. Whether playing bridge or mahjong, his style is very good. He doesn't talk much at the poker table, he is absorbed in every game, and he is not angry or anxious whether he wins or loses. It is very active to say a humorous word occasionally.
If it's getting late, Zhuo Lin will ask the chef to prepare bowls of noodles for everyone. At this time, Deng Xiaoping carefully looked at the cards played on the table and told Zhuo Lin: "I don't want anything in my noodles, I want Chili." These words often make several card friends laugh, and the atmosphere is therefore extremely relaxed and lively.
Before the closing of this meeting, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China approved the draft provisional regulations on the work of colleges and universities directly under the Ministry of Education, namely Article 60 of higher education, instructions on current industrial issues, draft regulations on the work of state-owned industrial enterprises, namely Article 70 of industry, and important instructions on food issues at that time.
From June, 5438 to February, 1978, at the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, the second generation of central collective leadership with Deng Xiaoping at the core carried out reform and opening up and made a decision on socialist modernization. In this series of decisions, many viewpoints coincide with the speech at this Lushan meeting, which is in the same strain.
In this meeting, Deng Xiaoping's hard work and plain living, self-denial and devotion to duty are also admirable.
Hard work is a fine tradition of our party, which is very important for the modernization of the party and the country. Deng Xiaoping once said, "We should work hard and honestly for the four modernizations".
Deng Xiaoping has always maintained the habit of hard work and plain living, whether in the hard war years, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, during that period of economic difficulties, or even after the reform and opening up, when people's lives were getting better and better.
Perhaps when Yang lamented the simplicity of life, he did not think that this simple and simple habit had penetrated into the bone marrow and became an indispensable part of his long life.
1975, Deng Xiaoping emphasized at a meeting of senior cadres that we ordinary people should go to the following places to investigate and study, so as not to increase the burden on local cadres. In life, scrambled eggs with tomatoes are a good working meal.
The train working meal in Deng Xiaoping once left a deep impression on the train attendants of that year.
From 195 1 to 1994, Deng Xiaoping took 78 special trains and traveled 24 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions for 796 days. Generally speaking, Deng Xiaoping stayed on the special train for more than two years. It adds up to nearly 2000 working meals these days, so what is his working meal on the train? Why can you leave such a deep impression on the conductor?
Qi, the train conductor at that time, remembered clearly: the working meal was very ordinary, especially simple, and there were no special requirements. Breakfast, like most people in China, is soybean milk fritters.
Lunch is usually scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried vegetables, casserole and tofu. Sometimes, after eating leftovers, Deng Xiaoping also specifically told the staff not to throw them away, and then eat the next meal while it is hot or made into a pot-stewed dish.
Once the staff saw that he was really overworked and worried about his health, so they took the initiative to bring him some abalone. Deng Xiaoping firmly opposed it, saying that abalone was too expensive to be so extravagant, and chefs would not be allowed to cook it.
Qi Wenming also said a little-known thing. Once, the chef found that there was too much salt in the fried dough sticks. The chef is in a hurry now. what should he do ？ It would be a pity if it was too late to make dough again, and such a big piece of dough would be wasted.
In desperation, the chef thought of a way. He mixed a piece of non-salty noodles first, and then mixed fried dough sticks, so that the noodles would not be too salty. But the fried fritters are uneven in color and taste. The cook crustily skin of head and put the fried dough sticks on it, feeling uneasy.
However, Deng Xiaoping was not angry at all after eating, and said humorously, "Today we ate Yuanyang fried dough sticks." . After knowing this situation, he also said that the chef did the right thing, saying: "It is not easy for farmers to farm, so they must save food." This left a deep impression on the chef and staff.
Indeed, Deng Xiaoping's living habits are like this, not just a simple working meal, but also in daily life. Deng Xiaoping is a family of 12 people, with four generations living under one roof. He requires only four dishes and one soup for each meal, and the ingredients are just ordinary ingredients. There is no delicious food, and it is not delicious food.
As a country, Deng Xiaoping has never been special. He often says, "We must work hard. We can't ignore it at all. We must work hard to achieve our goals." .
"Looking ahead to the sage countries of the past, turning frugality into extravagance and failure". Deng Xiaoping linked remolding the spirit of hard struggle with the realization of the Party's cause. When talking about the goal of modernization, he stressed that it should be achieved through hard struggle.
In order to advocate and adhere to the Party's hard work style, Deng Xiaoping set an example for the whole Party with his exemplary actions.
In fact, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping and other proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation all have the fine virtues of hard work, simplicity and thrift. We should be thrifty in times of hardship, thrifty in times of peace, not extravagant or wasteful. They came from the war-torn era and were washed with dust, but they did not enjoy life and devoted themselves to the torrent of building the motherland.
They set an example, set an example first, and set a clear banner for our party and the people of the whole country with practical actions of frugal life. They are hard-working and plain-living, don't do anything special, self-denial and dedication to public service, leaving precious spiritual wealth for future generations, inspiring generations of China people to work hard, and finally leading the people to overcome difficulties and realize socialist development.
The thought and style of diligence and thrift is the consistent insistence of our party, the true nature of our party as a Marxist political party, and its fine tradition and style. As Deng Xiaoping emphasized, the education of hard struggle is a long-term task of ideological and political work, which will last for 60 or 70 years.
"The more a country develops, the more it should work hard to start a business", which is the unique forward-looking vision of great men. Later development gradually proved Deng Xiaoping's foresight. Time flies. On the majestic Lushan Mountain, the clouds are still diffuse, and the pearl-like villas in the mountains still stand in the depths of the shade, telling people about the changes in the past 100 years.
And those who wrote down the colorful brushstrokes of the Republic seem to be alive again here: the lights in the study in the villa seem to last all night; In that small study, it seems that there is a person who keeps writing something; In the warm reception room, it seems that old friends who like mahjong are still sitting together, and in the crackling sound of mahjong collision,
The "ever-victorious general" seems to have pulled back another game, and the hearty laughter seems to reverberate in the air. Time travel has reached 202 1.
Today, it has been 24 years since Chairman Deng left us, and our motherland is becoming more and more prosperous.
While remembering the great achievements of President Deng Xiaoping, we should inherit and carry forward the precious revolutionary spirit he left us, and continue to work hard to build a better tomorrow for our motherland.
