Shilichang Street to the Prime Minister: Text
An old woman with silver hair leaned against a locust tree on crutches and waited anxiously and patiently. A young couple, husband holding his little daughter, wife holding their six or seven-year-old son, squeezed off the sidewalk and looked around. A group of tearful red scarves, arm in arm with each other, stood on tiptoe and looked at each other. ...
Night began to fall. After several leading cars passed by, the Prime Minister's hearse came slowly. Black and yellow paddles hung around the hearse, decorated with white flowers, solemn and solemn. People feel sad, and their eyes move with the hearse. It seems that someone is silently directing. Old people, young people and children all stood up straight, took off their hats, quietly looked at the hearse and cried, without wiping the tears off their cheeks.
On this ten-mile long street, Premier Zhou sent away many international friends from five continents and four seas, and accompanied Chairman Mao to inspect the people many times. People often see Premier Zhou happily, and see his strong physique and kind face. Today, however, he lay quietly in the hearse, drifting away and saying goodbye to us!
The hearse moves slowly, affecting the hearts of thousands of people. Many people chased the hearse on the sidewalk. How people wish the car could stop and time could stop! But the hearse faded away and finally disappeared into the boundless night. People still stood quietly with their backs to the direction of the hearse, as if waiting for Premier Zhou to come back.
Farewell process
On June 65438+1October 10 and June 1 1, farewell ceremonies were held in the mortuary of Beijing Hospital. In Dongdan Dahua Road, Taiji Factory Headline, Dongjiaomin Lane, and the west gate of Beijing Hospital, people surrounded the three-story building outside Beijing Hospital.
At that time, the Gang of Four was still on the stage, which limited the number of people attending the activities to mourn Premier Zhou. However, they underestimated the feelings of the masses for Premier Zhou, and people continued to mourn day and night.
65438+1October 1 1, Beijing is freezing, dripping into ice, and people's mood is even colder than the weather. At five o'clock in the afternoon, Premier Zhou's body began to be transferred from the hospital to the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery for cremation. The hearse walked slowly west from the south gate of Wangfujing. Chang 'an Avenue from east to west to Babaoshan is crowded with people. Men, women and children stood for a long time in the cold northwest wind and greeted them with tears.
If you start from the south exit of Wangfujing and go to Babaoshan along the way, if you only calculate according to the straight-line distance of the current subway, it will be 16.6 km, which means 33.2 miles. Chang 'an Avenue, which has been wandering in our minds, is 6.5 kilometers from Jianguomen to Fuxingmen.
Therefore, we should not just "send the Prime Minister a 10-mile long street" but "send the Prime Minister a 30-mile long street". However, the cold wind blows hard, and the distance is more than 30 miles. People from all over the motherland crowded Chang 'an Avenue all the way to both sides of Babaoshan. If a person's shoulder width is 50cm, there are more than 200,000 people in the front and back rows of this street. The cold wind blew hard, and men, women and children burst into tears.
When the motorcade arrived at the gate of Babaoshan Cemetery, many people had asked to see the Prime Minister again. It was also suggested that Premier Zhou's body should not be cremated, so he began to cry again. After repeated work, the crowd slowly calmed down until midnight 12.
