Mao Zedong and Sichuan (19)

Chairman Mao's special ranks on Chengdu -Chongqing line

Hu Jingxiang

In March 1958, when I learned that the "Chengdu Conference" was officially held, I rushed back to Chengdu from Guangzhou. Later, I knew that the issues related to our Railway Bureau were to arrange Chairman Mao to go to Chongqing. Driving safety is the main issue we consider. At the same time, when formulating a special running operation plan, it is necessary to consider the specific situation and living habits of Chairman Mao, such as the departure time should not be too early, because Chairman Mao’s daily life is late and late. Safety.

On March 28, 1958, Mao Zedong, chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, President of the Communist Party of China, and chairman of the Central Military Commission, attended the Chongqing inspection after attending the Chengdu Conference of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee. This is the second time and the last time the great man in the century after the 1945 negotiations in Chongqing in 1945.

The night before departure, the Minister of the Railways Teng Daiyuan (he participated in the "Chengdu Conference") visited the Chengdu Railway Bureau to hear our report on the exclusive arrangement, and made instructions on driving safety. Temporary problems related to driving.

On the morning of March 27, 1958, I arrived in Chengdu Passenger Station in advance, followed by the staff related to the special ranks and the responsible comrades of various provinces and cities to reach the station one after another. Finally, Chairman Mao arrived. At 11:55 am, the special ranks were officially deployed by Chengdu guest station.

After the special line was opened, I went to Chairman Mao's machine secretary Ye Zilong. I said, "Comrade Zilong, I haven't talked to Chairman Mao in Yan'an, can you take me to see the chairman?" Ye Zilong said, "No problem, I will take you after a while." But leave After Chengdu Station, he was busy dealing with some transactions, and he might forget the matter. The special ranks soon arrived at Ziyang Station. Due to the vehicle relationship, it was temporarily parked temporarily. Taking this opportunity, I got out of the car in front of Chairman Mao's carriage. At this time, only the chairman got out of the car, and he shook hands with me. The first sentence was: "You take me to turn around nearby." Then Li Jingquan, the first secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, came from the compartment of the central part of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee. Before the station, two or three public security comrades came, so they accompanied the chairman to go to the station. At this time, when the two red scarf girls came to the station, they looked up and said in surprise: "It's Chairman Mao!"

On March 28, 1958, Chairman Mao Zedong was warmly welcomed by employees when he visited the construction machine tool factory in Chongqing

Our party accompanied Chairman Mao to the direction of the capital city.

Chairman Mao saw a vegetable in the roadside vegetable garden that is both like onions and leek. He asked me, "What kind of dish is this?"

I said, "This is a cricket, and Hunan also has this kind of dish."

Chairman Mao didn't know eucalyptus, and he asked, "What kind of tree is this?"

I said, "It's eucalyptus, grow faster." The chairman said, "There should be more."

When returning to the station and passing the railway employee dormitory, the chairman went to a employee's house for about 10 minutes, asked some family living conditions, and then came out of the family's back door and returned to the platform to wait for driving.

At this time, only the chairman, Li Jingquan, and the three of me. The chairman asked me, "What are you official?"

I haven't answered yet, Li Jingquan introduced: "He is the director of the Chengdu Railway Bureau."

The chairman asked my name and asked, "Have you ever been in Yan'an?"

I said, "I have lived in Yan'an for 6 years, and I have lived in the back gap of Zaoyuan for more than 3 years."

In Yan'an, the chairman lived in the front yard of Zaoyuan, so the chairman said, "Why don't I know you?"

I said, "There was no chance to contact the chairman at that time."

The chairman also asked, "How long is the Chengdu -Chongqing Railway?" I said, "505 kilometers."

The chairman also asked: "How many employees are there in the overall situation?"

I said: "There are less than 30,000 formal employees."

After the special ranks reached the Neijiang Station, Li Jingquan and me and a few public security comrades accompanied the chairman to the right side of the downward direction of Neijiang Station to a farmhouse. However, the trails are full of paddy fields, and the road is not easy to go. The chairman said, "Go back." So the group quickly returned to the Neijiang platform.

When waiting for driving, I introduced to the chairman by the way: "Neijiang is a famous city of sugar, and the salt production of Zigong City in the southwest is also famous. There is still natural gas." The chairman said to Li Jingquan: "I haven't seen natural gas. I haven't seen it. Let me see if it works? "At this point, Li Jingquan was very nervous, and he couldn't answer for a while. Because when I first arrived in Neijiang, I asked Li Jingquan to go to Zigong? He didn't know the arrangement of the railway beforehand, and had no thoughts, so he answered: "Don't go!" In this way, I canceled the plan to go to Zigong. Now the chairman wants to see natural gas. When you are about to drive, you can't change the driving plan. I have to suggest: "There is a charcoal black factory in front of Longchang County, and there are natural gas.

The chairman said, "That's okay." This solved the problem.

When the special ranks are about to start and leave the Neijiang Station, a large number of people gathered outside the station are allowed to embrace the platform. After seeing Chairman Mao, the masses are so happy that they shouted again and again: "Long live Chairman Mao!" At that time, the scene at that time very touching.

After reaching Longchang Station, the webmaster came immediately: "A person in charge in Longchang County can't find it, and they are not at home." At this time, Chairman Mao and Li Jingquan had already reached the platform. He was anxious to tell Li Jingquan. The responsible comrades of some provinces and cities are at the door of the station, about 50 meters away from the chairman's location at the platform, looking at each other and waiting for the car. Coincidentally, at this time, a small car was suddenly driven from Neijiang, and a comrade of a provincial public security department came out of the car (he came by the car for some reason at Neijiang Station). The car was small and ugly. It was dilapidated, but he had to get together to let the car stop next to the chairman. On March 27, 1958, Chairman Mao Zedong went to the small car of the Longchang Qi Mine -Miner Camfrection (Pengzhou Leisure Photos in Mao Zedong's Chairman to inspect the Longchang Qi Mine Memorial Hall, and the Sichuan Provincial Local House Work Office)

What about the responsible comrades of the provincial and cities? I asked the webmaster: "Can you find a truck?"

Long said: "There is a car in the charcoal black factory just now to stop coal. Can it work?"

I said, "You can ask the driver to drive the car to them."

At first glance, everyone was transported by coal, and was dirty and no seat. He was hesitant. Chairman Mao waved to them and called out: "Hurry up!" At this point, everyone had to hold up.

At that time, I stood beside the car, and Li Jingquan said to me, "Are you bringing the way!"

I said, "There are still things in the station, I can't go." So he called a public security comrade to go with the car. The chairman and Li Jingquan sat in the back row of the car. Comrade the public security sat next to the driver and set off. The truck followed behind the car.

The sky is not beautiful. Soon after driving the car, it was raining suddenly. I thought it was bad. Although the car the car was not good, it was still possible to avoid the rain. What about the truck? Soon, they returned to Longchang Station safely. As soon as I asked, I realized that their cars were not far away, and they were encountering leaders in Longchang County. They heard the chairman's special list of the news of Longchang, and immediately drove two jeep cars to the station. Before the rain, they met the chairman's car. It was rainy.

On March 27, 1958, Chairman Mao Zedong inspected the Longchang Qi Mine -Miner Charcoal Black Factory (President of Mao Zedong's Chairman of Mao Zedong inspected the Longchang Qi Mine Memorial Museum, and the Local House Work Office of Sichuan Province)

Before the special train was driving, the masses embraced the platform, and a moving scene of shouting "Long live Chairman Mao" appeared. The masses scrambled to shook hands with Chairman Mao.

In order to be safe, I stood in front of the carriage and blocked the masses. The chairman reached out from behind me to shake hands with you until the special ranks gradually accelerated. I asked the chairman to enter the carriage and leave the Longchang Station.

On March 27, 1958, Chairman Mao Zedong inspected the monument of the monument of the Longchangqi Mine Carbon Black Workshop in Shengli Town, Longchang County (Fang Zhi Sichuan Picture)
