(Mao is at the party)
Mao kept a low profile on several birthdays.
In history, Mao had several birthday opportunities, but Mao either refused to organize his birthday or chose to spend it in a low-key and simple way.
Once on Mao's 50th birthday, as the saying goes, "You know your destiny at 50". However, the year of Mao's 50th birthday is 1943. At that time, our army launched a vigorous "mass production" campaign, which made the materials in the base areas fully supplied. But even so, everyone thinks that celebrating the 50th birthday is a tradition in China, no matter how complicated or simple it is, it should not be forgotten, so Mao, then Vice Minister of Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China, wrote to explain this problem. However, Mao wrote back: "Don't celebrate your birthday, now is not the time. Even if it is passed, it will have an impact on the outside. "

Therefore, Mao's 50th birthday left. It's already 1953 by Mao's 60th birthday. At that time, the new China had been established, and the overall living and working conditions had improved a lot. After learning about Mao's birthday, people around Mao congratulated Mao, and Mao also expressed his gratitude for the congratulations in these congratulatory messages. But when Mao saw that political parties, factions and local representatives from all over the world sent him "Happy Birthday" congratulatory messages, Mao suppressed all the congratulatory messages and said, "No one is allowed."

However, on Mao's 60th birthday, he made a small celebration, that is, he called his guards and chefs and asked them to prepare a bottle of wine, four dishes and a soup for a birthday party. But after the birthday party, the workers who burn boilers should be invited to have dinner with the secretary comrades who work beside them. In this way, Mao's 60th birthday was spent in a low-key manner in the laughter of the little comrades around him.
However, there is another habit of Mao's birthday, that is, others are not allowed to bless. At the age of 59, when he heard the person next to him say "Long life is boundless", he immediately waved and said to his secretary Wang Hebin, "Without long life, people can't live!"
Why did Mao celebrate his seventy-first birthday? Who did you invite?
Since Mao's birthday is usually so frugal and low-key, why do you have a birthday party for 7 1?
It turned out that in Mao's birthday year of 7 1, New China ushered in a great event celebrated by the whole country: namely, June 65438+10/October 65438+June 65438 1964, a test explosion in China was successful, which marked that China became the fifth country with nuclear weapons in the world. Since then, the US-Soviet nuclear monopoly on China has been broken. At the same time, the Sino-Soviet debate has also achieved great success in previous years, and the economic situation in China has also tended to improve, which is good news again and again. Mao believes that we should take advantage of this opportunity of national celebration to organize a birthday for ourselves.

However, the birthday party held on Mao's seventy-first birthday was entirely his own money. Mao usually loves writing and often contributes to newspapers and periodicals, and his life is very frugal. On his birthday, Mao generously took out the usual accumulated manuscript fee and invited everyone to have a good meal.
So, what exactly is the food on the table at Mao 7 1 birthday party? According to people who attended the banquet later, Mao arranged three tables of banquets. But the dishes at the banquet are the most common home-cooked dishes, such as cucumber, bitter gourd, carrot and pepper that Mao likes to eat. The only meat dish is a small dish of salted shrimp, which is unprecedented in Mao's usual diet.

Everything is ready, so who should we invite? On Mao's banquet list, there is General Luo Ruiqing, who is a minister in charge of Mao's safety. Luo Ruiqing was invited because in 1964, there was a vigorous "big training" movement in China, and Luo Ruiqing also took the job. Under the guidance of him and a group of comrades, 1964 was six times more capable of dropping bombs with an average height of more than 40 meters than 1963, which was a very outstanding achievement at that time, so Mao invited Luo Ruiqing.
In addition, the invited guests included Ceng Zhi and others, all of whom made important contributions to our Party at that time. In addition, Mao specially invited Qian Xuesen, who is also our founding father with two bombs and one satellite. 1964, China made a major breakthrough in its development, and naturally became a great scientist in the United States. To this end, Mao specially invited Qian Xuesen.

However, in addition to these famous people, Mao also invited several ordinary people at that time, which was unique in many birthday parties. So, who are these people?
Ordinary people invited by Mao are Xing Yanzi and Wang Jinxi. Let's start with Tzu Chi: Xing Yanzi was only 23 years old. Xing Yanzi, a native of Tianjin, had a good family condition at that time, so he finished junior high school. However, after graduating from junior high school, she did not return to Tianjin, where the economic environment was relatively good at that time, but took root in the countryside and helped the villagers to engage in production, production brigades and women. In rural areas at that time, Xing Yanzi not only set up "Swallow Commando" to compete in productive labor, but also popularized kindergartens in the village and strengthened women's knowledge education. Because of her outstanding deeds, Mao * * * summoned her five times and * * * summoned her 13 times, which also confirmed Mao's sentence: women hold up half the sky.

Dong Jiageng, another rural educated youth, had a similar experience with Xing Yanzi. Dong Jiageng, a native of Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, studied in Longgang Middle School in Yancheng County. During his study, Dong Jiageng got a high score of 96 points in every subject and was regarded as a "child prodigy" by his teachers and classmates. However, after the college entrance examination, Dong Jiageng, who achieved excellent results, gave up the opportunity, but returned to the countryside to farm, and used his knowledge to help the countryside solve the problem of farming together. In his diary, he wrote that "living in a hut, seeing the world and stepping on mud" later became a famous saying spread all over the country.
He is the production director of Dazhai commune. At that time, the position of production director was very small in the countryside, but he knew that he was burdened with rural expectations. Therefore, he led the villagers to work together to reclaim land and fight against natural disasters in Qi Xin, which made the "Dazhai Spirit" circulating in Dazhai Commune at that time synonymous with the country's love of labor and fear of hardship.

Another ordinary person, Wang Jinxi, an oil worker, is quite unusual for us today. Wang Jinxi is most famous for his "Daqing Spirit". 1960 the northeast Songliao petroleum congress started, and he resolutely joined the team of the congress, proposing that "the north wind is an electric fan, and the heavy snow is fried noodles!" Slogan. In the oil war, an oil well blew out. In the absence of a blender, Wang Jinxi was the first to jump into the cement slurry field and stir the mud with his body, causing a blowout. This made Wang Jinxi the title of "Iron Man" in Daqing, which is what we later became familiar with as "Daqing Spirit".
Mao's birthday can invite some ordinary educated youth and laborers, which may be unique in birthday parties in various countries. This can also reflect that Mao is always with his beloved people and with the broad masses of workers and peasants.
On Mao's birthday, why did you say "you can't hold your tail too high"?
At Mao's birthday party, there were not only celebrities such as Luo Ruiqing and Qian Xuesen, but also ordinary people such as Xing Yanzi and Wang Jinxi. Under the warm hospitality, everyone sat at three tables together, eating and drinking, and the whole party was full of joy and harmony.
But also in the process of eating, while chatting with Xing Yanzi, Wang Jinxi and other ordinary people. Meanwhile, how old is Mao this year? Dong Jiageng replied that he was 24 years old. Hearing this, Mao quickly took the initiative to help the young man and said, "You are still young and strong, so you should eat more." When Dong Jiageng saw that Mao could help himself, an ordinary intellectual youth who went to the countryside, he was deeply moved.

Similarly, Mao has not forgotten to take care of his old comrades, who belong to Dazhai commune. Mao asked eagerly, "How old are you this year? Have you become a food expert? " Answer: "I am 50 years old this year." Mao nodded and said, "I am not young, but I knew my fate at the age of fifty."
However, when the party was going on, Mao suddenly became serious and said to everyone:
"Know your destiny at fifty, don't be cocky, and don't be cocky all your life. Some people have their tails up too high, so they should learn to be human. Don't be cocky with a little achievement, and don't be cocky with two or three achievements. "
(Mao will receive)
Why did Mao suddenly say such a thing at the birthday party? In fact, Mao's remarks did not criticize any comrades on the field, but were heartfelt feelings and warnings. Mao himself said that modesty makes people progress and pride makes people fall behind. If you make some achievements, you will get carried away. This is definitely unacceptable in your work, and it is even more unacceptable if you are separated from the masses because you are distracted.
To this end, Mao also told everyone the meaning of "three similarities" at the birthday party. What exactly is "three similarities"? Mao explained that it is to eat, live and work with workers and peasants in life and work, and the most important thing is to be firmly together. The reason why Mao invited four ordinary people working in the front line at this birthday party is to set an example with his own practical actions and tell everyone the true meaning of the three associations.
(Mao is with the workers)
After listening to Mao's speech and understanding Mao's painstaking efforts, people attending the birthday party said that they must practice the principle of "three simultaneities" and stay with the masses. At the same time, they sincerely celebrate Mao's "Happy Birthday". And Mao's birthday of 7 1 came to a successful conclusion.
The above is related to 23 years, and it is about the sharing of history. After reading "23 years old", I hope this can help everyone!
