"Guan Bao" refers to the politicians Guan Zhong and Bao in the Spring and Autumn Period of China in the 7th century BC. They are good friends. Guan Zhong is poor and Bao Fu is rich, but they know each other and trust each other. Guan Zhong and Bao were business partners in their early years. Guan Zhong paid little capital, but he got a lot of money when he paid dividends. Bao Shu Ya doesn't care. Knowing that Guan Zhong's family had a heavy burden, he asked Guan Zhong, "Is this money enough?" On several occasions, Guan Zhong helped package ideas, but he all screwed up. Bao was not angry, but comforted Guan Zhong and said, "It's not your bad idea, but the bad timing. Never mind. " Guan Zhong was an official for three times, but he was dismissed every time. Bao thinks that Guan Zhong is not without talent, but has not met anyone who appreciates him. Guan Zhong joined the army to fight, got cold feet and ran away. Bao Shuya didn't laugh at Guan Zhong's fear of death. He knew that Guan Zhong was worried about his elderly mother at home.
Later, Guan Zhong and Bao both went into politics. At that time, the state of Qi was in chaos, and the governors fled to other countries to avoid disasters and waited for opportunities. Guan Zhong assisted the prince of Lu, while Bao assisted another prince of Qi in Ju. Soon, Qi rioted, the king was killed and the country lost its monarch. When he heard the news, they hurried to the state of Qi, trying to seize the throne. The two teams happened to meet on the road. In order to make Xiao Bai king, Guan Zhong shot an arrow at him, but the arrow only hit the hook on Xiao Bai's belt and didn't hurt Xiao Bai. Later, Xiao Bai became king, known as "Qi Huangong" in history.
As soon as Qi Huangong became king, he told Lu to kill the prince and shut Guan Zhong up. Qi Huangong wants Bao to be prime minister and help him run the country. Bao thinks he is incapable of being a prime minister. He strongly recommended Guan Zhong, who was imprisoned in Lu. Bao said: "I am not as good at governing the country as Guan Zhong. Guan Zhong is kind, loyal and upright, able to formulate a standardized national system and be good at commanding the army. I don't have this, so if your majesty wants to govern the country well, he can only ask Guan Zhong to be the prime minister. " Qi Huangong didn't agree. He said, "Guan Zhong shot me with an arrow and almost killed me. If I don't kill him, how can I make him prime minister? " Bao immediately said, "I heard that a wise monarch can't hold grudges. What's more, Guan Zhong was working for the prince at that time. A man can serve his master faithfully, and he will certainly serve the king faithfully. If your majesty wants to dominate the world, he can't succeed without Guan Zhong. You must appoint him. " Finally, under Bao's persuasion, he returned to Qi with Guan Zhong.
Guan Zhong returned to Qi as prime minister, but Bao was willing to be Guan Zhong's assistant. With the joint efforts of Guan Zhong and Bao, Qi became the most powerful country among the vassal states and the overlord among them.
After Bao died, Guan Zhong wept bitterly at the grave. Thinking of Bao's understanding and support, he sighed: "At the beginning, the prince I assisted failed to rehabilitate, and other ministers swore allegiance to the death, but I was willing to go to prison. Bao Shuya didn't laugh at my dishonesty. He knows I don't care about my reputation for planning big things. It was my parents who gave birth to me, but it was Bao Shu Ya who really understood me! "
The deep friendship between Guan Zhong and Bao has become a much-told story handed down from generation to generation in China. In China, people often use the word "close friend" to describe the intimate and trusting relationship between them and their good friends.
The story of high mountains and flowing water
During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man named Yu Boya in the State of Chu, who was proficient in temperament and superb in piano skills. But he always feels that he can't express his feelings about all kinds of things in a superb way. After the teacher knew it, he took him to Penglai Island in the East China Sea by boat to enjoy the natural scenery and listen to the sound of the sea. Boya only sees rough waves and splashing waves. Seabirds are roaring and singing; As if the harmonious and beautiful music of nature echoed in his ears. He can't help playing the piano, and his voice turns at will, melting the beauty of nature into the sound of the piano, but no one can understand his music. He feels very lonely and miserable.
One night, Boya traveled by boat. Facing the cool breeze and bright moon, he was full of thoughts and played the piano with melodious sound. Suddenly, he felt someone listening to his piano. When Boya saw a woodcutter standing on the shore, he invited him aboard. Boya played a song praising the mountains. The woodcutter said, "majestic and solemn, like the towering Mount Tai!" " When he played the surging waves, the woodcutter said, "It's mighty, as if he saw rolling water and boundless sea!" " Boya said excitedly: confidant. This woodcutter is Zhong Ziqi. Later, he died early. When Yu Boya learned this, he gave birth to the last piece of music in front of Zhong Ziqi's grave, then broke his string and stopped playing drums.
The story of Boyazi period has been spread through the ages, and the beautiful music of high mountains and flowing water still lingers in people's hearts and ears, but the stories of hard-to-find bosom friends and hard-to-find bosom friends have been staged from generation to generation.
There are few bosom friends like Boya and Zhong Ziqi in the world. Meng Haoran once sighed: "I will pick up my pipa and play it, but, alas, who here will understand?" ; Yue Fei also said in a sleepless night: "If you want to give your heart to Yao Qin, there are very few bosom friends. Who listens to the broken string? " Su Shi compared himself to Gu Hong, and wrote this sentence: "I refuse to give birth to all the cold branches, and I am lonely in the cold of Shazhou". Jia Dao, on the other hand, said, "Two words win in three years, and tears flow when singing. If you don't appreciate your confidant, you will return to Laoqiu. " .
And how rare is the generosity and pride that I let "a scholar die as a confidant, and a woman is self-respecting"? A bosom friend is hard to find, and a friend is hard to find. Whether it is a beauty or a blue face, "it is enough to know one thing in life!" It has become people's eternal wish.
Marx was born in a lawyer's home in Rheinland, Prussia, on May 5, 200818. Young Marx had a strong desire to transform society and put it into action, so he was persecuted by the reactionary government and went into exile for a long time. 1844, Marx met Engels in Paris, and their common beliefs made them value each other more than themselves. Marx lived in exile for a long time, often relying on pawns, and sometimes even had no money to buy stamps, but he still stubbornly carried out his research work and revolutionary activities. In order to maintain Marx's life, Engels would rather run a business that he hated very much, and also send the money he earned to Marx continuously. He not only helped Marx in his life, but also cared for each other, helped each other and cooperated closely in his career. When they lived in London, Engels always went to Marx's house every afternoon to discuss various issues for hours on end. After separation, they corresponded almost every day, exchanging views on political events and the results of research work. Their concern is also manifested in their efforts to help each other and their pride in each other's achievements in their careers. When Marx promised to write a newsletter for an English newspaper, Engels translated it for him and even wrote it for him when necessary. At that time, he was not proficient in English. When Engels wrote, Marx often put down his work and wrote down some parts of it. Marx and Engels have cooperated for 40 years, established great friendship and jointly created great Marxism. As Lenin said, "There are all kinds of very touching friendship stories in ancient legends. Later, the European proletariat can say that its science was created by two scholars and comrades. Their relationship exceeds all the most touching legends of ancient people about human friendship. "
An episode in the great friendship between Engels and Marx
10 7, Engels' wife Mary Baines died suddenly of a heart attack. Engels wrote to Marx with great sadness. The letter said, "I can't tell you how I feel now. The poor girl loves me wholeheartedly. " The next day, 65438+ 10 8, Marx wrote back to Engels in Manchester from London. This letter only expresses mild sympathy for Mary's bad news, but it tells a lot of his own predicament at an inappropriate time: the butcher and the baker are about to stop giving him credit, the rent and the children's tuition make him breathless, and the children have no shoes and clothes in the street. "In short, the devil has come to you ..." The plight of life tormented Marx, making him forget and ignore his unfortunate concern for his friends. The grief-stricken Engels couldn't help getting a little angry when he received this letter. Once upon a time, two close friends often wrote to each other every other day or two. This time, it was on the fifth day, that is, 65438+ 10/3, that Engels wrote back to Marx. In his letter, he said frankly: "Naturally, I understand that my own misfortune and your indifference to it prevented me from writing back to you earlier. All my friends, including strangers, expressed sympathy and friendship to me at this great sad moment, which exceeded my expectation. You think this moment is the best time to show your calm thinking style. Then suit yourself! "
Now there are twists and turns, and friendship is being tested. At this time, Marx did not defend himself, but made a serious self-criticism. 10 days later, when both sides calmed down, Marx wrote to Engels and said, "From my point of view, it was a big mistake to write that letter to you, and I regretted it as soon as the letter was sent. But this is by no means ruthless. My wife and children can testify that when I received your letter (which arrived in the morning), I was shocked, as if my closest person had passed away. When I wrote to you at night, I was in a state of complete despair. At my home, I stayed with the appraiser sent by the landlord and received an iou from the butcher. There is no coal and food at home, and Yan Ni Jr. is ill in bed ... "After receiving this letter, Engels immediately understood Marx. On June 26th, 65438 10, he wrote to Marx: "I thank you for your frankness. You also know what impression your last letter left on me. ..... When I received your letter, she was not buried. I should tell you that this letter has been hovering in my mind for 1 week, and I can't forget it. But it doesn't matter. Your latest letter has erased the impression left by my last letter. I'm glad I didn't lose my oldest and best friend at the same time. " I also sent a promissory note of 100 to help Marx tide over the difficulties.
In China, people all know the story of "Zhu Mao is inseparable from his family". 1928 In April, the autumn harvest uprising troops led by Mao Zedong and the Nanchang uprising troops led by Zhu De joined forces in Jinggangshan. From then on, Zhu De and Mao Zedong fought side by side and never separated. Thus, there is the story of "Zhu Mao never leaves home". However, in the history of the * * * Revolution in China, there are not only stories about Zhu Mao's separation from his family, but also stories about Mao Zedong, the great leader of China people, and Zhou Enlai, the beloved prime minister of China people. I call it "Enze friendship lasts forever".
So, why do you say "Enze friendship lasts forever"? As we all know, "Zhu Mao" is the abbreviation of Zhu De and Mao Zedong, both of whom take their surnames. "Enze" is the abbreviation of Zhou Enlai and Mao Zedong, which is formed by combining the first words in their names. Moreover, "En" itself is a word, which is a combined compound word, because the meanings of "En" and "Ze" are similar, and one of them is even the same. Therefore, the word itself not only shows that the two of them have many similarities or similarities, but also shows that they are inseparable, and they are closely combined, which shows that they are both great men who have made great contributions to the people of China. So I use "Enze" to refer to them, and "Enze friendship lasts forever" to describe their deep friendship of working together for a long time. I think it will be recognized by people!
In fact, the long-term cooperation and profound friendship between Zhou Enlai and Mao Zedong are endless. When Zhou Enlai was still in the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China headquarters, he found and deeply felt that Mao Zedong was a great man from Chen Yi's report. Zhou Enlai came to the Central Soviet Area alone in the autumn and winter of 193 1 year. Since then, Zhou Enlai and Mao Zedong have not only understood each other, but also respected and admired each other, shared weal and woe and cooperated with each other. During the 25,000-mile Li Long Long March, the Zunyi Meeting was held at the urging of Zhou Enlai, which saved the Party, the Red Army, the Long March and the revolution. Under their joint efforts and leadership, the Red Army overcame many difficulties and obstacles, and finally reached northern Shaanxi successfully, completing the great feat of the 25,000-mile long March. After the Xi Incident, Zhou Enlai was entrusted by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Mao Zedong to go to Xi, which contributed to the peaceful settlement of the Xi Incident and the beginning of the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. During the War of Liberation, they trudged together in the ravines of northern Shaanxi, then crossed the Yellow River together, came to Xibaipo together, led three major battles together, went to Beijing to take exams together, boarded the Tiananmen Gate to participate in founding ceremony together, led the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, defended the country, led the movement against the three evils in five evils together, led the Great Leap Forward movement together, spent three difficult years together and led the Cultural Revolution together. The widespread use of ping-pong diplomacy has opened China's diplomatic door, brought our People's Republic of China (PRC) into the United Nations, created a new situation in China's diplomatic and international environment, overthrew Lin Biao's counter-revolutionary clique, foiled the plot of the Gang of Four to usurp the party and seize power, and put forward the great ideal and long-term goal of the four modernizations. For more than 40 years, they have never left, cooperated closely, helped each other in the same boat, cared for each other and took care of each other. They have made indelible contributions to the people of China and the world, and set an example of long-term cooperation and sharing weal and woe for the people of China and the world. The word "Enze friendship lasts forever" expresses all of the above very aptly. So I use "Enze" to refer to them, and "Enze friendship lasts forever" to compare and praise their long-term cooperation and profound friendship, right? !
Although we have learned a lot about the long-term cooperation and profound friendship between Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, we often just stay on the surface. We often don't know much about the deeper understanding. To this end, let's listen to the explanation of authoritative sources!
In a book called "Endless Mao Zedong-An Interview with 100 Famous Scholars", there is an interview with Jin Chongji. The interview time is 199265438+February19, and the interview topic is "Visiting Jin Chongji". In this interview, Jin Chongji focused on the long-term cooperation and profound friendship between Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai. He said, "Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai are inseparable. It's interesting to say. In the modern history of China, there are often examples where two people say the same thing. ..... Two people always give priority to one, and the other plays an irreplaceable role, which is often complementary and interdependent. In the first generation of China's leading collective, although there is no such figure as Mao Zhou, the close relationship between them is obvious to all. Of course, Mao Zedong plays a leading role in their relationship. ..... Without Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai would not be today's Zhou Enlai. Of course, Zhou Enlai has been outstanding since his youth, but it is because of Mao Zedong's leadership that he can really give full play to his talents in the right direction. This is a fact. As a central leading comrade said, Mao Zedong cannot live without Zhou Enlai. This is also a fact. The relationship between them really complements each other. "
Then, Jin Chongji added: "Nixon once said: Mao Zedong is the decision maker and Zhou Enlai is responsible for implementation. On the whole, Nixon's words are reasonable. ..... So on the whole, Mao Zedong really grasps the general direction more, and Zhou Enlai is more responsible for implementation and implementation. " Jin Chongji added: "Mao Zedong is the decision maker and Zhou Enlai is the executor, which is relative. Generally speaking, it can be said, but it can't be said that it is dead. " Then he said: "In a sense, Zhou Enlai also consciously played the role of executor. ..... Zhou Enlai is willing to put himself in a "supporting role" from the overall interests of the country and the revolutionary cause. However, he admires Mao Zedong very much and believes that Mao Zedong is smarter than himself in considering these bigger issues. "
In a word, the long-term cooperation and profound friendship between Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai is indeed a wonderful story in the history of China and the most commendable story in the history of China people's revolution. Let's be proud of such an unusual story! Let's be proud of "Enze friendship lasts forever"
