The news of Chairman Mao's death was broadcast by China People's Broadcasting Station to China and the whole world. In just 65,438+05 minutes, the news of "Mao Zedong's death" spread all over the world.
Someone once described it with an exaggerated and "realistic" description: "The earth seems to have stopped turning." Especially in Chinese mainland, this is more obvious.
Zhang, who is far away from the Pacific Ocean, also received the news of Chairman Mao's death from china national radio in a short time. As Chairman Mao's biggest "opponent", Zhang Dui is ruthless. How did he evaluate the death of Chairman Mao?
Zhang, born in 1897, participated in the activities organized by China in the early days of 1920. Later, in 1938, Zhang, then vice chairman of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia border region, chose to rebel and took refuge in the Kuomintang side, so he was expelled from the party.
On the eve of the founding of New China, Zhang came to Taiwan Province, but his life was not satisfactory. He and his family left Taipei and moved to Hong Kong.
When the mainland was in turmoil, Zhang met with diplomats from the US Consulate General in Hong Kong.
From 65438 to 0968, the Zhang family moved to Toronto.
For Chairman Mao, Zhang's mood is extremely complicated; The greater the achievements made by Chairman Mao, the more "uncomfortable" Zhang Guo Tao became; Few people know Chairman Mao better than Zhang; The more successful Chairman Mao is, the more he proves how big and true Zhang's mistakes are.
Chairman Mao and Zhang knew each other as early as the May 4th Movement (19 19) (even earlier), and they also attended the first national congress in China.
In their later years, they served as important leaders of the Soviet area and the Red Army for a long time. Compared with Chairman Mao, Zhang's revolutionary career was very smooth and did not encounter too many setbacks.
On the Long March from 1934, a grassland storm was staged, with Chairman Mao and Zhang as the protagonists. Zhang regards Chairman Mao as a "life-and-death" struggle object, while Chairman Mao regards Zhang as a "comrade who can win over".
Finally, Zhang's plot failed and Chairman Mao won. Unable to bear this blow, Zhang chose to resist the revolution, which was really embarrassing and brought trouble to many other comrades who trusted him and followed him.
After coming to Hong Kong, American officials made a special trip to interview Zhang, trying to dig up some "black materials" of Chairman Mao. After the washing of time, Zhang finally saw and understood what he could not see or understand in the past.
Zhang commented on Chairman Mao: "Mao Zedong is a peasant socialist with extraordinary personality charm and political talent. He has an extraordinary desire for "equality". Once things show bad signs, he will take certain measures to contain them.
Mao Zedong is a pragmatic person. In order to obtain the urgently needed materials for China's development, he can maintain friendly trade relations with capitalist countries such as West Germany and Japan. You don't have to worry about the expansion of Red China. "
After Zhang defected, he was asked questions about Chairman Mao more than once.
Zhang lowered his head as if remembering and thinking. After a while, he spoke and said simply, "Our time has passed."
Who will remember Zhang after Chairman Mao's death?
This is far from the scene when Chairman Mao died. In Zhang's later years, I don't know who I want to know is the real Marxist "China hand".
