On the 1st, he served as Dean of the School of Liberal Arts, Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, and later served as Secretary General of the General Political Department of the National Revolutionary Army and Guo Moruo, deputy director of the General Political Department, visiting the residence of Lin Boqu, the then Executive Central Committee Member of the KMT Central Committee and Chairman of the National Peasant Movement Committee Lin Bo drainage. Lin coincides with the absence, but here met a tall, tall, bright eyes are also visiting Lin Boqu guests. The guests volunteered to come forward and introduce themselves voluntarily: "I am Mao Zedong." Kuo Mo-jo was very pleased to see Mao Zedong, acting minister of the prestigious KMT Central Propaganda Department, standing firmly in front of himself Said: "I am Guo Moruo." The two unexpected guests have long heard each other's name, but never met, not met here, surprise, in those two pairs of tightly hold without stop To shake the big hand fully revealed. This is the first meeting between Guo Moruo and Mao Zedong. Their common conviction and common interest have brought them together with one another's heart and heart and began their friendship and exchange for half a century.
Second, Guo Moruo gave Mao Zedong's watch has been with him to the deathbed
Mao Zedong and Guo Moruo, two historical giants, up to 50 years of sincere friendship, can be witnessed from a watch.
That was 1945.
On August 15, Japan announced unconditional surrender and a great victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan. Chiang Kai-shek invited Mao Zedong three times to come to Chongqing for peace talks. In order to strive for peace in the country, Mao Zedong placed his life in a dilemma and resolutely accepted his invitation to fly to Chongqing.
Accompanied by Zhang Zhizhong, the minister of political affairs of the National Government Military Commission, and Hurley, the U.S. ambassador to China, at 3:37 pm on August 28, Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai and Wang Ruofu flew to Chongqing from Yan'an.
Mao Zedong went to Chongqing to negotiate the news, already set off in the mountain city a "whirlwind." When Mao Zedong's plane slowly landed at Jiulongpo Airport in Chongqing, the welcome crowd came from all directions. This is a moment of great interest, the mountain city a time of boiling! When Mao Zedong tall body appeared in the cabin doorway, standing on the ramp, to come to meet people from all walks of life and Chinese and foreign journalists, flocked to the fuselage surrounded arc. Mao Zedong, dressed in a tunic, smiled and removed the top hat from the Zhou Enlai and gave it to the welcome crowd. From Mao's move, people saw the style and fearless strength of the Chinese Communists. They also saw the sincerity for peace and solidarity of Mao Zedong's visit.
At a time when Guo Moruo, director of the Cultural Work Commission in Chongqing, accompanied with a great joy and a group of patriotic democrats who yearn for peace, Shen Junru, Zhang Lan, Huang Yanpei and Lei Zhen, they all arrived at the airport to greet the old man who had long miss him friend. When both Mao Zedong and Guo Mozuo got their hands clenched, Kuo Mo-jo was both happy and excited. While Mao Zedong raised his hand on the ramp to greet the welcoming crowd, Guo Moruo captured such a detail with the peculiar acumen of his poet: Mao Zedong did not wear a watch on his wrist.
That era, the watch is very stylish, not only practical, but also a symbol of status and status, not to mention those military and political officials at the airport to meet Mao Zedong, and even almost all sectors of society have a high-level watch or pocket watch with a gold chain, But even the watch did not even Mao Zedong. On the one hand, Guo Moruo deeply felt Mao Zedong's poverty and hardship; on the other hand, he also felt that Mao Zedong was going to spend intense and sinuous days and nights in Chongqing, arranging every minute and second. It was extremely inconvenient not to have a watch mastering time. of. Guo Moruo's head tossed this question.
On the afternoon of September 3, Guo Moruo and his wife, Yu Liqun, received a notice that Mao Tse-tung was going to visit the government and go to the government to visit people from all walks of life. All friends immediately rushed to summon this great news. Unfortunately, that day was to celebrate the victory day of the Anti-Japanese War. The entire city of Chongqing held a parade of victories. Vehicles could not pass. They had to temporarily change the location of the party to Mao's residence at Gui Yuan. Guo Moruo and Yu Liqun, anxiously waiting for their departure, immediately left for Mao Zedong's residence on foot. That day, Mao Zedong also met Jibo Bozan, Feng Nai Chao, Zhou Gucheng and other celebrities. During the discussion, Guo Moruo, who was extremely agitated, could not help but take off his watch from his wrist and gave both hands to Mao Zedong. Mao Zedong did not feel surprised and was glad to accept it. It seems that no words, the heart has been connected. In such a case, gifts are presented openly, and the gifts are valuable. Both the sender and the recipient are so calm, which contains unusual friendship.
This Omega watch, the shell is round, the Department of mechanical watches, table diameter 4 cm, the font "12" figures under the "Q" symbol and 0MFEGA words, brown leather strap. Produced in the world watch kingdom Switzerland. On the origins of this watch, one is said to have been purchased by Guo for his travels to Europe, one being a souvenir given by Soviet friends when Guo Moruo was invited to visit the Soviet Union in the early summer of 1945.
Originally, Mao Zedong did not readily accept gifts, even though he mostly accepted gifts, but this piece of Guo gave him his watch was regarded as treasure, has been with him to the deathbed.
Third, after the death of Mao Zhedong this table transferred to Shaoshan Memorial collection
A watch carrying an extraordinary history records an unforgettable year and at the same time unifies a democrat's extraordinary friendship with the Chinese Communist Party and its leaders. Perhaps it is for this reason that during the more than 30 years thereafter, Mao Tse-tung refused to change his form although he had the opportunity to replace the new form.
From late August to late September 1961, the CPC Central Committee held a working conference to discuss 70 industries in Lushan. A dance, Jiangxi Nongken encyclopedia actress Xing Yun Sheng accompanied Mao Zedong dancing, surprised to find Mao Zedong wrist worn on the old and old watch, the case of the chrome are almost naked, the dial on the blurred scale She could not help but ask: "Chairman Mao, your watch is so old, why not change it ?!"
"Oh, this can not be changed.This watch followed me more than ten miles, made a great contribution for me!" Mao Zedong shook his head again and again, but affectionately stroked the piece of watch.
In mid-September, the Central Working Conference ended and Mao Zedong left Lushan Mountain. Xiao Xing think of Mao Zedong piece of old watch, I thought: Chairman Mao Ronaldinho, more and more old, the eyes getting worse, you need a good table. She could not help but look at his wrist watch. This Inginag's watch is that when she joined the work, her mother bought her 200 yuan worth of savings over many years. She usually took extra care and she could not afford to wear it in general. Now she resolutely took off the watch from her wrist and handed both hands to Mao Zedong: "Chairman Mao, I have nothing to give to you, and this watch will give you a souvenir!" Mao Zedong was somewhat surprised, but looking To Xing so sincere, serious, a little hesitation will accept it. Xiao Xing see Mao Zedong took her watch, his eyes tears to Mao Zedong said: "Chairman Mao, I asked a little bit, you arrived in Beijing, do not forget, Jiangxi, there are my people. Also, you do not forget to give this "Mao Zedong even said:" No, it will not. "He patted the left pocket of his jacket:" This table is here. "(To add that at the time, Comrade Lei Feng was also wearing Swiss watch Inginag.)
Mao Zedong did not want to accept the gift of others, he told Xiao Xing: "You are a generous man, I can not stingy." Then, he walked to the table, from a pile of ink written in his practice pen out " The Red Army is not afraid of expedition difficult "and other poems, said:" Send a few poems to you! "Mao Zedong and took out a handkerchief from his pocket to poetic carefully wrapped, urged:" put it well, do not let people see, I Is given to you as a friend.No one of you, you have, people will jealous of you, in the future unfavorable to you.
Of course, Xing Yun-sheng knows very well that the people working around Mao Tse-tung are extremely disciplined and will never allow the paper slips of Mao Zedong to be taken out. Of course she will not know how precious Mao Tse-tung's ink is!
Xing Yun sent Mao Zedong's table, Mao Zedong is just as a collection of friendship, he is still usually used to Guo Moruo gave him piece of Omega table.
Although Mao Zedong kept the Omega strap around for more than 30 years, the use frequency was not very high because it was impossible for the watch to change Mao's lifestyles reversed day and night, especially when he often worked continuously for days and nights , The watch is forgotten.
Omega watch in his hand for a long time, the table at the end of the yellow, the dial is fuzzy, the strap is broken, the staff suggested a change of Mao Zedong, but he did not agree, he said: The strap can be worn. "Later, the mechanical failure of the watch, coincided with a gold watch sent to Mao Zedong by Swiss friends, staff took the opportunity to change the table for Mao Zedong, Mao Zedong had to wear the watch in his hand, but the feeling is too heavy, Uncomfortable, just take a few days to take down, ordered to pay the Treasury, and asked to repair the Omega watch again. So this Swiss old watch in 1969 and re-visit Beijing Hengdeli watch shop, watch repair workers cleaned the movement, replaced the dial and strap. After fixing, Mao continued to wear until his death in September 1976.
After the death of Mao Zedong, this watch was collected by the China Revolutionary Museum on display. Later, it was taken back by the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and handed over to the collection of Comrade Mao Zedong Memorial in November 1990.
