Zhang Baozhong, the security minister who has worked with Deng Xiaoping for more than 40 years. He was only 20 years old when he was a guard in Deng Xiaoping. He still remembers that Deng Xiaoping personally taught him how to take clothes. "Fold it in half first, and then wear it on your right arm. I will always remember ";
Guo, 1978, Comrade Zhu De was transferred as a health care doctor. That year, she was 38 years old and wore a long beautiful big braid.
Fu Chunen, a health care doctor who has been working around for 10 years, accompanied Guo to finish the last journey of life.
For the three of them, the courtyard of Di 'anmen is also their familiar home, and Deng Xiaoping and his wife Zhuo Lin are their special relatives.
Stroll in the lush courtyard
Many flowers and plants in this yard were planted by Zhang Baozhong himself. Because Deng Xiaoping likes flowers and plants very much, Zhang Baozhong works as a part-time gardener, planting Parthenocissus tricuspidata in the Western Wall and Cedar, Pomegranate, Cherry, Begonia and Lilac in the yard. Two rows of flower paths were planted at the door: a row of peony and a row of peony.
This lush courtyard has become a place for Xiaoping to walk. He walks slowly in the yard every day 18 laps. "It is estimated that the outer ring120 ~140m adds up to more than 3,000 meters, which is six or seven miles." Fu Chunen said.
Busy at ordinary times, the flowers and plants in the courtyard have become the media for Deng Xiaoping to get close to nature, and walking every day has become the best time for him to perceive the changes of the four seasons. Although he talks very little, whenever he sees new buds on the lawn or green branches, he will happily say to the people around him, look, grass has grown here. Every year when the peony blooms, he never forgets to count which bud blooms first.
Deng Xiaoping likes cedar and red maple in the yard best. Usually, after the flowering period, only the green leaves are left in the yard, which makes the red maple "a little red among all greens". Xiaoping often said that it is "a unique flower" and once recited Du Mu's "Mountain Walk" with great interest: "There are people in the depths of the cold mountain and there are people in the depths of the white clouds. Stop and sit in the maple forest late, and the frost leaves are red in February. "
When the cherry trees in the yard bear fruit, Deng Xiaoping counts them every day to see which one grows up again. The cherry trees didn't perform well that year, only a few dozen * * *, but it didn't affect Xiaoping's interest at all. He happily picked it and gave it to his grandchildren. As long as leisure is not counted, this is Xiaoping's attitude towards fruit trees in the courtyard.
Deng Xiaoping not only picks cherries for her grandchildren, but also gives them red, green and yellow sugar beans every day. Once he smiled and said, "Why don't reporters interview me and see what I have been doing all day?"? This is my job and it is difficult to do. "
In such a clip, Deng Xiaoping changed from a national leader to an ordinary person.
See nature in "playing"
Zhang Baozhong has worked with Deng Xiaoping for so many years, but he has been criticized for playing bridge.
Xiaoping loves to play bridge, and his cards are sharp. Nie Weiping has seen him beat the shit out of others at the poker table and pursue them. "If the card doesn't bark, he will criticize." Zhang Baozhong said. Therefore, Zhang Baozhong had to find his own books to read, constantly cramming cards skills, and regard this as a homework that must be mastered at work.
Watching football is another hobby of Deng Xiaoping. He Long, then director of the Sports Commission, often invited him to watch the game. One year, Zhang Baozhong accompanied Deng Xiaoping to the stadium to watch a football match. Afraid of being seen by the crowd, they hid in a small house in the recording studio of the stadium and sat on two small stools to watch the game.
Deng Xiaoping's most brilliant football record is 1990 World Cup, with 52 matches and 1 failure. Among many stars, Diego Diego Maradona impressed him the most. Diego maradona always says, Look, that little man! He also keeps the air of a strategist when watching the ball. 1977, watching the Sino-Soviet volleyball match, China fell behind 0-9, and Deng Nan next to him said, Oh, it must have lost, so far behind. He said, "Don't panic." Then China began to pull back the score, from 0-9 to 9-0, and finally won. Xiaoping said, "What's the panic? What happened? Our technology is higher than theirs. "
Swimming is another lifelong hobby of Deng Xiaoping. He likes swimming in the sea, especially on rainy days. He was more excited when the wind and waves were heavy, so he went into the waves and the guards had to follow him. In order to protect Deng Xiaoping's safety, Zhang Baozhong designed a special bathing suit for him, which looked like an ordinary life jacket, and his chest and back pockets were filled with foam. "You can float on the water without effort." Zhang said.
1992, Deng Xiaoping came to Beidaihe again. This time, the doctors didn't agree with him to go swimming in the sea at the age of 88. However, after staying for five or six days, Deng Xiaoping really itched when he saw others swimming, so he tried to find a chance to go into the sea again.
That time, he always swam eight times in the sea. The time prescribed by the doctor is half an hour at a time. When the time comes, he will wave the flag on the shore, but he always says, "It's still early to wave the flag, and I haven't swam enough." So I often work overtime. I swam for 45 minutes at the longest.
This is also the last time he went swimming in the sea in his life.
Last day
1992 southern tour of Deng Xiaoping. Always taciturn, he went to Shenzhen, Zhuhai and other special economic zones and hardly talked less. The most exciting time, from Shenzhen to Zhuhai by boat for an hour, he spoke for a whole hour.
The southern tour speech echoed all over China, but it was also very tiring. According to Deng Xiaoping's eldest daughter, Deng Lin, they feel that Deng Xiaoping's energy is not as good as before after he came back from traveling in the south. His daily walk is reduced from 18 to 12. He stopped swimming, but insisted on doing aerobics, which was a set of aerobics he "developed" himself. Such fitness activities continued until he became seriously ill.
Zhang Baozhong remembers that when he first came to Deng Xiaoping at 1954, Deng Xiaoping suffered from duodenal ulcer, but he didn't want to listen to the doctor. Sometimes the doctor comes and he says, isn't this a disease? Don't look -but after he became seriously ill in his later years, the requirements for doctors have become more and more cooperative.
Deng Xiaoping needs not only long-term infusion, but also frequent venipuncture when he is seriously ill in the late stage. "He must be very painful. We all know his pain, so it is more painful. But we have never seen him lose his temper, which is beyond my imagination. If a needle doesn't go in, he won't be angry, so let him go in again. He has always respected the work of medical staff. " Fu Chunen recalled.
The "Parkinson's syndrome" is damaging people's nervous system, which is very tormenting, but Guo remembers that he never uttered a moan. "He lay there very quietly, as if there was no one in the ward."
"He is particularly strong, which has something to do with his personality. But he didn't lose his temper, not that he tried to control it. No, he is really calm. " Fu Chunen said.
1997 On New Year's Day, CCTV broadcast 12 episodes of documentary "Deng Xiaoping". He watched quietly every night and said nothing. On TV, he lost his life in France. He was brave and arrogant, with three ups and downs ... These life records restored by movies and videos accompanied him through his last time.
