Chapter 215: Death (I)
The southernmost small building of the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army in Beijing is surrounded by a solemn and solemn atmosphere, and the armed ** with loaded guns and ammunition carefully checks the special pass of every person who enters and exits the small building, and the doctors and nurses in white coats are strictly investigated, and the authoritative doctors such as Dr. Liu, a cardiovascular expert in the General Hospital, who are internationally renowned, are also treated equally, and even begin to be searched and checked because of a small misunderstanding when the ** soldier does not know him. However, this leader in the field of cardiovascular disease research in China has no complaints, because he is well aware of the historical responsibility he shoulders, and when he gradually reaches a conclusion, he knows that he is witnessing the process of history, the end of a glorious history, and the arrival of a new history.
In the past few days, the foreign media have been keen to discuss the condition of the old man lying on the hospital bed, and whether his death will cause turmoil in the political arena of the republic, because the son and grandson of this old man both play an extremely important role in the supreme power structure of the republic, and whether his descendants can stabilize their own power after losing his protection and pass on the glory of the family, or this force has long been eyed by the tiger. The fangs of the political opponents are torn and torn apart, and these are the most enthusiastic topics in the foreign media.
Dr. Liu didn't know these things, he only knew that an old man who had been in the limelight for half a century was about to pass away, and a red legend would become an eternal memory.
In the past few days, Dr. Liu has met with almost all the most influential people in the republic, including all the members of the Politburo Standing Committee, some old comrades who are retired but still have considerable influence in some fields, and almost everyone will carefully inquire about the condition of his expert group leader Tang Lao when they come to visit him. Doctor Liu can still understand, a person in his fifties, was scolded as a "little king and eight lambs" and raised his hand to beat, but Doctor Liu did not have any embarrassment, because he knew who this old man was, in the obliterated wild history, he was a legend of a green forest, and he was a representative of the old warlords, and when the old man was emotionally in front of Donald's sickbed and wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Donald, Doctor Liu didn't feel ridiculous, but his mood was a little agitated, and he seemed to be able to integrate into the iron-blooded kindness condensed in the career of Jin Ge Iron Horse in a trance. This complex of blood and fire made Dr. Liu, who grew up in peacetime, unable to help himself for a long time.
And today, it is the tenth day that Donald miraculously survived, in the ward on the top floor of the small building, there are always many people around the sickbed, but sometimes Donald's relatives or doctors are left alone to accompany him, and Donald has been in a deep coma, and it is said that he has not spoken the last word with his children and grandchildren.
In the outer Yan of the ward set. A middle-aged nurse in her forties wearing a white nurse uniform sat on the sand, carefully checking the ** in the medicine box, she was fair-skinned and beautiful, and saw Dr. Liu coming over and hurriedly got up to say hello, Dr. Liu nodded slightly, she is the head nurse of the department, the advanced worker of the general hospital for several years, the work is serious and responsible and extremely careful, almost everyone in the hospital thinks she is the best candidate when discussing the resident nurse in the hospital.
"Who's in there?" Doctor Liu pointed to the room in the suite
The side pressure is very low.
"Secretary Tang and General Secretary Zhu." Nurse Li was also cautious, and Dr. Liu sighed, the people who have come and gone in the past few days are the most powerful figures in the republic, and although General Secretary Zhu's second visit was a little surprising, it did not cause most of Dr. Liu's surprises
The lounge next to the ward was full of people, Tang Dun's mother Xiao Jinhua, mother-in-law Ma Suzhen, Tang Second Aunt, the second and third generations of the Tang family, plus the Ning family also came a few people, the sand and wooden chairs were full, but no one spoke, the atmosphere was very depressing, and only a slight breathing sound could be heard.
Because they knew that Old Tang had passed away in the past two days, almost everyone in the Tang family put down what they were doing to accompany the old man on his last journey, but the ward could not always be surrounded by too many people, and most of the time, the people of the Tang family were waiting in this lounge.
"Jinhua, what do you say Secretary Hua and Tang Yi are talking about?" Masu
Zhen turned his head and asked Xiao Jinhua in a low voice.
Xiao Jinhua shook his head gently, if she could calmly deal with Tang Yi's success or disgrace ten years ago, but now it is not what it used to be, Tang Yi has shouldered too much, no matter what, Tang Lao's death will eventually rewrite the political map of the high-level of the republic, just like the general secretary, will he mention the issue of "theoretical succession" in private in the future, intentionally or unintentionally? And there will inevitably be a brief period of political fog in the political arena of the republic, and only God knows what the situation will be after the fog has cleared.
"Why hasn't Wan Dong come back yet?" The second aunt muttered to herself anxiously. The second uncle will send an obituary to Xinhua News Agency at the end of the review, everyone
I have enough psychological preparations, and I have begun to prepare for the future in an orderly manner.
The little sister took Ning Ning's hand, sat quietly in a corner, staring at the direction of the door with bright eyes, maybe this was the first time in her life that she felt the power of home, she knew how sad Tang Yi was now after Ning Lao's death, and naturally, she felt that she and Ning Ning were together, so that Tang Yi's grief could be greatly reduced, and when the family of three was together last night, Tang Yi put down her disguise and cried bitterly in the arms of the little sister.
The old man on the sickbed closed his eyes slightly and his demeanor was still so kind, Tang Yi silently listened to his grandfather's subtle breathing, and all that lingered in his mind was the bits and pieces of grandpa and him together, grandpa's expectations for himself were so high, and his preference for himself was known to the whole family, and the closest person in the world was about to leave him, and he couldn't even say anything to himself at the end?
Tang Yi wouldn't be annoyed to ponder, I knew what I should do like this? What he was thinking about was his grandfather's life, and he had no regrets, and at the end of his life, what was he most worried about?
was stunned, and even the secretary patted him lightly on the shoulder, and he kept it
He leaned over and didn't move.
"Don't be too sad." The special magnetic voice of the chief secretary sounded in his ears, which made Tang Yi suddenly remember that he was not alone in the ward.
In the past few days, some members of the Standing Committee of the Central Political and Administrative Bureau have returned to Beijing after their trips early, while others have postponed their plans to visit the country, all waiting for the arrival of this historical process.
The secretary came to the ward to visit Tang Lao for the second time, I don't know if it was a coincidence, but he chose the time when the second uncle was not there, which also had a scene where the two of them were alone in Tang's room.
"I'm sorry." Tang Yi was a little apologetic to the general secretary
Say.
"It's okay." The secretary smiled gently, turned his head to look at Donald on the sickbed, his eyes were a little sad, and said softly, "The old man is leaving, I am also very uncomfortable, for the party, this is a huge loss, as far as I am concerned, there is one less good teacher, and the proletarian political parties in the world are also missing a guiding light, which cannot be made up for by anything!"
Tang Yi nodded silently, the secretary of the general secretary has a high evaluation of his grandfather, but the situation will meet, and his grandfather's influence today is so extensive and huge, but the statement of the secretary before his sickbed is not equal to official recognition, the obituary dispute that the second uncle participated in is this, Tang Yi is so disgusted with this phenomenon, but he also knows that politics is like this, and some things must be fought for.
The meaning of the second uncle is that the evaluation of the grandfather in the obituary should use three greatness, that is, the great Marxist, the great proletarian revolutionary, and the great proletarian politician; One of the founders, that is, one of the founders of the liberation of the republic; There is no disagreement with the latter point, but on the three greats, some people think that the evaluation is very high, especially the great Marxist, which is often used in the obituary of the Supreme Leader's death, for example, to point out that it is safer to use the term "outstanding Marxist".
There were also disagreements over some of the wording, such as "the proven and outstanding leader of the Party and the state", and it was suggested that the word "time-tested" should be removed, since the death of another giant of his grandfather's time, such a rhetoric was not added.
In short, an obituary that is very common in the eyes of the outside world is actually because it involves the conclusion of the coffin, and the political significance in it makes every word and sentence have to be carefully considered.
"You also have to rest well, the body is the capital of the revolution!" Before leaving, the secretary always pressed Tang Yi's hand hard, and his voice was also very powerful.
Tang Yi has heard people talk about it, grandpa is leaving, the secretary should be relieved, a majestic mountain that has been pressed in his heart for many years has finally disappeared, and everyone will celebrate with their hands. But Tang Yi knew that the general secretary would never be so superficial in his view of the problem, he and himself were the same kind of people, and he would not only think about problems from his own likes and dislikes.
However, the actions of the director of the Central Office slightly aroused Tang Yi
of disgust.
The secretary left, and the people of the Tang family in the lounge next door were also sent out, Director Le Jiping walked beside Tang Yi, smiled and whispered, "Secretary Tang, don't worry, Secretary Zhu cherishes talents very much!"
Don laughed and said yes.
also knew the meaning of Director Le Jiping's words, he wanted to be relieved, and the secretary's attitude towards himself would not change, but after he reminded him, Tang Yixin was disgusted.
Although Tang Yi didn't think about the political situation after his grandfather's death these days, he also knew what would change, the core battle for the next generation would be even more intense, and some of Chairman An's staunch allies would be won over, and whether the academy would take the opportunity to cultivate a new generation of characters who could compete with him was the most critical issue.
