On September 9, 1976, Chen Yihua stayed at the headquarters of Far East Telecom as usual to handle official business.

Some time ago, Tianyi pager officially entered the Singapore market, relying on the existing business channels of the imperial capital, the telecommunications company built an overseas branch very quickly, and now the company is building a peripheral receiving base station, while recruiting local employees, the company recruited employees in the early stage of the local area, and some outstanding ones will also send them to the Hong Kong headquarters for training, do key training.

'Boss' Chen Yihua was looking at the documents in his hand intently, and Zhao Kun suddenly came into the office without knocking on the door, startling Chen Yihua.

'What's wrong' Chen Yihua has never seen Zhao Kun like this, you must know that Zhao Kun usually always has a cold face, which is definitely the character of Mount Tai who does not change color, Chen Yihua doesn't know what happened, it can make his face so ugly, and let him come in directly without knocking, and he is so urgent when he speaks.

"Boss, listen to the radio, something happened" Zhao Kun didn't realize how different his current behavior was from usual, I don't know if it was his own delusion, Chen Yihua only felt that Zhao Kun spoke with a crying tone.

Now Zhao Kun's appearance is like the sky is falling, his expression is as frightened as he is, this time Chen Yihua really feels that something is wrong, he has always thought that Zhao Kun can shed tears for her sister, there is nothing in the world that can make Zhao Kun so out of shape.

4 p.m. BJ, September 9, United Press: 4:06 p.m.; AP (TOKYO NEWS): 4:07 p.m.; Reuters (HKT): 4:10 p.m.; AFP (Hong Kong): 4:15 p.m.;

'The Y Committee of the GC Party of China, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of the People's Republic of China, the State Council of the Chinese People's Republic of China, and the Committee of the Central Committee of the Chinese GC Party are extremely saddened to the whole Party Chinese, the whole army, and the people of all nationalities in the country; Comrade Mao Zedong, the great mentor of our Party, our army and our people, Chairman of the Y Committee of the Central Committee of the Chinese GC Party, Chairman of the Central Military Committee of the Chinese GC Party, and Honorary Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, passed away at 10:00 on September 9, 1976 in BJ after many meticulous treatments、、、、、、、、、、、

Mourning sounds, announcements, the Internationale, and the entire broadcast lasts for a total of 59 minutes and 50 seconds.

When the radio slowly began to broadcast, the opium of the personnel present at Far East Telecom Company was colorless, and the scene was silent for a long time, Chen Yihua finally understood why Zhao Kun showed such an expression after listening to the broadcast, for them, the death of a great man would indeed make them feel that the sky was about to fall.

On September 9, 76, after the ZhongY People's Radio broadcast the "Letter to the People of All Nationalities" to the whole country and the whole world on time, and bitterly announced the news of the death of Mao Zedong, the great leader of the Chinese people, the people of the whole country were shocked, and the 800 million people were extremely saddened by the loss of their beloved great leader! At that time, Chinese mainland had not yet listened to the first broadcast, so they called one after another, pouring out their grief and indignation, and expressing their sorrow.

Not only Chinese mainland was shocked, but the whole world was shocked! After the CCTV broadcast, several major news agencies in the world reported the news of the "death of Mao Zedong, chairman of the Chinese GC Party", as quickly as possible. All propaganda machines have been activated, and they have been reported one after another as extremely big news, and the heads of state and government, political party leaders, social organizations, and well-known personalities have issued speeches and telegrams one after another to express their extremely deep condolences.

"At 4 p.m. on September 9, it was a sad moment that seemed to stop the earth turning."

Mao Zedong died at 0:10 on September 9, 1976 in BJ, and as soon as the news was announced at 4 p.m., it shook the world and became the center of world public opinion, as the German news agency dpap said: "Within a few hours after the announcement of Mao Zedong's death, praise poured in from all over the world. Foreign news called it "news that shocked the world" and "the top priority in international life." The world's mainstream media have put "all other news aside", rearranged newspaper layouts, adjusted radio and television broadcast times, and become "overwhelming headlines".

The international conference that was being held at that time was interrupted after hearing the news and increased the activities to mourn Mao Zedong. UN Secretary-General Waldheim said at the UN General Assembly: "Chairman Mao Zedong was a great thinker, philosopher and poet", and "for almost half a century, his influence has spread throughout the world", and the major delegates of the international conference (the representative of the Soviet Union retired) mourned the death of Mao Zedong and praised Mao Zedong's historical contributions.

Agence France-Presse's "Le Monde" published China's "Letter to the People" in nine pages, from the first to the ninth page, and published editorials, articles, and feedback from people from all walks of life. The three major French television stations temporarily scheduled special programs, and the usual half-hour news was extended by an hour and a half today, all of which reported the news of Mao Zhuxi's death. The French president, foreign minister, speaker of parliament, various political parties, trade union organizations, youth, mass organizations, and celebrities from all walks of life all issued statements and speeches expressing deep condolences over the death of Mao Zedong.

In Tokyo, the major newspapers on September 10 carried a front-page headline on Mao Zedong's death. There is also a special phenomenon in Japanese reports, that is, the Japanese people have a special feeling for Mao Zhuxi, and in all the reports, the word "Mao Zedong" is almost not seen, and they are all called "Mao Zhuxi" (occasionally "Chairman Mao Zedong"), which can be called a typical example of the relationship between the Sino-G regime and the capitalist countries in the Mao Zedong era.

The Asahi Shimbun published eight full-page reports on Mao Zhuxi's quotations on party building, revolution, imperialism, the mass line, political work, education and training, unity, and foreign policy.

According to the Philippine Daily Express, Mao Zedong "was first and foremost a mentor who led hundreds of millions of Chinese people to rely solely on their own resources to free themselves from the shackles of hunger, disease and ignorance, while ignoring the obstacles created by the West and its peddlers of lies and deceptive reports and internal enemies、、、、、、、、、、

"Under Mao's leadership, the world's most populous country has risen to its feet, freed from decay, division and occupation, from the plundering of foreign captives and its own warlords, and from unity, discipline, peace and relative prosperity," the Sydney Morning Herald said. He made the country one of the world powers militarily, politically and, above all, ideologically、、、、、"

An editorial in the Cypriot newspaper "Democracy" said: "The death of Mao Zhuxi shook the whole world, suddenly made our planet greatly inferior, deprived us of a leading giant of spiritual culture, and deprived of an active promoter of world history." ”

The Pakistan Times published an editorial entitled "The Death of a Giant", pointing out that the historical era has been linked by very different names of individuals. However, what other name can the past half century have than to be called the Mao Zedong era? In fact, no one in modern history has influenced his own era more completely and importantly than the leader of the 800 million Chinese who has just become a historical figure. He is undoubtedly one of the greatest figures in history.

The Oriental Daily editorial: "Mao Zedong has passed away, and the world has lost a unique politician, a profound thinker, a unique organizer, and a giant of mankind." “

"Combat Daily" said: "Mao Zedong not only changed the history of his country and its people, but also pointed out the historical goals. He promoted the inexhaustible power of the Chinese people, and set off a storm of social change on the continent with the most contradictions left over from history.

The editorial of the Dutch "General Daily" pointed out: "Mao Zedong was a great statesman, and under his leadership, he removed the traditional backwardness, broke the traditional isolation, and became a world power recognized by almost the whole world."

"World leaders, including Western politicians, are praising Mao as one of the great leaders in Chinese history," the United Press International reported. But Moscow expressed its deep condolences to the Zhongg after nine hours, and in Taipei, some rejoiced, and the Cabinet convened an emergency meeting to discuss the fate of Mao Zedong. ”

When it comes to Mao Zedong today, there are mixed reviews and different reputations, which is the inevitable result of the gradual formation of two views on reform after China's reform and opening up, and it is not surprising. But no one in the world denies Mao Zedong's great influence, as the L sleeve of the Chinese people, Mao Zedong's image far exceeds the vast borders of China, and his shadow appears widely on the earth, with far-reaching influence in the history of this century.

In 1999, in order to usher in the arrival of the new millennium, Time magazine in the United States organized a compilation team to select 100 events and 100 people who influenced the world from the 1000 to 2000 millennium and publish a picture album. They did not include Washington, the founding father of the United States, but Mao Zedong was included in it; At the same time, the victory of the Long March commanded by Mao Zedong to reverse the crisis of the Chinese revolution is also listed as the most influential historical event in the world. It is rare for people and events to be included in the album at the same time. Mao Zedong, who wanted to rebel against the capitalist system, was listed as a great man of the millennium by the most developed capitalist countries, which is also a wonder of ancient and modern times.

The 76-year-old Hong Kong people's feelings for Mao Zedong are complicated, there are many people who think he is good, and it is not for nothing that they think he is bad, but even those who think he is bad cannot deny the great contributions he made to the entire Chinese nation, and at the time of his death, even those who hated him expressed deep condolences for the death of Mao Zedong, a great poet, a great thinker, and a great leader.
