preface

mao zedong went abroad twice in his life. although both times he visited the soviet union, the treatment he received was completely different.from being on the bench to being a guest of honor.

according to li yueran's recollection, in mao zedong's eyes, deng xiaoping was the one with the most hope of becoming the successor in the leadership team. in the journey of history, the two were indeedshared fate, shared honor and disgrace, it can be said that the relationship is inseparable.

however, in 1957, several national leaders headed by mao zedong visited the soviet union. in front of many people, when they saw deng xiaoping standing aside, they offered their seats to him and asked him to sit down.mao zedong said he could just stand

what happened at that time?why did mao zedong not let deng xiaoping take his seat?what was mao zedong and his party doing in the soviet union?

differences between the two trips to the soviet union

as early as december 1949, a chinese delegation led by mao zedong came to the soviet union to celebrate stalin's 70th birthday and to target the sino-soviet conflict.the issue of unequal treaties was resolved through negotiation

at that time, the people’s republic of china had just been established for two months.our country's first official trip to another country, this journey can be said to not be particularly smooth.

until the negotiations after stalin's birthday, stalin repeatedly asked about the unequal treaty signed between china and the soviet union.change the subject, avoid talking about it, and kept dragging mao zedong.

this also made mao zedong's mood turn from sunny to cloudy. when the two sides were in a stalemate, the british media spread rumors that "mao zedong under house arrest in moscow", which broke the deadlock and stalin agreed to the idea of ​​renegotiating the contract.

after that, he immediately called china and saidzhou enlai and others can come to moscow to renegotiate the treatyit was not until february 1950 that mao zedong and others left moscow together.

but the difference is that the second visit to the soviet union, seven years later, was very different from the reception ceremony, itinerary arrangements, and living accommodation.the first time attitude is completely different

the cooperation between the two countries over the past few years has embodied the fruit of friendship. not only has the economy of the two countries improved significantly,the country's political status has undergone earth-shaking changes.

as mao zedong said,the east wind prevails over the west wind", the world situation is constantly changing, so what happened on the second trip to the soviet union?

the world is yours

thousands of students poured into the auditorium as time went by. it can be said that there were about 3,000 international students.the auditorium was packed with people.not only that, some students who came late could only stay in the club and classroom upstairs.

some foreign students, upon hearing about the arrival of the chinese leader,want to see the style, all followed into the church, and finally could only listen in the branch where a loudspeaker was installed to meet everyone’s needs.

at the beginning, it was the minister of propaganda lu dingyi who gave a report on the domestic situation. everyone listened attentively, but their mood had already shifted to anticipating chairman mao's arrival.

until mao zedong joked: "his name is deng xiaoping, and he is your senior", everyone panicked and stood up to give up their seats.sincerely express apology

faced with everyone's sudden enthusiasm, deng xiaoping was also unable to refuse the kindness. when he was about to sit down, mao zedong pulled the student who was sitting down again and said"just let him stand"

the students had never seen such a scene before, and were at a loss as to what to do. chairman mao then joked, "he is the general secretary of the party, let him serve the people, it’s okay to stand for a while.”

everyone started laughing, but deng xiaoping had spent a lot of time with mao zedong and knew that chairman mao loved to joke, so he started laughing too.talking about my study abroad experience
