Before we knew it, it was late autumn again, and the late autumn in Moscow was actually cold winter. Time dripped to October 1949, and it was very close to a new era. However, when the Bolsheviks attracted a new era, they would inevitably send away old heroes. Shortly after the autumn began, Li Xiaofeng received a bad news that Lenin suddenly had a second stroke after returning to Moscow after visiting China!
This is really unfortunate news. You should know that the mentor was in good condition before. His physical function recovered well when he visited China and he could walk slowly. But who would have thought that after returning from China, his body suddenly collapsed and there was no sign at all. This caught Li Xiaofeng, who had always tried to find ways to protect the health of the mentor, was also off guard.
Li Xiaofeng still has a deep friendship with his mentor. The guide who guided Li Xiaofeng on the revolutionary road was Derrensky, and the mentor was the one who really allowed Li Xiaofeng to make rapid progress on this road. Moreover, compared with the iron-faced man who is not in the world, the mentor is a little easier to deal with. You can joke with Lenin, but no one dares to talk nonsense with Derrensky. It’s not that the iron-faced man is rigid and serious, and has no sense of humor, but that no one can find the feeling of humor as soon as anyone sees the face of the iron-faced man.
But Lenin is different. The tutor is more scary than the Iron-faced man when he is serious, especially when he breaks out, his heart is really broken. But in normal times, the tutor is still easy to talk to. In short, Li Xiaofeng has feelings for the tutor. When he heard that the tutor was not in good condition, he immediately rushed over.
Lenin lay quietly on the hospital bed, with no expression on his face. In fact, he couldn't make any expressions anymore. Once again, he was half paralyzed and even if he moved his mouth, he would become very ferocious. Although he was not a beauty-loving person, he didn't want people to see him become like this. So he simply didn't speak or move, and just lay there quietly.
Lenin knew that the situation was probably very bad this time. During the last stroke, due to timely rescue, although his movements became stiff and clumsy, he was still able to move. However, this time he obviously felt that the left half of his body no longer belonged to him, and even the right side was stiff and dull. This was definitely not a good sign. Lenin knew that he had not had much time left.
After thinking about it, he opened his mouth and called Krupskaya with great difficulty: "Give me...my...manuscript, I...I want...for the final review!"
For Krupskaya, of course she didn't want to see Lenin become like this, but when she saw Lenin's stubborn eyes, she softened again. She took out a large stack of manuscripts from her briefcase and began to read them slowly for Lenin.
These manuscripts are actually articles and speeches Lenin made in his life. After his mentor retired, he spent most of his energy on revising his previous articles. This is not only a summary of his own life, but also the last legacy left to future generations.
Over the past decade, these manuscripts have been revised at least three times. After each revision, Lenin was still satisfied, but after less than a year, as time changes, Lenin was dissatisfied and would inevitably make a new revision. This is the later "Complete Works of Lenin". This book was originally to be published in 1940, but it was quickly denied by Lenin and made a second revision. This time the publication time was changed to 1941, but unfortunately the Patriotic War
The struggle broke out. The whole country entered a state of emergency, and naturally Lenin had no intention of publishing books. So he simply made the third revision, and this time it was revised for five years. It was originally planned to be published in 1946, but it encountered the post-war economic tension. The Soviet Union was busy supporting the class brothers of Central and Eastern Europe, spending a dime as two cents, and Lenin was no exception. So he delayed the publication time again and conducted the final proofreading, and this modification was delayed until 1949.
Originally, Lenin felt that he had enough time to change slowly, especially after visiting China, he felt that the ever-changing New China also had many experiences worth learning from and learning from the Soviet Union. In the meantime, he was in a trend of writing and wrote a booklet of "Research on China's Experience". Unexpectedly, after such excitement and fatigue, he directly led to the recurrence of the old illness.
However, Lenin did not regret it. He felt that God had allowed him to see a new direction in Marxist practice at the last moment, which was the best gift to him. His life was for revolution, and it was worth living for two years without revolution. He was almost eighty years old. What's the point of living for one or two years less?
Lenin had a calm mind and had no fear of death. If he had any regrets, he could not practice the theories he had thought about in the second half of his life. Sometimes he felt that he was a little born at the wrong time. If he was as young as Li Xiaofeng, how beautiful it would be to practice more revolutionary theories. From the beginning to the end, he could only be a revolutionary pioneer and could not see the day when socialism and the realization of **.
When Li Xiaofeng rushed to Lenin's ward, the tutor had just reviewed a batch of manuscripts and fell asleep in a drowsy way. At this time, his sickly pale face actually revealed a strange rosy, which shocked Li Xiaofeng!
Before, Li Xiaofeng felt that as long as the tutor was still alive, he would lose some immortal power in the past and help regulate and support it for ten years. But when he really saw the tutor, he found that the situation was much more serious than he thought. The tutor is now in a state of returning to the future. If he didn't come, the tutor would have been in the past two or three days. Even if he came, he could only help the tutor to survive. Unless he saw the heavens, he would use the tutor's life to hang his life with the tutor's immortal power, otherwise the tutor's tutor's possibility of becoming an immortal at any time. This made Li Xiaofeng very angry. He always had a wish, which was to let the tutor watch him become the core of the leadership and how he led the Soviet Union forward. He knew that the tutor's lifelong wish was to build a harmonious Soviet Union, which was the whole of his life, and now, it was almost impossible.
Krupskaya had never seen Li Xiaofeng's face look so ugly. She looked at the young man who grew up and had always had the enthusiasm and ease of young people, as if there was no problem to stop him. But now just seeing Lenin's pathology, his face looked so ugly, which shows how deep his revolutionary friendship with Lenin is.
Li Xiaofeng slowly withdrew from the ward, and immediately called Lenin's health doctor over, and cursed at the same time: "The Central Committee of the Party has entrusted Comrade Lenin to you. You are so disappointed with the Central Committee of the Party? Why did Comrade Lenin suddenly get sick? Is there no sign?"
The doctors also had dark faces and couldn't raise their heads. They naturally understood the importance of Lenin. For the Soviet Union, Lenin was everything, and Lenin could be said to be the spiritual symbol of the Soviet Union. Can you imagine what the collapse of the spiritual idol of the whole nation means?
But the doctors were also puzzled while blaming themselves. Lenin's previous indicators were very good, but why did it collapse in the blink of an eye? So facing the angry Li Xiaofeng, the doctors lowered their heads.
"Andre, it's not for the doctors. They did all their duties conscientiously," Krupskaya hurried to smooth things over. "Your Comrade Lenin is so stubborn that he always forgets to eat and sleep when working..."
Speaking of this, Krupskaya also choked up. This made Li Xiaofeng feel even more uncomfortable. Just when the atmosphere was very stagnant, Lenin in the ward suddenly woke up, and he shouted in distractingly: "Andre, are you here? Andre?!"
Li Xiaofeng no longer cared about the doctors and rushed into the ward. When Lenin saw that it was Li Xiaofeng, he smiled rarely. He stretched out his right hand to Li Xiaofeng with difficulty and said vaguely: "I knew it was you, Andre!"
Li Xiaofeng tightly held Lenin's palm like dry grass. Once upon a time, this hand was so powerful that he opened a new chapter in Russia and opened a new era. But now, this hand is so powerless and it is so hard to lift it. It is really sad.
Even Li Xiaofeng had all kinds of emotions surged into his heart in an instant, not knowing what to say. Instead, Lenin kept comforting him: "Andre, I knew you would lose your temper with medical workers. This is not good. They are all good comrades who are dedicated and responsible... People have birth, old age, sickness and death. This is an objective law. Who can transcend the objective law? And I am already very satisfied. I can see Marx's theory gradually become reality, and can see that the class brothers in the Soviet Union and the whole world are getting better day by day. What else is there to be dissatisfied with this?"
Lenin didn't look like a dying man at all. On the contrary, he was still so positive and optimistic, as if death was just a sleep for him. This made Li Xiaofeng admire him. Compared with a truly open-minded revolutionary like Lenin, he was really small.
Not long after, Trotsky also came. Although these two men fought very hard, after they retired, their relationship became much better. They could calmly discuss the gains and losses of the year and summarize the experience and lessons rationally. Of course, once the future revolutionary policies and strategies were proposed, the differences between the two were still quite large. However, when both of them retired, it would be meaningless to even have a real person pk. So the argument is arguing, but the atmosphere is still friendly.
To Trotsky and Li Xiaofeng, Lenin expressed his biggest regret: "I still have many mistakes and negligence in this complete collection. I don't know if I have time to revise him..."
In this regard, Li Xiaofeng and Trotsky naturally kept comforting Lenin, believing that he could definitely complete the book. Of course, Trotsky was pure comfort, while Li Xiaofeng secretly made up his mind to help the tutor fulfill this wish. Only he can do this in this world.
Next, more and more people came. The Standing Committee of the Political Bureau came to visit each other, followed by the Political Bureau members, and then the Central Committee members lined up to wait. Anyway, as long as they were scrambling in the Soviet officialdom, there were almost no indifferent when they heard the news of Lenin's serious illness, unless they were brainless.
Of course, the one who can really talk to Lenin is probably the one at the level of the Political Bureau, or even the Political Bureau, cannot speak for long. After all, there are too many people, Lenin has limited spirit. As for the Central Committee, it is probably difficult to enter Lenin's ward.
When there were more and more people, Li Xiaofeng said goodbye and left. Lu Zutak also left. Both of them were in a bad mood because they were both promoted by Lenin. For them, Lenin belonged to the role of teacher and father. Now that the teacher and father are about to complete their life journey, how can they not be sad?
Because Lenin was seriously ill, the Soviet political arena after the beginning of winter seemed extremely heavy, and a large number of big men were pretending to be dead, which was completely different from the attitude of having to do it in real life during the Chinese New Year. Of course, this atmosphere is not without benefits, at least for Li Xiaofeng, stability is stronger than turmoil. His daily job is to hold meetings, approve documents and visit Lenin.
For him, the first two tasks were simple, while the third task was getting more and more difficult. As Lenin's vitality became weaker, Li Xiaofeng had to inject more immortal power into Lenin every day to maintain it. In the end, Lenin almost relied on Li Xiaofeng's immortal power to hold his life.
Lenin was undoubtedly lucky. Because of Li Xiaofeng, he was able to carry out the final revision and correction work, otherwise he would have been dead for a long time in his state. For the real Bolsheviks, he was also lucky. Because of Li Xiaofeng, Lenin was able to complete this work by himself without leaving behind Marx-like regrets.
The peaceful 1949 year was finally completed, and there was no major event this year. The only thing worth mentioning is that the Soviet Union finally took anti-bureaucracy and anti-** step into a step further, and banned all forms of small treasuries, and formed an effective mechanism to crack down on the behavior of small treasuries. This is of great significance to the future.
However, just as it entered 1950, the situation in Vietnam suddenly deteriorated. The friction and conflict between the north and south of Vietnam were becoming more and more intense, and large-scale conflicts were possible at any time. The Cuban problem also caused a stir. Costro tried to export the revolution, which greatly angered the United States. In order to completely kill the flames of the Latin American revolution and to stabilize its backyard, the Americans formulated a military operation called the Bay of Pigs... (To be continued.)
