Twenty-eight years ago today, on March 2, 1997 (January 24, 1997 lunar calendar), the ashes of Deng Xiaoping were scattered into the sea. Deng Xiaoping's children slowly walked out of Huairentang with a portrait of Deng Xiaoping, his ashes and a wreath in their hands. On the morning of March 2, 1997. The silver special plane, leaving the Xijiao Airport, flew around the capital in a low and low land, slowly, and then passed through the clouds and flew to the vast sea of the motherland... Inside the cabin were the ashes of Comrade Deng Xiaoping, who was sincerely loved by the whole party, the whole army and the people of all ethnic groups in the country. A bright red Communist Party of China flag covered the urn. This is the highest honor given by the party and the people to a 93-year-old Communist Party member. Donating corneas, dissecting the body, and scattering ashes into the sea - this is the last wish of Comrade Deng Xiaoping, who dedicated his life to the motherland and the people without reservation, and it is also a precious legacy he left to the party and the people. It shows the noble feelings of a thorough materialist. Today, Hu Jintao and other central leaders, together with relatives such as Zhuo Lin, wife of Comrade Deng Xiaoping, complete this exhortation of Comrade Deng Xiaoping in the most simple and solemn way. Through clouds and fog, the special plane flew over the sea and flew to the place that the great man who lived a magnificent life was most fascinated by. Perhaps the sky was moved. When the special plane flew over the sea, a brilliant rainbow appeared in the sky. At 11:25, the special plane flew to an altitude of 1800 meters. Holding back her grief, 81-year-old Zhuolin held the ashes of Comrade Deng Xiaoping with her trembling hands for a long time and couldn't bear to let go. She called out Comrade Xiaoping's name again and again, and it took a long time to sprinkle the ashes and colorful petals into the sea. The ashes were scattered into the sea, and flowers were sent to the great man. In August 1939, Zhuolin, who was studying at the Northern Shaanxi Public School in Yan'an, met Deng Xiaoping and fell in love with him and became significant other revolutionaries. That year, Deng Xiaoping was 35 years old and Zhuolin was 23 years old. The two of them have walked through 58 years of life together. Now, facing the ashes of her beloved husband, how can she not be heartbroken and heartbroken. This is a heartbreaking moment. With great sadness, Comrade Hu Jintao slowly scattered the ashes and petals into the sea. Then, Deng Xiaoping's children Deng Lin, Deng Pufang, Deng Nan, Deng Rong, Deng Protected Fang and their grandchildren, Mianzi, Moonzi, Yangyang and younger brother, knelt in the cabin in grief, scattered the ashes and petals, and fulfilled the last wishes of their beloved father and grandfather. Deng Rong choked up: "Dad, you returned to the sea and nature, your last wish has been fulfilled, you rest in peace!" Sun Yong and Zhang Baozhong, who have been with Comrade Deng Xiaoping for many years, wore military uniforms and faithfully guarded in front of his urn. Tears streamed and mourning continued. The first time I saw the ocean, Deng Xiaoping was still a 16-year-old boy. It was 1920, he crossed the ocean, went to the European continent to work-study, seeking the truth of saving the country and the people. In those days, the beautiful and suffering motherland often crossed the ocean and sank into his dream... The sea was the starting point of his revolutionary career. In 1922, 18-year-old Deng Xiaoping joined the Chinese Youth Communist Party in Europe in France. Since then, he has embarked on the road of a proletarian professional revolutionary. The sea has tempered his strong will. From the Baise uprising to the bloodbath Taihang, from advancing into the Central Plains to the decisive battle of Huaihai, from crossing the Yangtze River to the southwest, he risked his life and death, and fought in the south and north, making immortal contributions to the creation of the republic. The sea has strengthened his revolutionary belief. As early as when he was studying in Moscow, he "made up his mind": "More resolutely hand over my body to our party and to this class." More than 60 years later, before retiring, he still said affectionately: My life belongs to the party and the country. After retiring, I will continue to be loyal to the cause of the party and the country. The plane circled, and the flowers were scattered with the ashes to the boundless sea; the sea whimpered, the cold wind swept the waves, mourning the departure of the great man... Deng Xiaoping was fascinated by the sea all his life, and he had an indissoluble bond with the peaks and valleys of the waves. As soon as he went to the sea, he stretched his arms and swam to the depths. No matter how deep the sea was, how strong the wind was, or how big the waves were, he would chop the waves and move forward bravely. The immensity of the sea has broadened his broad mind; the turbulence of the waves has shaped his tenacious character. The tide ebbs and flows, and the sea ebbs and flows, just like the three ups and downs of his life. In his revolutionary career of more than half a century, although he has gone through risks, he has always been unyielding, and he has always been able to turn the tide and fall again and again at critical junctures in history, showing the fearless heroic character of a great proletarian revolutionary in the sea. History will not forget that in December 1978, Deng Xiaoping, who made his third comeback, took the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China as the starting point to open the prelude to a new great revolution and create a socialist road with Chinese characteristics - "If we don't carry out reform now, our modernization cause and socialist cause will be buried..." Under the guidance of his ideological line of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts, the tide of reform is surging. From the countryside to the city, from the coast to the mainland, from the economic base to the superstructure... Reform, with magical magic, has brought the ancient land of China to life. As a poem in praise of Comrade Xiaoping wrote: "Then there was the Fengyang flower drum, which sounded the beat of farmers going to the market; there was the Shenzhen myth, which completed the leap of a century in ten years..." In the spring of 1992, Deng Xiaoping came to the seaside again, like a helmsman, once again pointed out the voyage for China's reform, opening up and modernization. - - - Reform and opening up should be more courageous, with a more liberated mind and faster steps. - - - To judge the gains and losses of reform and all aspects of work, in the final analysis, it is necessary to determine whether it is conducive to the development of the productive forces of the socialist society, whether it is conducive to enhancing the comprehensive national strength of the socialist country, and whether it is conducive to improving the people's living standards. - - The basic line must be managed for a hundred years and cannot be shaken. Deng Xiaoping, known as the chief architect of socialist reform, opening up and modernization, once again set off a huge wave of reform and opening up in China with his sea-like courage. Airplanes circled, flowers accompanied by ashes were scattered to the boundless sea; the sea whimpered, the cold wind rolled the waves, mourning the departure of a great man... History will not forget that on the first day of the new year in 1979, Deng Xiaoping crossed the ocean for the last time to visit the United States. This time he went abroad, a full 59 years after he crossed the ocean for work-study when he was a teenager. Wind and rain, vicissitudes of life. The Chinese nation, which has been through too many hardships, too many ups and downs, and too many hardships. Isolation and self-defense will inevitably bring stagnation, poverty, ignorance and backwardness. - - It is impossible for any country to become developed. - - The Pacific Ocean should no longer be an obstacle that separates us, but a link that connects us. Deng Xiaoping opened the closed country with the hand of a giant. Shenzhen and Zhuhai, located on the edge of the South China Sea, were the first scenic lines of China's opening up to the outside world. In April 1979, he put forward the bold idea of setting up a Special Economic Zone, encouraging entrepreneurs to "fight a bloody path". The door of the country has opened! The big pattern of all-round opening up along the coast, along the river and along the border has been formed, and the ancient China has finally opened its broad mind to the world. The plane circled, and the flowers accompanied the ashes, scattered to the boundless sea; the sea whimpered, the cold wind swept the waves, mourning the departure of the great man... The sea and the sky are connected, and the blue waves are connected. Comrade Xiaoping cares about the people of all ethnic groups, the compatriots of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and the overseas Chinese... Maybe the surging waves will send his ashes to the thousands of miles of the motherland. Xiaoping looks back with a smile and consolation. The great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics he pioneered is full of weather everywhere, and there are many successors, and there is great hope. Maybe the surging waves will send his ashes to Hong Kong and Macau. Xiaoping looks back with a smile and consolation. His great concept of "one country, two systems" will soon become a reality. The return of Hong Kong is just around the corner, and the return of Macau is just around the corner. Perhaps, the surging waves will send his ashes to Taiwan. Xiaoping looks back with a smile and consolation. Realizing the complete reunification of the motherland is the common wish of Chinese people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and his flesh and blood compatriots will be reunited one day. Perhaps, the surging waves will send his ashes to the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean... Xiaoping looks back with a smile and consolation. Overseas Chinese are proud of their motherland's take-off in reform and opening up; dignitaries and people from all over the world praise Xiaoping: "a rare outstanding figure in the 20th century," "a world-class leader recognized in this century," "Deng Xiaoping's influence has transcended national borders"... Deng Xiaoping belongs not only to China, but also to the world. The ashes are scattered in the sea, and flowers are sent to the great man. At 11:50, the special plane circled to bid farewell to the sea. Looking through the porthole, the water and sky are the same, and the waves are surging. From the never-ending sound of the waves, people seem to hear the voice that has shaken the hearts of countless people: "I am honored to be a citizen of the world as a member of the Chinese nation. I am the son of the Chinese people. I love my motherland and people affectionately." A person's life is limited, but the cause of the people is eternal. Like a wave, he flows from the mountain stream of his hometown into the Jialing River and the Yangtze River, then passes through the clouds and mists, crosses the Three Gorges, gallops down, after twists and turns, and finally merges into the vast sea... The long journey shows a simple truth: if you dare to stand up to the tide of the times, a drop in the ocean will be eternal. Deng - Xiao - Ping - an immortal name engraved in the hearts of hundreds of millions of people, he has eternal life in the sea! Hu Jintao, Deng Xiaoping's wife Zhuo Lin and their children, the ashes of Comrade Deng Xiaoping and the colorful petals were slowly scattered into the blue sea
