Both great men made great contributions during the war years, and Mao Zedong's contribution was undoubtedly the greatest. Generally speaking, after the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), I'm afraid it will be above Mao. Of course, this is just my family's opinion. Welcome friends to correct me.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, when people were discussing the candidate for the prime minister of the central government, the Soviets said to Mao Zedong, you have a ready-made prime minister, so what's there to worry about if you hand over internal affairs and diplomacy to such people? Later facts proved this point. In diplomacy, Zhou Enlai's charm has attracted the whole world. There are many stories about this, and foreigners respect and fear Zhou Enlai. In a word, "The Duke of Zhou vomits, and the world goes home!" In internal affairs, he devoted all his energy to the start and development of industry, agriculture, national defense and science and technology. During this period, Mao Zedong was the policy maker and Zhou Enlai was the executor. People often attribute most of the credit to the former, but in fact, at least it should be shared equally. In particular, Zhou Enlai made extraordinary contributions to the motherland and people during the Cultural Revolution, which can be described as a great achievement!
Some people often question that Zhou Enlai was too weak in the Cultural Revolution. "Why not stand up and stop it?" Brother, you still have courage. You should be the prime minister! At that time, no one could stop the movement initiated by Mao Zedong, because his influence was unprecedented and unparalleled in that passionate era. If Zhou Enlai tries to stop it, it will catch fire, which will bring disaster to the revolution and China. With the Duke of Zhou around, there is hope for China. Zhou Enlai was advised to take care of his illness. Zhou said, if I don't go to hell, who will? No one can predict the consequences of that movement, which played a role as a lubricant, and only Zhou is qualified and qualified to bear it. Inside and outside the Party, only Zhou Enlai is a great jewel of * * * and the country. Some people say that Zhou Enlai is smooth, gentle and harmonious, then you don't know Zhou Enlai who is good at fighting in a peaceful atmosphere; Maybe you want to say that Zhou's struggle is not firm, then you are wrong again. Zhou Enlai risked his life for the revolution for decades, but as you said, didn't he defect earlier? Zhou Enlai is a great talent that the Kuomintang is vying for! People often say that character determines fate, and Zhou Enlai's character determines his way of struggle. Besides, this is the only way to fight in a chaotic political environment. Traitors are wrong, and Mao Zedong listens to rumors. Caution and fear, forbearance for the party, the overall situation, let Zhou Enlai make new contributions to the people of China in his later years. In particular, Zhou ruled out interference during the "Cultural Revolution" and, with amazing perseverance and foresight, prevented the total collapse of the national economy when domestic and foreign affairs were in trouble. This credit alone is enough to go down in history.
Generally speaking, Zhou Enlai's historical contribution is actually underestimated by the history of the Communist Party of China and has always been regarded as an assistant. In fact, Zhou Enlai is not only Mao Zedong's most effective assistant, but also Mao's successor Deng Xiaoping's most powerful recommender and supporter. Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory have Zhou Enlai's thesis. Zhou Enlai was a participant and an important leader of the revolution in China's modern history, and Zhou Enlai was one of the greatest figures of the Chinese nation in the 20th century. He should stand with Sun Yat-sen, Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping. Without Zhou Enlai, China will surely get out of the predicament of the Cultural Revolution and develop rapidly, but it will take longer and take more detours. Someone once said that Zhou Enlai was not the Commander-in-Chief. People all over the world laughed when you said that he was not the commander-in-chief, that he was excellent in sandwiches and martial arts, and that he had excellent organization and leadership skills. But I firmly believe that Zhou Enlai himself would say so, because modesty is his style. Zhou Enlai has made great contributions, made a statement and made its position clear. History has made him a perfect man through the ages.
Every year 1 8th, no, every day, every second, I miss the great Zhou Enlai!
