Mao Zedong's health experience: rubbing the towel with hot water

In 1961, Hu Qiaomu was sick, and Mao Zedong wrote a letter specifically about the method of recuperation:

You have to take a long-term rest, not counting the day, and getting more and more. Cao Cao Shi Yun: The period of profit and contraction is not alone. The blessing of the good fortune can be forever. This poem should be read. You seem to be rehabilitating the land, with the climate shift, engaged in swimming in the mountains, watching free books, not reading the book, and regardless of current events, so it may be better. For one, two or three years of recuperation, don't just plan for a few months. If you are eager to work, you will relapse. Your illness is similar to that of Chen Yun, Lin Biao, Comrade Kang Sheng, Lin and Kang because of long-term rest, the disease is already good, and Chen disease has also improved, and can follow the example.

This is Mao Zedong’s own experience of health care. One of the major shortcomings of Mao Zedong's living habits is that he can't work according to the law of the sun. On the contrary, he himself has reflected on this. On December 29, 1950, he wrote to Zhou Shizhen, saying: The problem of sleepiness is Changed, implemented for half a month, according to the sun, do not act according to the moon. However, it has been turned over recently and will be corrected after the New Year. Rest and pay attention to eating and doing it. In short, as you said, seeing this as a major event, not as a trivial matter, there is hope for correction.

In 1961, Mao Zedong conducted a comprehensive physical examination and found that cardiopulmonary function and blood pressure were much better than their peers. Like Luo Rongzhen and Ren Bishi, these comrades are not as good as Mao Zedong. On September 20, 1950, Mao Zedong wrote to Luo Rongzhen: You should have less meetings, not even meetings, only talk to a number of cadres and review documents, which is better for you, otherwise it will be difficult to last. Please consider.

On March 19, 1953, he suggested that Chen Yun wipe the body with hot water. He wrote: Comrade Chen Yun: Please read this article. Every day, use a towel to rub the hot water, first hot and then cold, cold and hot, exercise skin hair vessels and shrink and expand, each time you wipe, can be half an hour, up to an hour, wipe the whole body fever. Once or twice a day, it can be used for a year or two. It seems like you can try it. Obviously, this method of rubbing hair has always been adhered to since the youth, and it is also a good law that he has worked. So he introduced it to his comrades.

In 1959, Chen Yun was sick because of fatigue. On December 30, Mao Zedong wrote a greeting: "The letter was received. The disease has improved. I am very happy. When I am leaving, I will tell you about it, and the time will be fixed. I will be happy and ready for a long-term battle. It will be good." Mao Zedong did not believe in "medicine" in his life, and he did not believe in "filling", but the letter "exercise." His conscious exercise on the body at home was started at the Dongshan High School. Previously, in his hometown of Lushan, his father gave him a lot of labor tasks, including the hard work of the field and the glutinous rice in the squatter. From 1906 to 1909, he was a pure "farmer" for three years at home. This is an excellent exercise for him. When he was a child, he was not physically strong. He had a serious illness, but because of the field work in recent years, he laid the foundation for his health. Later, he continued to study, and at the same time he began to carry out high-frequency and high-intensity physical exercise activities while studying and storing energy, in order to assume the responsibility of the country in the future. Exercise has become a major feature of Mao Zedong's home.

At the Xiangshan Dongshan Elementary School, he began to exercise consciously. He got up early, ran outside the wall, and ran a few laps; or went to the Dongtai Mountain "Kui Xing Shou" to breathe fresh air. After returning, he washed cold water in the well. The school stipulated that it was not allowed to take a cold shower. He opposed this rule. When someone else was taking a nap, he hanged himself in the pond on the peach tree outside the fasting to wash enough, and came up from that place. This kind of exercise was comprehensively strengthened after he came to Changsha. He has a self-motivated saying: the spirit of civilization, the savage body. In the winter, he often invites Zou Yunzhen and other students to go to the riverside near the school to bathe in the river, or to get up early in the school to wash the water in order to enhance the body's cold resistance; he went to the old city gate on Sunday, sitting alone on the wall, reading and writing Wen, from the reality, develops a state of mind that can calm down, and can calmly think about the calming power; he is trying to refine the fearlessness of "the current change is not shocked", whenever the wind and rain, the thunder and lightning Ground, alone after running to the school, Miaofeng Junzi Pavilion (the abbot of the solitary pavilion, the four walls are not blocked), the high-pitched stone bench, the voice reciting, the self-consciousness, will be detached.

In winter, he never wears gloves, does not wear cotton shoes, has cracks in his hands and feet, and walks as usual. Weekly big character class, sitting on the wrist, when writing a big cockroach, often because of the force to hold the pen, quilting cracked, blood filled with paper, still calmly writing, if nothing.

He swims and can swim from the foot of Xiangjiang Monkey Stone to the head of Orange Island. He often said that swimming is the best exercise that can promote the various functions of muscles, bones and organs. Especially in the backstroke, only see the blue sky, only see the white water, any stolen goods, do not look into the line, such as to a clean world, the mind is greatly comfortable!

Once Mao Zedong traveled to the shore and was washed away by the big waves. Fortunately, the classmates rescued him. He later recalled the incident and smiled: "Sometimes out of the ocean." In Hunan's first division, there was a cool water well next to the school bathroom. In the early morning, the students were still asleep, Mao Zedong got up, took the Luobu towel to the well, and used a bucket to lift the water into a bucket and a bucket to the body, then rubbed the whole body until the skin became red, from the summer and autumn to the winter without interruption. Some students have studied but can't persist, and asked Mao Zedong's feelings. Mao Zedong said: The first few times were uncomfortable, and when you made up your mind, you got used to nature. On the one day, Luo Xueyu recorded his winter swimming with Mao Zedong: Today, he went to the head of the water and land, and the people said that the north wind was too big, the weather was too cold, and the rest did not care. The water did not feel cold, and there was no disease on the shore. Firm skin, increase blood, expand lungs, increase strength, not the most beneficial in non-sports.

He also often sunbathes. This is in the summer under the hot sun, wearing shorts standing outdoors or lying on the beach after swimming, let the sun shine in the sun without fear. Sleeping is also often done by Mao Zedong. In the back of the school, the gentleman's pavilion, Yuelu Mountain's love evening pavilion, Baihe Spring and Orange Island head, the night falls, the tourists are exhausted, Mao Zedong and the alumni are still talking about the earth, the night is deep, each place to find a place to stay, mosquitoes in the summer night The bite is covered by a newspaper.

Mao Zedong is a "swimmer." From the boyhood to the later years (about 10 to 80 years old), he has a 70-year "swimmering age"; the area of ​​the tour is wide, from the Lushan Chong, Yuelu Mountain to the border of Hunan and Jiangxi, the main rivers : Xiangjiang, Yangtze, Lancang, Pearl River, and Qiantang River; also traveled to Bohai (in Beidaihe) and Huanghai (in Qingdao). He not only regards swimming as a sport, but also regards it as a means of exercise and a carrier of pride in the struggle against difficulties, authority, and evil forces. Mao Zedong traveled all over the world, especially in the middle ages, that is, in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the commander-in-chief ran between Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong in the southeast of China, and led the Red Army of the Workers and Peasants to complete 25,000 miles. The greatest travel of a lifetime: the Long March. If there is no strong physical fitness in the youth, it is simply impossible.
