“我们要进京赶考,要考个好成绩,决不能当李自成。”1949年3月,由西柏坡挺进北平前夕,毛泽东说的这句严肃的玩笑话,在纪录片和回忆录中被反反复复提及。对于李自成这位明末农民起义领袖,毛泽东有着非常浓厚的兴趣和特殊情结。从苏区到延安再到北京,毛泽东在不同场合多次拿李自成说事儿,他钦佩其革命精神,惋惜其功败垂成,也担忧自己领导的政党重蹈覆辙。 "In March 1949, from the eve of Xibaipo’s march into Peiping, Mao Zedong’s solemn jest that he had been said in documentaries and memoirs was reversed Repeatedly mentioned. For Li Zicheng, the late peasant uprising leader in the late Ming, Mao Zedong has a very strong interest and special complex. From the Soviet area to Yan’an and then to Beijing, Mao Tse-tung said on many occasions that Li Zicheng said things on different occasions. He admired his revolutionary spirit and regretted that his party had succumbed to defeats and succumbs and feared that the party under his leadership would repeat the same mistake.
