Features: When Mao Zedong visited the Soviet Union, he tried to further communicate his thoughts with Stalin. Stalin also repeatedly tried to guess Mao Zedong's intentions, but their efforts never yielded results. When Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping went to the Soviet Union to handle the Hungarian event, they were clear and resolute in their stance. Liu Shaoqi's speech was particularly outstanding. Wang Jiaxiang gave a thumbs-up and said, "Great! Really great!" When Zhou Enlai visited the Soviet Union for a banquet, Khrushchev and others repeatedly tried to get him to drink. Eventually, he lost his composure due to excessive drinking, feeling dizzy and vomiting. Afterwards, he took the initiative to admit his mistake to Mao Zedong. Mao Zedong said that Stalin had asked Peng Dehuai multiple times about an important matter on the Korean battlefield, but Peng Dehuai remained silent and never spoke a word, no matter how much Stalin pressed. Later, Shi Zhe thought more and more about how Peng Dehuai was brilliant: incredibly perceptive! Exceptionally moral!
