打麻将曾经是毛泽东所喜爱的一项娱乐活动。工作之余,他常常以打麻将来消遣。在延安时期,他经常和叶剑英、江青及他的政治秘书师哲等人一起打麻将。别人打麻将聚精会神,专心致志。毛泽东则不然,他从不把任何娱乐性活动视为单纯的休息。他经常一边打牌,一边不停地吸烟,同时在脑海里思考着党、国家和军队的大事。一旦他的问题思考成熟,即使是活动刚刚开始或大家玩兴正浓,他也会立即起身,匆匆离席而去。倘若问题没有思考出结果,他就会在牌桌上一直“泡”下去。 Mahjong was once Mao’s favorite entertainment. In his spare time, he often pastime to play mahjong. During the Yan’an period, he often played mahjong with Ye Jianying, Jiang Qing and his political secretary Shi Zhe. Mahjong others to concentrate, concentrate on. Mao Zedong is not, he never regarded any recreational activities as a simple rest. He often plays cards while smoking constantly, thinking in the minds of the party, the state and the military. Once his questions are ripe, he will immediately get up and leave in a hurry, even if the activity has just started or everyone is having fun. If the question does not think about the result, he will always “bubble” down the table.
