胡志明主席晚年身体不好。应越南劳动党中央政治局要求,中国经常派医生去河内给他治病。为了保密,在联系中称胡志明主席为“丁老”。中央十分重视,不仅选派第一流医生,而且每次在医疗组出发前,周总理在百忙中总要接见他们,再三叮嘱。 In his later years, Chairman Ho Chi Minh was in poor health. At the request of the Viet Nam Workers Party Central Political Bureau, China often sends doctors to Hanoi to give him medical treatment. For confidentiality, Chairman Ho Chi Minh said in the contact that “Ding Lao.” The Central Government attaches great importance to not only selecting first-rate doctors, but each time before leaving the medical team, Premier Zhou has to meet with them in his busy schedule and repeatedly tell them again.
