Early in the morning of October 27, 1957, **'s daughter Li Min was sitting at her desk writing her homework, after completing an assignment. Li Min took out his schoolbag again and rummaged through it. Suddenly, she touched a thick, crusty notebook. Out of curiosity, Li Min took it out and looked at it carefully. At this time, Li Min saw this slightly familiar book and found that it was the diary of his good friend Wang Guiqin.
Li Min thought that it must have been yesterday, and after the two of them separated from each other on the farm, Gui Qin forgot to take it back. So, Li Min planned to return it to his good friend when he went to class the next day. After that, Li Min casually put the notebook on the table and continued to write homework.
In the evening, ** came to the desk to correct her daughter's homework. This notebook was flipped through a few pages by the unwitting ***. The more I looked at it, the stronger the smile on my face, and I even started to draw in circles in my notebook.
What exactly is written in this notebook that makes *** so interested? How has the fate of Wang Guiqin, the owner of the notebook, changed?
The diary's owner is named Wang Guiqin, who is a senior at the Girls' High School affiliated to Beijing Normal University and Li Min. Wang Guiqin's family was a revolutionary family, his father was the head of the Beijing Municipal Supervision Commission at that time, and Wang Guiqin's mother, although she was a traditional woman with small feet, also made a lot of contributions to the revolution.
Influenced by her parents at home, Wang Guiqin's ideological consciousness is particularly high. She has been smart and clever since she was a child, and after entering Beijing Yucai Primary School, she was among the best in every exam.
Wang Guiqin relied on excellent grades, and after graduating from primary school, she was sent to the Girls' High School Affiliated to Beijing Normal University to study in middle school, and three years later, she successfully entered the high school of the school.
In the summer vacation before the start of the third year of high school, Wang Guiqin actively responded to the party's call for the vast number of intellectual young people to participate in labor and returned to her hometown in Hebei. Before leaving home, Wang Guiqin's father encouraged her that after returning to her hometown, she must go deep into the masses and help the working people do more practical things.
With her father's advice, high school student Wang Guiqin embarked on the way home. After returning to her hometown in Fuping, Wang Guiqin visited her mother and actively participated in labor. This is a life that Wang Guiqin, who grew up in the city, has never been exposed to. Here, she went to the field every day to help the farmers grow crops, and helped the illiterate farmers read the newspaper during her breaks.
Every evening, Wang Guiqin writes down her thoughts and feelings in her hometown in her notes. She spent about half a month in her rural hometown and wrote 14 diaries, with as many as 10,000 words. In Wang Guiqin's diary, we can see that she really devoted herself to the labor of the countryside, and did not retreat because of the hard and tiring work of the farm.
She also became a "temporary member" of the local cooperative, attending the club meeting, making shoes for her classmates, and in contact with local farmers, Wang Guiqin gained a deeper understanding of rural life. Similarly, the local people in Fuping are even more appreciative of this "foreign student" who came back from the big city.
Regarding the farmer's uncle's evaluation of herself, she wrote in Wang Guiqin's diary: "I didn't become a foreign student, a nerd, or our people." ”At the end of the diary, Wang Guiqin also expressed her reluctance to live in the countryside, and wrote down a word about studying hard and serving the country Xi.
At that time, Wang Guiqin would not have thought that one day, her diary would reach ***'s hands by mistake. And *** praised her diary. So how did Wang Guiqin's notebook come to Li Min's hands?
Li Min, like Wang Guiqin, is a sophomore at a girls' high school. She and Wang Guiqin have a good relationship and often play together. Although Li Min is the daughter of ***, she has no arrogant temperament at all, and she is well-educated in dealing with others.
After the founding of New China, Li Min, who was still called Mao Jiaojiao at that time, followed her aunt He Ziyi to return to China from the Soviet Union and came to live by ***. When he was in the Soviet Union, Li Min had already gone to elementary school, but the content of Soviet Xi was very different from that in China. So, ** asked Li Min to make up for her XiChinese at home, and at the same time helped Li Min find a school suitable for her Xi.
Later, Li Min transferred to Bayi Primary School. In 1952, after graduating from elementary school, Li Min also came to the Girls' High School Affiliated to Beijing Normal University to study Xi. Here it knows Wang Guiqin, the owner of this notebook.
It was October 26th, and it was a Saturday. There were no classes in the school, and Li Min's fifth class organized the students to go to the Luodaozhuang Agricultural Cooperative in the suburbs of Beijing to participate in labor.
Since this agricultural community is not close to the school, and there is no direct bus between the two places. So the students unanimously decided to go on foot. At that time, in order to make it easier to go to and from school, Li Min rode a bicycle. Li Min considered that after the event, it would be too wasteful to run back to school to ride a bicycle, so he pushed his bicycle all the way to the agricultural club with his classmates.
Li Min chatted with Wang Guiqin while walking, Wang Guiqin saw that the location of the event was in the agricultural society, as early as the time of departure, she brought her notebook, wanting to record the feelings of this labor.
After arriving at the farm, Li Min and others were arranged to go to the cabbage field to bundle the cabbage, and the students worked together, and after a while, the whole farm was filled with the laughter of the students. At this time, the sky was not beautiful, and it was raining lightly.
Wang Guiqin was worried that her notebook would get wet, so she said hello to Li Min and temporarily put her notebook in Li Min's schoolbag. After working on the farm, it was already night, and the classmates went home in twos and threes, Li Min and Wang Guiqin were not on the way, and they went home separately after saying goodbye. Obviously, both of them forgot about the notebook episode.
After Li Min got home, he put down his schoolbag and went to rest. Early the next morning, she found her friend's notebook in the mezzanine of her school bag.
So, this notebook fell into the hands of *** by mistake, ** looked at this notebook and nodded appreciatively. When Li Min came back from outside, ** asked her about the owner of this notebook, and after learning that it was her daughter's classmate, ** said to Li Min:"Jiaojiao, your friend's diary is very well written, put it here with your father first, and then return it to your friend after your father reads it. ”
Li Min nodded vigorously, and early the next morning, Li Min, who was about to go to school, found this notebook on the table. She opened it curiously and found that many of the contents in it had been marked by her father. Li Min knew that his father must have carefully read the contents of Wang Guiqin's diary.
Li Min didn't look at it carefully, so he took the notebook and rushed to the school in a hurry. After seeing Wang Guiqin, Li Min mysteriously pulled her to a corner, took out the notebook from her schoolbag and handed it to Wang Guiqin's hand"Guiqin, my father read the diary you wrote, he praised you for writing very emotionally, and wrote a lot of notes on it. ”
Wang Guiqin couldn't believe Li Min's words, ** read the diary she wrote, and praised herself. Wang Guiqin opened the notebook excitedly. Sure enough, I found that what Li Min said was true, and the annotations of *** can be seen in many places in the diary.
On the first page of the diary, ** wrote a few large words on it: "This article can be published in newspapers and magazines." ”
Wang Guiqin continued to flip back a few pages, and found that *** was drawn in a big circle under the farmer's uncle's evaluation of himself, such as "still our own people" and "Xi study hard". Turned all the way to the last page of the diary, wrote a sentence in the blank space, and Wang Guiqin couldn't understand the word ***, so Li Min helped her read it, which read: Returning to her hometown once a year during the summer vacation is extremely beneficial. This article is very well written. Half a month is not enough, it is better to stay for a month. ”
And next to this sentence, there is also a sentence of advice: "The original article is published in the newspaper." ”
After receiving so many surprises, Wang Guiqin's mind couldn't turn for a long time. Li Min looked at her happy appearance and said, "Guiqin, look, Dad also circled the typos for you." ”
Wang Guiqin took a closer look, and sure enough, this was the case. **With such a busy job and still having time to correct typos for herself, Wang Guiqin didn't know what to say for a while. Li Min said: "Dad is like this, he is very serious about good articles." ”
Immediately afterwards, Wang Guiqin was about to take over her notebook from Li Min's hand, but a note fell out of it. ** On it it reads: "Li Ne read it carefully. Retire Li Min, Li Min also has to watch it twice. ”
After that, Wang Guiqin handed the notebook to Li Min. And Li Min gave the note written by *** to Wang Guiqin as a souvenir. After Li Min returned home, she carefully handed the notes to her sister Li Ne and asked her to read them a few times. After her sister finished reading it, Li Minyou read it carefully several times before returning it to Wang Guiqin.
It didn't take long for Wang Guiqin to carefully copy this diary and send it to "Chinese Youth" with a letter of explanation. In 1958, in the fourth issue of "Chinese Youth", this diary, which had been reviewed by ***, was published on the first page.
Since then, Wang Guiqin has become famous, but she is not complacent, and she was admitted to the University of Science and Technology of China by her own efforts. Later, at Li Min's wedding, ** had a conversation with Wang Guiqin, Wang Guifang and other three people who came to attend the wedding.
The approachable attitude and kind words made Wang Guiqin unforgettable for a long time.
A diary changed Wang Guiqin's fate and also influenced the vast number of young students in China. ** The earnest teachings for young people are condensed in those short criticisms.
As the young generation, we should always keep in mind the entrustment of the first generation and contribute to the realization of the dream of China's great rejuvenation.
