In 1963, **urgently summoned Luo Dongjin to return to Beijing, **saw his son and asked: Why did you come back?
Luo Dongjin is the son of the founding marshal of my country.
He was born in 1939 during the Sino-Japanese War. Due to the frequent battles and difficult environment, Luo Dongjin could not carry it with him, so he was sent to his hometown's home for foster care.
At the home of the villagers, Luo Dongjin was carefully taken care of. The villagers knew that he was the child of a revolutionary cadre and loved him very much. It wasn't until he was 5 years old that Luo Dongjin was picked up by his father ***.
After returning to his father's side, Luo Dongjin was not less blamed.
Once, the troops won a battle, and Luo Dongjin was elated. However, as a young man, he did not understand the meaning of victory, except that after each victory, the troops were able to bring back many Japanese items that they had never seen before.
One of the trophies was a Japanese soldier's gas mask, which aroused Luo Dongjin's great curiosity. He ran through the streets wearing a mask and teased children his age when he met them, which scared many of his fellow villagers into tears.
**After learning of this, he quickly took Luo Dongjin home and seriously criticized him. He reminded Luo Dongjin that when he was a child, his fellow villagers raised him and treated him like his own son. However, Luo Dongjin disrespects his fellow villagers and even bullies other children, which is really excessive.
His father's stern appearance and firm tone made Luo Dongjin cry on the spot, and since then, he no longer dares to bully other children easily.
This little episode was deeply engraved in Luo Dongjin's heart.
With the baptism of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, Luo Dongjin gradually grew. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the ** family moved to Beijing.
After entering Beijing, ** called all the children and issued three important instructions:
First of all, the children of revolutionary cadres should not be divorced from the masses;
Second, do not create a sense of superiority;
Finally, it is necessary to unite closely with the children of the workers and peasants;
In addition, ** also instructed Luo Dongjin and other children to help those classmates with difficult families when they go to school, socialize more with them, and give them care.
The teachings of his father *** were deeply imprinted in Luo Dongjin's heart.
As he went to school, Luo Dongjin's school was far away from home, so every holiday was on Saturdays, and he usually boarded at school, and the means of transportation were limited to buses, and his father explicitly ordered that he was not allowed to use the family car.
Once after school, due to the delay of things, Luo Dong was late, so he decided to take his father's car home, and unfortunately was hit by his father.
**After seeing it, he severely criticized his son:
That's not right!"
Later, Luo Dongjin was late from school and missed the bus, so he took the initiative to walk home and took more than an hour to arrive.
After learning about this, ** immediately praised his son:
It's good to do that. "
Usually silent when educating children, but always on the talk. He teaches his children by doing what they do, so that they can learn to improve themselves through exercise.
During the summer vacation of one year, Luo Dongjin traveled with his father on a business trip, and also experienced the life of outsiders by the way. When they arrived at the local mountain, Luo Dongjin noticed that many children his age were picking up branches, apparently to prepare firewood for the family.
**Teach Luo Dongjin immediately:
We should love labor as much as they do. "
In the following days, during their local inspections, Luo Dongjin, who got up early every day, would take the initiative to go to the mountains and work with the children to pick up tree branches.
In 1956, due to health reasons, ** resigned from the post of General Minister. Although during the period of recuperation, he still insisted on studying and exercising, personally visiting Guangdong, Fujian and other places to gain an in-depth understanding of the people's lives and listen to their voices.
Luo Dongjin was deeply impressed by his father's fighting spirit and revolutionary ideas. He saw his father's deep affection for the party and the people, and always put them first and his body last. This spirit is fully expressed in the attitude towards brothers and fellow villagers.
One spring, **'s brother came to Beijing to visit him, but *** seemed indifferent to him and talked very little. Soon after, an old fellow villager also came to visit, but *** was enthusiastic about him, not only personally entertained the elderly, but also arranged for the secretary to accompany the old man to visit Beijing's scenic spots.
Luo Dongjin was very confused and incomprehensible about his father's behavior. After all, the brothers are relatives, and the old man is just a fellow villager, why is there such a big difference in the attitude of the father towards them?** Explain that these fellow villagers are class brothers, closer than relatives, and have helped in difficult times. The brothers, on the other hand, avoided them during the revolutionary period, but now they want to seek benefits through family affection.
This explanation gave Luo Dongjin a deeper understanding of his father's behavior.
In 1959, Luo Dongjin was admitted to the Military Engineering Academy with his personal efforts, which he was gratified for, and at the same time encouraged his son to study hard in school, receive a rigorous education, make continuous progress politically, and contribute to society in the future. Luo Dongjin deeply remembered his father's teachings.
During his time at school, ** often wrote letters to his son to encourage him to study hard. In one semester, Luo Dongjin's electrician exam results were not good, and he asked with concern whether he had encountered problems, emphasizing that he should solve them in a timely manner and not delay and give up. With his father's encouragement and teaching, Luo Dongjin achieved excellent results in every course.
On December 1, 1963, on a cold morning, Luo Dongjin was studying in class. Suddenly, the school sent someone to find Luo Dongjin and informed him to send a hospital to urgently recall him to Beijing. Luo Dongjin had already guessed in his heart that his father's physical condition had been poor. He hurriedly set off for Beijing and went straight to the hospital, where he entered the ward to find his father in a coma.
Luo Dongjin sat on the edge of the bed, quietly waiting for his father to wake up. After a while, ** finally woke up, and when he saw his son's appearance, he asked angrily:
Why don't you take a vacation, you should study with peace of mind, instead of taking leave to come back to see me. My illness was taken care of by a doctor and **. ”
Luo Dongjin cried and explained to his father that the school had notified him to come back, and the school also allowed him to ask for leave. ** sighed, still emphasized:
In the east, you are the son of a revolutionary cadre, and you should have stricter requirements for yourself. ”
However, the condition of ** is irreparable!
On December 16, 1963, ** died of illness, his heart stopped beating, and New China lost an outstanding leader.
Although my father has passed away, the teachings and guidance he left behind will live on forever. Luo Dongjin and the other siblings will never live up to their father's expectations.
I believe that this is an inevitable ......
