Inviting Rural Farmers - Teng Guoquan's Touching Story In Mayang County, Huaihua City, Hunan Province, there is a rural farmer Teng Guoquan, who proudly told the villagers that he personally invited him to dinner and gave him ten yuan of Guangyang travel expenses. However, the villagers were skeptical. However, Teng Guoquan was not without evidence, he immediately took out the invitation letter written by *** himself that year (took a photo with *** and others). Teng Guoquan is a member of the Miao ethnic group who lives in Mayang, Xiangxi, where Miao and Han Chinese live together. His village consists of just a dozen families, and they make a living by farming and selling firewood. Teng Guoquan is an honest farmer and a skilled craftsman who is good at farming. He was industrious and steadfast, raising three daughters and a son, the eldest of whom was named Teng Daiyuan. That's right, it's Teng Daiyuan who participated in the Pingjiang Uprising and fought side by side with ***. In 1923, 19-year-old Teng Daiyuan was admitted to the Hunan Provincial Second Normal School, and later embarked on the journey of revolution, leaving home and never returning. He is the only son in the family, and Teng Guoquan's thoughts about his son are surging like a tide, but he has no way to know his whereabouts. After the defeat of the Great Revolution, there was news of Teng Daiyuan's heroic death.
Teng Guoquan and his wife are like knives, and they will burn paper money every festival. It was not until 1938 that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated, and a villager who had served as a company commander in the Kuomintang army returned to the village and brought the news that Teng Daiyuan was in Yan'an. After learning of this, Teng Guoquan was overjoyed and decided to go to Yan'an to visit his son with excitement. However, Mayang is located between Xuefeng Mountain and Wuling Mountain, making it extremely inconvenient to travel. Even Su Yu, a general after the founding of the People's Republic of China, once cherished the feelings of his hometown, but because of the steepness of Xuefeng Mountain and the lack of security, he had to give up with tears. However, Teng Guoquan was not deterred by the difficulties, and not only was he determined to cross the mountains, but he also sold his family's two acres of land to raise the cost of the journey. After a long journey of more than a month and a journey of more than 2,000 kilometers, with the assistance of the Eighth Route Army Office in Xi'an, Wuhan, he finally came to Yan'an, the holy land of revolution, and reunited with Teng Daiyuan, who had been away from home for 15 years. Teng Daiyuan used his allowance to buy a hen and stew chicken soup with his own hands to entertain his father. Looking at his son back then, who has grown into a senior general of the Eighth Route Army, Teng Guoquan feels extremely gratified, his son is still the same, and he always dedicates the best things to his parents. At that time, Teng Daiyuan served as the chief of staff of the Military Commission and was an important military staff officer.
** Knowing that Teng Daiyuan's father, Teng Guoquan, came to Yan'an across the ocean, he was deeply moved and personally sent a letter to invite the old man to have dinner together. **Entrusted*** to invite Teng Guoquan to dinner on his behalf, but due to the tension of the anti-Japanese front, ** was busy with work and had no time to attend the appointment in person. At the dinner, **conveyed ***'s greetings to Teng Guoquan, and cordially inquired about the living conditions of the old man, which made Teng Guoquan feel warm. Teng Guoquan deeply felt the difference between the senior leadership of the Communist Party and the Kuomintang, because his son was able to follow *** to engage in the revolutionary cause, which made Teng Guoquan feel very relieved and relieved. He was convinced that he had made the right choice. He has always cherished ***'s invitation, and although he didn't accept ***'s invitation in person, he felt deeply warm. Although *** failed to entertain him in person, but entrusted others to do it for him, this also made him feel ***'s kind care. Teng Guoquan returned to his hometown after staying in Yan'an for more than ten days, because he did not want to disturb his son Teng Daiyuan's work. At the time of parting, ** specially approved ten pieces of Guangyang to Teng Guoquan as a coil, and asked the Minister of Logistics Ye Jizhuang to give Teng Guoquan a fox fur coat on his behalf to protect against the wind and rain. **'s care makes Teng Guoquan remember it for life.
As a rural farmer, he feels very honored to be able to bathe in the warm care of ***. The son Teng Daiyuan gave all the allowances to his father, and told his father to harvest the crops and help the villagers around him if there was any surplus grain. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Teng Daiyuan became the Minister of Railways and had a prominent position, but he did not take care of his family, and his father Teng Guoquan was still farming in his hometown. Teng Guoquan did not go to Beijing to make trouble for his son, because he knew that his son was a good student and served the people. He has kept the kindness of *** in his heart all his life.
