In 1946, on the eve of the outbreak of the Liberation War, **, who had been engaged in the revolution for more than 20 years, ushered in the birth of his own child.
When the child was born, the family was very happy.
On this day, **'s wife Xue Ming came to Yan'an's field hospital to visit a friend, and it happened that **'s old partner Guan Xiangying was also recuperating here, so Xue Ming told him about this happy event, and asked Guan Xiangying to help the child choose a name.
At that time, Guan Xiangying was already seriously ill and very weak, but after hearing the good news, he still laughed heartily and was happy for his old comrades-in-arms from the bottom of his heart.
*Couple. After receiving Xue Ming's request, Guan Xiangying thought for a moment, and then said:"** children should be scholars, and we both especially appreciate Yue Fei. Yue Fei's word Pengju is not good for learning to fly, and it is not good to call it learning. The name has a name. Take Yue Fei's name and character one word each, I think it's called Pengfei. ”
After learning that the old comrade-in-arms confirmed the name for the child, ** was also very happy, so he borrowed Guan Xiangying's proposal and named the child "He Pengfei".
Soon after, Guan Xiangying died of illness, and the ** couple were grief-stricken and took He Pengfei to attend Guan Xiangying's memorial service.
Since then, He Pengfei's name has also taken on a deeper meaning.
Guan Xiangying. Like many children of the founding leaders, He Pengfei's childhood did not enjoy any glory and wealth, but tasted all the bitterness and bitterness.
Not long after he was born, the war of liberation broke out in full force.
* He was urgently transferred to the Great Northwest Region, and was ordered to assist in organizing and commanding the troops in the Northwest Battlefield, and presided over the construction of the rear base area, and was responsible for the financial and economic work of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningbo and Jinsui.
Xue Ming, on the other hand, is responsible for the work of the Organization Department and the Party School.
Therefore, due to the busy work of his parents, He Pengfei, who was still in infancy, could only grow up under the care of the aunts in the nursery school.
*Couple. Although he was rarely able to experience the love of his parents in the same year, he also developed He Pengfei's tenacious character and indomitable quality.
After reaching the age of going to school, He Pengfei never showed weakness in front of others easily, and never cried when he encountered any difficulties.
Once, due to playfulness, while playing hide and seek with a few children, He Pengfei accidentally slipped down the hillside and broke his right leg.
The sharp pain made him grin and scream, but even so, he did not wait for others to come to his aid, but picked up a wooden stick on the ground and limped back home.
In 1951, He Pengfei entered the Chongqing People's Primary School, where he received a good basic education.
*Couple with son He Pengfei.
In 1955, at the all-army award ceremony, ** was awarded the rank of marshal and became one of the "top ten marshals" admired by thousands of people.
However, at that time, no one in the school knew that He Pengfei was the son of the marshal. He strictly abides by the teachings given to him by his father, resolutely does not engage in speciality, and never uses his family background to show off to other friends.
Usually in school, the only thing He Pengfei does is to absorb knowledge diligently and seriously.
In 1957, with excellent results, He Pengfei was successfully admitted to the national key school, Beijing No. 4 Middle School, and became a middle school student.
And then his goal is to start moving towards the threshold of the university.
*Father and son. After going to middle school, with the increase in his studies, the accompanying pressure made He Pengfei work harder.
Although He Pengfei's grades were very good when he was in elementary school, he came to Beijing, where outstanding students from all over the country gathered, so when he just entered the class, He Pengfei's grades could only be in the middle and lower stages.
As the son of a marshal, how can he be willing to be left behind?
In order to catch up and catch up with and surpass the students around him, He Pengfei also applied for accommodation from the school, and lived in the dormitory with some other students who were far away from home, so that he could continue to stay in the classroom after school and resume Xi.
During that time, students could often see that at night, the lights in the classroom were still on, and He Pengfei was alone in the classroom tossing and turning around doing Xi problems.
* Marshal's family.
No one would have thought that such a hard-working child would be the son of a marshal.
With this effort, in the second semester of the second year of junior high school, He Pengfei's grades finally entered the top five in the class.
In recognition of his efforts, the teacher also specially enrolled him in the Communist Youth League, which made him an honorable Communist Youth League member without the help of his family.
As we all know, in addition to being a soldier who can fight well, the marshal is also very fond of sports in his daily life.
For example, the origin of the "Bayi Basketball Team" is the first basketball team in New China "Combat Basketball Team" established by Marshal ** in Yan'an.
* With daughters. Therefore, in his daily Xi life, He Pengfei also inherited his father's hobby, often exercised and participated in some sports.
During his time in school, he also helped his class win medals in long-distance running, shot put and other events in school sports meetings many times.
Excellent character and learning, excellent athletic quality, and gradually made He Pengfei a popular figure in the school.
Once, when playing basketball with He Pengfei, the classmates jokingly said:"I heard that the ** marshal also plays basketball very well, and he has the same surname as Pengfei, you two won't have any kinship, right?”
He Pengfei laughed, then shook his head and said:"Don't guess, it's more important to Xi study hard than to fantasize about relationships. ”
*From the web.
This ingenious answer not only shows He Pengfei's strict family education, but also reflects his extremely high emotional intelligence.
However, although his father's teaching was very strict, He Pengfei did not think of seeking his father's help during his Xi career.
When he was admitted to the university in the third year of high school, He Pengfei faced the university of his choice, and he once had the courage to hope that his father could "help".
So, in the face of his son's request and his future, how did the marshal do it?
* With children. For ** children like He Pengfei, most people chose to follow in the footsteps of their parents, apply for military schools, and then devote themselves to the construction of the army.
Originally, Marshal ** was looking forward to it as well, but after reaching high school, He Pengfei had greater expectations in his heart.
Seeing that he has worked the road of learning Xi for so many years, He Pengfei does not want to live up to himself.
When launching a sprint to the university, He Pengfei also chose a very bold path, that is, to apply for a top school - Tsinghua University.
Tsinghua University and Peking University are known as the two best universities in China, and tens of thousands of outstanding students flock to them every year
Tsinghua University. **Originally, I wanted to persuade my son to change to an easier path, even if he didn't take the military academy, he could change to another key university.
But looking at He Pengfei's firm eyes, the ** marshal gave up this idea and expressed his support for it instead.
After establishing his goal, He Pengfei also knew how difficult it was to achieve this goal, so he worked harder than before.
During the three years of high school, He Pengfei hardly gave himself a day off, and devoted himself to the task of absorbing knowledge and Xi day and night.
At that time, because the students in school still had to go out to work, during the day, He Pengfei was engaged in production work, while reading with textbooks, and at night he lit a kerosene lamp to "fight at night".
*A. Such hardship, even the war-torn ** couple are a little distressed, and often advise them to take a break once in a while and not to get tired.
However, despite such efforts, it is still difficult to break through the door of Tsinghua University.
When the college entrance examination results were released, He Pengfei passed by Tsinghua University with a score of 5 points.
After learning the news, He Pengfei, who had barely cried since going to school, hid in the dormitory alone and cried, his heart full of unwillingness and grievances.
In the face of such a blow, he also had the idea of letting himself enter Tsinghua through his father's relationship.
So, that night, He Pengfei had the courage to tell his father the idea in his heart.
*A. Due to work reasons, since He Pengfei was born, the marshal has rarely gotten along with his son, and now he sees his sensible and strong son making such a request to himself, and the marshal is also in distress.
According to his temper in the past, he would definitely reprimand He Pengfei severely, but seeing his son's hard work along the way, now the ** marshal is a little unbearable.
After a while, the ** marshal sighed deeply and said:"I'll help you go to the school and ask. ”
This answer made He Pengfei's heart happy. "Could it be that my father agreed to his request?Did you go to Tsinghua to help me intercede?”
However, this idea of He Pengfei did not come to fruition.
He Pengfei. It turned out that the ** marshal went to his high school to ask about repeating, hoping to give his son another chance to fight for another year.
After returning home, facing He Pengfei's disappointed face, the marshal said deeply:"I've told you since I was a child, don't think that you can get special treatment if you are the son of a marshal, you have always understood this truth, how can you not understand it now?In fact, you just can't face failures and blows. It doesn't matter if you encounter setbacks, if you give yourself a chance, as long as you persevere forever, you will definitely succeed. ”
Facing his father's earnest teachings, He Pengfei cried bitterly again.
It's just that this time he didn't feel aggrieved and sad, but his heart was full of emotion and understanding of his father.
*Marshal. In the end, after another year of hard work, He Pengfei was successfully admitted to the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Tsinghua University, without relying on his father's relationship, but relying on his own strength to be admitted to this top school that students in the country dream of.
After graduating from university, He Pengfei, who mastered the top technology, went deep into the front-line factory and engaged in labor work.
He personally devoted himself to the industrialization of the country, and worked hard and sweat with many workers.
In those years, He Pengfei conscientiously studied Xi foreign trade business, tracked and understood the level and development of international machinery manufacturing, strictly controlled the export of machinery, resolutely safeguarded the national interests, and performed his job responsibilities excellently.
He Pengfei. In 1977, the army was reorganized, and in order to fulfill his father's will, He Pengfei went to the barracks alone and devoted himself to the development of the mechanization and modernization of the army.
