When I first saw Zhao Puchu, I was surprised: "You are so young, why are you called 'Zhao Pulao'."
Lao Qin recently recalled an interesting story between ** and social activist Zhao Puchu, telling the story of **After tasting French canned chicken in 1955, he hurriedly searched for ***.
Zhao Puchu, a native of Taihu, Anhui Province, was born in 1907 and was studious since childhood, diligent in studying literature, history and philosophy Xi. However, his academic pinnacle was achieved through his in-depth exploration of the philosophical teachings of various Buddhist sects.
In Lao Qin's earlier article "Is Master Hai Lantern **?".Authoritative institutions have given evaluations, and in all fairness, he deserves respect", mentioning the "Shaolin martial arts style" set off by Master Hai Deng's visit to the United States in 1985, as well as Zhao Puchu's objective evaluation of his behavior, showing Zhao Puchu's lofty status in the Buddhist academic community.
In the early 30s of the 20th century, Zhao Puchu set foot in the field of Buddhism, and served as the secretary and chief secretary of the Buddhist Association of China, devoting himself to Buddhism and social relief. The fate with ** began in 1938, when he participated in the Shanghai Charity Joint Disaster Relief Association, and had the first contact with **, and jointly mobilized young adults to join the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army.
At the beginning of 1949, with the liberation of Shanghai, ** warmly invited Zhao Puchu to serve as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the East China Military and Political Commission, and the exchanges between the two were further deepened and they became confidants in the true sense.
Zhao Puchu and *** also became close friends
The first meeting was at the First Plenary Session of the Chinese Political Consultative Conference in September 1949. ** Surprised by Zhao Puchu's nickname "Zhao Pulao", Zhao Puchu explained in a humorous way that this nickname was chosen by someone else.
In fact, Zhao Puchu, known as "Zhao Pulao", originated in 1938, when he was the director of the refugee unit of the "Charity Federation" in Shanghai, he founded the anti-Japanese salvation organization "Yiyou Society", and worked with a group of social elite colleagues, hence the nickname.
Zhao Puchu deeply felt his bearing and demeanor when he came into contact with ***, especially on the issue of retaining Wu Peifu's plaque after the founding of New China, the two agreed on the same opinion, showing their common respect for history.
With the establishment of the Buddhist Association of China, Zhao Puchu has served as secretary-general, vice president, president and other positions, and often discusses national affairs with the West Flower Hall.
In order to promote the normalization of Sino-Japanese relations, Zhao Puchu was repeatedly instructed to enhance the friendship between the two peoples through Buddhist exchange channels, demonstrating Zhao Puchu's important role in promoting international relations.
