At the age of 100, the Standing Committee of the Central Advisory Committee died, unable to repay his grandmother's kindness, and hated him for life.
On July 31, 2015, Zhang Jinfu, a prominent figure in the technology and financial circles, a former senior member of the Communist Party of China's ** Advisory Committee, died of illness in Beijing at the age of 101.
His death caused all the members of the Central Advisory Committee established at the 12th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1982 to withdraw from the stage of history. As a product of a special historical stage, the Central Advisory Committee aims to solve the problem of the change of leadership, and its mission is not long-lasting, only for ten years.
There is a view that being able to become a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Advisory Committee is undoubtedly a key role in the party. Zhang Jinfu devoted his life to the revolution and construction of New China, and his achievements are obvious.
However, at the end of his life, there was an unfulfilled wish hidden deep in his heart - that is, he failed to repay his grandmother's nurturing kindness. What challenges has Zhang Jinfu experienced in his life?
Why did he miss the opportunity to express his gratitude to his grandmother?
In 1914, on the edge of a field in Feidong, Anhui Province, a child was born, who was later Zhang Jinfu. Because his zodiac sign is a tiger, the elders in the family affectionately call him "Tiger Boy".
Not only is the family hard-working, but the women in the family also master the craft of weaving, hoping to use this ancient technology to add a small income to the family's economy. The Zhang family's grandmother was praised locally for her benevolent personality and superb storytelling skills.
Every night, the whole family gathers in the hall of the old house and circles around the spinning wheel. Grandmother sat next to her, telling old stories. Zhang Jinfu always likes to huddle around his grandmother, listen to those stories, and don't want to leave even if it's late.
As an adult, Zhang Jinfu still deeply misses that childhood time: a faint vegetable oil lamp flickered dimly in the dim light, and the sound of the spinning wheel became the main theme of those nights.
During the process of the grandmother's spinning, the soft cotton wool gradually became compact and was spun into a thick ball of thread. At the same time, the story from my grandmother's mouth was also wafting into the air with the sound of the spinning wheel.
In the affectionate call of "Tiger Boy", Zhang Jinfu is always unconsciously indulged in dreams, and those moments are always relaxed and satisfying for him. Every time my grandfather came back from work, he would always bring him some strange little things, and those days spent with his grandmother, Zhang Jinfu was carefree and full of laughter.
When his grandmother was busy with farm work, he always liked to follow her and help with simple tasks. Although his grandmother did not ask for it, Zhang Jinfu's inner maturity made him reluctant to see his grandmother's hard work, and he always hoped to be able to help her share some of it.
At the end of the day's work, he happily ran to the fields, catching fluttering butterflies and playing with insects in the grass, these small pleasures were the greatest joy of his childhood.
When he was six years old, an accident took his grandfather, and although he doesn't remember much about his grandfather, he deeply remembers his grandmother's tearful grief. Since then, he and his grandmother have been the only ones left in the family.
Although her parents occasionally come back to visit, in Zhang Jinfu's heart, her grandmother is irreplaceable, and her position cannot be replaced by her mother.
Second, the war years are fleeting, and Zhang Jinfu ushered in the first period of study. His grandmother and father expected him to receive a quality education – in those turbulent times, knowledge was seen as a valuable asset that could provide a guarantee for the future.
In order to achieve this goal, the family sent him to a private school for further study at all costs. Zhang Jinfu is extremely intelligent, and he has not disappointed his family's expectations, always at the top of his peers, and his academic progress is so rapid that even his teachers praise him, thinking that his potential is endless.
Although life is beautiful, there will always be a day of change.
In 1924, the family was in the middle of the road and the property was exhausted. In order to make ends meet, the family decided to move to Jiangpu County, Jiangsu Province, in search of more arable land to make ends meet. The elderly grandmother was not suitable for long journeys, which meant that Zhang Jinfu had to say goodbye to his most beloved grandmother.
When parting, his grandmother's eyes were full of tears, and Zhang Jinfu was also emotional and unwilling to leave, but he also knew the cruelty of life. In 1930, Tao Xingzhi's inspiration to Zhang Jinfu of Nanjing Xiaozhuang Normal made Zhang Jinfu firm in his determination to join the revolution.
By 1937, the war was raging, and Shanghai became the front line of the Anti-Japanese War. The Shanghai Field Service Regiment led by Zhang Jinfu went to the front line and preached its determination to resolutely resist foreign aggression.
In those difficult days, he experienced first-hand the suffering of people in the midst of war: the destruction of homes and the displacement of people, and these scenes are deeply etched in his heart. After countless battles, Zhang Jinfu discovered a painful problem: despite the high morale of the anti-war troops, they often suffered setbacks because they were unfamiliar with the terrain.
There were soldiers who strayed into the enemy camp in the dark of night, and there were those who made mistakes in judgment at critical moments and worsened the situation of the battle. He pondered: How can we truly integrate the people and the army and form an invincible force together?
Zhang Jinfu firmly believes that as long as the people realize that their future is closely related to the country, they will unswervingly support the military.
According to this line of thinking, Zhang Jinfu put forward his views and proposals to the party organization, hoping to inspire more people to join the war of resistance through more in-depth propaganda and education, guide the direction of the army, provide materials and even become a field guide.
His proposal resonated widely. History has also confirmed the correctness of Zhang Jinfu's foresight and decision-making. He was not only an outstanding war propagandist, but also a bridge between the people and the military.
Zhang Jinfu followed Mr. Tao Xingzhi for four years and learned a lot of the true meaning of being a person from him. At that time, the name "Shanhai Engineering Group", which implied the solidity of Baoshan and the vastness of Shanghai, contained the power to inspire people.
The regiment set up three handicraft workshops focusing on crafts such as carpentry, rattan and hosiery making.
Zhang Jinfu, who is both a teacher and an organizer, has a day full of Xi and labor. In the morning, he taught the members scientific, cultural and political knowledge, and in the afternoon he devoted himself to industrial and agricultural activities.
They study and Xi work at the same time, and they can get a subsidy of ** yuan every month, and although their lives are busy, they are full of fulfillment. During the Sino-Japanese War,"Shanhai Engineering Group"It has made a great contribution to the education of farmers, women and children.
They used songs that were close to the people and easy to understand, inspired people to think about the practical issues in the songs, and encouraged them to actively participate in the ranks of resisting Japan and saving the country.
In response to the depreciation of vegetable prices caused by the war among vegetable farmers in the Dachang area, they wrote songs to popularize them and guide people to realize that only victory in the war can bring about the return of a better life.
Zhang Jinfu has a deep understanding of the role that children play in wartime and social life. He firmly believes that children are not incompetent, nor are they just the future, and that they have the ability to participate in the propaganda and education of the survival of the nation now.
Children are small but powerful propagandists, able to lead more people into the wave of resistance. In December 1935, Zhang Jinfu firmly joined the Communist Party of China and began his new life journey.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhang Jinfu had the opportunity to realize his filial piety, but unfortunately, his grandmother died as early as 1946. Despite this, he still misses his grandmother after his retirement.
With the deepening of reform and opening up, the state has launched a plan to introduce overseas high-level talents to accelerate the growth of scientific and technological strength. The purpose of this plan is to attract talents from all over the world and inject new impetus into China's reform and development.
As the core promoter of this plan, Zhang Jinfu has been committed to this cause.
When formulating the talent introduction strategy, Zhang Jinfu actively absorbed the wisdom of domestic experts. Under the guidance of Professor Wu Dakun, he proposed a new concept of talent integration, which is concise, vivid and easy to understand.
In order to learn from the experience more comprehensively, Zhang Jinfu also specially invited international experts to China for exchanges, including Chinese-American professor Nie Huatong. Prof. Nie shared the commercial model of talent recruitment in the United States, with a particular emphasis on the importance of information transparency.
Professor Nie's insights made Zhang Jinfu suddenly make a decision, and he realized that he must vigorously publicize China's talent recruitment policy at the right time. In the process of solicitation, although many controversial issues were encountered, Zhang Jinfu skillfully dealt with them and solved them one by one.
Introducing talents is the first step, and retaining talents is the key. Zhang Jinfu suggested that special treatment should be given to talents who have made outstanding contributions in the professional field. At his initiative, a grand welcoming ceremony was held for these experts, and the Prime Minister was specially invited to attend as an expression of the country's highest respect for them.
This initiative is a great honor for all the experts who have been honored. In 1982, in order to properly arrange the change of leadership, the leaders created the Advisory Committee of the Communist Party of China and invited nearly 300 experienced veterans to join, most of whom had held important positions in the leadership of the Communist Party of China.
Among all the consultants, Zhang Jinfu's name is particularly prominent.
With rich experience, these consultants play an important role in guiding, supervising and consulting, and are committed to improving the efficiency and streamlining of the work and ensuring the orderly growth of the young and middle-aged cadres.
In 1992, with the successful conclusion of its historic mission, the committee was officially dissolved at the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. As one of the standing committee members of the Central Advisory Committee, the elderly Zhang Jinfu is fortunate to be a member who has witnessed the history of the committee.
In the later years of his life, Mr. Zhang Jinfu, who was eighty years old, wrote an article "Missing My Grandmother". Every word and sentence of his mother was filled with deep nostalgia and endless gratitude.
Although Zhang Jinfu has long adhered to *** ideology and is a staunch materialist, he always retains the hope of reuniting with his grandmother in another world. In 2015, Mr. Zhang Jinfu passed away in Beijing at the age of 101.
This man, who has been cherishing a deep affection for his grandmother for many years, can finally pour out his gratitude and thoughts to his grandmother in another world.
In order to save the masses, Zhang Jinfu resolutely decided to give up the car.
