It stands to reason that a founding major general should have no worries about food and clothing in his later years, and his children should also be leaders in various industries. However, the old general introduced today lives a very simple life, and his descendants are all in the countryside as authentic farmers, living a life of coarse tea and light food, and no one can touch his light. The founding major general is Zhong Wei, a name that is like thunder. 
In 1949, when Hunan had just been liberated, Zhong Wei's eldest son Zhong Chengliang came to look for him, he hadn't seen him for many years, and finally reunited, Zhong Chengliang made a request, hoping that his father could find a better and decent job for himself. In the eyes of ordinary people, with such a high status of a father, it is not easy to arrange a job for his son? However, as soon as Zhong Yiliang made this request, he was immediately rejected by Zhong Wei, and said to his son very harshly: "I think you are quite suitable for farming, so go back to your hometown and be an honest farmer!" I can't help you make something special, think about it, if I find you a job this time, open the back door, and others come to me again in the future, what will you let me do? Zhong Yiliang heard his father say this, although he was disappointed, but his father did not dare to disobey him, so he had to go back and continue farming. This kind is a lifetime, until his death, Zhong Yiliang did not leave that homeland. 
As the saying goes, if you don't hurt your son, you love your grandson, it's quite common for you to be close to your next generation, Zhong Wei is no exception, love is to love your grandson, but it's better to go through the back door! Later, Zhong Chengliang's son, Zhong Xinsheng, the grandson of General Zhong Wei, came to Beijing to find his grandfather when he grew up, wanting his grandfather to help him realize his dream of being a soldier, hoping to become a general like his grandfather one day. However, the answer must have been guessed by everyone, the grandson was closed again, and was directly rejected by Zhong Weisian, saying: "Grandpa loves you very much, but I must not promise you this matter, your grandfather and I joined the army back then were also selected at various levels, and I improved little by little with my own ability." I see that you and your father are both good seedlings for farming, so you might as well go home and be a farmer! In this way, Zhong Xinsheng, like his father, had to obediently return to his hometown to farm, but he did not become a farmer all his life, and certainly did not become an outstanding soldier like his grandfather, but learned a craft and became a carpenter. In his hometown, Zhong Xinsheng was very low-key, remembering his grandfather's teachings, keeping his mouth shut in front of outsiders, and never showing off his life experience to others. 
In 1984, Zhong Wei had a serious illness and was admitted to the hospital, and after the old leader Huang Kecheng heard about it, he went to the hospital to see him. Zhong Wei said: "The children are all in their hometown, and there are three grandchildren and two granddaughters, all of whom are also in the countryside. Huang Kecheng looked at Zhong Wei and said with emotion: "Old Zhong, you are amazing, I admire you!" On June 24, 1984, General Zhong Wei died of illness at the age of 73. Before his death, Zhong Wei left a special will for his family, which read: "Dear party, I don't have to pay me back my salary after I die, because my sons can live, and I don't owe any accounts myself." Don't give me a memorial service and a farewell before the funeral, scatter my ashes in Pingjiang Tianyue Academy, the place of our uprising. ”
