Since ancient times, China has advocated the traditional etiquette of respecting the elderly, loving the young, and honoring parents, and is known as the country of etiquette. This value is not only an affirmation of the national culture, but also puts forward higher requirements for each individual. However, during the ** period, there was one person who became an exception, and he was Hu Zongnan, a senior general of the Kuomintang.
Hu Zongnan's father, Hu Jiqing, once went to the barracks to visit his son, but was stopped by a sentry at the gate of the barracks. Hu Jiqing used to be a majestic figure, but this time he relied on his son to be a senior **, and he didn't pay attention to an ordinary sentry, and shouted angrily: "Let the commander come out, I'm his son!."Hearing this, the sentry immediately reported it and asked to verify the identity of the old man.
When the news reached Hu Zongnan, he not only refused to meet, but also claimed that the arrogant old man outside the door was not his father at all, and ordered the old man to get out of here. So, is this old man Hu Zongnan's father?In fact, what the old man said was true, but due to the unhappiness between father and son, Hu Zongnan still had a grudge against him, and he didn't want his father to rely on his current status to act recklessly, let alone affect the training of the troops, so he made up his mind to say that.
Hu Jiqing heard the sentinel's reply and realized that his son still had a grudge against him. He knew that he owed something to Hu Zongnan, because before Hu Zongnan joined the army, he made some money in business, and Hu Zongnan achieved nothing, he often scolded him and looked down on him. This led to a gradual deterioration in the father-son relationship, which eventually severed contact and did not see each other. Hu Zongnan chose to join the army in order to compete for his popularity, and gradually grew into a senior general of the Kuomintang, while Hu Jiqing failed in business and hoped to improve his situation with the help of his fame and fortune after hearing that his son was promising.
Hu Zongnan understood his father's thoughts, and although he publicly denied the relationship between them, he privately took some money to inquire about his father's residence and personally handed the money into his hands. This shows that Hu Zongnan doesn't really hate his father, and the family affection that blood is thicker than water always exists.
However, this meeting became their last after many years of separation, and the existence of the war made this reunion a scene of life and death, which was embarrassing. This story of father-son feud reflects the contradictions and complexities in family relationships, and also makes people think deeply about the preciousness and fragility of family affection. In the cultural context of the ceremonial state, this story reminds us to cherish our loved ones and resolve conflicts as much as possible so as not to leave regrets and remorse.
