The best mother in China, married at the age of 19, widowed at the age of 52, trained 13 doctors, and died at the age of 106.
Liang Qichao's "Xinmin Theory" has a saying that "although a woman is weak, a mother is strong", in history, most people believe that women are relatively weak both psychologically and physically, but maternal love can stimulate women's unimaginably strong willpower.
Wang Shuzhen: The widowed mother has cultivated 13 doctoral children, and even praised her as the "great mother" Ms. Wang Shuzhen, who is middle-aged and widowed for more than 50 years, but she has worked hard to train all 13 children to doctoral graduation, which is amazing.
She used to be the daughter of a wealthy family, but she shouldered the burden of the family alone and raised her children into talents, this kind of maternal love is admirable. After Wang Shuzhen moved to the United States in her later years, even the United States praised her as a "great mother".
At that time, many ordinary children needed to take on housework early, but Wang Shuzhen didn't. Her parents, the royal father and the queen mother, provided her with high-quality educational resources, allowing her to learn Xi read and write in the new-style school since she was a child.
In the old society, most people thought that a woman was virtuous if she was not talented, but Wang Shuzhen, under the enlightened cultivation of her parents, wrote well at a young age, and also had in-depth research on poetry and songs, and was a real lady.
As Wang Shuzhen grew into a girl, her beauty became more outstanding, and people said: "Lady and gentleman, good ambition." "What's more, what about a daughter like Wang Shuzhen?
When marriage becomes the only way to live, many outstanding local young people are eager to be favored by Wang Shuzhen, and the Wang family is full of excitement. However, in the end, Wang Shuzhen chose Li Haoming, the young owner of the grain bank.
But this is not because of the wealth and industry of the Li family, nor for business marriages, but because Wang Shuzhen was attracted by Li Haoming's personality charm. Although Li Haoming is a rich child from a wealthy family, he does not have the slightest impetuousness and arrogance, on the contrary, he is very down-to-earth and steady, and he has achieved academic success, and has many common topics with Wang Shuzhen, who has studied since childhood.
At the age of 19, Wang Shuzhen chose Li Haoming as her partner. After marriage, the two have a clear division of labor, Wang Shuzhen is inside, Li Haoming is outside, life is harmonious and happy, and the relationship is deepening day by day.
Li and Wang are local businessmen, and after the two families became in-laws, they helped each other and their business flourished. With no financial burden and a harmonious relationship after marriage, Wang Shuzhen gave birth to 13 children in the 30 years after marriage.
Li Haoming is doing business outside to make money, Wang Shuzhen is educating her children at home, and the family's life is full of laughter and laughter, and they are very happy. However, due to social turmoil and frequent wars, Li Haoming decided to temporarily move to Taiwan for the safety of his family.
Moving was a big project, and due to the reduction of servants, many things needed to be handled by Wang Shuzhen herself. However, the capable Wang Shuzhen handled the moving matter in an orderly manner.
Taiwan Lao**: Although Li Haoming's family started a new life in Taiwan and achieved success, their roots and connections are mainly in the mainland. As a result, Li often needs to take a boat back to the mainland for business negotiations.
However, an accident changed their lives. On January 27, 1949, Li Haoming went to the mainland for business negotiations, but did not return home to accompany his family to celebrate the New Year as agreed.
Wang Shuzhen and the children waited until late at night, but did not wait for Li Haoming to return. Although Wang Shuzhen tried her best to stay calm, her heart was full of worry and she didn't close her eyes almost all night.
In the early morning of the new day, Wang Shuzhen did not wait for Li Haoming's return, but heard a shocking news - Li Haoming was riding"The Pacific Wheel"There was a serious collision near Zhoushan and he was unfortunately killed.
For Wang Shuzhen, this news is like five thunderbolts, Li Haoming's sudden death has made their family lose their backbone, and the children are still in school, and although Wang Shuzhen is educated, she has never set foot in business, and she doesn't understand business at all.
As a result, Li Haoming's business was not taken over, and it was quickly eaten up by other merchants, and part of the property left behind was used to compensate other merchants, and part of it was used to pay for servants and servants who needed to be dismissed, and soon all these savings were spent.
Although life has passed, the living still need to move forward, after taking care of the funeral, Wang Shuzhen looked at the empty house, thinking about how to raise these 13 children. Although there is still a little property left by the husband, there is a time when the rich property will be exhausted, not to mention that there is only a little left.
So, Wang Shuzhen quickly made the decision to go out to work to make a living, as the daughter of a wealthy family, she resolutely put down her body and started doing odd jobs, in order to earn more money, laundry and cooking, cleaning and sewing, she is willing to work tirelessly to do, sometimes even several jobs a day.
At that time, Wang Shuzhen's eldest son and eldest daughter were studying in college, and they saw that their mother was working very hard every day, so they wanted to drop out of school and work to share the burden of the family for their mother.
Wang Shuzhen firmly rejected their offer because she knew the importance of education. She has a deep love for education since she was a child with the full support of her parents, who received a quality education.
Wang Shuzhen understands that no matter what era it is, knowledge and morality are the foundation of life. She can teach morality, but her knowledge needs to be constantly updated, so she is determined not to let her children fall behind in their studies, which is why she insists on working part-time to ensure that the children can afford the school fees.
Under Wang Shuzhen's education, the children not only have excellent academic Xi results, but also have a very high moral cultivation. Although their standard of living has plummeted from luxury, none of their children complains to Wang Shuzhen, who not only concentrates on learning Xi, but also takes the initiative to help with household chores.
Wang Shuzhen educated with heart, and the children were successful in their studies, and they were admitted to the doctorate one after another, repaying their mother's hard work with their achievements. Her efforts were rewarded, and her eldest son Li Changquan began to work to supplement the family after completing his studies, and Wang Shuzhen was also pleased.
After Li Changyu graduated, his younger brothers were also admitted to the doctoral program and had the opportunity to go to the United States for further study. The most famous of these is the contemporary Sherlock Holmes, the detective Li Changyu.
After graduating, Li Changyu wanted to join the police directly, he was full of passion, hoping to punish evil and promote good, and did not want to waste more time on campus.
However, his mother, Wang Shuzhen, knew what he was thinking and reprimanded him harshly. She thought that Li Changyu was too impetuous at that time and needed to accumulate more knowledge in order to go further.
Therefore, she told him that he must continue his education.
Although Wang Shuzhen's requirements are a bit strict, Li Changyu is well aware of her mother's good intentions. He followed his mother's advice and gave up the opportunity to work directly and embarked on a path to study in the United States instead.
Eventually, he succeeded in earning his Ph.D. from the University of Manhattan in the United States. During his time in the United States, he successfully solved many cases that shocked the world, such as the "Nixon Watergate Scandal", "9/11" and "Simpson Wife Murder Case".
As a result, Li Changyu became a Chinese detective and was frequently invited to participate in various speaking events. As he received more and more awards, so did his popularity.
In 1998, he was appointed Chief of Police of the State of Connecticut, becoming the first Chinese-American chief to hold the highest position in the state police department. This achievement, unprecedented in U.S. history, once again proves Lee's exceptional talent.
Li Changyu is not alone, Wang Shuzhen has cultivated countless outstanding sons and daughters, three of whom have also won the title of "Top Ten Outstanding Young Persons in the United States". Some people can't help but ask, what is Wang Shuzhen's godson secrets, which can train all 13 children to become leaders in their respective fields?
In fact, Wang Shuzhen's requirements for children are only 15 words: "Be friendly to others, focus on doing things, and do more with less talk." These 15 words seem simple, but it is not easy to adhere to them day after day, and it is under the guidance of Wang Shuzhen that her children keep these 15 words in mind and have achieved brilliant achievements later.
After her 13 children went overseas for further study, most of them chose to settle overseas, which is not only a reward for her hard work, but also brings some new troubles.
Although she felt that there was no inconvenience in staying in Taiwan, she was in her 60s after all, and Taiwan was still a part of China after all, and she did not want to leave her homeland.
After much persuasion from the children, Wang finally decided to follow them to move to the United States. She understood that staying in Taiwan would worry her children as she grew older, so she decided to settle in the United States.
However, settling in the U.S. requires an immigrant visa, and one of the processes that makes Wang Shuzhen's family difficult is the oral test. Although Wang Shuzhen received a new education when she was young, she never learned English, and she also required her children to speak Chinese at home.
As a result, she had never been exposed to English before and now Xi her a completely new language, which almost everyone thought was an impossible task. However, Wang Shuzhen, who raised 13 children by herself, has amazing perseverance, and there may be nothing in this world that can stump her.
Wang Shuzhen decided to move to the United States, in order to pass the test of the immigration bureau, she devoted herself to English learning Xi, and the English textbooks at home were in tatters by her. Although she had never studied English before, with her deep Xi ability and hard work spirit at a young age, she was able to communicate in English simply after only half a year.
As a result, 65-year-old Wang Shuzhen successfully passed the oral test of the immigration bureau, obtained a permanent residence permit in the United States with her own efforts, and finally lived with her children and enjoyed family fun.
On her birthday, she made a wish to give back to her country.
Wang Shuzhen's sons and daughters are all industry leaders in the United States, which has made her widely concerned by American society. On her 100th birthday, even the then American ** Clinton specially sent her a blessing plaque written in Chinese.
While she is proud of her children's achievements, her greatest wish is not. On the occasion of her 100th birthday, Wang Shuzhen revealed to the children that her birthday wish was to donate schools to the mainland of the motherland.
The most simple wish of this old man, who has always paid attention to education, is to hope that the children in her hometown can have the opportunity to receive professional education, because she firmly believes that knowledge can change fate.
Wang Shuzhen (first row, middle) donated to build a Hope Primary School in Rugao, Jiangsu Province, and her youngest son, Li Changyu, generously donated to build a stadium for the primary school.
Their patriotism deeply touched the local ** and immediately expressed their gratitude. Wang Shuzhen hoped to return to her motherland in person to participate in the school's ribbon-cutting ceremony and see the changes in her hometown, but due to her advanced age, it was not suitable to go back and forth, and finally her youngest son Li Changyu returned to her hometown to cut the ribbon on her behalf.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Li Changyu took away a handful of sand from the school playground, hoping to comfort his mother's homesickness.
In 2003, Wang Shuzhen passed away peacefully in New York, USA, her life spanned three centuries, spent 106 spring and autumn, and raised 13 outstanding children.
Her greatness and glory will be forever remembered not only by her children, but also by all who know about her deeds. At her funeral, even the surrounding Americans rushed to present her with a bouquet of flowers.
Wang Shuzhen was middle-aged and widowed, raising 13 children alone, and the pressure of life not only did not defeat her, but allowed her to hone her tenacious spiritual will.
Although she immigrated to the United States in her later years, she always thought about the motherland and taught her children to contribute to the motherland.
After the hardships of life, Wang Shuzhen is still a patriot who loves her hometown deeply.
In the journey of life, difficulties and setbacks are inevitable. Let's learn from Wang Shuzhen Xi have the courage to face the challenges head-on. No matter how many ups and downs we have experienced, we hope that we will not forget our original intention and stick to kindness.
