One day in September 1963, the High School Affiliated to Tsinghua University welcomed a special parent, the vice chairman of the Military Commission. When the school's leaders and teachers saw the celebrity, they were overwhelmed with indescribable surprise and even a little overwhelmed.
However, the ** general seemed very cordial and had a relaxed and pleasant homely conversation with the teachers. This unexpected meeting gradually dissipated the tension and gave everyone a deeper understanding of the famous founding father.
*The marshal came to Tsinghua High School for the first time, and his sudden visit surprised and excited the teachers. Although you have seen **Marshal** in the newspapers, you have never met yourself, and it is a great honor for everyone to be able to get close to this great leader.
So, why didn't you say hello and come to school? What does his presence have to do with it? It's all about his only son, He Pengfei. Just a few days ago, He Pengfei took the college entrance examination, and although he applied for Tsinghua University, unfortunately, his grades were only a little short of being admitted.
He was very sad and hoped that the school could give him some opportunities, such as the bonus point policy, so that he would have a chance to enter Tsinghua University.
He Pengfei felt helpless because of his poor results in the college entrance examination, so he went to his father ** for help. When ** was having breakfast, He Pengfei told him about his predicament.
* Listen carefully, and after thinking for a moment, say, "Then I'll go to school in the morning to see how it's going." He Pengfei thought that he would be reprimanded by his father, but what he didn't expect was that not only did he not criticize him, but also took the initiative to go to Tsinghua High School to understand the situation.
This surprised He Pengfei very much, and also made him full of gratitude for his father's encouragement and support.
*Visit the school in person and care about He Pengfei's repetition. After listening to the detailed introduction of the school, ** decided to let He Pengfei repeat his studies, and asked about the relevant conditions and fees.
Knowing that He Pengfei can go through the admission procedures for repeating his studies here, ** felt relieved. Back at home, he smiled and told He Pengfei that he had solved the problem for his repetition.
He Pengfei looked at his father, and the expectation on his face instantly became lost. He didn't expect his father to refuse his request so directly. ** took a deep puff of cigarette and said to him with a serious expression: "Pengfei, I know you really want to go to Tsinghua University, but I can't let you enter through personal connections just because I can afford to speak."
Have you forgotten how I usually educate you? Our family education has always relied on our own efforts, not on relationships and money. Don't look for me for your own affairs, you need to rely on your own ability to fight for it. ”
After He Pengfei heard this, he felt bitter in his heart, but he also knew that what his father said made sense. He decided that no matter how difficult it was, he would rely on his own efforts to achieve his dream.
* He Pengfei said to his son He Pengfei that if he was privileged because he was the son of a high-ranking cadre, how should he explain the other children of workers, peasants and soldiers who had the same score as him in the college entrance examination?
He Pengfei burst into tears after hearing this, he knew that he had disappointed his father this time. He sincerely apologized to his father and decided to repeat his studies at Tsinghua High School, and was finally admitted to Tsinghua University with the third grade in his class.
Later, he developed in the army, becoming deputy commander of the navy, making an important contribution to the development of the army.
What is little known is that He Pengfei personally handled the construction of China's first aircraft carrier, but unfortunately, he died young before the aircraft carrier was launched, and he was unable to witness this historical moment.
