Foreword: In the summer of 2004, on an ordinary but special night, in the Duxinyuan Building in Beijing, there was a lot of laughter. Someone exclaimed: "Look, is he becoming more and more like Uncle Mao wearing an octagonal hat?" ”
In a word, the originally lively scene was silenced, and all eyes turned to another person. The familiarity between the man's eyebrows seemed to make people see the old people who had not been seen for a long time, and those passing times resurfaced in front of them.
Mao and Liu had dinner and talked about old things. Liu Yuan said: "Is he becoming more and more like Uncle Mao wearing an octagonal hat?" It refers to Wang Xiaozhi, the grandson of ***.
Today, for the first time in years, the two families have a formal dinner, which means a lot to each other. Although the agreed time had not yet arrived, the two families had already arrived at the agreed place.
When I saw that the old people I once knew were gray-haired, my eyes were filled with tears. Accompanied by his relatives, Li Ne saw Wang Guangmei standing at the door before he got out of the car.
Recalling the days of laughing and playing with Aunt Wang in my childhood, looking at this old man with gray hair and old age, the emotions in my heart are complex and profound.
Li Ne hurriedly got out of the car and walked straight to Wang Guangmei, crying before she could speak. And Wang Guangmei looked at the little girl who used to laugh beside her, although the years have left traces on her sideburns, but when she saw Li Ne's red and swollen eyes, she seemed to feel that she hadn't really grown up over the years.
She looked at Li Ne in front of her kindly, and said gently, "We finally meet again!" Wang Guangmei's words touched Li Ne's heart again, she held Wang Guangmei's wrinkled hand tightly, and sobbed, "Aunt Wang." Although these two people who met for the first time did not talk much, they could both feel the emotions of each other, and that was enough.
When the two families get together, they come to the restaurant for dinner. While everyone was talking warmly, Liu Yuan grabbed Wang Xiaozhi, brought her to Wang Guangmei's side, and asked, "Is he more and more like Uncle Mao wearing an octagonal hat?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to the protagonist. Facing everyone's attention, Wang Xiaozhi waved his hand again and again, denying: "It's not like it, it's not like it." Wang Guangmei seemed to see the old man, and said with nostalgia: "Xiaozhi's eyebrows and eyes are indeed very similar to his grandfather." ”
In 1996, Li Ne was invited to participate in the "Chinese Sons and Daughters" pen meeting in the Three Gorges Dam area of Wuhan. When she arrived at the scene, she immediately recognized the man with gray temples in the crowd.
He looked at her with slightly red eyes, and from his eyebrows, she immediately recognized the former Liu Yuan. Seeing the old man, Li Ne immediately stepped forward and hugged her brother tightly, the wind of the Three Gorges gently blowing, blowing away their estrangement after years of separation, and only the sighs of each other echoed by the river.
When Li Ne and Liu Yuan walked along the Three Gorges River, looking at the scenery on both sides, they seemed to have returned to the time of their parents.
Comrade Shaoqi, if we do not solve the Three Gorges issue, it will be difficult to guarantee the livelihood of the masses. This investigation gave *** a deeper understanding of the Yangtze River flood problem, and he understood the urgency of the problem.
At the end of the inspection, they conducted in-depth research and reports on the Yangtze River issue.
The Three Gorges Dam is now a symbol of tranquility for people living on both sides of the river, but when the dam was not built in 1954, flooding on the Yangtze River left many people sleeping. When Liu Yuan and Li Ne learned this, they couldn't help but think of their parents and *** who couldn't sleep at night in the face of the flood, and just wanted to find a way to help the people who were affected by the flood.
At the end of December of the same year, they came to Wuhan and made a special appointment to meet with Lin Yishan, the "King of the Yangtze River," to ask him about professional questions about the technical technology and geological feasibility of the Three Gorges Project.
The wind outside the window is biting, and you can feel it even in the train box. Yet the leaders had no time for themselves, and their hearts were filled with the suffering of their people.
If the local flood problem is not solved as soon as possible, the local people will not be able to escape the threat of flooding in the next five years, ten years, or even longer. Faced with this problem, Lin Yishan put forward his own proposal and proposed the construction of the Three Gorges Dam.
While this proposal will benefit generations to come, the challenges are enormous. The construction of the Three Gorges Dam not only requires ultra-high technology, which is a huge challenge for the new China, which is waiting for all industries to be built, but also requires the evacuation of tens of thousands of people on both sides of the strait during the construction process, which will undoubtedly cause huge controversy.
However, after a long period of reflection, they unanimously decided that even if the construction of the Three Gorges Dam was difficult, they would grit their teeth and persevere for the benefit of future generations. However, until the death of *** and others, the construction of the Three Gorges Dam was still unsuccessful.
Decades later, their descendants will stroll along the Three Gorges Dam, gazing at the majestic structure, imagining that people in the future will no longer suffer from floods, and their departed loved ones will be relieved.
Li Ne stared at Liu Yuan beside him, imagining that he was running around the dam day and night in order to fulfill the legacy of his ancestors, and couldn't help but sigh: "Your contribution to the Three Gorges Dam, Uncle Liu will definitely feel very gratified if he knows about it." ”
Hearing Li Ne's words, Liu Yuan responded with a smile: "I am your younger brother, isn't my contribution equivalent to your contribution?" This dam has carried the expectations of too many people, and although we encountered many difficulties in the construction process, in the end we lived up to the expectations of our ancestors, right? ”
Looking at Liu Yuan's smile, Li Ne seemed to see the former teenager again, the teenager who insisted on his dreams and was unswerving. After many years of ups and downs, he has never forgotten his original intention, and now, he has finally realized his dream and fulfilled the expectations of his father.
At this time, Li Ne couldn't help but think of the deep emotions between *** and ***, like a shining pearl in the long river of history. Half a century ago, they had already established a deep friendship, and they were not only comrades-in-arms of the revolution, but also brothers with deep affection.
We can see a lot of similarities in them, both in terms of origin and beliefs, which have laid a solid foundation for their deep affection that has lasted for decades.
In the summer of 1922, the young *** ended his participation in the Far Eastern People's Congress of Labor in Moscow, and he immediately returned to Changsha Qingshuitang. In this city, he met for the first time ***, who was the secretary of the Hunan District Executive Committee of the Communist Party of China at that time
As soon as the two of them spoke, the dialect full of Hunan characteristics immediately shortened the distance between them. In this meeting, ** had an in-depth conversation with ***.
After learning about some of the situation in the Hunan region of the Communist Party of China, ** put forward some opinions for the future development of the Hunan region of the Communist Party of China based on his experience in Soviet Russia. After in-depth exchanges, he deeply appreciated his talents, so he was immediately appointed as a member of the Hunan District Executive Committee of the Communist Party of China to discuss the major events of the revolution together.
We have started close cooperation with the best to jointly promote the development of agriculture. Their efforts have gradually strengthened the ranks of the Communist Party of China in Hunan District, and they have also praised the great contribution to the revolution many times.
In addition to supporting each other at work, they also maintain a close bond in life. Considering ***'s personal problems, ** and Yang Kaihui decided to find a suitable revolutionary partner for him.
He Baozhen, who studied at Hunan Self-Study University, caught their attention, she was only 20 years old, full of energy, progressive in thought, and very compatible with ***.
In April 1923, under the matchmaking of *** and Yang Kaihui, ** and He Baozhen tied the knot in Anyuan. After marriage, He Baozhen and *** support each other in work and life, the family is harmonious and happy, and they also have three children.
However, happiness is always fleeting, in 1933 He Baozhen was unlucky**, in the face of the enemy's coercion and temptation, she firmly believed, never compromised, and finally died heroically in the autumn of 1934.
After He Baozhen passed away, he gave great comfort and encouragement. In the war-torn years, they supported each other and bravely faced difficulties and challenges.
Although he knew that Chiang Kai-shek's invitation concealed a conspiracy, for the sake of domestic peace, ** resolutely went to Chongqing, ** Wang Ruofei and others accompanied him. **planned to go to Chongqing in person, ** was deeply worried and offered to accompany him.
However, at this time, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression had just ended, and the contradictions between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party had intensified again, and if they went to Chongqing at the same time, it would have a negative impact on the stability of the party. Therefore, ** said to *** seriously: "Comrade Shaoqi, the road to Chongqing is dangerous, you must stick to the rear, don't mess up!" ”
After listening to the teachings of ***, ** deeply realized his great mission. So, on the day of going to Chongqing for peace negotiations, on the one hand, he commanded the troops in all regions of the country, and on the other hand, he directed the work within the party throughout the country until he returned to Yan'an safely.
The second generation of the Mao and Liu families, Liu Yuan and Li Ne, naturally had a lot of contact after the founding of the People's Republic of China due to the deep revolutionary feelings between the two families, which also made the children of the two families have a close connection.
Li Ne and Liu Yuan have the deepest friendship. Although the age difference is large, this does not prevent them from sharing happiness and supporting each other. Liu Yuan likes to follow Li Ne and confide in her when he is wronged, and Li Ne always comforts him: "Xiao Yuan is a man, and he can't shed tears easily." ”
I thought that this group of friends who grew up in Zhongnanhai could always be together, but as the two families moved away and the contact gradually decreased, this deep friendship seemed to gradually fade.
A few years later, Liu Yuan learned that Li Ne would go to the Three Gorges to participate in the "Children of China" pen meeting, and he immediately drove there, hoping to see his sister again after a long absence. Although the time of the organized dinner party is always short, Li Ne cannot stay here for a long time due to personal reasons, although the two are very reluctant, but the day of parting is still coming.
On this day, Liu Yuan deliberately pushed off the affairs at hand and decided to say goodbye to his sister in person. Looking at the reluctance in Li Ne's eyes, he said firmly: "We will definitely meet again." ”
After bidding farewell to Li Ne, Liu Yuan understood that the two families needed to have a formal dinner party to completely end the estrangement between the two families and continue the past relationship.
Liu Yuan quickly informed his mother, Wang Guangmei, of his idea of organizing a dinner for the two families. Knowing the importance of this gathering, Wang Guangmei agreed, and said: "The friendship between our two families is deep, and you young people should not forget that the gathering is necessary. ”
After receiving the agreement, Liu Yuan immediately began to prepare for the party. In 2004, Li Min and Li Ne both received invitations to Liu Yuan's dinner.
You see, is he becoming more and more like Uncle Mao wearing an octagonal hat? ”
Liu Yuan's gaze led to Wang Xiaozhi, and the familiar eyebrows and eyes made Wang Guangmei seem to see the old man. And the children laughing around her also reminded her of decades ago, when *** and *** were still there, and the children were talking happily to each other as they are now.
After that dinner, Wang Guangmei solved his heart, and now the two juniors also know each other, and they will have deeper exchanges in the future. After that, Wang Guangmei put all her energy into it"Project Hope"Middle.
Until 2006, Wang Guangmei spent her 85th birthday with the blessing of her children, but her health deteriorated. In the face of her children's sadness, she is very calm.
Even though you have left us, your wisdom and love will live forever in our hearts. Your life is full of satisfaction and joy and you leave no regrets. Accompanied by your children, you left this world peacefully to continue your legendary journey.
As sad as we are, we know that you have found eternal peace and contentment. We miss you, but we will not forget your love and influence.
