In April 1984, the spring breeze was blowing in Beijing, and the West Flower Hall in Zhongnanhai was filled with a warm atmosphere. In the conference room, Deng Yingchao had a warm conversation with Zhou Enshou, the younger brother of the Prime Minister, and his family, asking about each other's recent situation, and feeling that the years have passed.
After a few brief pleasantries, Zhou Enshou suddenly mentioned that he had experienced a lot of pain and grievances during the special period. Hearing this, Deng Yingchao couldn't help but want to tell his suffering: "Don't say that you feel wronged, today I want to talk about my grievances!"
In fact, we are both wronged people......”
Zhou Enshou's surprised reaction aroused curiosity about his initiative to mention the wronged matter and the deep meaning of Deng Yingchao's words.
Zhou Enshou and Deng Yingchao: The Story of No Children but Many Children ** and Deng Yingchao, as great revolutionaries and proletarian revolutionaries, their lives have been dedicated to the cause of the party and the country.
Although they did not have their own biological children, they adopted many orphans of martyrs as their own children, and at the same time regarded the nephews and nieces of the Zhou family as if they were their own.
When the relatives of the *** family came to visit, Deng Yingchao was very happy. As a staunch female warrior, she has experienced many things in the revolution and has seen many people, so she also empathizes with what Zhou Enshou said about her grievances, and immediately began to tell her bitter water.
There are two main reasons for this.
1.Deng Yingchao worked hard to resolve the 20-year estrangement between *** and Zhou Enshou. 2.In order to help *** alleviate the injustice in his heart, Deng Yingchao took himself as an example and asked *** to say his unspeakable secrets.
** had three brothers in his family, and he himself was the eldest and took the lead on the road of revolution. His second and third brothers were both brilliant and grew up to follow in his footsteps and join the revolution.
His eldest brother *** Pu died in the prison of the Kuomintang on the eve of the victory of the revolution, at the age of 46. And his second brother Zhou Enshou once joined the party, but later there was a gap between him and him.
Zhou Enshou, born in 1904, actively devoted himself to the revolutionary cause at a young age and joined the Communist Party of China in his 20s. Arranged by the organization, he entered the Whampoa Military Academy to study, and became attached to many comrades of the Communist Party of China.
After graduating, he devoted himself to the Northern Expedition, but was unfortunately wounded on the battlefield and could only withdraw from the front line, and was sent by the party organization to Wuhan to carry out political and cultural work in the rear. There, he met a woman, but unfortunately, the woman chose to break up with him soon after.
Desperate, *** asked for leave from the organization and decided to chase after his lover, but this time, not only did he fail to recover his lover, but he also had no news of his brother for a long time.
As a member of the squadron, he knows that any behavior that violates the discipline of the party organization cannot be done.
** When holding important positions in the party, you are strict with discipline for yourself and your family. Although his younger brother was mistakenly accused of violating party rules and discipline, he did not actually have such thoughts.
However, due to being misunderstood by the eldest brother, the younger brother felt very aggrieved and could not explain it clearly to him. Therefore, he left the party in a fit of rage and went to the northeast to become an ordinary worker.
**'s strict requirements made his younger brother feel "unkind", but it was also a manifestation of his adherence to principles. This "unkindness" left a deep wound in the younger brother's heart, leading to their 18-year separation.
For the sake of the country and the people, the Prime Minister threw himself into his work and even sacrificed his family life. His family lived in the Northeast until 1945.
However, with the outbreak of the Liberation War, ** had to temporarily separate from his family and continue to fight for the liberation of the country. His spirit of selfless dedication deserves to be remembered and emulated forever.
**Shou Xin is concerned with the party organization and wrote a letter to his brother *** for help, hoping to contribute to the country. **After receiving the letter from my younger brother after 18 years of absence, I was very happy and immediately instructed *** to go to the three eastern provinces to contact.
**After arriving, he did not directly agree to Zhou Enshou to join the party, but gave him a sum of money, hoping that he would use the money to run a large store and provide materials and medicines for the party organization in the northeast.
Although he knew that he might face risks as a result, Zhou Enshou gladly accepted it and went all out to contribute to the promotion of national liberation. However, fate made people, in 1947, Zhou Enshou was accused of being the younger brother of ***, so he was imprisoned.
During his years in prison, he was tortured and interrogated, and the younger brother of ** suffered a lot. When he learned the news of his younger brother, he was so anxious that he urgently contacted the teachers and classmates of Nankai University to help bail his younger brother out.
With the joint efforts of everyone, **'s younger brother finally left the prison safe and sound. But looking back on the past 30 years, he has always felt a little bitter in his heart.
He once dreamed of contributing to the party, but he had a misunderstanding with his brother by mistake; He tried to continue to join the party and do his part for the country, but he didn't know how to start.
Wandering for half a life, he was still alone when he returned, which made *** feel a little depressed. Especially after the founding of New China, he was casually arranged by his brother to work in a position, and he was somewhat dissatisfied with this.
** To his younger brother Zhou Enshou, he said: "I have left the revolutionary ranks for many years, and I am not experienced enough to arrange work immediately. We should start from the grassroots level, learn first, and then grow. ”
Soon after, Zhou Enshou went to study at North China University, and then worked in the Iron and Steel Industry Bureau, becoming a small section chief. During his tenure as section chief, he specially reminded the leader not to treat him specially, because he was his younger brother.
He also asked for less to be paid to him because of his own position-sensitive. Zhou Enshou was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he understood that the frugality of *** was outrageous. He sighed and said to his wife: "My brother has only the people in his heart, and he has nothing to do with himself. ”
Yes, ** has nothing but the people in mind. After learning that his younger brother Zhou Enshou had a serious stomach ulcer and could not work normally, he did not immediately care about his younger brother's condition, but asked the relevant leading cadres: "Zhou Enshou is already sick and unable to work, why can he still receive a salary every month?"
He should be retired immediately. With his push, his younger brother left his job and the family struggled. But he knew his brother's difficulties, so after he retired, he took all his three children to the West Flower Hall to raise them personally, and gave a part of his salary to his younger brother every month as living expenses.
Deng Yingchao skillfully untied Zhou Enshou's heart knot, emphasizing his honesty and selfishness, which is exactly the standard of being a human being. And Deng Yingchao mentioned"She has her own grievances", in fact, is also derived from the values of ***.
Deng Yingchao and *** are the pioneers of the revolution, and their revolutionary careers are also full of legends. Deng Yingchao's revolutionary experience is no less than *** However, after becoming *** Prime Minister, he still insisted on not letting Deng Yingchao receive the ** salary he deserved.
He explained that working together as a husband and wife in *** may cause unnecessary controversy, so he suggested that Deng Yingchao take a step back. Deng Yingchao understood what he meant and gladly accepted it.
Although the wives of other cadres have positions, she has not yet settled, but she has never complained about *** On the contrary, she shares weal and woe with *** and understands each other very well.
In 1974, ** arranged a ** position for Deng Yingchao, which was undoubtedly an affirmation of her.
It turned out that this appointment was not delivered to Deng Yingchao until after the death of ***, and the secretary found it in the file bag. Deng Yingchao was moved to tears at the time, it turned out that in order to avoid the ** position, her husband pressed the order for more than a year.
However, she never resented *** but understood his distress. ** once said: "In ** I and Xiao Chao, others may mistakenly think that her orders are my orders, and vice versa."
Our family relationship cannot affect the revolutionary work, so I can only grieve Xiaochao. After listening to Ms. Deng's story, Zhou Enshou sighed: "My brother is still the same, I didn't expect you to be the same with my sister-in-law." ”
This conversation made the worries in Zhou Enshou's heart dissipate, and he was willing to let go of the detention experience during that special period and no longer remember too much.
In that special decade, Zhou Enshou was implicated because of his relationship with ***. He was watched by reactionary figures, spent every day in pain and torment, and was even suddenly put in prison.
Those days were painful memories for him, but when he was released from prison, he was surprised to find that his own brother had arrested him in prison.
Deng Yingchao explained this, she said: "It's not that your brother really wants to treat you like this, he is afraid that others will attack you first, so he can only protect you in this way first and let you be wronged." ”
Although he knew that ***'s intentions were good, he still inevitably felt a little aggrieved in his heart.
I am not afraid to endure hardships for the revolution, but my brother only has selflessness in his heart, which really wronged my sister-in-law. Zhou Enshou sighed. Deng Yingchao responded with a smile: "Enlai and I fought for the revolution together and never complained to each other.
Hope you understand. Zhou Enshou nodded, and only then did he understand that in front of the people, anyone's grievances are nothing, not to mention how many grievances he has endured for the country and the people.
Dealing with the grievances in Zhou Enshou's heart, Sister Deng's strategy is ingenious. She not only comforted Zhou Enshou, but also made everyone understand the difficulties of ***. This solution both solves the problem and maintains harmony in the family.
