When I learned that my beloved son died, I choked up: Why did you hide it from me?
* The death of his only son, Zhu Qi, brought his family to Beijing with a heavy heart. Although ** is 88 years old and in poor physical condition, he never imagined that his son passed away without even leaving a word, which made him feel very painful.
He knew that his son's life had gone through ups and downs, but he didn't expect it to end in this way. He choked up and said, "You didn't tell me at first, it's not right, I'm just one of his sons, and I left at a young age, it's a pity." ”
Zhu Qi was brought up by his stepmother, he was born in 1916, and his biological mother was Xiao Jufang, the second wife of **. ** Met Xiao Jufang in Kunming, when Xiao Jufang was studying at a normal school in Kunming.
** walked from Shanghai for more than 70 days to Kunming to take the lecture martial arts exam, but unfortunately went into shock on the road.
* Dedicated to the country during the war, but had to hand over his young son Zhu Qi to his friend Chen Yuzhen in his hometown to raise. In 1937, Zhu Qi was arrested by the Kuomintang to be a strong man, and after leaving his stepmother Chen Yuzhen, he went through all kinds of hardships, but fortunately his identity was not revealed.
Later, with the efforts of ***, Zhu Qi was found and sent to work in the Eighth Route Army Office in Xi'an, and a year after reuniting with **, Zhu Qi was sent to Yan'an, and finally recognized his father**.
* Excitedly touching Zhu Qi's right ear, which was his son.
Zhu Qi, the child who entered the ** party school after a simple reunion, could have become a national cadre after graduation, but was sent to the front line battlefield by his father**, despite facing life and death, he still had no regrets, broke through the predicament, and moved forward bravely.
He dared to charge into battle, was not afraid of sacrifice, and after being rated as a first-class disability, he was assigned to the school department of the seventh branch of Yan'an Kang University and became the head of the queue section. Despite being very concerned about his injuries, he still insists on being strict and does not favor him.
Even once, after the play ended, he got on the bus of the Military Commission headquarters and was about to go back together, but he was severely stopped and asked Zhu Qi to come down and walk back. Although he came back one step ahead of **, he realized his mistake and apologized to **.
Since then, he has never ridden the bus again. **With strict requirements, teach him to always pay attention and not be special.
Our land reform work is coming to an end, so go back and see Commander-in-Chief Zhu. ”
FigZhao Liping, **Zhu Qi met ** and Kang Keqing for the first time, Zhao Liping's heart was full of nervousness. She knew that ** was the commander-in-chief of the army, Kang Keqing was a famous woman leader, and she was just a small cadre, so she was worried that she would not get along with them.
Despite her nervousness, she went to see them as agreed. When I came to Xibaipo, the house where the chief lived was simple, with only narrow windows. Dressed in faded old military uniforms, with a kind smile on their faces, they are waiting for them.
When Kang Keqing saw them, he warmly greeted them and sat down, and his demeanor was easy-going, which made Zhao Liping feel relaxed. **When asked what his plans are after the land reform work, Zhao Liping has not yet thought about it.
* Advise them to go to a place where the country is in dire need of construction, such as a bank or a railway office. Zhu Qi wanted to go to the railway bureau, but Zhao Liping learned that the bank had enrollment and decided to go to the bank.
* Tell them that they need to learn from scratch when they transfer from the army to the locality, and they must not engage in special activities. Kang Keqing smiled and asked them to have a child earlier, but they soon had their first child, but unfortunately the environment was difficult and the child died.
Zhao Liping went to work at the People's Bank of Shijiazhuang, and Zhu Qi went to the Shijiazhuang Railway Bureau. **'s instructions made Zhu Qi become a trainee, learn from scratch, and later become a train driver.
Zhu Qi was later transferred to the Tianjin Railway Bureau and served as a leader. But he still worked as a driver and often drove locomotives. In the early 50s, ** established a summer resort in Beidaihe, and Zhu Qi could drive a locomotive due to work needs.
Once, he was told to go to the chief's carriage, because he was driving a steam locomotive and he was all black.
Zhu Qi hurriedly went to greet his father**, and as soon as the father and son met, ** said happily: "I didn't expect that I got in the car you drove today." Although Zhu Qi is just a train driver, in the eyes of **, he is extremely proud and proud.
Because he knew that Zhu Qi learned to drive, this was the result of his hard work, and he got it in exchange for his hard work. **The family was never reunited during the war years, and it was not until the founding of the People's Republic of China that they had the opportunity to reunite.
On the National Day in 1949, Zhu Qi and Zhao Liping met ** couple, and the family was reunited. Two years later, Zhao Liping gave birth to a second child, because it was the outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, so the child was named Aid Korea.
* The names of the two children are Aid Korea and Peace, which means that China can end the war as soon as possible and live a peaceful life. In order to make Zhu Qi and his wife work better, ** took the initiative to take the two children to Zhongnanhai and be raised by them personally.
At the same time, ** also took Zhu Qi's sister's two children to Zhongnanhai. In addition, ** also raised a child for each brother's family and brought him to Beijing to study.
In this way, a total of ten children were raised, the oldest of whom was more than ten years old and the youngest was five or six years old. The house in Zhongnanhai has become a children's paradise, with children's laughter every day.
Because there are too many family members, their lives have become a bit tight. In order to save living expenses, ** and Kang Keqing reclaimed a vacant land near the house and planted vegetables or grains.
Sometimes, when I have time, I will take my children to work with me.
Ten years ago, Zhu Qi's family lived happily. At that time, he had no major burdens, his children were raised by his father, his job was stable, and his family was happy. In his spare time, he would go to Zhongnanhai to have dinner with his family, laughing constantly.
At that time, whoever made a specialty dish would invite others to taste it. Sichuan fellow Yang Shangkun and ** have similar tastes, often come to Zhu's house to eat, their cheerfulness and activity, let everyone laugh.
However, the happy days did not last long. In 1959, ** went to Lushan for a meeting, and with Heping, who was still in elementary school, he originally planned to wait for the holiday to play.
But halfway through the meeting, **hit** told them not to come. In 1969, Zhu Qi was sent to Shanxi Wuqi Cadre School to study, and at the end of the year, he was transferred to Hangou Station near Tianjin to become an ordinary warehouse keeper.
This work is very hard, and Zhu Qi's health is getting worse and worse because of it. In 1972, the organization reassigned Zhu Qi to work, but his body had already suffered from a heart attack and had to recuperate at home.
One day in June 1974, Kang Keqing came to visit his sick nephew, and came to see Zhu Qi and his wife by the way. She had a simple meal with them, comforted Zhu Qi to pay attention to her body, and went back to Beijing.
However, on Monday, Zhu Qi suddenly felt unwell, and the comrade rushed him to the hospital, but in the end he passed away without leaving a word. This sudden news made Zhao Liping unbelievable, she cried bitterly, unable to accept her husband's departure.
When her emotions calmed down a little, she told Kang Keqing and other relatives the news of Zhu Qi's death.
The whole family was immersed in an atmosphere of grief, and for the sake of **'s body, they chose to hide him. But they could hide it for a while, but they couldn't hide it for a lifetime, so they had to tell ** that Zhu Qi's condition was aggravated and he was urgently rescued in the hospital.
* After learning about it, my heart was like a knife, I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep well, I always walked around and asked about Zhu Qi's situation. But every time, they couldn't answer these questions, and just said that Zhu Qi was still being rescued.
It wasn't until ten days later that Kang Keqing mustered up the courage to tell ** that Zhu Qi was gone, he had been gone for ten days, and even the memorial service had been done. ** After a moment of silence, he choked up and said: "I am just one of his sons, and it is a pity that he left at a young age." ”
After speaking, he comforted and said: "Be good, be strong, work hard, you can't just fall like this." "This year** is 88 years old, and the loss of his son in his later years is a heavy blow to him.
* Not crushed by grief, he pulled himself together and set his sights on the people and the country. Considering that he had just experienced the loss of his son, the organization wanted to transfer Zhao Liping or a grandson to Beijing to accompany and take care of him, but he refused.
He hoped that they would serve the people wholeheartedly and that they would not need to change jobs for him. This is the feeling of the revolutionaries of the older generation, who at any time always have only the party and the country in their hearts, and have no self at all.
On January 8, 1976, ** died, and the whole of China was immersed in great grief. On this special day, **'s heart is full of deep sorrow and longing.
However, just as the memorial service was about to be held, **'s physical condition was deteriorating. Although he was very reluctant in his heart, his body could not support him to go to the scene, so he could only bid farewell to his friend at home with tears in his eyes***
After his death, the news of his serious illness came again, and his mood was even heavier. However, he did not flinch, regardless of his physical weakness, and increased his workload.
In just two months, he met with foreign guests three times. However, when receiving a foreign guest, an accident happened, and ** unfortunately suffered from a cold. Originally, there was an activity the next day, but ** insisted on attending the activity before going to the doctor.
Under Kang Keqing's persuasion, he was admitted to the hospital. However, the cold triggered complications that eventually led to his sudden death. * has dedicated his whole life to the party, the country and the people, and his children and grandchildren have never reaped any benefits.
Although his son Zhu Qi did not exude a strong light, under the education of **, he also became an upright good cadre and a good son. He deserves to be the son of the best and a valuable asset of China.
