A great leader of the people, his birthplace and place of growth is in Huai'an. There he spent 12 years of his youth, which are the most precious memories of his life.
Even after joining the revolution, he never returned there, but his heart always cared about his parents and fellow villagers in Huai'an. In 1946, when *** led a delegation of the Communist Party of China to settle in Meiyuan New Village, Nanjing, the distance between him and Huai'an seemed to have become closer.
He once offered to return to Huai'an, where the graves of his two mothers were located. However, this wish has never been realized. It wasn't until 1961 that ** met his own relative, his younger sister, at a meeting, 50 years after they last met.
**In 1946, he had the idea of returning to his hometown, and later after the victory of the Liberation War, he expressed this desire again. However, for the CCP leaders, the founding of the People's Republic of China was not the end, but a new beginning.
With a large number of transactions to attend to every day, this hectic state continued until he was seriously ill.
In January 1959, the special plane taken by ** took off from Guangzhou and flew to the capital Beijing. When the plane was about to fly over Huai'an, the prime minister entered the cockpit and said to the captain: "Please lower the altitude, I want to see my hometown." ”
This move fully expresses his deep attachment to his hometown. For Chinese, returning home is the most primitive emotion in their hearts. However, for the cause of the liberation of the Chinese people and the construction of socialism, ** buried this sincere feeling deep in the bottom of my heart.
Although his wish to return to his hometown was not realized, the people of his hometown have deep respect and nostalgia for him. **It has always been the pride of the people of Huai'an.
Despite being in a foreign country, ** still keeps in touch with some relatives back home. Chen Xiuyun is the daughter of the fourteenth aunt of ***, more than ten years younger than the prime minister, and is considered to be ***'s cousin.
In 1908, **'s biological mother and adoptive mother died one after another, at this time, *** had already embarked on the road to study, and his two younger brothers were left unattended, so the six-year-old brother was handed over to Chen Xiuyun to take care of.
Despite his high position, he was very kind to his relatives. When Wang Lanfang fell ill, ** took the initiative to bear her medical expenses, and took out 50 yuan from her salary every month for her to use.
And in 1961, he also went to Huai'an to visit his cousin, reflecting his pro-people side.
In August 1961, ** attended an important meeting in Lushan. In order to take care of the leaders who were tired of traveling, the conference life group specially arranged a weekend ball.
The venue is located in the auditorium of the Lushan Sanatorium on the bank of the Changchong River. On Saturday night, a crowd of people, including key leaders such as ***, gathered in the ballroom. In order to hold this dance party, the actresses of the Jiangxi Provincial Agricultural Reclamation Art Troupe and local cadres who love dancing have come to help.
At that time, dance was not only a medium for social interaction, but also an important activity for the daily entertainment of cadres. In the Lushan Administration, a young woman danced with ***, and when she saw this once distant leader suddenly appear in front of her, she felt very nervous, and she didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
However, in the cheerful atmosphere, ** seemed very cheerful, he saw the tension in the other party's heart, so he took the initiative to break the deadlock: "Good dancing, what's your name?" ”
Hearing the Prime Minister's inquiry, she replied without hesitation: "Prime Minister, my name is Chen Zhenhua. The Prime Minister went on to ask: "Where do you work?" ”
After listening to Chen Zhenhua's introduction of her work in the Lushan Administration, the Prime Minister smiled and encouraged her to continue speaking. Seeing that the prime minister was so approachable and emboldened, Chen Zhenhua raised his own questions.
The prime minister heard Chen Zhenhua mention a person's nickname"Kuroko"Later, he was suddenly stunned, and this familiar name made him feel a warm current of hometown surging into his heart.
Wan Zhen, the cousin of **, is affectionately called "Kuroko" by the family because of her darker. Back then, ** played with Wanzhen and spent a happy childhood.
In 1907, ** began to study in a private school, but his grandmother thought that girls did not need to study, depriving Wanzhen of the opportunity to study. ** Deeply unfair, after his hard work, Wan Zhen finally has a chance to go back to school.
Behind this, is the best respect for education and the pursuit of equality, but also shows his indomitable personality and courage to fight for the spirit.
When I was a child, I had excellent academic performance and was able to compose poems before I was ten years old. However, his cousin Kuroko's learning ability is relatively weak, and she doesn't think it's the material for learning.
Later, due to family changes, ** returned to Huai'an with his two younger brothers and reunited with childhood friends like Wan Zhen, and they talked about everything. In 1910, when Wan Zhen knew that her brother was going to school, she took the initiative to pick up a needle and thread and sew a pair of socks for her brother.
She is a loving girl who is passionate about helping others, but after her brother left home, she never returned to her hometown of Huai'an, after which she accepted the words of the matchmaker and married a Jiangxi man.
Although they did not have children after marriage, before their husband's death, they adopted her husband's nephew as an adopted son and changed his name to Kuroko. My cousin had heard the story of her brother, but because of her low education, she didn't fully understand why her brother had been wandering away for many years and didn't come home.
It wasn't until the founding of New China that Wan Zhen realized that the brother who left home with the socks she had sewn with her own hands had now become the leader of the country.
Although Wan Zhen has now moved to Lushan, Jiangxi Province with her heirs, she has never thought of going to her brother, she just wants to live her own small life. **Hearing the news at the dance, he was also very touched, he hurriedly pulled Chen Zhenhua to the lounge and asked her: "Zhenhua, do you know the whereabouts of the sunspot?"
Where is she now? Chen Zhenhua looked at *** so anxious, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly answered his question.
In the summer of 1959, ** held a meeting in Lushan, but he did not receive a visit from Kuroko's cousin and his family. Chen Zhenhua explained that they may have been afraid to disturb ***'s work because they were afraid to disturb him.
At this time, *** was full of thoughts, thinking that 50 years had passed since he left his hometown at the age of 13 and 1961, and he didn't know how this little cousin was doing.
From the brother's point of view, he was indeed at fault.
When Chen Zhenhua was working in the office, she suddenly received a letter from the Public Security Bureau, and after confirming her identity, she was told that the prime minister was going to visit her mother at her home today and asked them to wait at home.
Chen Zhenhua didn't expect things to come so suddenly, she immediately asked the leader for leave and hurried home. In the afternoon, the prime minister, accompanied by his secretary, went to the botanical garden first, and met Zhong Zezhu as soon as he entered the staff dormitory.
Zhong Zezhu couldn't believe his eyes, because the big people who appeared every day on the radio were now standing in front of him.
Seventh brother, we are old, it is so rare to see each other again in Lushan! The prime minister's simple words evoked many of their common memories, they had gone to school together, they went home together, they left their hometown to study, and the socks on their feet were hand-sewn by Kuroko's cousin.
Wan Zhen was overly excited after reuniting with Seventh Brother and suddenly became unwell. The prime minister hurriedly called the secretary to contact the doctor, and soon Wan Zhen woke up. The two recalled all kinds of things in their hometown, and although half a century had passed, the memories of the past resurfaced little by little.
Wan Zhen is simple by nature and not good at words, so Zhong Zezhu is on the side to help her answer and pass the word. ** was very interested in the things of his hometown, so he asked Zhong Zezhu how he got to Huai'an.
The other party immediately responded: "I went with my mother, and I still remember that there are three ** doors in Horse Lane, and there are stone piers at the door." The prime minister immediately waved his hand and explained that the house had caused him a lot of trouble.
In fact, after the liberation of the country, everyone knew that the house had been the residence of the prime minister, so they repaired it before and after. After learning of this, the prime minister was very displeased, and it was inappropriate to use ** to repair his personal residence.
In addition, the Prime Minister mentioned one reason why he has not returned to his hometown.
Known for his impartiality, he believed that he would return to his hometown only when everyone's quality of life improved. When he talked about this topic, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to the secretary: "When we go back to Beijing, let's send some money to our hometown too." ”
However, Zhong Zezhu hurriedly excused himself and said: "Seventh uncle, you don't have to bother, Zhenhua and I both have jobs, and our lives are okay, so we can take care of our mother." ”
In 1961, natural disasters were severe, and many people were living in difficulty. Zhong Zezhu deeply felt that the prime minister cared about the people, so he may decide to send some money back. He quickly took out a large bag of potatoes from under the bed for *** to see, and explained.
** showed great interest in this, walked to the window to look at the vegetable patch outside, and taught Zhong Zezhu a few good ways to grow crops.
Wan Zhen sat on the side, quietly watching the happy conversation between the long-missed seventh brother and his son, with a kind smile on his face and a heart full of satisfaction.
The meeting with Kuroko's cousin lasted almost an hour and a half. When Chen Zhenhua tried to pour water for the prime minister for the third time, the prime minister stood up and said, "Don't waste boiling water, we should go." ”
When parting, the corners of the prime minister's eyes were slightly red, and he held Wan Zhen's hand tightly again.
Wan Zhen couldn't hold back her tears when the car disappeared from view, and she reluctantly said, "I'll look here until the car disappears completely." After returning to his residence, he immediately asked his health care doctor Bian Zhiqiang if there was any medicine to help him get rid of Wan Zhen's illness, but Bian Zhiqiang's answer was: "She has epilepsy and can only take some sedative medicine." ”
** Sighing helplessly, it seems that this disease can only go with the flow. For Kuroko's cousin, being able to see Brother Qi again already made her feel very satisfied, and she knew that her brother was the pride of Huai'an.
