At the ashes interment ceremony, Mr. Lao She's widow Hu Jieqing grabbed Deng Yingchao and said, "If Enlai is still alive, he will be the first to come today!" The two have formed a deep friendship in their decades-long relationship.
** Lao She's name was often mentioned before his death, and he missed Lao She very much. Mr. Lao She and his wife Hu Jieqing were both Manchus and had a common literary hobby, and the two got married in 1931 and had three daughters and one son after marriage.
At the interment ceremony of Mr. Lao She's ashes, Deng Yingchao was the first to come to the scene, she said: "I will follow whoever really resists the war, I am a resistant." ”
Fig**'s eldest daughter Shu Ji, because she was born in Jinan, took the single name "Ji", but this word is very complicated in the era of traditional characters, which has brought trouble to her learning.
Lao She learned from the experience of his eldest daughter and gave his son the name with the fewest strokes - Shu Yi. Subsequently, the second daughter was called Shu Yu, and the third daughter was called Shu Li. Shuji has become a model of "sacrificing one of me and making thousands of families happy".
Judging from the naming matter, Lao She is not only not a stuffy gourd, but very humorous. Fan Jun is the deputy director of the Modern Literature Research Office of the Institute of Literature of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, who has studied Lao She for many years, and he believes that without humor, there would be no Lao She, and he would not have been able to achieve such achievements and status in the history of literature.
Although most people think Lao She is humorous, his son Shu Yi believes that his father is a contradiction in life. He spends most of his time writing with his head down, very serious and closed-minded, but whenever someone comes, he becomes very active, approachable, and warm.
It can be said that Lao She is a person who is full of life interest and ideals.
Lao She was born in 1899 and is a Manchu, his father died during the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and his mother raised him alone. Despite the hardships of life, Lao She was admitted to the publicly-funded Beijing Normal School, and worked in the education field for a period of time, serving as a primary school principal and persuading students.
However, he quit his well-paid job and chose to continue teaching at school, showing his strong temperament. He engaged in education as well as writing, eventually resigning from his professorship to write full-time.
In August 1937, Lao She taught at Qilu University, but soon he ushered in the most important turning point in his life. On March 27, 1938, he was elected as the executive director and director of the General Affairs Department of the All-China Association of Literary and Art Circles to Resist the Enemy, responsible for the leadership of the association.
** is the honorary director of the "Literary Association", and the establishment of the "Literary Association" is inseparable from the efforts of the Communist Party of China.
Lao She, the voice and actions of a patriot. From 1937 to 1938, people from the cultural circles of the whole country gathered in Wuhan and instructed Yang Hansheng to prepare and organize the All-China Association of Literary and Art Circles to Resist the Enemy.
Yang Hansheng advocated the establishment of the "Literary Association" in his personal name, which was responded to by all parties, and he was ready to invite Lao She to come forward to preside over the work of the "Literary Association". Although Lao She had no intersection with the Communist Party and the Kuomintang before, he resolutely agreed with a patriotic heart.
**Although he is busy with work, he still often goes to the "Literary Association" to guide the work, and has established a deep friendship with Lao She. However, during Lao She's lecture in the United States, the situation in China changed dramatically.
On July 6, 1949, the National Congress of Literary and Artistic Workers was held in Beijing, and he said with emotion: "Now Mr. Lao She is alone, and he must be invited back to China no matter what." “
During his time in the United States, Lao She always paid attention to the situation at home, and his heart was always closely connected with the motherland.
FigLao She and his family took care of Lao She's warm invitation from 20 old friends such as Guo Moruo and Mao Dun after the end of the Literary and Art Workers' Congress, hoping that he could return to China.
At the same time, the Kuomintang side was also inviting him, and even found him a job and a place to live in Taiwan. Despite this, Lao She only said one sentence: "I'm lonely, I really miss home, I really miss my country." ”
Lao She suffered from sciatica and his condition worsened, but after receiving a letter from China, he decided to return to China. On October 13, 1949, he returned to China on the cruise ship "Wilson**", and returned to Beijing on December 12 after 24 days of drifting at sea.
Lao She has been away from his hometown for many years and has been troubled by his unfamiliarity with domestic life.
However, the encouragement and support of the Prime Minister gave him the confidence to create new works that reflect the life of the country. After returning to China, he published articles on his attitude towards the United States, and actively created excellent works such as "Longxugou" and "Teahouse", and was praised as a "people's artist".
He has twice given Lao She's drama "Teahouse" and has been highly praised in his later works. He believes that young people should understand the darkness of the old society, but it is not enough to reason alone, and to deepen their understanding through practical experience.
According to ***'s instructions, Lao She revised the script, but *** still thought it was not enough, and suggested choosing a historically representative event to supplement it.
Unfortunately, neither ** nor Lao She was able to fulfill this wish. In addition to giving guidance on creation, ** has a very close personal relationship with Lao She.
Lao She has participated in *** family banquets in Zhongnanhai many times, and the friendship between the two is not superficial, but based on in-depth understanding. **Understand Lao She's character, the two care about each other and never stick to politeness.
Once, ** presided over a symposium of cultural workers in Ziguang Pavilion, and Lao She put forward the idea of going to Shihezi Junken Farm in Xinjiang to experience life. Although he understands Lao She's wishes, he is worried that he will not be able to adapt to the harsh environment of the frontier, considering Lao She's age and physical condition.
He suggested that Lao She could choose a closer place to experience, or just take a look and see, without really squatting.
When Lao She and Luo Changpei's words just fell, ** interrupted others to speak, showing some impolite behavior. But then he realized his mistake and sincerely apologized and asked others to continue speaking.
Lao She felt a little helpless about this, he smiled and said, "I've finished speaking, there is nothing more to say." This sentence made everyone present laugh.
Lao She rarely lost his temper on weekdays, but once he was drunk, it was when the Sino-Korean Friendship Association hosted a banquet to entertain North Korean friends, which left a deep impression on Hu Jieqing.
Lao She is the vice president of the China-North Korea Friendship Association, and he has also been to North Korea and wrote**, so he has many friends there. At that banquet, Lao She was very happy to see his friends, so he drank a lot of wine while being excited, and ended up drunk unconscious.
I heard that he was drunk, so I called him over and criticized him. After returning home, Lao She said to his wife Hu Jieqing: "Today I was criticized. Since then, Lao She has never been drunk.
Although Lao She was drunk, he did not forget his duties and courtesy, which is worth learning from.
FigLao She and his wife Hu Jieqing also have a time to be honest with Lao She. At a meeting of the National People's Congress, he put forward his own ideas: "There are too many meetings, which take up my writing time, and I hope to be relieved of some part-time social work so that I can have more time to write scripts." “
**After learning of this, he specially emphasized at the CPPCC meeting: "Comrade Lao She once made a request to me at a National People's Congress, hoping that I could spare some time for him to carry out professional work.
We should pay more attention to this part of the comrades and not let them work too hard. "One day in 1959, ** came to Lao She's home to visit, and saw Hu Jieqing when he entered the door.
In Shu Yi's memory, his father Lao She has a deep friendship with Prime Minister ***. **I have always paid attention to Lao She's physical condition, even in the busy work, I did not forget to ask about Lao She's condition, and asked Hu Jieqing to report in time.
Although Lao She is usually serious when he creates, his conversation with *** is full of fun, and the two have been chatting until late.
**I know Lao She best, even in a special era, Lao She encountered an unwarranted disaster and came to the end of his life, but he still remembered the general idea. However, Lao She did not escape the doom after all, ** After learning the news, he was emotional, and he said to the staff: "Mr. Lao She fell into this field, how can I explain it to the society?" ”
On the National Day of 1966, he happened to meet Wang Kunlun, then the deputy mayor of Beijing, asked him about Lao She, and entrusted him to visit Lao She.
A few months later, Wang Kunlun met Lao She's wife Hu Jieqing on the street and relayed ***'s concern, Hu Jieqing deeply felt the premier's care and wrote a letter to express his gratitude.
Although Hu Jieqing was busy with work in her later years, she always cared about her safety, so that she could be relieved in a special era. Although ***'s health is deteriorating, he always remembers what happened to Lao She.
During his illness, he asked the medical staff what day it was, and after learning that it was Lao She's death, he held a ceremony for Lao She's ashes. Two and a half years later, Lao She's ashes were solemnly interbedded.
Mr. Lao She, a well-known patriotic writer, is deeply loved by the broad masses of the people and enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad. Mr. Mao Dun, chairman of the Chinese Writers Association, delivered a eulogy, and Mr. Ba Jin also wrote an article in the newspaper to mourn him.
On the day of the memorial service, Ms. Deng Yingchao deliberately arrived at the scene in advance and attended the ceremony on behalf of ***. After Lao She died, Hu Jieqing never cried happily, but after listening to Deng Yingchao's words, the tears could no longer be controlled and fell one after another.
Hu Jieqing, a famous painter in modern times, is Mrs. Lao She, and the two have been in love with each other for 35 years. Before marriage, they made three promises: first, they must be able to endure hardships and suffer crimes; Second, we must be able to endure hardships and learn a specialty; Third, do not quarrel, and let the husband and wife be harmonious.
The day after the wedding, they made another agreement: "If you see me sitting there silent, smoking, don't pay attention to me, I am thinking, I am not awkward with you, I hope you don't disturb me." “
Their married life has always been harmonious, and they have never quarreled over a trivial matter, and their sincere emotions are enviable.
