year, Liu Yuan invited Li Min and Li Ne to gather, and Wang Guangmei instructed: Friendship from generation to generation
On a June 2004 evening, a lit Chinese restaurant in Beijing was undergoing an ordinary family gathering. During the meeting, an elder motioned for his juniors to raise their glasses, and before drinking together, he affectionately said to them, "Take care of yourselves!" ”
Although it was an ordinary family gathering, some ordinary people thought that this gathering was not ordinary due to the report of **. Because the party was attended by the family of the chairman and the chairman, the families of the two great men got together, and this scene made people cry.
This gathering was initiated by the old man Wang Guangmei, as the wife of Comrade ***, she has experienced too many setbacks in her life, but she still faces all difficulties with an attitude of revolutionary optimism.
She called the children this time in the hope that they could unite and help each other.
I am old, and I hope you will love you from generation to generation! "At the end of the party, Wang Guangmei looked at the juniors with satisfaction, and her heart was full of expectations for the future.
Her eyes seemed to go back to that distant era, the moment when her husband *** and *** fought side by side. The loyal friendship of my fathers is so profound and precious.
** The wedding with Wang Guangmei was held in a cave in Yan'an in 1948. On that day, Commander-in-Chief Zhu and Vice Chairman Zhou came to their homes and sent them their best wishes.
Seeing that *** has found a home in life, **The joy in my heart is overflowing. It's an affectionate story, an eternal friendship.
** and *** friendship began with a wedding in 1922. At that time, ** had just returned from studying in the Soviet Union and came to Changsha Qingshuitang to participate in the revolution. ** is the secretary of the Executive Committee of the Hunan District of the Communist Party of China, and the two met for the first time in Changsha.
Due to their shared revolutionary ideals and beliefs, as well as their similar age, their relationship quickly became closer. During that time, they often met to discuss, and there were endless topics ranging from Marxism to the workers' and peasants' movement.
In a small talk, **learned that *** was not married, so he took the initiative to talk about the matchmaker for him.
** The couple's home was once a haven for the revolutionary woman He Baozhen, a talented woman with a university degree. ** thought that they had many common topics, so they and Yang Kaihui facilitated the marriage of *** and He Baozhen.
This marriage has made the relationship between *** and *** closer. On the subsequent revolutionary road, he always supported the strategic thinking of the company, and he also appreciated the rigor and seriousness of the company.
By 1943, both of them had become the first secretary of the Communist Party of China, and they cooperated more tacitly.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, during his tenure as vice president of the People's Republic of China, he has been his right-hand man, and the two have a very close working relationship. It is rumored that ** has said many times: "If you don't study for three days, you won't be able to catch up."
Both families live in Zhongnanhai, and during the festive season, the two families get together for dinner, and the children play together, forming a strong friendship. The relationship between the two families is like a relative, **In addition to work, they often visit ***'s house as a guest, and they don't need to make an appointment in advance every time they arrive.
**I was very happy to see *** children enthusiastically calling him Uncle Mao. He took the children's hands and encouraged them to study hard and contribute to the country.
These heartwarming scenes always moved Wang Guangmei to tears in her later years, and she always considered herself the only elder of the two families. In early 1979, Wang Guangmei returned to Beijing.
Maybe it's because of her long-term follow-up *** or maybe it's her own tenacious character, she hasn't been defeated by setbacks, but has become stronger. She is determined to continue to educate her children and inherit the best family style.
Liu Yuan grew up under the strict education of *** since he was a child, and he was not allowed to mention his name even in school, and his eating standards were the same as those of other classmates. At the age of 14, ** sent him to the army in order to exercise his physical fitness.
In the all-army competition in the sixties, Liu Yuan won the title of special marksman with years of hard training and was selected as the national flag guard. Subsequently, he responded to the call of the country and went to the countryside to join the queue, and was also recognized by the villagers for his hard-working and hard-working attitude.
When he left, the villagers he helped wept and expressed their deep gratitude to them.
After Wang Guangmei returned to Beijing, she paid more attention to Liu Yuan's education, and she repeatedly advised her son to be down-to-earth and do more things that were beneficial to society and the masses. At the same time, she has also been paying attention to ***'s children, because now the eldest of the two families is left with herself, and she hopes to continue the friendship between the two families.
For every child, Wang Guangmei asks for this and does so. When Wang Guangmei first returned to Beijing, she heard an old friend say that her daughter Li Ne has been immersed in grief due to the death of her father, and her body and spirit have been hit hard, she frequently goes to the hospital and rarely goes to work, and her life is very difficult.
Wang Guangmei did not have a moment to rest, and immediately took Aunt Zhao, the nanny at home, to the market to buy pots and pans and other daily necessities, and came to Li Ne's house to cook for her and talk with her.
Under Wang Guangmei's careful care, Li Ne quickly recovered and shouted "Guangmei Mother" with gratitude, which is the name of Li Ne's generation for relatives and friends.
Later, after the matchmaking of the guards Li Yinqiao and his wife, Li Ne and Wang Jingqing became husband and wife. On the day of the wedding, Wang Guangmei came to the house again and sent her blessings, and the relationship between the two families became deeper.
Wang Guangmei rarely mentions family matters such as taking care of Li Min and Li Ne in public, and she is convinced that it is her duty as a mother. Her actions deeply affected her child Liu Yuan, so that he and ***'s children have always maintained a deep friendship.
On October 18, 1996, while inspecting the Three Gorges Project, Liu Yuan suddenly received a letter signed by Li Ne. It turned out that Li Ne heard that Liu Yuan was working on the Three Gorges Project, so he asked someone to write him a letter, hoping to meet him.
After Liu Yuan saw the letter, he smiled.
After Liu Yuan's work was completed, he immediately came to his sister Li Ne. One is the daughter of ***, the other is the son of ***, and the descendants of the two great men hugged each other tightly as soon as they met.
The surrounding staff were all moved to see this scene, and their eyes were moist. Li Ne held Liu Yuan's hand and said excitedly: "When I was a child, I liked Yuanyuan the most, you were so good-looking at that time, and now you are a general!" ”
Liu Yuan smiled, his smile was simple, as if everything from yesterday was vivid. It turned out that when Liu Yuan was a child, Li Ne also lived in Zhongnanhai, and she often ran to ***'s house after school and took Liu Yuan out to play.
Li Ne likes this younger brother very much, and every time her younger brother asks, she will try her best to meet it. Now, seeing that his younger brother has become a pillar of the country, Li Ne showed a relieved smile, and Liu Yuan not only often visited his sister, but also cared about the marriage of Li Ne's son Wang Xiaozhi.
Liu Yuan, as the only nephew of Li Ne and Wang Jingqing, naturally received Liu Yuan's careful care when he reached the marriageable age. As Li Ne's younger brother, Liu Yuan took the initiative to be a matchmaker for Wang Xiaozhi, and after being busy at the wedding, he warmly entertained the relatives and friends of the Mao family with Li Ne, which made all the guests feel very satisfied.
At the wedding scene, Liu Yuan remembered the intimate relationship between the Mao and Liu families when he was a child, and couldn't help but shed tears of emotion. He stood on the stage, moved with emotion, and said calmly: "Today, if the two old people of *** and *** have spirits in the sky and see our two families holding such a grand wedding party, we will definitely be happy for us, we will be proud of having such descendants, and we will definitely be 'changing the world and now again', and 'tears are pouring down'!" ”
Liu Yuan's words are full of nostalgia for the past and hope for the future, which is deeply moving.
One night in June 2004, Ms. Wang Guangmei summoned her son, Liu Yuan, to a rare family gathering when she was 83 years old. At this gathering, Liu Yuan said many touching things, and the atmosphere at the scene was warm and touching.
Among them, Kong Dongmei, the granddaughter of **, was so excited that she trotted all the way to Liu Yuan's side, gave him a thumbs up, and whispered: "Uncle Liu Yuan, you are awesome!" ”
Such a scene made the people at the scene feel deeply warm, and also made people feel the intimate relationship between the descendants of the great man.
Liu Yuan looked at his mother Wang Guangmei, and his heart was full of happiness and regret. He knew that his mother had paid a lot for his own growth, and he also understood that she always thought about Li Min and Li Ne in her heart.
So, he seriously promised his mother: "I will arrange the time and prepare in advance so that our family can get together." ”
Liu Yuan communicated with the two sisters one by one, and as soon as they heard that it was the invitation sent by Guangmei's mother, they agreed without hesitation. One evening a few days later, the two families met for dinner at a restaurant in Beijing.
This night, because Wang Guangmei missed the children, she was accompanied by her son Liu Yuan to the hotel very early. After sitting down, she instructed Liu Yuan to go to the door to greet her. The first to arrive was Li Min, who was 68 years old but appeared to be in good health, followed by her daughter, Kong Dongmei.
Liu Yuan saw Li Min and Li Ne's mother and daughter coming, and hurriedly stepped forward, shook hands with Li Min with joy on his face, and said excitedly: "Sister, you are here, how are you doing lately?" ”
Li Min smiled and replied, "Okay, everything is fine." A few days ago, Li Ne and I went to visit Guangmei's mother, and when we saw that she was in good health, we were in a very good mood. ”
Just as they were chatting happily, Wang Jingqing, who was Li Ne's husband, also came over. Speaking of Wang Jingqing, he still has a special fate with Liu Yuan's family.
It turned out that Wang Jingqing once served as the security secretary of ***, and Liu Yuan was often taken care of by him when he was a child. This time, Li Ne also brought his son Wang Xiaozhi over, and Liu Yuan's love for this nephew was beyond words.
The group came to the private room, under the leadership of Liu Yuan and Liu Tingting. At this time, a voice came from the door, Wang Guangmei stood up, and beside her was Zhao Shujun, a nanny who had been taking care of the family for many years.
Zhao Shujun has been taking care of children since 1958, and it has been nearly half a century. When Li Min and Li Ne saw Wang Guangmei, they immediately walked over and shook hands with her excitedly.
Wang Guangmei smiled happily when she saw the healthy appearance of the children. Then, they shook hands with Zhao Shujun and thanked her for her companionship and care over the years. The family got together and chatted happily for more than two hours.
Although Wang Guangmei felt a little tired, she still smiled. Towards the end of the party, she motioned for everyone to raise their glasses and drink together, and said sincerely: "I am old, and I hope you will be friendly for generations." ”
The children nodded their heads and drank the wine in their glasses, and everything was silent. We have reason to believe that the friendship between the Mao and Liu families will last for a long time.
On October 13, 2006, Wang Guangmei died of illness in Beijing 305 Hospital, at the funeral, Li Min and Li Ne saw her off, the two sisters looked at Wang Guangmei's portrait, crying silently, Li Ne instructed his son: "Help Uncle Liu Yuan take care of everything." ”
The friendship between the two families has not weakened because of Wang Guangmei's death, but has become deeper. In the days that followed, Liu Yuan often invited everyone to have dinner together, reminiscing about the good old days and talking about their lives.
In 2008, Liu Yuan took Wang Xiaozhi to his hometown in Hunan to participate in the commemorative activities, and the next morning, they went to Shaoshan to present a flower basket to ***.
A year later, Liu Yuan organized Kong Dongmei, Wang Xiaozhi and others to go to Xibaipo to visit the former residence where their fathers had worked, and to express their deep admiration for the great man by paying tribute to the great man's achievements.
Year after year, Mao Xinyu, the grandson of **, was promoted to major general, and Liu Yuan personally handed over the order of the military rank to Mao Xinyu and congratulated him. ......After many years, the descendants of the two families have never broken off contact, and the reason why they rarely attract attention is that they always keep in mind the teachings of their parents, keep a low profile, and do everything in a down-to-earth manner, without any publicity, because they have long regarded each other as family.
In the past, the friendship between ** and *** was as solid as a rock, and now, the friendship between future generations is the same, and this inheritance is worth learning from.
