Serving the people all his life, but unwilling to be worshiped by the people One day in 1974, ** was over eighty years old, and accompanied by Zhang Yufeng, Zhou Fuming and others, he set off from Zhongnanhai by special car. When he passed by the Tiananmen Tower, he looked up at his portrait and felt a little unhappy.
He knows that this is the people's love and trust in him, but he has always opposed ***ism, and he feels that China is a country of the people, not a country of his own. When he thought of this, he made a joke to the people in the car and said, "I'm so pitiful, I've been there all day in the wind and rain, and I can't go home yet." ”
When the people in the car heard this, they all laughed, and felt that *** was really humorous, but they could also feel the sadness of ***, they knew that ** had fought for the happiness of the people all his life, he was the leader of the people, and he was also a servant of the people.
Since he was a child, he has been smart and kind, and he cares about his classmates ** childhood was spent in Shaoshan, he has been very hardworking since he was a child, whether it is studying in a private school or herding cattle on the hillside, he has done a good job.
His fellow cattle herders in the same village admired him and said, "Brother Runzhi, you get up so early every time, and the cattle you feed grow so strong." ”
** smiled and said: "This cow is the wealth of our whole family, and we all depend on it for farming." ”
His companions were a little frustrated, they had to herd cattle and pick mushrooms at the same time, but there was always not enough time, and every time they came home, they had to be scolded by their father.
After thinking about it, he said, "I have an idea that allows us to herd cattle and pick mushrooms at the same time." ”
His companions asked curiously, "Brother Runzhi, what do you have in mind?" ”
The young *** said: "We are three of us now, we have three cows, we can put three cows in one person, and the other two people go to pick mushrooms, but the mushrooms picked have to be divided into three equal parts." ”
His buddies thought it was a good idea, so they did what they did, and as a result, they all herded the cows, picked mushrooms, and when they came home, their parents didn't scold them.
Clever from a young age.
Later, when he was 8 years old, he began to study in a private school, and every time he would bring his mother's food to the private school, he gradually discovered that his classmates lived far away and were very poor.
When he saw that they often did not have enough to eat, he would divide his own food among them, but he himself would not have enough to eat.
When his mother found out about this, she cooked him more meals each time and told him to take them to the private school and share them among his classmates. Although at that time, the peasant family was not wealthy, but the mother of *** saw her son's kindness and supported him very much.
In fact, ** has been helpful and kind-hearted since he was a child, and this part was also educated and influenced by his mother, who was his role model.
Determined to serve the people and embark on the road of revolution ** Since he was a child, he has been smart and kind, but his life has not been smooth sailing, there is one thing that deeply traumatized his heart, and also made him have the ambition of "serving the people" for the first time.
In 1910, when there was a riot in Changsha, Hunan Province, flooded everywhere and the people were hungry and cold, the local tycoons and businessmen refused to help, but instead hoarded and raised the price of grain.
Many peasants could not afford to buy food, some starved to death on the side of the road, some committed suicide by jumping into the river, and later some peasants spontaneously went to the yamen to complain, but they were caught by the yamen people and beaten to the point that the skin and flesh were broken, and the city of Changsha was in chaos.
This incident shocked ***, he couldn't turn a blind eye to this matter, he felt that these poor people were his compatriots, they were cornered by the local rich and businessmen, and they just wanted to get help from the government, but they were treated cruelly.
** He thinks that he is also one of these poor people, and if he does not do something for them, then he will also be oppressed by the feudal forces in the future.
Later, whenever *** recalled this incident, he would say, "This incident affected my whole life." ”
Since then, ** has made "serving the people" his creed, and later, he really did it.
In 1911, ** left Shaoshan and went to Changsha to study. Although he was young, he loved to read, and when he went to Changsha to study, he also brought his own collection of books.
He read books such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin", and found that the characters in the books, whether literati or military generals, were all from peasant backgrounds.
And the book also portrays these characters as the leaders of the peasants, who saw the injustice of feudal society. The oppression and exploitation of the poor people by the society that I have seen and experienced with my own eyes have made me more determined to embark on the revolutionary road of asking for the people's lives.
The road was full of hardships and dangers, but he was not afraid.
Later, ** joined the revolution and has always taken the people as his goal.
