Introduction In 2006, when Liu Tao and his sister Liu Pingping were interviewed together, recalling the bits and pieces of their childhood, both of them were full of emotion. "Pingping, do you remember one time when we had a very bad quarrel, even to the point of hysteria, and at that time I told you that you were not my own sister? ”
Liu Tao suddenly asked. "I remember that I felt very aggrieved at that time, and I went to my mother to ask for an understanding. Liu Pingping recalled the past and couldn't help but laugh a little.
From left: Tingting, Liu Aiqin, Wang Guangmei, Liu Tao When recalling their mother Wang Guangmei, the eyes of the Liu Tao sisters flashed with tears. That experience made them deeply feel the selfless love and hard work of their mothers.
So, how does Wang Guangmei take care of these children? (1) As a first-time mother, Liu Tao did his best to meet his mother Wang Guangmei for the first time on the wedding day of his father *** in August 1948.
When she first met Wang Guangmei, Liu Tao was attracted by her beauty and youth, but there was a special emotion in her heart. When Liu Tao was two years old, her mother Wang Qian divorced her father, and she and her younger brother Liu Ding have been living with their father.
Although she has always been cared for by her father and the staff around her, motherly love is indispensable for young children. And the appearance of Wang Guangmei brought new hope to the lives of Liu Tao's sisters and brothers.
In fact, Wang Guangmei already knew about the situation before she got married, and she decided to do her best to take care of his children.
At the moment of the wedding ceremony, Wang Guangmei received the answer she was most looking forward to in her life. The voice came from Liu Tao's sister and brother, slightly shy and nervous"Mom", which made her heart extremely relieved.
She held Liu Tao and Liu Ding's hands tightly, firmly promising that she would do her best to take care of them so that they didn't have to be afraid. Wang Guangmei is a person who does what she says, and her commitment and actions complement each other.
Although she may be a first-time mother and may be a little inexperienced, Wang Guangmei has warmed her children over and over again with her broad love and broad mind. In Liu Tao's memory, his father is usually serious and serious, while his mother Wang Guangmei is completely different, she is full of energy and sunshine.
The different ways of love from his parents have brought complementary love to Liu Tao and his siblings.
Wang Guangmei loves her eldest daughter Liu Tao very much, no matter when and where, she always leaves her the best. Despite the limited economic conditions of the family, Wang Guangmei can always skillfully make careful calculations to make Liu Tao's sisters and brothers feel happy.
Every time she heard the call of "Taotao, Taotao" outside the door, Liu Tao knew what surprise her mother would bring her. Once, Wang Guangmei took Liu Tao to the mall by bicycle, Liu Tao looked at the flower fabrics carefully selected by her mother, she wanted to save money and look good, and she realized that her mother wanted to make a new dress for her.
This is Wang Guangmei's maternal love, meticulous and full of warmth.
Liu Tao, as the most favored of the children of the Liu family, was dressed as beautiful as a princess by his mother. She once said: "My mom really dotes on me, not to mention the clothes, because I'm the biggest, I always wear new clothes first, and I ride all the new bikes first." ”
However, despite being pampered, her mother Wang Guangmei maintained a clear line between education and love, and always handled the matter according to itself, never spoiling the children too much.
When Liu Tao was studying, although the family had a car, Wang Guangmei had already told them: "This is a bus, which can only be used when traveling on official business, and cannot be used for any personal private affairs, even if it is sick, it cannot be picked up by public car." ”
The special circumstance of deducting travel fuel expenses from Wang Guangmei's salary made Liu Tao deeply understand the clear distinction between public and private when he was young. Even when she was sick and had difficulty walking, she did not borrow a bus from her mother.
In the hearts of the children, their mother Wang Guangmei is always kind and warm, and rarely loses her temper, which also makes them learn to tolerate. This harmonious, warm and mutually helpful family atmosphere makes children feel endless love, and also allows them to know how to respond to others with love and warmth in their interactions with others.
When Liu Tao was in adolescence, he may have been a little sensitive and fragile in his heart. Due to his age, Liu Tao is worried that his sister Liu Pingping will snatch Wang Guangmei's love for him. However, Wang Guangmei's behavior reassured Liu Tao.
Even though Liu Pingping was born and grew up, Wang Guangmei's care and love for her never diminished. If someone asks Liu Pingping which child in the family is most favored by her mother Wang Guangmei, she will not hesitate to say: "Sister Liu Tao." ”
All this is due to the appropriate handling of her mother Wang Guangmei, so that the relationship between Liu Pingping and her sister Liu Tao has always been very harmonious.
Liu Pingping: In the process of getting along with children, friction is unavoidable. Once, the sisters got into an argument over a trivial matter. Liu Tao was impulsive and said to his sister Liu Pingping: "You are not my own sister, I don't like you." ”
After Liu Pingping heard this, he went to find his mother Wang Guangmei with tears in his eyes. When Wang Guangmei saw her daughter's sad appearance, she immediately squatted down and hugged her, comforting her and saying, "It's not true, my sister is just angry with you, you and my sister are my good daughters." ”
After receiving his mother's understanding, Liu Tao was in a good mood and left grateful. Subsequently, Wang Guangmei found Liu Tao and asked what happened. After understanding the whole story, Wang Guangmei did not show a trace of blame, but comforted her in a gentle tone: "Taotao, you are like my own daughter in my heart, no different from my sister." ”
Mom never told her younger siblings that you weren't Mom's own daughter, and they always treated you as a real sister. "So, don't say that to your sister next time, okay?" ”
Liu Tao also deeply regretted after saying that, so after hearing Wang Guangmei's comfort, he was both self-blaming and moved.
At that moment, Liu Tao learned that Wang Guangmei had been hiding his identity. Since then, the secret has not been mentioned again. Whenever he recalled the bits and pieces of that period, Liu Tao couldn't help but shed tears, and deeply sighed how thoughtful Wang Guangmei took care of them back then, and how difficult it was to ......In October 2006, Wang Guangmei was 85 years old, completely different from her mother in childhood memories.
At this time, she was lying on the bed, her face was pale and she looked very weak. Looking at Wang Guangmei's appearance, Liu Tao was grief-stricken, looked at her with moist eyes, walked to the side of the bed, held Wang Guangmei's hand, and said softly: "Mom, are you okay......”
On October 13, Wang Guangmei passed away due to illness, leaving behind a Liu Tao who missed her deeply. Although Liu Tao can never see Guangmei's mother again, her mother's love will always remain in her heart.
Raise me to grow up, I will send you to the end, although it is not a biological mother and daughter, but the relationship is better than my own. This is a true portrayal of the deep relationship between Liu Tao and Wang Guangmei's mother and daughter.
Wang Guangmei's love and maternal love came from the ears and eyes of her father Wang Zhichang and mother Dong Jieru, both of whom were famous political ** and wealthy businessmen at that time.
Wang Guangmei once said: "A mother's love is not only limited to us biological children, but also her three sons born to my father's ex-wife." In fact, I didn't know for many years that the three older brothers in front of me were actually half-siblings, but my mother treated them like her own children. ”
Wang Guangmei's mother showed an unparalleled maternal love with her generosity and tolerance, which made Wang Guangmei's life unforgettable, and also made her take care of her children more attentively.
Even in a prominent family background, her parents' attention to her education and endless love made Wang Guangmei develop a sunny and positive personality since she was a child. During her studies, Wang Guangmei has always performed well and achieved excellent results.
After completing her graduate studies, she originally planned to continue her studies in physics and pursue a PhD in the United States.
In 1946, Wang Guangmei received an important assignment and became an English translator for our party. Prior to this, she had already met many Communist Party members through her brother Wang Guangjie and had a deep understanding of the party.
Faced with her beloved physics career and the great responsibility entrusted by the party, Wang Guangmei chose the latter without hesitation, giving up the opportunity to go to the United States and her dream of becoming Marie Curie.
She firmly chose Yan'an and chose her later life path.
This year, 25-year-old Wang Guangmei came to Yan'an independently, quickly accepted and fulfilled the party's work tasks, and it was here that she met the *** who will accompany her for the rest of her life
In August 1948, Wang Guangmei and *** married in Xibaipo. After marriage, Wang Guangmei, as a novice mother, did her best to take care of her husband and ex-wife's children, and was meticulous in life, which can be called a model for wives and mothers.
At the same time, she is also ***'s right-hand man at work. Wang Guangmei often accompanies *** to visit abroad, as the secretary of ***, she accompanies *** to conduct work inspections in more than 20 provinces and cities across the country.
They have footprints all over the country, whether it is the Daqing oil field on the border or the Xing'anling forest.
With her tenacious and gentle character, Wang Guangmei has always worked together with *** to deal with various matters at work, which is praised by her son Liu Yuan, "My mother is full of traditional virtues of oriental women, and she always strives to do her best no matter where she is." ”
However, Wang Guangmei is not satisfied with just being a good wife and mother, she pays special attention to the lives of the people, especially the plight of poor mothers. As a mother and a woman, she deeply understands the difficulties brought to mothers by the backward economy and poverty.
Therefore, Wang Guangmei launched the "Happiness Project" in her later years to light the way forward for mothers in poor mountain villages.
In order to will"Happiness Project"Popularizing to more places and helping more women, Wang Guangmei did not hesitate to sell her precious items and treasures to raise funds.
Even a birthday present from her father. Although her children saw her reluctance and persuaded her to stay, she firmly refused, because she was willing to give up her treasure in exchange for more happiness for her poor mother.
However, compared to her generosity, Wang Guangmei's frugality is impressive. The clothes she wore often had a dozen holes in them, and even the close-fitting vest was patched.
When the aunt at home suggested throwing it away, Wang Guangmei firmly objected, insisting that the clothes could continue to be worn after being sewn and repaired. Even at the last moment of her life, she still cared about her philanthropy and asked her daughter Liu Tingting to take over her and continue the job.
In our familiar impression, Wang Guangmei may often be regarded as the *** lady. However, looking back and remembering her past, we may understand her charm more comprehensively, three-dimensionally and richly.
She spent more than ten years in her later years illuminating the road to happiness for countless mothers, and her life experience has also left a deep spiritual wealth for future generations.
