In 2000, a major event occurred in China's cultural relics circles that shocked the whole country - the return of the "ox head", "monkey head" and "tiger head" to the motherland at the same time after more than 140 years, which made the people very excited.
However, in the process of paying attention to the progress of the return of the bronze statue of the zodiac, people found a caring entrepreneur named He Ping, who actually has multiple identities, and is even the fastest son-in-law of Chenglong.
So, why did he donate the three beast heads to the country for free? Under what circumstances did you get acquainted with ***'s daughter Deng Rong?
The answer to He Ping's question begins with the story of his father, He Biao. In that period of China's armed revolution, which was full of hardships and struggles, many pairs of revolutionary partners emerged, such as "Zhu Mao", "Chen Su", etc., but there was a pair of names that were only one word apart, that is, ** and He Biao, they shared the same ideals and were determined to save the country and the people, which laid a solid revolutionary friendship between them.
However, unlike the "revolution with two kitchen knives", He Biao is a military doctor who has rejuvenated his hands.
He Biao, a native of Hejiawan, Jiangling, Hubei, was named "He Yongnian" by his father, and later changed to He Biao. Because of his family's privileged background, he entered a private school when he was young, read poetry and books, accepted the edification and dissemination of new ideas, hated the darkness of the old society, and wanted to change the status quo.
In 1926, under the guidance of his classmates, he devoted himself to the advanced ideological movement, and because of his outstanding performance, he quickly became the captain of the Young Pioneers.
He Biao knows that if he wants to wear the crown, he must take the corresponding responsibility. On the road to the revolution, he faced many difficulties and dangers, but he decided to confess his ideals to his parents, who were only concerned about his own safety: "I have a strong conviction in my heart to do everything I can to bring peace to the poor people. ”
The parents of the He family are not stubborn people, and after careful consideration, they decided to support their son's decision. However, their love for their son makes them can't help but remind him: "You are gifted and intelligent, even if you can't go into battle to kill enemies, you can achieve your ambitions in other fields." ”
Perhaps it was because of his parents' worries that He Biao came up with the idea of becoming a doctor.
In the spring of 1927, He Biao decided to throw himself into the arms of the Chinese Communist Youth League, and for the sake of the revolutionary cause, he resolutely left his parents and embarked on a revolutionary road full of unknowns.
Initially, he worked as a traffic officer in Gangneung town and witnessed the defeat of the Great Revolution, but he did not back down and continued to participate in the peasant uprising. He was convinced that he could be as fierce as a tiger, so he changed his name to "Biao".
On the battlefield, he always charged at the front line, showing great courage and determination. However, whenever he saw his comrades fall one after another, his heart was filled with pain and helplessness, and this pain was getting worse with time.
During a guerrilla battle, He Biao's team encountered a surprise attack by the enemy, and he was lucky to escape, only slightly wounded. However, his teammates suffered varying degrees of damage during the battle.
Seeing his teammates whimpering in pain, He Biao was anxious, and he was determined to find a medical center for them as soon as possible. However, the enemy was heavily guarded and could not find the slightest breakthrough point.
In desperation, He Biao could only use the only anti-inflammatory drugs and local methods left in the team to try his best to help his teammates get through the difficulties. Despite the difficulties, he remained convinced that as long as they were united, they would be able to defeat the enemy.
He Biao deeply felt the importance of medical standards and was determined to become a doctor. But to his surprise, he not only saved the lives of many soldiers on this path full of challenges and opportunities, but also met two generals who played a key role in the revolution.
Their friendship is deep, and they are full of fighting spirit and camaraderie with each other. In 1930, He Biao joined the Communist Party of China, and his future direction was unwavering, that is, to enter the Red Second Army Hospital to study medicine and contribute to the revolutionary cause.
He Biao's firm belief in the organization and outstanding performance have been recognized, and he has lived up to expectations, showing the top level in the examinations and practical exercises in the military hospital, and has won wide praise both inside and outside the hospital.
However, after the outbreak of the September 18 Incident, Chiang Kai-shek adopted the policy of "settling the outside world before securing the interior" in the face of Japanese aggression, and launched four "encirclement and suppression" against the Soviet areas of the Chinese Communist Party, in an attempt to eliminate our party and maintain its bourgeois rule.
He Biao, with many years of superb medical skills, fought together with the Red Army. He used his medical skills to save dying soldiers from the brink of life and death, and when necessary, he also went into battle to kill the enemy himself.
It was they, the soldiers who charged into battle, who were the mainstay of the victory of the revolution. However, He Biao and other logistical units such as medical and communications troops were also an indispensable source of motivation in the revolutionary struggle.
In October 1934, he became the Minister of Health of the Red Second Army, and the commander-in-chief of the Red Second Army was none other than **, the leader known for "two kitchen knives to make a revolution".
At that time, they were just comrades, but what happened next directly elevated their relationship to a "life-changing" friendship. After the failure of the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" struggle, the route of the Long March was finalized after a consultative meeting.
In the difficult conditions of trekking through mountains and rivers, the medical team led by He Biao was undoubtedly the busiest soldiers.
In the era of scarcity of materials, the Red Army soldiers had to rely on picking wild vegetables, wild fruits and other ingredients along the way, the diversity of this kind of ingredients is like "Shennong tastes a hundred herbs", and all kinds of *** also followed.
* The marshal was determined to share the weal and woe with the soldiers, but unfortunately he was also hit. In an extreme weather, the Red Army soldiers could only temporarily camp and recuperate. The soldiers of the cooking squad looked at the empty supply bags and could only venture out to find wild vegetables.
They reluctantly brought some back and boiled soup with snow water to solve the problem of food and clothing.
* attracted him to the steaming water, and he stepped forward, picked up the bowl, and was about to drink it all, when he was stopped by the warriors of the cooking class. "Commander, we haven't eaten the wild vegetables in the pot, you'd better wait until we try them before drinking. ”
The cooking squad soldier persuaded. But ** said firmly: "I, like you, don't need to do any poison test for the emperor's second child." After saying that, he drank the bowl of wild vegetable soup without hesitation.
However, not long after drinking, he felt unbearable abdominal pain, and only then did he realize that the wild vegetables were poisonous, and he quickly sent someone to warn the soldiers of the cooking squad to stop distributing them to other fighters.
After He Biao** dealt with everything, he fell to the ground exhausted. The guard beside him sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked He Biao for help, and finally saved **'s life.
* After waking up, I watched He Biao, who was sweating profusely, busy, and my heart was full of gratitude. He said affectionately, "Thank you for saving me." He Biao responded seriously: "The next time the cooking class makes wild vegetable soup, Commander He should let me check it first, and I can't act recklessly." ”
He Biao was praised as "Hua Tuo and Bian Que in ancient times, and He Biao in the Red Second Corps today", and his friendship with ** was deepened. ** He Biao gave full support to the reform of the military medical system and marriage, and even witnessed and participated in his wedding in 1940.
Now, six years later, the loving couple finally has a child of their own.
He Ping. Chen Kai was surprised by her husband's answer, but seeing He Biao's determined eyes, she immediately understood his deep expectation. It turned out that he hoped that through his son's name, he could convey his deep yearning for a peaceful and prosperous world.
He Biao is most pleased that he not only witnessed the birth of New China, but also cultivated He Ping, a famous entrepreneur who made significant contributions to the country.
He Ping's life path was not smooth, because his father He Biao's heroic deeds and patriotism during the war made him extremely prestigious in the army.
His father was even awarded the Order of Merit of the Red Star of the People's Liberation Army of the First Class in 1988. Therefore, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, He Ping was awarded a number of positions such as Vice Minister of Health.
He Ping grew up under the aura of his father He Biao since he was a child, but he did not become complacent because of this, but strengthened his love for the motherland and the pursuit of the revolutionary cause.
When applying for the university, he did not hesitate to choose the "Harbin Military Academy". However, his mother, Chen Kai, expressed concern about the cold climate in the north and hoped that he would be able to change schools.
He Ping understands his mother's worries, but he firmly believes that he can withstand such difficulties and challenges, because he loves the motherland, the revolutionary cause, and his choices.
He hopes to prove with his actions that with determination and courage, nothing can stop him from moving forward. Therefore, he firmly chose the "Harbin Military Academy" and decided to move forward bravely to meet the challenges of the future.
He Ping's father and he had both experienced the hardships of the Long March, climbing snow-capped mountains and crossing meadows, and they could not even drink hot soup. Compared with them, He Ping's suffering was insignificant.
On the way to study, he carried his bags and worked hard silently. At school, instead of being complacent about his father's title, he diligently honed his military qualities.
In the seventies of the 20th century, the Chinese educated youth movement of "going to the mountains and going to the countryside" was set off, and He Ping did not have special treatment, he took the initiative to participate in the work of the farm.
He could withstand the heavy farm work, but he could not endure the dull and boring life.
Comrade He Ping, it's been a long time! I greet you in rural Shaanxi. There is a lesbian named Deng Rong here, her personality is very similar to yours, maybe you will fall in love.
Deng Rong is the youngest daughter of ***, graduated from Beijing Medical College, and is from a medical family like you. She and I grew up in a family home and we had a good relationship.
I hope you will have the opportunity to communicate with each other and start a new friendship together.
The matchmaker Lu Tongyan skillfully conveyed her meaning, ** He Ping didn't know about it, but he just felt that it was a good thing to make more friends. Therefore, he agreed to Lu Tongyan's suggestion and wrote the first letter to Deng Rong.
After several letter exchanges, there was an invisible connection between the two who had never met, which made He Ping and Deng Rong have a good impression of each other, and also exchanged ** with each other.
For He Ping, his family was going through difficulties at the time, and the whole family was immersed in a fog of gloom. He decided to transfer Deng Rong's ** to his parents and told them: "This girl is very good, I will introduce you to you in the future." ”
He Biao's wit made him full of confidence in life, and *** also recognized him from the ** sent by his daughter Deng Rong, and called him the son of "Red Army Hua Tuo" with a smile, thinking that he was like his father and a good son-in-law.
With the approval of the two old men to their former comrades-in-arms, the marriage of He Ping and Deng Rong was gradually finalized. However, due to the problem of distance, their love began a "marathon".
In the 1990s, he became the chairman of the Military Commission and officially met He Biao's family. He Ping and Deng Rong thus became husband and wife, and realized that as the descendants of the revolutionary ancestors, they needed to shoulder the glory and burden, and they could not forget their original intentions.
Especially He Ping, he finally waited for the opportunity to show his talents. In 1993, under the influence of "reform and opening up", China Poly Group pushed through the old and brought forth the new, and He Ping served as the chairman.
The group photo of Mr. and Mrs. He Biao and Mr. and Mrs. *** witnesses their efforts and contributions to promoting the development of the industry, which is an area that the state attaches great importance to. Their outstanding achievements have created significant economic benefits for the group and added important colors to China's socialist construction.
However, He Ping has never publicized his achievements, and his wife Deng Rong has also been unknown, both as his strong backing and as the writer of many of her father's books.
However, an accident made their exploits known to the public, and their efforts and achievements became widely known.
In April 2000, the Hong Kong auction house announced that it would auction the three animal heads in the 12 bronze statues of the Chinese zodiac in the Old Summer Palace at the end of the month, triggering national condemnation and appeals, and some people even invoked international law to demand that the auction house return the property illegally plundered by China during the war, but the auction house did not respond.
Businessmen, especially auction houses, will not miss this opportunity to attract tens of millions of attention.
He Ping bought back the animal head of the Old Summer Palace for the country and donated it to the Poly Art Museum free of charge. After seeing the news of the loss of the beast head of the Old Summer Palace in the newspaper, He Ping immediately interrupted the work at hand, came to Hong Kong with cash, and successfully auctioned it for 30 million Hong Kong dollars.
He sat calmly at the scene and decided to donate this precious cultural relic to the Poly Art Museum free of charge, making it one of the cultural relics lost and recovered after the founding of the People's Republic of China. This move is inseparable from his spirit of daring to take risks and spending a lot of money.
I am a businessman, but I also love my country deeply. He Ping said firmly, "If possible, I am willing to do everything I can to bring those cultural relics back to their homeland." ”
His eyes were blazing, just like his father He Biao had when he was young, and he was full of deep awe and responsibility for the country and the people. Both of them are models of "son inheriting father's business", even if He Biao has left, his spirit will continue to be carried forward by He Ping, and continue to strive for the development of the country.
