With Wang Ji Fan Sun Queen Hairong: Mutual achievement
Wang Jifan's influence on *** is far-reaching, ** once said that without Wang Jifan there would be no his present, and even after Wang Jifan's death, ** personally laid a wreath to express his deep condolences.
How does Brother Jiu "Wang Jifan affect ***'s life?" Wang Jifan, the word Ji Fan, the ninth brother, was born in Xiangxiang, Hunan in 1884, is the son of the sister of the mother Wen Qimei, and the ninth among his peers, hence the name.
Wang Jifan was born in a well-off family, and studied under Xiao Zhuxuan, a Confucian in Hunan Province, since he was a child. He was later admitted to Hunan Quality Normal School and became one of the first Chinese to receive a new-style education, open-minded and deeply thinking about the fate of the country and the nation.
After graduating, Wang Jifan joined the Hunan No. 1 Normal School as a teacher, and was appointed as the superintendent of the Hunan No. 1 Normal School soon after because of his profound knowledge and strong work ability. Wang Jifan is nine years older than *** and has always been highly respected.
When *** was 17 years old, his father planned to let him be an apprentice in a rice shop in Xiangtan so that he could take over the family business in the future. However, ** learned from his cousin Wen Yongchang that Xiangxiang Dongshan Primary School was teaching new learning, and had been influenced by Li Shuqing, a teacher of the Reform School, to read books such as "The Danger of the Prosperous Age", and was very eager to study in Dongshan Primary School.
** It was decided to invite the prestigious elders of the family to convince the father and finally succeed in enrolling in school. This experience had a significant impact on ***'s life and changed the trajectory of his life.
**In the first step towards a broader world, I received the support and help of my cousin Wang Jifan. Wang Jifan persuaded Mao Shunsheng with his own observations, so that *** was able to leave the closed Shaoshan Chong.
Before leaving, he excitedly rewrote a poem and sandwiched it in his father's daily account book to express his firm determination. This poem has become a well-known classic.
After entering Dongshan High School, ** excitedly wrote a letter to Wang Jifan, detailing his new knowledge and new ideas here. **I can't express my gratitude to Wang Jifan.
I didn't go to college, and I didn't study abroad. I studied at Hunan No. 1 Normal School for the longest time, where I laid the foundation of knowledge and learning. The First Normal School is a very good school. ”
During his time at the First Normal School, he established a deep teacher-student relationship with the ninth brother Wang Jifan. Wang Jifan gave selfless help to students from poor families at that time, and this help was not only financial.
In 1915, during the "Expulsion Movement", ** personally wrote an exciting "Expulsion Manifesto". Later, Zhang Gan planned to expel the ** students led by ***, Wang Jifan and Yang Changji, Xu Teli and others set up a faculty meeting to stand up for the students, and finally *** and others were able to stay in the school.
Later, ** praised Wang Jifan many times for his feat of upholding justice and enlightened running the school, in order to express his deep gratitude to Wang Jifan. After Wang Jifan lost his only son, ** once said: "There is something to find me, we are a family."
Wang Jifan's approach to running the school caused some people to be dissatisfied, and he was forced to leave Hunan No. 1 Division soon after, but his enthusiasm and belief in education did not change.
With the prestige accumulated in Hunan for many years, he served as the principal of the county middle school of Hunan. Under his leadership, Changjun Middle School grew in prestige and became one of the top schools in Hunan at that time, sending many outstanding talents to the country, including 10 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Wang Jifan worked at Changjun Middle School for 8 years, which was the second peak of his educational career. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, Wang Jifan contacted his colleague Xu Teli in the First Division of Hunan that year, handed over his only son Wang Deheng to him, and arranged for Wang Deheng to go to Yan'an.
At this time, Wang Deheng's daughter Wang Hairong was just over a year old, and her son had just been born.
Soon after Wang Deheng arrived in Yan'an, he was arranged to study at Kang University. Under the arrangement of his cousin Mao**, he joined the Communist Party. Subsequently, Wang Deheng was sent back to his hometown of Hunan to engage in underground work.
In 1941, Wang Deheng was discovered by Kuomintang spies when crossing the river, and he wanted to escape by jumping into the water, but unfortunately he was hit by a bullet and died. He was only 30 years old at the time.
Due to the confidentiality of this matter, ** did not immediately inform Wang Jifan. However, Wang Jifan still insisted on writing letters to *** and Wang Deheng. After the battle of crossing the Yangtze River, he participated in the "Liberation Welcoming Activities" of the Changsha underground party as a well-known figure in Hunan's educational circles, actively promoted Hunan social elites and celebrities to support the peaceful liberation of Hunan, and played an important role in promoting the peaceful uprising in Hunan.
In the autumn of 1950, Wang Jifan and his daughter-in-law, granddaughter and grandson were invited to Beijing together. At home, ** held Wang Jifan's hand and introduced to his family: "This is my ninth brother, his family is in Xiangxiang, and he is my aunt and cousin." ”
Then he said, "Without him, there would be no me." After the meal, ** told Wang Jifan the news of his son's sacrifice, and he comforted Wang Jifan and said: "You have to take care and take care of his children, they are the remains of martyrs."
Find me for something, we are a family. ”
In 1962, ** ushered in his 70th lunar birthday, he did not hold a grand celebration, but invited his family and four old friends from Hunan, including Zhang Shizhao, Wang Jifan, Cheng Qian and Ye Gongqiu.
Zhang Shizhao brought his daughter Zhang Hanzhi, and Wang Jifan brought Queen Sun Hairong. Zhang Hanzhi was an English teacher at Beijing University of Foreign Chinese at the time, while Wang Hairong was a Russian student at Beijing Normal University.
At the banquet, ** personally invited Zhang Hanzhi to be his English teacher, a decision that undoubtedly changed the trajectory of Zhang Hanzhi's life.
**I admire the young junior Wang Hairong very much, and has taken care of and promoted her many times. Wang Hairong's name is taken from Lin Zexu's famous sentence, which pins on the high hopes of his family. She wrote a letter to *** when she was young and made a wish, and although she did not get an immediate reply, the two eventually met at the Yi Nian Hall in Zhongnanhai and communicated with each other.
This conversation was recorded in the book "The Day That Changed the World - Talking to Wang Hairong about Foreign Affairs", showing Wang Hairong's brave and fearless personality and cordial demeanor.
Wang Hairong later often entered Zhongnanhai with his grandfather, and his relationship with *** became increasingly close, becoming one of the famous "Five Golden Flowers" in the diplomatic circles of New China.
In 1957, Wang Hairong failed in the college entrance examination and failed to be admitted to the university of his choice. She had aspired to be a good chemical engineer, but in the short term, that dream seemed unattainable.
Despite the efforts of his family, Wang Hairong decided to devote himself to the construction of New China and became an apprentice worker in a chemical factory in Beijing. During his three-year career in this factory, Wang Hairong has received valuable training.
In 1960, Wang Hairong decided to write an article about his experience and observations, and bravely wrote a letter to ***, asking him to take a little time to revise.
Soon, Wang Hairong received a notice saying that *** had read her letter and hoped to see her. She came to Fortress Garden again. ** was very happy that this junior had become a glorious laborer, and he made a lot of revisions to Wang Hairong's article, and even rewrote some paragraphs.
He also retitled the article "My Experience," gave Wang Hairong the pen name "Wang Bo," and wrote a lengthy editor's note. In order to protect her identity, ** suggested that she use "Apprentice Wang Bo" as a pen name, so that others would not come to her because they knew that *** wrote an editor's note for her.
**'s careful guidance led to the publication of an article edited by him in the magazine "Chinese Youth", and this year Wang Hairong was admitted to Beijing Normal University, and after studying in the Department of Russian, he entered the English Department of Beijing Foreign University.
In 1964, Wang Hairong put forward some views according to the teaching reform of Beijing Foreign University, and wrote a letter to *** to appreciate her growth again, and wrote a comment after the letter.
**After handing it over, I recognized Wang Hairong's opinion. In 1965, Wang Hairong graduated successfully, and personally arranged for her to enter the first work, mainly responsible for the sending and receiving of documents and the preparation of diplomatic notices.
In 1971, after many years of experience, Wang Hairong was promoted to deputy director of the protocol department, and a year later he was promoted again to assistant minister.
This year, Wang Hairong's grandfather Wang Jifan died of illness in Beijing at the age of 88. On July 14, ** held a grand memorial service for him, presided over by Guo Moruo, Zhou Shizhao delivered a eulogy, and ** and others attended.
Another year later, Wang Hairong became the first vice minister, which means that Wang Hairong finally became the first generation of female diplomats in New China under the cultivation of ***. It can be said that without ***, there would be no later Wang Hairong.
On September 9, 1976, ** passed away suddenly, and Wang Hairong wept bitterly in the face of the remains of this leader and elders. In December 1978, Wang Hairong entered the first party school to study, after three years of study, Wang Hairong was appointed as the deputy director of the first counselor's office, and still enjoys the treatment of deputy minister.
As a person who has had long-term close contact with ***, Wang Hairong has a first-hand understanding of many things, whether it is an academic community or a reader, they all hope that Wang Hairong can publish a memoir, but Wang Hairong insists on writing for the rest of his life.
In 2004, Wang Hairong officially retired, and his granddaughter Kong Dongmei begged Wang Hairong to tell her story and let her record it. Wang Hairong said: "What do I have to write? ”
Kong Dongmei insisted again and again, and Wang Hairong was slightly relieved, she said: "You write yours, I don't write, but I can provide you with some background materials." ”
Kong Dongmei and Wang Hairong jointly wrote to depict the changes in the field of diplomacy from the perspective of those who have witnessed it, allowing people to have a deeper understanding of the legendary life of this great leader.
In Wang Hairong's memory, ** has always maintained a humble attitude and tirelessly taught students. Once, Wang Hairong told *** about his learning situation, mentioning that there was a classmate in the class who loved classical literature, especially "Dream of Red Mansions".
** asked her with great interest if she had read this famous book and which of its characters she liked the most. Wang Hairong frankly replied that he had no preference for "Dream of Red Mansions".
**Although he is not a "red scholar" in the strict sense, his love for this masterpiece is well known, and he once mentioned in "On the Ten Great Relationships": "In addition to the vast land, large population, long history and literary "Dream of the Red Chamber", China is not as good as other countries in many aspects, and we should learn modestly." ”
The new copy can be: * Introduce Wang Hairong to the value of "Dream of the Red Chamber" and emphasize the importance of reading books in foreign languages. ** He has an understanding of the ancient translation movement and believes that they have brought fresh blood to Chinese culture, so he attaches great importance to translation work.
After the operation, he read Lu Xun's "On Translation (II)" and praised it. It is an honor for Hairong Wang's unique perspectives and insights to have a profound impact on her academic career.
Today, Wang Hairong has passed away at the age of 79.
