Zhou Yi can saveThe year is beautiful and the wife is buried, and his son still insists on doing chores.

**, his talent and moral character, the world praised, his gentleness and humility and single-mindedness for the country and the people, won the love of the people of the whole country. The deep affection between him and his wife Deng Yingchao has become the envy of everyone.

Such excellent qualities and unique temperament are inseparable from the subtle influence of his father. **'s father, Zhou Yineng, insisted on being celibate and did not remarry after his wife's death, preferring to silently engage in a miscellaneous job rather than touch his son's light.

His tenacity and selflessness have deeply influenced ***'s growth and personality formation. **'s father, Zhou Yineng, is a person worthy of our admiration.

Zhou Yineng, born in 1874 in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, a feudal family, after the family moved to Huai'an, Jiangsu, still maintained the traditional family concept, not separating the family, living in the same house.

His father, Zhou Qikui, was a master of the government when he was young, and later became a governor through hard work and support. He is an honest official, relying on the court to support his family, and his life is poor, so Zhou Yineng does not reflect the arrogant habits of the official family.

Zhou Yi has been diligent since he was a child, and he has gained fame by relying on his talent. However, corruption was rampant in the late Qing Dynasty, and if you want to become an official, you must dredge up relations. Zhou Qikui hated this, and although Zhou Yineng performed well in the county exam, he did not succeed in the end.

After returning to his hometown of Shaoxing, Zhou Yineng began to learn the position of master from the elders of the clan. In modern society, the master is similar to the assistant and secretary next to the leader.

Although Zhou Yineng is talented, because his personality is too true and honest, he has not made significant achievements in his master's profession after completing his studies. At the age of 18, according to his parents' expectations, he tied the knot with Wan Donger, the daughter of the prefect of Huai'an.

Wan Dong'er was favored by her parents since she was a child, and in that feudal era, women's social status was low, and most families valued women's virtue more than talent, so there were few opportunities for women to receive education.

Wan Dong'er, a special existence, grew up with *** and received a good education. She is knowledgeable and has a profound cultural heritage, so in her marriage to Zhou Yineng, she soon became the helmsman of the family.

In order to maintain the family's livelihood, Zhou Yineng went out to work to make money. Wan Dong'er not only keeps the family in order, but also is very good at handling interpersonal relationships. Conflicts at home can often be satisfactorily resolved under her mediation.

She is an excellent housewife and a maintainer of family harmony.

In 1898, Wan Dong'er gave birth to her eldest son***, but when *** was about to be a year old, his uncle Zhou Yigan suffered from an incurable disease. Since Zhou Yigan had no heirs, according to the meaning of the elders of the feudal family at that time, Wan Dong'er and her husband endured the pain and cut their love and passed it on to their uncle Chongxi.

From then on, ** began to live with his uncle and aunt. Although *** passed on to his uncle, they still live in the same yard, and ** can see his mother Wan Dong'er every day.

Later, Wan Dong'er gave birth to two more boys, **with two younger brothers***Pu and ***Shou.

When *** returned to his parents, his adoptive father and adoptive mother had passed away one after another. Soon after, his grandfather also died, which caused a sharp deterioration in the family's financial situation.

Despite living in hardship, Zhou Yineng and Wan Dong'er always believe in the importance of education, and they do their best for their children's education. ** In his life, although he lost his wife, he did not remarry and died celibate.

Zhou Yi can work harder to make money outside for the livelihood of his family. However, as a scholar, he had no other skills and could only do some clerical and tutor work for a meager income.

At home, he also needs to take care of his three children, as well as Wan Dong'er of the entire Zhou family, and he has to be careful in life, otherwise it will be a problem to even eat.

Under such hard work, in 1907, Wan Dong'er fell ill due to overwork.

Zhou Yi could get the news that his wife was seriously ill, and he was anxious, so he decisively put down the work at hand and hurried home. However, he was unable to see his wife for the last time because she died while waiting for him to return.

Wan Dong'er's parents have always been not optimistic about Zhou Yineng's son-in-law, thinking that he is not able to make money to support the family and let their daughter suffer. The death of their daughter made their grievances even deeper, so when burying Wan Dong'er, they put forward strict requirements: the coffin must be made of nanmu, and the outside must be covered with five layers of linen cloth and seven layers of lacquer.

Zhou Yineng loved his wife deeply, and in order to get her properly buried, he overcame all kinds of difficulties and scraped together to buy a high-quality coffin for his wife, although his situation at that time was very difficult.

In order to fulfill this wish, he left his hometown and began to work outside the home. However, unable to take care of the children, he had to leave his three sons in the care of his eldest brother.

Even on the way out to work, he brought a small portrait of his wife to show his deep nostalgia for her.

At all times, Zhou Yi can resolutely complete all the work of the righteous path, no matter how dirty and tiring they are. In order to give his wife a beautiful burial, he ran around and worked hard to make money.

Whenever he feels tired, he takes out his wife's ** and takes a look, which will make him feel refreshed immediately. After 28 years of unremitting efforts, at the age of 61, he finally saved enough money to bury his wife.

He then returned to his hometown for a belated but significant funeral for his wife. In the process, a deep father-son bond developed between him and his son, who understood and respected his decision.

Zhou Yigeng worked hard outside to make money to support his family, and the three brothers grew up under the care of his uncle and clansmen. He has studied hard since he was a child, and he was deeply appreciated by his uncle Zhou Yigeng, so he has been sponsoring him to study, and finally, he was admitted to Nankai School with excellent results.

Although he didn't spend much time with his father, as he grew older, he became more and more aware of his father's hardships and deeply admired his father's fortitude and determination.

During his studies in Tianjin, his father visited him many times, however, at that time, he was just a shabby student and could not afford to share any pressure on his father. Looking at his father's premature aging due to fatigue, ** felt extremely sad.

When Zhou Yi could see the *** wanted notices posted on the streets and alleys, he was anxious and at a loss. Although he did not know the specific actions of his son, he believed in his heart that what his son did must be for the well-being of the country and the people.

When he finally learned that his son was devoted to the revolutionary cause and fought for the well-being of the country and the people, he did not hesitate to give his full support, although he knew that his son's work was fraught with danger.

In 1931, ** carried out underground revolutionary activities in Shanghai, and Zhou Yineng, who learned the news, also rushed to support. In addition to assisting *** in transmitting information, Zhou Yineng is also responsible for sorting out information documents.

However, as the situation in Shanghai became increasingly tense, ** felt that his father was in danger, and finally decided to send his father back to his hometown. After a brief reunion, the father and son had to separate again.

In 1937, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, ** presided over the work in the office of the Eighth Route Army in Wuhan, and he took his father Zhou Yineng to Wuhan. Although his son is the chief, Zhou Yineng is still willing to help his son do what he can.

Whenever he sees that he can help his son, he feels very relieved.

In 1940, ** had become an important leader of the Communist Party of China. In order to meet the needs of work, he came to Hongyan Village in Chongqing and brought his elderly father to live with him.

In the face of the persuasion of the workers and ***, Zhou Yineng said that although he has worked hard all his life, he can now take a good rest and enjoy his leisure.

However, Zhou Yineng insisted on doing some small things for the revolution, although he couldn't do big things, he believed that being able to contribute a little strength to the revolution was the best reward.

He took the initiative to help in the warehouse, and also contracted the cleaning work in the yard, cleaning hard every morning and evening. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would have thought that this old man who was cleaning would be the father of ***.

Zhou Yineng died of illness on July 10, 1942, and he loved his wife deeply and was single for 35 years. However, ** had just undergone surgery due to inflammation of the small intestine, and everyone was afraid that the news of his father's death would stimulate the healing of the wound, so they did not tell him the news.

** is a very filial son, after his father died, he has always carried his father's ** with him, expressing his deep thoughts and gratitude to his father.

His wife Deng Yingchao also understands him very well, although *** once lost his temper with her because of this incident, but in the end he also recognized everyone's good intentions and apologized to her.

Their love story is touching and shows the deep affection and mutual understanding between them.

Although Zhou Yineng was poor all his life, his unique qualities deeply influenced his children, enabling them to have priceless spiritual wealth. He is upright, kind, and has a clear distinction between right and wrong, and would rather live a life of poverty than go along with the world.

His family teachings are more precious than any material possessions. Although his life was difficult, his integrity and character are deeply admired.
