A Bowl of White Rice 1927 In the winter, when Chairman Mao led the Red Army of Workers and Peasants to live in Mao Ping Village, Ninggang County, the life of the Red Army was very hard for a while, eating Redmi pumpkins every day and sometimes eating porridge cooked by Redmi and pumpkins. At first, I felt a little sweet after eating a few mouthfuls of rice, but when I ate too much, I felt a little uncomfortable. But Chairman Mao didn't do anything special, and he served the soldiers rice from a pot. One day at breakfast, the guard Xiao Hu suddenly brought Chairman Mao a bowl of rice and rice. It turned out that he saw Chairman Mao stay up late every day and eat porridge cooked with brown rice and pumpkin with the soldiers. He couldn't stand it, so he ran to the kitchen to discuss with the cook privately. Xiao Hu himself processed Redmi into white rice, and in addition, he steamed half a catty of rice for Chairman Mao with a bowl. Chairman Mao felt a little strange when he saw white rice, and asked the soldiers if they also ate this kind of rice today. Xiao Hu never lies in front of the director. Of course, this time he told the truth. After hearing this, Chairman Mao immediately told him to take it back to the kitchen and cook porridge with pumpkins. Everyone ate it together and said, "Don't do this again. I will eat whatever the soldiers eat. " Xiao Hu said excitedly: "Commissioner Mao, the pumpkin porridge has already been done." Everyone has finished eating. Eat this meal, don't do it next time. " Chairman Mao still disagreed and patiently explained to Xiao Hu, "I should not be a special person. Pumpkin porridge is sweet and fragrant, so it is delicious. Soldiers can eat, but I can't? You know, the oppressed and exploited poor people can't even eat wild vegetables. Send the meal back to me quickly. " Xiao Hu wanted to say something, but Chairman Mao had stuffed the bowl of white rice into his hand. Xiao Hu couldn't help taking the rice back to the kitchen. Cui Yuan, whose real name was born in 78 AD, was established by Zhang Jianli in the Eastern Han Dynasty for three years. His father, Cui Jian, is knowledgeable and talented. When Emperor Han Ming compared him to a "dragon", we can see his special love for Cui Jian. Cui Yuan was smart and alert since childhood. Influenced by his father, he also likes reading. When he was a child, he was familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics. When Cui Yuan was nine years old, one morning he was playing with his children at home. Suddenly, he saw several people crowding around from the road. One of them, wearing official clothes and riding a burly horse, walked to his door and promised to visit Cui Jian. After they entered the house, Cui Yuan learned from his family that the horse rider is today's county magistrate, honest and honest, and deeply loved by the people. After hearing this, Cui Yuan had a brainwave and casually wrote a four-character poem on the gate: Although there is no light, enter my lane. "(continued) At this time, the magistrate finished his visit and was about to leave and return to my official. He went to the door and suddenly saw a poem with wet ink on it. The handwriting was exquisite, but the content contained sarcasm. He asked Cui Jian who wrote this. When Cui Jian saw it, he immediately said, "This must be written by my naughty son. Please forgive me for offending your honor. " The county magistrate smiled and said, "Please call your son. I want to ask him face to face. "After Cui Yuan was called, the county magistrate saw a handsome child standing in front of him and said," Can you still write a few words? " With a wave of his hand, Cui Yuan said, "Your courtiers are loyal to you. "Seeing that he was young and eloquent, the county magistrate couldn't help saying to Cui Jian," Your son is a wizard, and he is really a dragon. " Looking back at Cui Yuan, he has gone out to play. In 1996, when Cui Yuan 18 was eight years old, he studied in the capital. After studying under Jia Kui, he became proficient in astronomical calendars. Later, his younger brother Cui Zhang was killed innocently by the state. He was furious and avenged his brother. And then fled the country anonymously. In the fifth year of the Yuan Dynasty, 1 18, at the age of 40, he was pardoned by the imperial court and returned to China. On the basis of summing up his rough experience, he wrote a self-warning word, which was called motto and the word motto began. Its inscription reads: no one is short, no one is long. Be careful when giving and don't forget when receiving. The reputation of the world is insufficient, and benevolence is the discipline. Move with your heart hidden, slander and discuss injuries. Don't make the name too real, leave a fool and win what you hide. In nirvana, it is expensive, warm and contains light. Those who are born weak are honest and strong. It is difficult to measure one's ambition when walking. Be careful what you eat and drink, and the contented will always be happy. Perseverance will last a long time.
