/kloc-at the age of 0/2, Zhou Enlai left his hometown and went to the northeast. At that time, Northeast China was the focus of imperialist powers' struggle in China. He got off the bus in Shenyang, and his uncle who came to pick him up pointed to a busy place and said to him, "Don't go there to play if you have nothing to do!" " "
"Why?" Zhou Enlai asked suspiciously.
"That's a foreign concession. It's not good to get into trouble. There is no reason to go! "
"Why is that?" Zhou Enlai gets to the bottom of it.
"Why? China is depressed! " Uncle sighed and said nothing.
Soon, Zhou Enlai entered the Dongguan Model School. He will never forget what his uncle said when he came to meet him. He often thinks, "What is concession like? Why can't China people go there, but foreigners can live there? Isn't this the land of China ... "
A series of questions puzzled Zhou Enlai, and his curiosity drove him to see for himself.
On a sunny Sunday, Zhou Enlai carried his uncle and a good classmate into the concession. Hey! This area is really different from other places: the streets are full of lights and excitement, and most foreigners with yellow hair, white skin and big noses and patrol policemen are arrogant.
While Zhou Enlai and his classmates were looking around, they suddenly found a group of people shouting in front of the police station. They rushed over and saw a woman in rags crying in the crowd, while a tall foreigner stood there proudly.
Only after asking did I know that this woman's relative was run over by a foreigner's car. She had hoped that the police station in China would support her and punish the foreigner. Who knows that instead of punishing the foreigner who caused the accident, China patrolman reprimanded her.
All the people watching in China clenched their fists. However, in foreign concessions, who dares? I can only persuade that unfortunate woman. At this time, Zhou Enlai truly realized the meaning of what his uncle called "China Depression".
After returning from the Concession, students often see Zhou Enlai alone in meditation, and no one knows what he is thinking. It was not until Zhou Enlai gave a speech in a self-cultivation class that the mystery was solved.
In the self-cultivation class that day, President Wei asked the students a question: "Why do students study?"
The students answered enthusiastically. Some people say, "Learn for understanding." Some said, "Be an official by studying." Others said, "Learning is to earn money." "Reading for the sake of eating" ...
Zhou Enlai has been sitting there quietly, not in a hurry to speak. President Wei noticed, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and called the roll to let him answer. Zhou Enlai stood up, clearly and firmly replied:
"Learn for the rise of China!"
President Wei does it one brace up! He never imagined that a 12-year-old child should have such ambition and mind! He opened his eyes wide and asked, "Say again, why are you studying?"
"Learn for the rise of China!"
The forceful words won the applause of President Wei: "Good! For the rise of China! Where there is a will, be a pupil! "
Yes, young Zhou Enlai realized at that time that if the people of China were not bullied by imperialism, they must revitalize China. Reading, we must take this as the goal.
2. The story of Zhou Enlai and flowers.
Zhou Enlai likes Mei since he was a child. 1904, Zhou Enlai, who was only 6 years old, and his two younger brothers moved from Huai 'an city with their parents to live with their grandmother in Puhe, Qingjiang. It was a winter, and it happened that there was a pot of wintersweet in Zhou Jia's yard.
Zhou Enlai was reluctant to leave this beautiful bottle of wintersweet, but wanted to take it away. At that time, he was too young to move the pot, so he took the flowers out of the pot, knocked off the soil at the roots of the flowers, and then put the wintersweet on a small wooden boat, carried it to Wan Mansion and planted it in the yard next to Wanjiashu Museum.
For more than a century, this Chimonanthus praecox has been flourishing and fragrant every year. For this reason, a local cigarette factory has specially produced a series of "Yipin Mei" cigarettes. Taking this photo of plum as a trademark means that Zhou Enlai officials are the best, and their morality is also the best.
August 8th, 1950 is the silver wedding anniversary with Deng. In order to commemorate this meaningful day, He Xiangning, then director of the Overseas Chinese Committee and a famous leftist leader of the Kuomintang, specially painted a Chinese painting "Chimonanthus praecox" for Zhou Enlai and his wife. This painting has also become a lifelong painting in Zhou Enlai's collection, and it still hangs on the left side of the central hall in the back living room of Xihuating in Zhongnanhai.
During the period of 1997, when the author presided over the exhibition of Huai 'an Imitation West Flower Hall, he also copied this painting and hung it in the same position as Beijing West Flower Hall for visitors to enjoy.
3. Zhou Enlai is angry
In the early 1960s, the staff around Zhou Enlai took advantage of Premier's overseas visit to protect and strengthen the building. They only did some simple interior decoration and replaced curtains, washbasins and bathtubs.
Zhou Enlai was very angry when he came home and severely criticized them. Afterwards, he earnestly said to the people around him: As the Prime Minister, I made a good start and had a great influence; Bad head also affects a large area. Therefore, I must be strict with myself.
What do the people think of you spending so much money to repair my house so well? Once everyone learns to build a house, what kind of influence will it have among the masses? Zhou Enlai's remarks are thought-provoking. Since then, no one has dared to mention the decoration of the house.
Deng said in his memorial to: In the early days of liberation, you happened to see this blooming courtyard of begonia and fell in love with it. You have chosen this yard and lived in this yard where begonia is in full bloom for 26 years. It has always maintained the solemn, quiet, beautiful and simple style of the founding Prime Minister.
Premier Zhou Enlai lives in the West Flower Hall of Zhongnanhai and leads a simple life. This can be seen from the house and yard where he lives. He has not been allowed to decorate and renovate his house and yard since he moved in.
Step 4 criticize with a smile
1930, Germany published a book criticizing the theory of relativity, entitled "One hundred professors come forward to prove Einstein wrong".
Hearing the news, Einstein shrugged and said, "100 people? Why so many people?
As long as I can prove that I am really wrong, even one person is enough. "
Revelation: In terms of truth and understanding, anyone who pretends to be an authority will surely collapse in God's joke!
5. Citizens of the world
When Einstein was young, one day, the German emperor's army passed through the streets of Munich. Curious people flocked to the window to cheer, while children yearned for the soldiers' shining helmets and neat steps.
But Einstein hid in fear. He despised and feared these "monsters in war" and asked his mother to take him to a country where he would never be such a monster.
Einstein gave up his German citizenship in middle school, but he didn't apply for Italian citizenship. He wants to be a world citizen who doesn't want any attachment. After World War II, Einstein tried to establish his dream of world peace on the basis of reality, and delivered a series of "peace" speeches in "enemy countries".
Albert Einstein's name also appeared on the blacklist of German right-wing assassins, and Hitler offered a reward of 20,000 marks for his head. In order to keep himself in harmony with the world, Einstein had to move from Italy to Holland.
He emigrated from Holland to America and became an American citizen. He believes that in the United States, people from all walks of life can survive in a barely passable friendship.
