From the background of growing up as a child, Zhou Enlai's characters who played a great potential in his later political career were more or less bred from the declining feudal official family, wandering from childhood and warm maternal love. He is lucky to have two mothers with different personalities. The mother of the heir is gentle, sincere, careful and highly educated. She is young and widowed and never goes out, so Zhou Enlai, a child, is not allowed to go out. She makes him study at home all day. As a result, he was cultivated into a studious, quiet, kind and polite person. His biological mother is cheerful, intelligent and decisive, and capable of doing things. When Zhou Enlai was a child, she often observed how her mother handled family affairs and learned some methods and abilities. After the decline of the family, Zhou Enlai, who was about ten years old, was forced to play the role of "head of the family". Anyone who is familiar with China folk customs and understands the traditional life struggle path of self-cultivation, keeping the family in order and governing the country knows that there seems to be no essential difference between maintaining the existence of a big family and presiding over state affairs in modern China, at least in terms of the character and quality requirements of "being a family". Even in a feudal family with a good face, all kinds of ostentation and extravagance, etiquette and rules can not be ignored. The young man wrote down the birthdays and deaths of relatives one by one and posted them on the wall, then borrowed money to give gifts and kowtow to socialize. This naturally requires measured and organized communication skills and a delicate understanding of interpersonal feelings. Zhou Enlai naturally inherited two personality abilities from his two dead mothers, which is an important factor for him to play the role of a good husband. For future political activists, this may also be something to be thankful for. What he longed for since childhood was stability, harmony and maintenance, which made him develop a thinking mode and a pragmatic lifestyle that was good at seeking common ground in differences, and made him show the characteristics of unity of opposites such as gentleness and enthusiasm, forbearance without losing principles, caution and courage in the later complicated political struggle. If a person with less talent is allowed to play these complicated roles, he will eventually be at a loss in thought and action. It is this complicated and shrewd personality that explains why Zhou Enlai's political career is so long and colorful. Wandering in Qingjiang, Huai 'an, Northeast China, Tianjin and Japan is an important part of Zhou Enlai's boyhood life. The influence on his character is not only to enrich his experience and broaden his mind. From the narrative of Biography of Zhou Enlai, we can at least understand this master's psychological process: from the desire for family ethical feelings to the exploration of collectivism moral norms. Zhou Enlai, who has been wandering abroad since childhood, has always had a strong and painful homesickness. Accompanied by homesickness, it is the search for harmonious group relations. This may be an emotional change. However, the encouragement of traditional people with lofty ideals, the anxiety about the fate of a country separated by mountains and rivers, and the sense of responsibility developed since childhood have, after all, made this 15-year-old boy reach such an outlook on life: a person can't survive on his own like plants and animals, so it is inevitable to serve mankind for the collective. He said and did this, never sparing time and energy, working for friends and groups, and winning high praise from teachers and classmates. The evaluation of him in "Classmate Record" is: "The most emotional, loyal to friendship, all friends and public welfare, do their best." What is commendable is that Zhou Enlai's altruistic behavior of worrying about others has little external utilitarian color, which is not what people like to say at present: "Being subjective for oneself and being objective for others". In a letter to a friend, he frankly expressed such a feeling: "I have no responsibility to bind myself all the time." Others regard it as "stupid", but he feels that "the fun is doubled." What an honor. His "service" is completely a kind of character and a natural discharge of moral feelings that cannot be wrapped. It was from Zhou Enlai, who attached importance to moral feelings, that Zhou Enlai, who attached importance to group obligations, naturally came into being. This doomed his life to be inextricably linked with society, friends, career and mission under any circumstances. Even when he was young, when his spirit was close to collapse, he would break free from pain and despair because of the call of emotion and obligation. The above-mentioned sense of collectivism obligation, which originated from the true nature of temperament, will naturally blend into the personality foundation of this later great proletarian revolutionary. In the revolutionary ranks, although everyone has the same belief and is willing to die for it, having this personality foundation is different from not having this personality foundation. Some people are arrogant, flashy, vain and reckless, but Zhou Enlai always seems so sincere, simple and tenacious. And he gives the impression that he is not the kind of heartless party member. Later, when he was mature and great, we could still hear the famous moral saying that originally belonged to religious teachings: "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell!" He can't break "relationship" and "fate", which is the psychological basis that he will go forward as much as he has suffered setbacks in the cause of the party and will not leave as much as he has misunderstood his personal reputation. When he was a middle school student in Nankai, although he was an activist in various public welfare activities, he was never proud, never sharp-edged, domineering, and rarely had the power desire of leaders. He believes that "all people in the world have real skills, and they must be self-disciplined and open-minded." When you decide what to do, do it desperately, regardless of interests; ..... In this way, people always have certain opinions in their hearts, and it is easy to refuse to change. "His ability to cultivate an open-minded view of heroes and a view of fame regardless of personal interests is indeed elegant and refined. As a result, since he was a teenager, Zhou Enlai didn't like those who, although they were talented, had the heart to ask for credit and show off. He doesn't completely ignore personal "names". In an essay about "reputation", he even regarded it as "the second life of life". But the "name" in his mind is more a "reputation" with moral significance than a "name" that mainly embodies personal interests. A distinguished reputation does not necessarily bring a noble reputation. In his view, painting is successful or profitable, stealing the world with false voices, dazzling the world and gaining fame. Even if you have some achievements, you are really an honorary sinner. The key to coordinating the two is to have a big "ambition", but not a big "self", and to emphasize reputation and status. In his words, it is "a determined person, when considering the details, will achieve a career that is not limited to a certain corner and individual." "Throughout the ages, one of the most difficult problems for people with great achievements is probably the relationship between great career and personal fame and fortune. Many people have lost their foothold on this issue, including those famous people who have worked side by side in China * * * Production Party, such as Zhang, Jeremy goldkorn and Lin Biao. If we want to find the reason from the field of personality, it may be related to the failure to get rid of the "personal" trouble in practice. This first demeans myself morally, and eventually even some "articles" that I have worked hard to create are damaged. Zhou Enlai can win worldwide praise. He attached importance to personal personality design from his childhood and followed it all his life. Secondly, from the aspects of personality, talent and moral character, I read some words on the tablet of Zhou Enlai's personality described in Biography of Zhou Enlai, and got a basic view: Zhou Enlai was a revolutionary in modern China, and his moral and political qualities left a deep impression and influence on later generations. This typical example shows that a great man who has been immortal on the double balance of politics and morality must leave some other "wealth" besides his talent and contribution, such as how to be a man, which seems more important in our country. Yes, Zhou Enlai is a great * * * party member armed with modern advanced ideas, but he is first and foremost a * * * party member from China. Although he didn't have enough opportunities and obvious benefits like Mao Zedong, and he painstakingly absorbed personality nutrients and ideal way of governing the country and leveling the world from traditional culture, Confucianism pursued moral self-discipline and perfection after entering WTO and suffering. Taoism's relative detachment and philosophical interest in fame and fortune; Mohism's diligence and dedication to group undertakings are close to religion; The wit and wisdom of the strategist in sizing up the situation; As well as the rigor and pragmatism of Legalists, it seems that we can find some shadows in Zhou Enlai. So, I often think of Nixon's memory: a reporter once asked Zhou Enlai whether he was a China or a producer as a producer in China. Zhou replied, "I come from China first. ".In fact, no matter what tradition a great man belongs to, he can't be perfect. So is Zhou Enlai. The traditional ideal personality listed above not only made him great, but also formed his limitations. Zhou Enlai is also deeply aware of his limitations. In the struggle between the two forces, he neither went to extremes nor took a moderate attitude (Mao Zedong once criticized this). Although it has some positive meanings, such as democracy, tolerance and seeking truth, it should also be noted that the ambiguous attitude it leads to in some cases also has its negative effects. For political leaders, imagination is a quality that cannot be ignored in opening up new situations and making epoch-making original achievements. Zhou Enlai needs further development, which is characterized by strategic flexibility and principle. Mao Zedong lets his emotional imagination gallop in decision-making, and can predict the general trend of things very sensitively, which is characterized by strategic flexibility. Although these two great men benefited from this tradition, Mao Zedong preferred the whole social order and the ideal realm of social development, while Zhou Enlai preferred the constitution order of the subject personality and the ideal realm of personality. Therefore, Mao Zedong boldly betrayed the tradition while accepting it, and often broke it without scruple after establishing the revolutionary order. This political character made him have the personality charm to create an era, but his over-rich imagination made him use this personality charm to regard the country as a huge "laboratory" after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and finally went to the tragedy of a great man. Zhou Enlai's political character is mainly reflected in being good at perfecting revolutionary order and implementing revolutionary strategy, which brings more thoroughness, reliability, trust, stability and coordination. He doesn't belong to the kind of person who is extremely flamboyant and charming. Therefore, although his talent, contribution, position and opportunity may make him a "helmsman", he has never been and is unwilling to be a "helmsman"-he knows his limitations, and he does have the limitations that it is difficult to make him a "helmsman" in that revolutionary era that requires charisma. Zhou Enlai is such a person. This man contains some interesting topics about the personality of revolutionary leaders.
