Zhou Shaohua has the habit of reading Henan Daily. When I got home, I put down my schoolbag and picked up Henan Daily to read it. After reading it, I was attracted by an article introducing Jin Yongsan, the newly elected president of South Korea: Zhou Shaohua admired President Jin Yongsan's deeds of governing the country, fighting corruption and promoting honesty.
Zhou Shaohua put down the newspaper and thought for a while. Suddenly, he felt excited: I want to write a congratulatory letter to Chairman Jin.
Zhou Shaohua took out a pen and paper from his schoolbag and began to write carefully. In order to express his sincere wishes, Hua Shao copied the letter three times for fear that one word was not written neatly enough.
The letter is finished. But what does he think is missing? He thought for a long time and didn't come up with any good ideas, so he left home. There are many seeds of beans, pumpkins, cucumbers and cantaloupes that his father bought from the market on the windowsill outside the house.
Seeing these melons, he thought, Baisha honeydew melon is a specialty of his hometown hua county, and it tastes crisp and sweet when cooked. So Shao Hua decided to send melon seeds with the letter.
Shao Hua carefully selected 66 melon seeds, one by one.
Shao Hua also wrote in the letter: "Grandpa Jin, China has the saying" 666 Great Shun ". You happen to be the president of South Korea at the age of 66, and I have selected 66 high-quality melon seeds for you. I wish you and your national life as sweet as a melon. "
Zhou Shaohua's idea of writing a letter to Jin Yongsan was approved by the teacher, who praised his good ideas and originality.
The letter has been written, but Xiaohua at least doesn't know how to send it so that President Kim can receive it. Very clever Shao Hua thought of china national radio's "bosom sister" and asked her to help deliver the baby with trust.
This "intimate elder sister" is really "intimate" and specially forwarded the letter to the Korean Embassy in China. This letter was handed over to the Chairman by Ding, First Secretary of the Korean Embassy in China.
The South Korean President's Personal Reply to Teenagers in China
Although President Jin Yongsan had a full schedule of important things and busy days after he took office, he still took the time to personally write a reply to Zhou Shaohua, a teenager in China who had never met before: Zhou Shaohua:
I am glad to receive your letter and the melon seeds you gave me. I don't feel tired when I think of the great encouragement given me by children from neighboring countries, especially Shao Hua.
I will live up to Shao Hua's hopes. I will try my best to further strengthen the friendship between our two countries, which will contribute to the healthy growth of children in both countries like Shao Hua. You should study hard and do many meaningful things for your country and the world in the future. I hope Shao Hua can aspire to achieve this goal.
Thank you for your invitation. I will definitely visit you in China when I am not busy.
Jin Yongsan 1993 April 17
At the suggestion of President Jin Yongsan, the Cheongwadae Office of the Presidential Palace specially arranged 66 white sand honeydew melon seeds. Thirty-three films were given to the junior high school of the president, and 33 films were given to the first school in the president's hometown-Changmu National School in Juji County, Gyeongsangnam-do.
1August 24, 993, the melon was ripe. Changmu School sent more than 50 big and fragrant white honeydew melons to the Presidential Palace in Cheongwadae. These "special envoys" undoubtedly helped celebrate the first anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea. President Jin Yongsan once told a friend emotionally that the first anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Zhou Shaohua was the most unforgettable thing for him to eat melon seeds given by Korean children in his hometown.
Jin Yongsan's only private visit during his visit to China.
1In late March, 1994, President Jin Yongsan visited China and only stayed in Beijing for three days. The next morning in Beijing, he specially arranged a "prime time"-an interview with Zhou Shaohua. It is said that this is the only private visit of President Jin Yongsan during his visit to China.
65438+1March 29, 1994 10: 50, Zhou Shaohua, his father Zhou Jixun and President Huang Chaojie, led by the Protocol Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, came to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse and entered the south hall of Building 18.
President Jin Yongsan and his wife Sun Mingshun are sitting on the sofa waiting for them. When President Jin Yongsan saw them enter the South Hall, he quickly got up from the sofa.
Zhou Shaohua greeted him first: "Hello, Grandpa Jin! Hello, Grandma Sun! " Taking his word, President Jin Yongsan took him into his arms, and Sun Mingshun also hugged Shao Hua, smiled and put his face on Shao Hua's cheek, and kissed him again.
This-an old man and a young man with a disparity in status and an age difference of more than half a century-has been heated up, and the original interview of 10 minute has been extended to a full 40 minutes. In order to better improve life and study in Shao Hua, at the end of the meeting, President Jin Yongsan personally gave Shao Hua some gifts and 3000 US dollars in travel expenses, and sincerely invited Shao Hua to visit South Korea in the summer vacation.
China guests at the Korean Presidential Palace.
1994 August 13, the sky is clear and sunny. Seoul, the capital of South Korea, has clear mountains and clear waters. In Cheongwadae, which is located halfway up the mountain, flowers and plants dance and green leaves clap their hands. This solemn and mysterious presidential palace is particularly charming at first glance. Early in the morning, Shao Hua and his party visited the presidential palace accompanied by Ding. At 6: 438 in the morning, President Jin Yongsan and his wife Sun Mingshun were happy to see the children coming. Jin Yongsan said to Shao Hua with great excitement, "Nice to see you again!"
Amid laughter, the host and guest took their seats. The president smiled and asked Shao Hua, "What did you see when you arrived in Korea?"
Zhou Shaohua replied smoothly: "I saw the great rivers and mountains in South Korea."
The president cocked his head humorously and asked, "What do you think after reading it?"
Zhou Shaohua said excitedly: "South Korea is a beautiful country, where the mountains and water are more beautiful."
Hearing this, the president and his wife both smiled happily.
During the dinner, Jin Enxiu, a student from Changmu School who came from the president's hometown, happily told President Jin Yongsan: "We are here today to welcome children from Zhou Shaohua and bring you honeydew melons." After that, Kim Eun-soo and other students presented the President and his wife with six big, round melon seeds with white honey, and excitedly said to them, "This melon seed was sent by Zhou Shaohua, and the next year North Korea produced rich fruits. Sweeter than last year! " Mr. and Mrs. Jin Yongsan stood up happily and picked up the melon. They kindly said to Shao Hua and the other two children, "Come, let's take a photo with Eun-soo."
More than a dozen cameras crunched, and the smiles of President Kim and Chinese and Korean children became sweet memories forever.
Time flies, ten years have passed.
Last year 10, Mr. Jin Zhongqi, the general manager of Tianjin Changqing Hot Spring Hotel, learned from different sources that Zhou Shaohua spent a lot of money in ten years because his mother was hospitalized many times, which affected her studies. Now I am in my twenties, but I have delayed the opportunity to learn a living skill or go to college for further study. Seeing the unsatisfactory situation of Zhou Shaohua, who has devoted himself to promoting Sino-Korean friendship since he was a teenager, Mr. Kim was deeply moved and decided to help Zhou Shaohua.
First of all, Kim Jong Il wrote a letter to former South Korean President Jin Yongsan, in which he wrote: "Your Excellency has forged a friendly friendship with China teenager Zhou Shaohua, and I want to ask your opinion. Zhou Shaohua's mother is ill now, and her life is very difficult. Her father is a primary school teacher. As a member of the Republic of Korea, I also want to do my bit for the friendship between China and South Korea. I want to: (1) give Shao Hua tuition, and (2) give him technical ability through technical education. I think it is more important that the friendship between China and South Korea lasts forever. These small things should be used for development, and no small thing can be ignored. "
Then, Kim Jong Il wrote a letter to the South Korean ambassador to China, Jin Xiazhong. He said that even the smallest thing can't be heard. The Chinese and Korean people are a family, and I will use my meager strength to promote Sino-Korean friendship. I am very satisfied with this.
After several months of contact, Jin Zhongqi wrote a letter to Zhou Shaohua in June this year at 65438+ 10/2 in Chinese, in which he wrote:
"Today, after many contacts and comparisons, I chose a job that is beneficial to Shao Huajun's future. This company is an international brand "ABSR" zipper company with annual sales of $10 million. The boss of the company is an old friend of mine.
After Shao Huajun arrived at the company, he chose a job that was more suitable for him from six jobs. As long as he works hard, the general manager (president) of the company will be responsible for training Shao Huajun until he can master a technology and start his own business (because the company's products are promising projects in Chinese mainland).
The conditions provided by the company are:
1) The monthly salary is 600-700 yuan (with the improvement of my skills, the president's salary).
2) Provide accommodation
3) The first trip to Qingdao factory provided 1000 yuan.
As long as you are interested in going, please write a letter to President An according to the contact address provided below and make an appointment. I hope I can satisfy you. "
When the family received the letter from Admiralty No.7, they were very happy and immediately wrote back to Mr. Jin. The letter said: "After reading your warm and sincere letter, I am really filled with emotion, and I am deeply grateful. For Hua Shao, it is not easy to find a suitable job and do your best, not only focusing on current interests, but also considering long-term development. "
Zhou Shaohua wanted to work in Qingdao at that time, but he had to promise to work in Qingdao after the Spring Festival because of his sick mother's insistence that he go home after the Spring Festival.
After the Spring Festival, Zhou Shaohua came to work in Airbnb Precision Machinery Company. President Ann of the company quietly arranged Zhou Shaohua in the cleaning class to see if Zhou Shaohua was useful. He is in the factory 24 hours a day, and his job is to clean and clean the environment, so I came to inspect him first.
After Zhou Shaohua came to Qingdao, he was not upset because he was arranged in a cleaning class and didn't learn skills, or didn't do it in a rage. On the contrary, he is diligent, hardworking and doing well. A few months later, President An was moved by the young man's down-to-earth, diligent and enterprising qualities, and decided to transfer him to technical jobs and send him to RTVU for further study. The company paid him and paid him as usual.
On July 22nd, Zhou Shaohua wrote his first letter to the Seventh Navy Department from Qingdao. He explained that it is inconvenient to write to you today, because he is new here and must guard against SARS. I'm really sorry for the delay. He said: "after I went to Korea that year, I felt I should do something for the people of the two countries ... until now, this is still a small contribution." Here, I will learn both technology and knowledge. Technology can certainly support the family, but I hope to focus on learning knowledge. Although I dropped out of school and lost the best learning opportunity, I still often read some books, but I know I should learn a lot. But I believe that with your guidance and support, it is never too late. I will definitely do my part for the co-creation and co-prosperity of China and South Korea and friendship for generations, just like you. "
Autumn in October, autumn is crisp.
Mr. Jin Zhongqi has done many useful things for the friendship between China and South Korea over the years (see the report of this newspaper on August 9, 2002). On June 65438+1 October1day, as a foreign expert with outstanding contributions, he was awarded the "Haihe Honorary Award" by the Tianjin Municipal People's Government, which was the first time in Tianjin's history to award such an award to foreign experts.
In an interview with reporters, Jin Zhongqi said many times that he has not done enough to enhance the friendship between China and South Korea. Behind some "big" things, there is more ordinary and ordinary communication between people. Although seemingly trivial, it is an indispensable basic work to enhance the friendship between China and South Korea. China and South Korea care about each other like a family. Little things can't be distinguished from big things. Everything is important, and small things must be done.
Mr. Jin believes that if every Chinese and Korean citizen starts from small things and does it in a down-to-earth manner, the friendship between China and South Korea will continue to develop. Admiralty No.7 was very happy with China's successful manned space flight. On the day when our spaceship returned safely, he specially called the reporters to express warm congratulations. He said that this is not only the glory of the people of China, but also the glory of Asian countries. We are greatly encouraged by the all-round and rapid development of China since the new century. New China has brought a new atmosphere to China. As a Korean who loves China, I firmly believe that the rapidly developing China will join hands with South Korea to create prosperity in a more comprehensive way.
