"I ate noodles in the morning and bought them at a stall." Tian Changzhuo told reporters while boarding the steps of a coffee shop. "When I was a child, I often ate at roadside stalls. Now I still have to eat every time I go back to Wuhan. "
"Eight brothers and sisters in our family were born in Huangpi and Wuhan. When I was a child, I lived in Li Fuxing community. I don't know if I'm still here. " Tian Changzhuo said.
Tian Lao was deeply impressed by the "Hankou Six Primary Schools" he had learned in primary school. "At that time, a teacher surnamed Liu told us a sentence called' Laugh without repairing'. I am proud that the clothes I am wearing are patched even if they are broken. "
Eight brothers and sisters of Tian family have made great achievements. Among them, Tian Changlin, the younger brother of Tian Changzhuo, is the most familiar person in China. Tian Changlin is the first China president of the famous University of California, Berkeley.
Speaking of family background, Tian Changzhuo told reporters, "We are all ordinary people, but we all set our ideals and stick to them." In Tian Lao's view, the formation of this humility, persistence and lofty spirit is due to the education of China traditional culture and the influence of parents. Born in a scholarly family, "when we were young, we sang the Song of the Book of Rites, and this lofty spirit of treating others equally influenced us from an early age. Parents also educate us to have a sense of responsibility. "
1939, 13-year-old Tian Changzhuo left Wuhan for Shanghai with his parents. From 65438 to 0949, Tian Changzhuo went to Taiwan Province Province with his family. The turbulent times made the Tian brothers more deeply aware of the difficulties in China society and honed their viability. "When I first arrived in Taiwan Province Province, life was very difficult." Tian Changzhuo recalled that his parents lived in a 9-square-meter house in Taiwan Province. "A bamboo bed and desk will be full." In order not to affect my father's work and rest, my mother volunteered to sleep on the windowsill for a long time. This hard-working spirit is deeply rooted in the hearts of the Tian brothers.
