Wang Deheng went back and forth to Hunan to engage in underground party work. Because of the particularity of his work, he has never met his father Wang and his young children Wang Hairong and Wang Qihua. I didn't expect this disappearance to mean never seeing you again. Soon after, 1942, Wang Deheng was killed by a spy while working in an underground party. He is only 30 years old.
Due to the particularity of underground work and the need for confidentiality, Mao Zedong intends to keep the news confidential. It was not until 1950, the eighth year after Wang Deheng's death, that Wang learned from his mouth that his son had died eight years ago after receiving the invitation to Beijing.
In this way, the poor white-haired people in the king sent black-haired people, and even their little daughter Wang Hairong didn't know what her father's departure meant to her. It was hard for Wang to accept: people lost their sons when they were old, and only their granddaughter Wang Hairong and grandson Wang Qihua were still around.
In the years after Wang Deheng died for his country, Wang Fanji always thought that Wang Deheng was still working for the revolution. He also kept writing letters to Wang Deheng and Mao Zedong, demanding that Mao Zedong strictly discipline Wang Deheng and that Wang Deheng guard against arrogance and rashness and strictly obey the Party's command. Unexpectedly, everything was written into nothingness, and Wang Hairong and Wang Qihua became martyrs and orphans.
Although Wang Hairong was not accompanied by his father when he was a child, his temper was not as withdrawn as many single-parent children. She is lively and naive and is very popular with her grandfather, Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang named her Wang Hairong, and the name allusion came from a couplet written by national hero Lin Zexu: "All rivers run into the sea, with great tolerance;" The wall stands thousands of miles, and there is no desire. "
Judging from the name Wang gave Wang Hairong, we know that Mr. Wang wants his granddaughter to have a broad mind, tireless curiosity and eclectic knowledge.
Wang Hairong didn't know the philosophy of her name until she grew up. She liked her name so much that many people misspelled the word "Rong" in her name. She will definitely correct it on the spot and will not laugh it off. Sometimes she will explain the origin of her name to people on the spot.
Wang Hairong grew up beside his grandfather, Mr. Wang, and was influenced by many new education and classical literary thoughts. She has a certain literary background, a good language talent and a certain interest in language art. It can be said that grandpa Wang Fanji's education had the greatest influence on Wang Hairong, which almost decided the fate of Wang Hairong's life.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of strict instruction from his father, Wang Hairong often spent three days fishing and two days drying his net in his study, and he was always not too keen on his studies. Otherwise, with Wang Hairong's intelligence and the cultural influence of the people around her, she will surely make greater achievements in her studies.
Wang Hairong has been living in Beijing with his grandfather Wang since 1950. When you are busy with your work, you should always ask Mr. Wang to accompany you when you want to receive hometown fellows or Hunan famous teachers and politicians such as Mr. Qi Baishi, Mr. Xue Gongzhuo and Mr. Zhang.
Sometimes, when President Mao Zedong is in high spirits, he will take special care: gentlemen can take care of their children. Mr. Wang's son has passed away, so he often takes care of Wang Hairong (the martyr and orphan). It is in this constant communication that Wang Hairong gradually became familiar with Mao Zedong.
Because Wang Hairong's father, Wang Deheng, died following Mao Zedong's revolting, Mao Zedong has always taken special care of Wang Deheng's children, namely Wang Hairong and Wang Qihua.
When Wang Hairong was first brought to Zhongnanhai by her grandfather, Mr. Wang, she pointed to President Mao Zedong in the distance and asked her grandfather, Mr. Wang: Grandpa, what should I call him? Grandpa said: You should call him the chairman's father-in-law. Wang Hairong nodded after hearing this.
Wang Hairong was courageous since he was a child. She is not nervous when many celebrities and elders are around her. Instead, she looked around. Once, she picked up an apple on the table and ate it.
President Mao Zedong had already noticed this unusual little girl, so he called Wang Hairong and asked her, "What's your name?" ? Wang Hairong replied: Grandpa Chairman, my name is Wang Hairong, my grandfather is my husband, I am my husband's granddaughter, my father is Wang Deheng, and I have a younger brother named Wang Qihua.
President Mao Zedong asked Wang Hairong: You are a strange little girl. Aren't you afraid of seeing me for the first time? Wang Hairong said curiously, Why are you afraid of the chairman's father-in-law? The chairman's father-in-law won't eat me.
Chatting, President Mao Zedong suddenly remembered that Wang Hairong had written a letter to himself before, but because he was too busy, he forgot after reading it. Before replying to her, he said to Wang Hairong: I was busy last time and didn't reply to you. I'm really sorry.
Hearing this, Wang Hairong immediately put her hands on her hips and pursed her lips and said, Grandpa, it's not just that letter that you didn't reply to me. You didn't give me the basketball I wanted. At that time, the elders laughed when they heard Wang Hairong when they were young.
President Mao Zedong shook his head helplessly and vowed, "Why don't you ask the guard to bring you a new basketball later?" ? Wang Hairong hands rested on her hips, twisting her head, proudly said, I don't want it. I'm not a child now. I like doing other things, but I don't like playing basketball.
The elders present laughed even more when they heard this sentence.
When Wang Hairong accompanied Wang to visit Zhongnanhai, he often met Li Ne, Wang Hairong and Li Ne brought to the Party. They are about the same age and often talk about one place.
I don't know, is it because Wang Hairong grew up under Wang's education, but he was educated in Wang for several years, while Li Ne grew up beside him? So although they have different personalities, different family backgrounds and different life experiences, they have many similarities in their hobbies.
For example: Wang Hairong is talkative, lively and willing to talk with people; Li Ne is reserved and doesn't like to talk much. However, they are also interested in literature, but not in science and engineering. Wang Hairong and Li Ne's personality and hobbies determine their future employment trend.
Wang Hairong and Mao Zedong are closely related by blood-they are the granddaughters of Chairman Mao, and Wang Hairong and Li Ne have a deep friendship. Therefore, Wang Hairong can not only go in and out of Zhongnanhai at will, attend some gatherings of famous teachers and celebrities, but sometimes stay in Fengze Garden in Zhongnanhai for a period of time.
At that time, many people said that Wang Hairong was an supernumerary member of President Mao Zedong's family.
On one occasion, when the Chairman was free, he walked and chatted with Wang, Wang Hairong and his grandparents and grandchildren in Zhongnanhai. Mao Zedong asked Wang Hairong, "sea capacity! Are you going to graduate from middle school soon? Wang Hairong nodded and answered yes. Mao Zedong asked Wang Hairong again: What are you going to do after graduation?
Wang Hairong scratched his head and replied, Grandpa Chairman, I haven't made up my mind on this matter. Mao Zedong encouraged Wang Hairong to say, "You can go to college. The road to building socialism is still very long. Our new China needs many new generations of young people to build. " .
Wang Hairong replied:
When Mao Zedong saw that Wang Hairong was so young, he knew to combine personal interests with national interests. He is glad that socialism has such a new youth. The president said to Wang, on the other side, beside him:
The king shook his head and said:
President Mao Zedong said:
(Wang Hairong's father, Wang Deheng, died after the Mao Zedong uprising, and Mao Zedong has always felt guilty about it. )
Finally, Mao Zedong also said to Wang Hairong:
President's words touched the two generations of Wang and Wang Hairong.
The summer of 1957 was a great setback for Wang Hairong. Before the college entrance examination that year, Wang Hairong's grades were stable, not to mention how excellent, but at least he was admitted to the university. But when the college entrance examination, I don't know why, something happened to Wang Hairong and he lost his reputation in Sun Shan.
In fact, according to the relationship between Mr. Wang and the principal, it's no problem to speak for Wang Hairong, but Mr. Wang's family style will never allow them to openly enter through the back door. Fortunately, Wang Hairong himself is virtuous and never thought of taking this road.
Wang Hairong faces two choices. One is to go back to school to study again, take the college entrance examination again, and go to college. The second is to find a job directly. Originally, Wang Hairong was going to review and repeat at home. However, the arrival of the wave of "great construction" at that time shocked the whole of Greater China.
Wang Hairong, a young girl, has also been influenced by the outside world. She became interested in her work and was eager to contribute to it. However, I didn't expect that this idea was strongly opposed by my family. You know, it's nothing to go out with a high school diploma. They still hope that Wang Hairong can seriously repeat his studies, take a good exam and be admitted to the university.
Wang Hairong's stubbornness factor was aroused. She ran around Beijing looking for a job without telling her family. Finally, she got a job in beijing chemical works. Although Wang Hairong was influenced by her grandfather's literature since childhood, she was actually interested in chemistry and wanted to be Mendeleev, the daughter of China.
When Wang Hairong finished all the formalities for entering beijing chemical works, he finally showed his cards to his family. Faced with the fact that what is done is done, Grandpa Wang, mother and younger brother can only acquiesce in Wang Hairong's choice. In this way, Wang Hairong stepped into the door of beijing chemical works, and his two-year apprenticeship began.
Where is the apprentice so good? Wang Hairong was an apprentice in beijing chemical works for two years. At that time, beijing chemical works paid Wang Hairong a monthly salary of 18 yuan, and gave them meal tickets at noon and evening. There are chicken, duck and fish for lunch and dinner, and each person has a glass of milk every day.
Because the waste in beijing chemical works will seriously affect people's health, the factory administrator specially distributed masks, hats, work clothes and a pair of rubber shoes to the workers. Not only food, wages, various welfare benefits, but also protection work are very good. However, the work in the chemical plant is really tiring. I often need to work overtime at night and support other workshops in an emergency.
Wang Hairong, a teenage girl, has to move a distilled water bottle weighing several tens of kilograms in the middle of the night and go back and forth several times. She was sweating all over and her clothes were soaked. When she stopped, a cold wind blew from Beijing and it was very cold.
The factory in beijing chemical works is being built and produced. Therefore, most workers have to live in unfinished workshops in the long winter without any warm-keeping measures. It is very cold in winter in Beijing, which may be complained by others.
However, Wang Hairong regards this experience as a rare exercise. After all, no one here will take special care of her because of her special status. This kind of life taught her how to handle things independently.
After two years of polishing, Wang Hairong's thirst for cultural knowledge has deepened; 1957 She really doesn't want to fail the exam. She studied hard, made a comeback and finally succeeded. She was admitted to the Russian Department of Beijing Normal University. Wang Hairong especially treasures this hard-won learning opportunity.
Beijing Normal University is located in the center of Beijing. Classmates and roommates go shopping together to eat delicious food. Wang Hairong either makes up notes in the student dormitory or goes to the library to read for a day. When students who live close to each other can go home to eat delicious food once every three days and visit their parents, Wang Hairong can only keep company with a rural female classmate from the suburbs of Beijing.
It is no exaggeration to say that Wang Hairong University spent 95% of her four years in the library, and the student dormitory is just a place for her to sleep. Some people are speculating that if the library allows Wang Hairong to spend the night, I'm afraid she can stay out of the library for a month.
Although Grandpa's home is not far away, and it is warm and comfortable, Wang Hairong has never been back to study several times. Mr. Wang misses his granddaughter very much, but he knows that Wang Hairong is very curious and he can't disturb her. He can only find someone to send her some supplements from time to time to remind her to pay attention to her health even for studying.
In the past four years, Wang Hairong has searched almost all books related to philosophy, literature, mathematics and military affairs in the library. Moreover, in addition to learning Russian well, Wang Hairong also taught himself English, French, German and other languages in his spare time, which further consolidated his language foundation and truly reflected the meaning of Lin Zexu's "magnanimity" and his grandfather Mr. Wang's expectations of himself.
Wang Hairong's classmates often say: We can't see Wang Hairong when we get up-because she has already left; Turn off the lights and you can't see Wang Hairong-because she hasn't come back yet. If anyone wants to find Wang Hairong, they have to go to the library. Whether it's a hot summer in Beijing or a cold day in September, Wang Hairong will be there. If you can see Wang Hairong in the dormitory during the day, it must be because the library is closed for something.
1964 In the summer, another incident happened: the superior sent someone to order Wang Hairong, who had just obtained the diploma of Russian Department of Beijing Normal University, to report to No.33, Foreign Affairs Street, Dongcheng, Beijing, which is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of People's Republic of China (PRC).
That's because Sino-Soviet relations began to deteriorate, and learning Russian was actually not so useful. At that time, Wang Hairong planned to go to a middle school to teach Russian at will after graduation. After all, the Russian teacher of his own school once said: Our goal of training teachers is to train qualified Russian teachers for schools in urban and rural areas of Beijing.
When President Mao Zedong learned that his cousin Wang Hairong was studying in the Russian Department of Beijing Normal University, he told his subordinates that he would recruit him to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as soon as he graduated from Wang Hairong, and that was the beginning of the story.
Because Russian is no longer popular, Wang Hairong was sent to Beijing Foreign Studies University to study English before entering the office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Beijing Foreign Studies University is now Beijing Foreign Studies University and the cradle of the third generation of diplomats in China. President Mao Zedong really took special care of Wang Hairong:
1965 ended Wang Hairong's further study in Beijing Foreign Studies University. According to the instructions of Premier Zhou Enlai, she is responsible for working in the general office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. At first, she was responsible for sending and receiving documents between ministers and prime ministers, as well as other trivial secretarial work.
1in the summer of 970, Premier Zhou Enlai directly nominated Wang Hairong as the director of the Protocol Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A year later, Wang Hairong was officially appointed as the Deputy Director of the Protocol Department. In this way, one order a year, Wang Hairong gradually promoted to vice foreign minister.
Wang Hairong's two-year apprenticeship in beijing chemical works made her feel a lot. Coincidentally, China Youth Magazine often receives letters from apprentices in factories, saying that they have just graduated from high school or junior high school and have just arrived as apprentices in factories, which is really overqualified, which makes people very unwilling.
The editor of the magazine learned about Wang Hairong's unusual experience and thought that it would be more useful for Wang Hairong to persuade these apprentices in the factory to work hard through personal experience than many people's empty talk, so he sent letters to invite her to write articles many times.
On the one hand, he couldn't resist the kind invitation of the magazine, on the other hand, he wanted to write something for his two-year apprenticeship. Wang Hairong finally wrote an article with thousands of words in one breath.
Although the article is full of her real feelings, Wang Hairong is worried that her writing style is too ordinary, so she wrote a letter to Ye Zilong, the secretary of Mao Zedong, and sent her article in the past, hoping to listen to the opinions of President Mao Zedong.
But two months later, Wang Hairong has not received the notice, and Wang Hairong is very worried. She thinks:
17 10 One day in the middle of October, Wang Hairong finally received a notice from her secretary to go to Zhongnanhai at 3 pm on 17, and Mao Zedong wanted to interview you.
In the afternoon, Wang Hairong arrived at Mao Zedong's residence in Zhongnanhai on time. Wang Hairong opened the door and saw Mao Zedong sitting on the sofa with a thick stack of manuscript paper in his hand. Look carefully, this is the manuscript that he asked Ye Zilong to give to President Mao Zedong.
Mao Zedong saw Wang Hairong, motioned for her to sit down, and then took the manuscript and explained it to her one by one. President Mao Zedong first added two lines of Chinese characters to the first page of the manuscript, namely
At first glance, Mao Zedong's pen name is casual, but it actually has profound meaning: Wang Bo's "wave" is similar to Wang Hairong's "sea", with the same radical and similar meaning, but it does not directly indicate that it was written by Wang Hairong, and the overall meaning is more implicit; And "My Experience" is the title of this article given by Chairman Mao.
After Mao Zedong explained his revision, he gave the manuscript to Wang Hairong for her to read. Wang Hairong sat on the sofa, leafing through the pages, and found that in addition to what President Mao Zedong just said, Chairman Mao also wrote many paragraphs, such as one:
There is another sentence: "As the masters of the working class, we will overcome all the mistakes and shortcomings one by one." How can these truths be written by a girl who is not wet behind the ears? The editors of China Youth magazine are naturally aware of this, so they also quoted and marked these paragraphs revised by Mao Zedong.
Mao Zedong was able to revise the article for his cousin Wang Hairong in his busy schedule, which reflected his concern for the new generation of young people in the motherland and the great feelings of President Mao Zedong.
Take this article to pay tribute to the great Chairman Mao!
