Preface
50s, young people admired and admired heroes more, and many people had the idea of joining the party, including Li Min. However, no one knew that she had a strong sense of inferiority complex in her heart, because many of the classmates in her class were people with excellent character and academic performance and top grades. In comparison, her grades were relatively poor. In her opinion, this score did not meet the requirements for joining the party at all, but she wanted to join the party again. After several psychological struggles, she decided to ask her father to help her.
read thousands of books, and write like a god
In Li Min's memory, my father was always very busy, and the two met almost a handful of times, but even under such conditions, my father would still personally ask about her homework.
However, for Li Min, her interest in science is far better than that in liberal arts, and has always had a poor Chinese level because of her previous growth abroad. What made her bald was that the composition was really difficult. She thought she was very emotional, but after writing, she had no way to express her emotions at all. Facing her daughter's distress, her father Mao Zedong obviously cared very much. In order to improve her Chinese level, during the summer vacation, he directly invited two teachers for her two daughters, Li Min followed the Chinese teacher, Li Na followed the math teacher, and Li Min's academic performance gradually kept up.

Master led the way in, and practiced in person. Li Min could not rely entirely on the teacher's teaching, and Mao Zedong also realized this. One day, Mao Zedong brought Li Min to his study room, and suddenly said to a shelf of books in the room: "Reading thousands of books, writing is like a god. If you want to break through the Chinese level, you must make up your mind to read one book by one, and after reading one, you will make progress."
Li Min knew his father's good intentions. In order to increase her interest in reading, his father often guided his daughter to read some famous books. Li Min was not interested at first, and Mao Zedong had a solution to this. He specially selected a few very interesting plots or paragraphs to tell her. Sometimes he would read the poems in the book. Slowly, Li Min was also immersed in the world in the book.
Mao Zedong was pleased to see his daughter interested in domestic classics such as " Dream of Red Mansions ". If her daughter could learn some ancient Chinese, it would be completely beneficial and harmless for her to improve her writing logic and expression ability.
After seeing her daughter's progress, Mao Zedong began to make her next plan. It was time to expand the content of her learning. For example, she could try to read some world famous works. Mao Zedong himself likes to study, so his requirements for his daughter have gradually increased. He wants his daughter to fall in love with the feeling of reading.

Li Min read " Human Comedy " eagerly, and was ready to read these writers all the time. However, at this time, Mao Zedong added a book list to her, including books such as "The Complete Works of Marx and Engels".
For this reason, Li Min almost devoted her spare time to reading, so Li Min often brought home the books borrowed from the school library and returned to school on Sunday. When Mao Zedong arrived at Li Min's room, he could see the books she placed on the table at a glance. Before leaving, he would also take the books away to read.
While reading, Li Min is also very interested in physical education classes, and her sports performance is not bad either.
However, accidents always happen inadvertently. Once, when she was in physical education class, she accidentally sprained her ankle, causing a fracture of her right leg and it was also severely swollen.
The school quickly sent her to the hospital, but during the recovery period, Li Min felt uncomfortable all over, her whole body became weak, and she had no strength. The hospital felt that something was wrong, so she quickly took her blood for test. This was amazing. The results showed that she had acute hepatitis, and the medical staff rushed her to the infectious disease hospital, which made her stay in the hospital for two months.
The days of hospitalization are not as boring as imagined. In my spare time, uncles and aunts will always come to visit me, and classmates will also go to the hospital to chat with her after school.

What makes Li Min the most happy is that Chen Yi Uncle is also in this ward. After a while, the two became patients who depended on each other. In order to prevent Li Min from living bored, Chen Yi also found a job for himself, went to her bedside to tell stories, and sometimes she would play with her.
However, Li Min looks at the door of the ward every day because she misses her father very much. Every time she goes home from school on weekends, she can see her father greeting her with a smile. Now that she is sick, she naturally wants to see her father, but she also knows that her father is very busy and cannot delay her father's work because of her.
The daughter was sick, and Mao Zedong was always thinking and worried. She couldn't go to the hospital, so she could only ask the guard to bring some food and see for her, and then asked the guard to bring back the progress of her daughter's condition and report it to him later.
Although his father did not come, Li Min knew that he had been paying attention to him. Once, the guard came to see Li Min again, holding a piece of rice paper in his hand. The content on the rice paper was written in a brush. This is the only poem written by Mao Zedong to his daughter. The lines in the poem all reflect a father's deep love for his daughter. After
, Li Min kept treasured this poem and couldn't bear to take it out for others to see.

Finally, Li Min was cured and discharged from the hospital. On the day he went home, Mao Zedong was overjoyed and said happily: "You are finally back, Dad welcomes you."
Do you have to dress up and dress yourself
Days are still the same, and my father is still very busy, while Li Min cherishes the time he spends with his father more and more.
Finally, another opportunity was placed in front of Li Min. One day, Mao Zedong knocked on Li Min's bedroom: "Let's go, let's go out for a walk together." When Li Min heard this, he felt a happy factor in his whole body.
This time, taking his daughter out was not a sudden thought. You should know that this was the period when my country began its first five-year planned construction. The suburbs of Beijing needed to build several large reservoirs: Miyun Reservoir and Thirteen Tombs Reservoir. This time, Mao Zedong planned to inspect the Thirteen Tombs Reservoir. Then he suddenly thought that Li Min was at home. After thinking about it, he simply took her with him.
Li Min was so happy when she thought about being able to go out with her father. She used such opportunities one by one, so she kept talking all the way and told her father about her latest school.

Mao Zedong did not interrupt her, but suddenly sighed that the little girl had grown up unknowingly, and she had gradually transformed from that "foreign baby" into a Chinese female student. She was wearing a foreign skirt, but a dark blue cadre uniform.
Mao Zedong couldn't help but touch his daughter's hair: "You are already a big girl. You have to dress yourself up and dress yourself more beautifully, otherwise you won't be able to find a partner in the future."
Li Min hadn't reacted yet, but Mao Zedong was amused by himself first.
Li Min heard his father's hearty laughter and realized that she grinned: "You father, you don't speak like a father!"
Mao Zedong was not angry, but pointed to Li Min's two braids: "Tie two beautiful bows on the braids, and people will be much more beautiful. Of course, you can't dress too much, others will regard you as a monster."
As he spoke, Mao Zedong was amused by himself again, and Li Min was infected by his smile.
From this we can see that Mao Zedong was still relaxed in his education for his children, but he also had a strict side.

On January 19, 1989, Li Na was chatting with her husband Wang Jingqing, and inevitably talked about : "The Chairman has strict requirements for his children. One is that he has strict requirements for us in life. We are not allowed to have a special point. The second is that he has strict requirements for his political requirements, which requires us to carry out politically and make progress. As for what dragon and phoenix he will become in the future, There is no requirement for this. As long as we do some work for the people, serve the people, and be an ordinary worker, that's fine. "
During the difficult period, Li Na studied obediently in school. Seeing that her classmates had more than 30 yuan in living expenses, she was a little envious because her father only gave her more than 20 yuan, including miscellaneous expenses. Sometimes she felt that her living expenses were not enough, but her father would not specifically increase it for her.
Li Na got married late and got married in her thirties. It is because she has always been single, so she has always lived in Zhongnanhai . After she graduated from college, her family stopped providing money, and she could only live on 46.5 yuan.
Even if you live in Zhongnanhai, Mao Zedong would not let Li Na go to Zhongnanhai for dinner, but went to the canteen of the government. Mao Ze and his daughter said, "You have a very superior life now. How can you live in the future? How can you live the life of ordinary workers?"
Mao Zedong has always treated his children equally. Li Min has not enjoyed any special treatment since he moved out of Zhongnanhai. In difficult times, like ordinary cadres, she could only rely on a little soybean rice distributed by the government to supplement nutrition and treat swelling . However, even in such an environment, Li Min did not want to go over to satisfy her father's cravings.

Why do you want to join the party
Li Min grew up in front of her father, and with her father's cultivation of her literature, Li Min's knowledge also expanded.
In the 1950s, Li Min was keen on reading like the young man of that era, and was full of yearning for ideals and ambitions. As the reading volume increased, she fell in love with "How Iron Iron Is Made in ", and therefore, she fell in love with a sentence in it:
"The most precious thing for a person is life. Life is only once for a person, and human life should be spent like this. When he looks back on the past, he will not be sad because of wasting his years, nor will he be ashamed of mediocrity. At the end of his life, he can say with shame that my entire life has contributed to the most magnificent cause of mankind - the cause of communism."
50s, young people admired and admired heroes more, and many people had the idea of joining the party, including Li Min.
Looking at the Communist Party members around her, an urgent situation arose in her heart. She wanted to join the Communist Party of China, to become a person like her father, and to fight for the cause of communism throughout her life. Gradually, she also had the idea of joining the party.

However, no one knows that she has a strong sense of inferiority in her heart, because many of the classmates in her class are people with excellent character and academic performance and top grades. Compared with that, her grades are relatively poor. In her opinion, this score does not meet the requirements for joining the party at all. However, she wants to join the party again. She has experienced strong struggles in her heart, and she has struggled with conflicts and struggles. For this reason, she has also written a special application for joining the party, but she has not dared to submit it at all. She has also thought about whether she can sit down and chat with the party members in the class. However, she still can't open her mouth. She knows the gap between herself and others. After several psychological struggles, she decided to ask her father to help her.
On Saturday, Li Min returned home as usual and then found her father. She had been slapping her in her heart for a long time and finally plucked up the courage: "Dad, I want to talk to you."
Mao Zedong and his daughter always get along with her as she pleases. Both of them are very relaxed. There are rarely such serious moments. Mao Zedong is a little confused about his daughter. Are he facing any problems? If possible, he can provide psychological counseling.
Thinking of this, Mao Zedong put down the pen in his hand, then raised his head and looked at his daughter, and said softly: "What do you want to talk about?"
"I want to join the party."
"Why do you want to join the party?" Mao Zedong did not express his views for a while, neither denying nor affirming. More often, he wanted to listen to his daughter's views.

If the father expressed his attitude, Li Min still had a clear mind, but now it is obvious that the expression on his father's face has not changed, he is not happy, nor is he surprised. What he did not expect was that his father would ask her back, and a wave of disappointment came towards Li Min. The courage she had finally accumulated, she suddenly didn't know how to continue to talk to her father. How to express your thoughts in
? Li Min opened her mouth, but didn't know where to start. Finally, she could only say in a depressed voice: "Your father is not like a father. Other fathers encourage their children to join the party. You are fine, but instead asked me why I wanted to join the party."
Looking at his daughter's pouting little mouth, Mao Zedong couldn't help laughing. His face was not so serious, he calmed down and continued, "I ask you why you want to join the party and what troops do you have? ? Am I helping you? Your brother Mao Yuanxin wants to join the party, come and talk to me, and I asked him the same. When a person joins the Communist Party, he must first clarify why he joined the party and correct the motivation for joining the party . "
Li Min only reacted at this time. When she asked that question, her father no longer talked to her as a father, but as a Communist Party member, he talked to a young man who wanted to join the party. After
, Li Min also went to college smoothly. At that time, she officially entered the ranks of joining the party. On the eve of her joining the party, the comrades of the party committee specifically talked to her.

Their first sentence coincides with what his father said back then, and time is intertwined: Why did you join the party?
The sentence was once again asked from a stranger. In fact, when Li Min applied to join the party, she also thought about this question, why did she join the party?
In fact, she herself had thought about whether it was because everyone around her joined the party and she was unwilling to fall behind others, so she had this idea?
However, when facing her father, she thought about this issue seriously, and Mao Zedong was very responsible to the party and his daughter.
During this conversation, he told the other party all the conditions, responsibilities and obligations that a Communist Party member needs to meet. Li Min listened carefully to her father's words. After that, Mao Zedong glanced at her, "Can a person with poor homework join the party?"

Li Min then realized that she thought about her achievements and felt a little guilty. Compared with the people around her, she was indeed not outstanding at all.
Moreover, through this conversation, Li Min also understood that to see whether a person is in the party’s conditions to join the party, we not only need to pay attention to the other party’s performance in study and work, but also to look at the other party’s political attitude and political performance, and to firmly establish the correct political direction.
After the conversation, Li Min chewed the content of the conversation with her father after she went back. Through her father's words, she reflected on herself. Although she really wanted to join the party, she did not have the conditions to join the party now. She is still a little immature and has no way to take the lead and exemplary role of a party member.
So, after she returned to her room, she quickly put the application for joining the party in the drawer, burying this wish in her heart forever. In Li Min's heart, she needs to work hard and create conditions for joining the party by herself.

It was not until after going to college that Li Min felt a little mature. She had met the conditions her father had told her that year, so she solemnly wrote down the application for joining the party again. Afterwards, after organizational investigation, she finally became a Communist Party member.
That year, the little girl who talked to her father had grown up and could carry the sky on her own and do more meaningful things for the people.
