Preface
Zhu Min is Zhu De's daughter. She was born in Moscow on April 18, 1926. She was imprisoned in German concentration camps for three years during the Soviet-German War, and suffered a lot of torture. It was not until January 1945 that the Soviet Red Army conquered East Prussia that Zhu Min was able to leave the concentration camp.
In 1953, Zhu Min graduated from the Lenin Normal University in Moscow and became a teacher after returning to China. But she has left China and her family for so long that she is not familiar with her beloved father...
Zhu De and Zhu Min
Zhu Min pretended to cry for Tiananmen . Zhu De was angry
Really knowing her father was Zhu Min returned from Moscow and was assigned to Beijing Normal University .
In the past, she and her father were reunited for a short time, and her father did not have too high demands on her, and she did not think that her father was a strict father. Zhu Min wondered if she was a girl and the youngest that she might be spoiled to her. Later I found out that it was the thoughts that she had only a lack of deep understanding of her father. In fact, Zhu De was equally strict with their children, but it turned out that she was not always around and had no idea about her father's heart. If they truly understand Zhu De's heart and his principles of being a human being, they will be able to deeply understand the harshness, strictness and even harshness of people.
Therefore, some of Zhu De's practices cannot be simply compared and explained by human nature. For example, before returning to China, Zhu De had gotten angry with her because Zhu Min didn't understand what he thought at that time, which made her feel wronged for a long time. If this matter was left to her after she returned to China, she would not ask Zhu De about such ignorant problems, and would not feel wronged.
Zhu De got angry that time in the fall of 1951. Because Zhu Min’s school requires students to conduct social investigations, Zhu Min returned to Beijing for a few days. During this period, we happened to encounter the National Day on the second anniversary of the founding of New China. According to convention, the leaders of the Party and the state will climb the Tiananmen Gate Tower on this day to celebrate the festival with the people of the capital. Last summer vacation, she went to Tiananmen Square , but she had never been to Tiananmen Square, so she was very yearning for the tall tower. This time, Zhu Min really wanted to stand on it and see the scenery of Beijing. After returning home, Zhu Min heard that Zhu De was going to the Tiananmen Gate Tower, she wanted her father to take her up there with her to take a look.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she said this, her father got angry and said that she was ignorant: Celebration is a collective activity of the central government, how can she bring her children?
Zhu Min (middle)
Seeing that his father did not agree, Zhu Min didn't give up. She thought celebrating the festival was an easy event, so how could she be so serious? Zhu Min called her friend Liu Aiqin (the daughter of Liu Shaoqi). She had never been to the Tiananmen Gate Tower and happened to want to go up. They walked up to Zhu De together and deliberately squeezed out tears.
"Look, we are all crying, don't you take us there yet!" Zhu Min thought that using this trick, Dad would be soft-hearted.
Who knew that Zhu De, who had always been kind, not only did not feel soft-hearted at this time, but instead raised a stern face and said to his daughter very rarely, "Zhu Min, are you really so ignorant?"
Zhu De's words hurt her daughter's self-esteem and made her lose face in front of her friends. She suddenly changed from fake crying to real crying, and tears of grievance flowed. She was dissatisfied with her even moved out of "Stalin". She defended that when she was in Moscow, every year when the founding of the Soviet Union, Stalin would invite them, Chinese students to the Red Square Observation Platform. As soon as
said, Zhu De became even more angry: "Shut up! How can you compare like this? Stalin asks you, because you are my daughter, a guest of the Soviet Union, which is out of diplomatic etiquette and respect for another country. But now you are in China, not a guest. If you want to participate in the National Day event, you can go to Tiananmen Square to have a party with the masses there. The Tiananmen Square Tower is the place where the leaders of the party and the state are active, not where you children go!" Zhu De got up and left after saying that.
Seeing Zhu De's face turned pale, Zhu De thought that his father was really angry and didn't dare to say anything else, but he always felt very wronged. If he didn't get up, he wouldn't get up. Why did he make a fuss? He raised all diplomatic etiquette?
Zhu De
At noon, Zhu De returned from the Tiananmen Gate Tower. When Zhu Min saw it, she deliberately turned her head and ignored him. Zhu De seemed to have forgotten the unpleasant "friction" in the morning. He walked to his daughter with a smile and asked, "What did you do at home in the morning? Didn't you go to Tiananmen Square?"
Isn't this a pot that doesn't open and pick up any pot! Zhu Min's eyes were tide again, and she really wanted to cry.
"Zhu Min, I know you are still angry with Dad. Dad thought about it too. His attitude towards you in the morning was a bit stricter, and you may feel wronged. But have you ever thought that other ordinary people's children can go to the Tiananmen Gate Tower? Because of Dad's relationship, you are different from other ordinary people. What will happen? It will only add to your sense of privilege. We are Communists, a party that serves the people of . It is not an era when the feudal dynasty was in power alone and the chickens and dogs were in power. You must remember one thing, you are an ordinary person, and you must support yourself like all ordinary people. Can you understand the truth that Dad said?
's father's words were very profound, which made Zhu Min accept a new question from another perspective for the first time: What position should children like them be in society?
Zhu Min will naturally choose the position of an ordinary member of society without hesitation. However, since has chosen this life position, it will bring a practical problem: if you are an ordinary person, you must enjoy the "treatment" of ordinary people. Zhu Min had never thought about this in before, and he had never put the word "ordinary" into his life to experience it.
Seeing that his daughter no longer pouted, Zhu De told her that he had already told the kitchen master to make more Western food, which was the "salad" she liked to eat. This time my father treated her to the guests!
Zhu De
Zhu Min is a young man after all, when the clouds were blown by the wind, his mood suddenly became clearer again, and he happily took his father's hand and walked into the restaurant. Although the matter of
passed quickly, Zhu Min learned about his father Zhu De's character and principles from then on. She knew that in some things, his father could not have any personal relationship!
Zhu De asked the guard to find his daughter to go home. As soon as Zhu Min entered the door, he was melted by the scene in front of him.
Zhu Min's room in the school was a collective dormitory of only 12 square meters. There is no kitchen or bathroom in the room. Although Zhu Min has already started a family, her husband Liu Zheng works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and spends more than half a year abroad, and Zhu Min is alone at home and outside the family. Zhu De was almost 70 years old at this time and needed children to take care of him. Zhu Min hoped that his father could keep him by his side!
Once, Zhu Min said to his father: "Dad, you are old, you are the only daughter. If you let me stay by your side, you can take care of your life, and I can also do my daughter's filial piety."
"Our country now needs talents. You are a college student supported by the motherland and the people. Your main task when you come back is to contribute to the construction of the country, rather than being a filial son and grandson. As long as you work hard, you will be the greatest filial piety to your father." Zhu De rejected his daughter's filial piety.
Faced with a father whose interests are above everything else and whose interests are selfless and fearless, what else can a daughter say?
Zhu De and his wife, Zhu Min and Liu Zheng,
Zhu Min lives in the dormitory of the Teachers University alone, and they are inevitably a little deserted. They always miss their children, so they often go home to visit their son. When Zhu De saw his daughter coming back often, he criticized her: "You have grown up and you must learn to live independently. We leave your children by your side just to avoid distracting you from work. But when you always come back, your time is spent on the bus. Can you have more time to study and teach? You can't come back until Sunday in the future!"
Zhu De's approach made his daughter unacceptable. His housing is very large and there are many staff members. Is she the only one more person at home? Zhu Min couldn't figure it out, so she didn't go home in anger.
Zhu De saw that his daughter would not go back on Sunday, and knew that she was in thought and emotional again, so he asked the guard to find her daughter to go back.
As soon as Zhu Min entered the door, she saw her father holding his child and playing with "beard". Zhu De put his bearded chin in front of his grandson's face and said, "Zhazaza...Zhaza". When the little guy heard this sound, he began to dodge left and right, giggling so hard that he saliva flowed... Kang Keqing's mother said that the old and young often played this "beard-breaking" game.
Zhu Min's resentment was melted by the scene of their grandparents' joy. She understood her father's painstaking efforts for her. He simply wanted her to adapt to the working environment quickly and do more work for the motherland.
Zhu De asked his daughter why she was in a mood? Zhu Min said that he had complaints but now he has no more. Because her thoughts have been understood, she can understand all kinds of things at once. Later, Zhu Min went home to reunite with her family on Sunday according to her father's request, and spent the rest of her time at work.
Zhu Min
As time goes by, Zhu Min feels more and more the precious meaning of Zhu De's strict requirements for her, and even in the end, this precious meaning has turned into the most precious wealth in her life.
Zhu Min lived in the school single dormitory for several years before moving into the unit, and lived there for 40 years. The dormitory building built in the 1950s was already very old, and many people advised her to find school leaders and arrange a better house. But she thought that there were still teachers in the school who did not have complete housing units so far, and compared with them, she should be satisfied.
Zhu Min slowly got used to living alone, no longer missed her children, and devoted herself to teaching. As soon as she went to school, she taught the Russian freshman class. The students' level was uneven. She was a new teacher and had no teaching experience and encountered many difficulties in teaching. Because she does not have the airs of a high-ranking official's children, everyone is willing to get along with her, care about her and help her, so that she can quickly be competent in teaching, and teach this Russian class until graduation. How gratified she was to see her students taking their knowledge to work in building the motherland!
The happiness you get in your career is the greatest happiness! This happiness was also given to his daughter by Zhu De.
More than a year later, Zhu Min recalled that it was precisely because her father did not allow her to enjoy special treatment and let her live and work like ordinary people that she could have a happy life and a normal heart today.
