In the autumn of 1940, Li Peng, who was studying in Chongqing Yucai Middle School, received news from his home asking him to go back. He knew that this "home" referred to the Communist Party organization, so he went directly to the Chongqing Eighth Route Army office. In Eighth Route Army Office Li Peng saw a middle-aged man with extraordinary temperament. Deng Yingchao next to him explained with a smile: " is the Uncle Zhou you always wanted to see."
Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao
When Li Peng heard the words of "Mother Deng", he looked at the idol in front of him with excitement and shouted: " Uncle Zhou ." Zhou Enlai looked at the son of the late comrade-in-arms and happily went up. Before patted him and said: " good boy, you call her "Mother Deng", how do you call me "Uncle Zhou"? I want to accept you as a son, how about calling me "Daddy Zhou" in the future ."
Li Peng, who lost his father in his childhood, has longed for his father's care since he was a child. Moreover, he has been taken care of by Zhou Enlai’s wife Deng Yingchao for a long time, and he has long regarded them as his own family. How could he be unwilling? He happily stepped forward and hugged Zhou Enlai and shouted: " Dad Zhou, Dad Zhou" .
Zhou Enlai watched the child in front of him happily slapped him on the back, then tapped lightly with his fist, instructing the somewhat hunched Li Peng to stand up his chest so that he would be healthy. This was when Premier Li Peng was young. The first meeting with Premier Zhou Enlai. This scene impressed Premier Li Peng.
Premier Li Peng was born in a red family and has been cared for and educated by many revolutionary ancestors since he was a child. These teachings made him use for life.Later, when Li Peng became the Premier of the State Council, he still recounted this memorable passage from time to time, as well as the wise teachings of his ancestors.
Premier Li Peng
Let us recall history together and feel some stories of Premier Li Peng’s interaction with the ancestors.
A tortuous childhood
In 1928, Li Peng was born in a family full of strong revolutionary atmosphere. His father Li Shuoxun participated in the Wuchang Uprising and served as the secretary of the Jiangsu Provincial Military Commission and the Central Military Commission. Mother Zhao Juntao and third aunt Zhao Shilan were also important underground workers of the early Communist Party. Uncle Zhang Shiyan was one of the early founders of the Communist Party.
In 1931, Li Peng's father, Li Shuoxun, was invited to participate in a military meeting on Hainan Island. He was betrayed by a traitor and was unfortunately arrested by the Kuomintang. In prison, Li Shuoxun was tortured and subjected to various inhuman tortures, so that both legs were broken. However, in order to protect the safety of his comrades, he would rather die than surrender, and finally died heroically, only 28 years old.
Li Shuoxun
In jail, when Li Shuoxun knew that he was very bad, he wrote his suicide note and entrusted it to a person in prison who sympathized with him, and brought it to his wife Zhao Juntao.
told Zhao Juntao in his suicide note: I will be executed soon, and I will say goodbye to you, but don’t be sad. There are still countless revolutionary comrades who stick to my heart after me. Unfortunately, I can’t raise my son by myself. You have to educate him well, and the unborn daughter, you have to find ways to get back home, try to seek self-reliance, and don't collect the body for me after I die.
Poor Li Peng, who was only three years old at this time, and his unborn sister , could not remember his father’s appearance. After Li Shuoxun’s death, Zhao Juntao returned to Shanghai with three-year-old Li Peng and soon gave birth to one. daughter.
In the autumn of 1932,Zhao Juntao brought her young children from Shanghai to Chengdu and went to work with her second brother. Zhao Juntao had a strong nature and refused to stay at home. She wanted to go out to find a job to support her children in school. Soon she got a share. Teacher work.
Zhao Juntao, in order to live up to her late husband's entrustment, she sent Li Peng to the best school in Chengdu, so that Li Peng could receive the best education, but due to the persecution of the secret agents, she had to frequently change places of work. So that he could not take care of Li Peng for a long time, and finally entrusted Li Peng to his sister Zhao Shilan's care. Therefore, Zhao Juntao and Li Peng often endured the pain of separation between mother and child.
Zhao Juntao
In June 1939, Li Peng, who was resting in the dormitory of the Chengdu Experimental Primary School, suddenly heard the teacher call him: There is someone in your home, let you go back . At this time, Li Peng hurriedly left the school and ran to the house.
When Li Peng returned home, he saw that the room was full of people. A woman close to her mother's age was talking to his third aunt, Zhao Shilan. She saw Li Peng entering the room, stopped the conversation between them, walked in front of Li Peng, and touched Li Peng affectionately and said: " Lanlan, you grow so tall ".
"Lanlan" is Li Peng's nickname, because his mother Zhao Juntao and his sister Zhao Shilan have a deep relationship, and later because Zhao Shilan has never married, she has been helping Zhao Juntao take care of Li Peng, so he named him "Lanlan."
At this time, the gentle woman in front of Li Peng was the wife of Premier Zhou, Ms. Deng Yingchao. This was the first time Li Peng saw Deng Yingchao. Looking at the gentle woman in front of him made him feel extremely cordial. Deng Yingchao knew that Sichuan was not very stable at the time and often encountered Japanese airstrikes. She discussed with Zhao Shilan whether she could take Li Peng to Chongqing. At that time, Li Peng's mother was engaged in underground activities in Chongqing to take care of him. Zhao Shilan agreed.
Deng Yingchao
Li Peng also wanted to meet his mother, so he followed Deng Yingchao to Chongqing. In order to avoid exposure of Zhao Juntao, who is an underground party, Li Peng could only be arranged at Zhou residence , and Deng Yingchao took care of him life. Deng Yingchao also sent Li Peng to study at Yucai Middle School founded by Mr. Tao Xingzhi. During the day and night, Li Peng kindly called her: " mother Deng."
In the autumn of 1940, Zhou Enlai returned to Chongqing. Work and met Li Peng. Zhou Enlai asked his wife Deng Yingchao in disbelief: "This is Shuoxun's child! They have grown up so much, and they look like his father." Then the scene at the beginning happened. It was also Zhou Enlai and Zhou Enlai. The scene of Li Peng’s dialogue during the first meeting.
Senior care, healthy growth
At Chongqing Zhou Mansion , Li Peng and Zhou Enlai were often taught by Zhou Enlai during the life of Zhou Enlai. Once, Zhou Enlai saw Li Peng coming home from school and asked, "What course did take at Yucai School today? Strong4strong?" Li Peng replied, " Social Sciences."
Zhou Enlai
After Zhou Enlai I picked up a piece of " Xinhua Daily" I had read from the table and asked Li Peng to read the editorial above. Li Peng immediately picked up the newspaper and read it. When Li Peng fluently read the editorial, Zhou Enlai smiled and nodded. Then let Li Peng talk about his views.
Under the guidance of Zhou Enlai, Li Peng perfectly explained this article with Marxism and Leninism,This made Zhou Enlai amazed. After , it was said that there was a primary school student in Yucai Primary School who was able to learn Marxism and Leninism at a young age, and that was Li Peng.
Later, Li Peng often saw Zhou Enlai’s room where many seniors were discussing things. Zhou Enlai was very enthusiastic about the visiting comrades every time, and he listened carefully to what the comrades said. Write them down with a pen.
After the discussion, Zhou Enlai often introduced Li Peng to his friends. Once Zhou Enlai introduced Li Peng to Guo Moruo. Guo Moruo was also very excited and emotional when he heard Li Peng’s identity. He would inevitably remember some past events when he saw Li Peng’s son. Later, Guo Moruo also often came to look after Li Peng and pay attention to his study. And life.
In the relationship between Li Peng and Zhou Enlai, Li Peng not only felt Zhou Enlai's kindness and kindness, but also felt Zhou Enlai's rigor and majesty. One day, Li Peng went to Zhou Enlai's study room and saw a masterpiece " Don Quixote ", he took it down curiously, read it, and after reading it, he put it back on the shelf.
The next day, when Li Peng was eating, Zhou Enlai walked over and asked sternly, ", my copy of Don Quixote, did you take ?" Li Peng was taken aback and then aggrieved. Tell Zhou Enlai that he put it back on the bookshelf after reading it. Zhou En saw his pitiful appearance and didn't say anything.
Zhou Enlai
Waiting until the evening, Zhou Enlai said to Li Peng again:
"I found the book, but I still want to criticize you because you didn't put it back in its original position after reading it. "
This incident made Li Peng's memory especially fresh, and it also allowed him to learn from Zhou Enlai to be rigorous, logical, and meticulous. Shortly after,Due to the changes in the war, Chongqing is not so safe anymore. So the superior decided to let some family members and comrades in the dangerous area return to live in Yan'an.
This time Zhao Juntao sent Li Peng to Yan'an, but he continued to work in Chongqing and continued to endure the pain of separation between mother and child. Before leaving, Zhou Enlai also asked Li Peng: Study hard there, learn more from the predecessors, and visit him in Yan'an later.
In February 1941, Li Peng arrived in Yan'an, the sacred place of revolution, under the arrangement of the party organization. Also began his long life here. Upon arriving in Yan'an, Li Peng first saw the revolutionary martyrs Cai Chang and Li Fuchun and his wife. Because Cai Chang and Zhao Juntao made a deep friendship when they revolutionized together many years ago. So when Li Peng came to Yan'an this time, Zhao Juntao knew that Cai Chang was working in Yan'an, so he entrusted Li Peng to Cai Chang to take care of him.
Cai Chang and Li Fuchun
Cai Chang and Li Fuchun were very happy after seeing Li Peng, Li Fuchun even hugged Li Peng and said with a smile: ", you are finally here, you have grown up so big
Cai Chang also smiled and said: ", yes, it was still small and fat ."
After several people laughed and laughed, Li Peng took out a shabby one from his pocket. letter. Said to Cai Chang and Li Fuchun: " This is my mother's hand-written letter to Aunt Cai Chang." Cai Chang took the letter and opened it, saw Zhao Juntao's request, looked at Li Peng, and thought of Zhao Juntao's all these years. Difficult, very uncomfortable in my heart, I couldn't help but shed tears. After
, Cai Chang cared very much about Li Peng and took good care of him. Since then, Li Peng has another "mother"-"Mother Cai". In Yan'an, not only Cai Chang and Li Fuchun took good care of Li Peng, but Ren Bishi, Chen Yun, Liu Lanbo and others also loved Li Peng, the martyr's widow.
Chen Yun
one day,Chen Yun took Li Peng to live in his own home and taught him about his study and life. They often took Li Peng to eat in the canteen of the central agency. Once they met Chairman Mao. When Chairman Mao saw that Chen Yun had many children around him, he called the two to sit down beside him, and asked Chen Yun suspiciously:
"Whose doll is he? Why haven't I seen it?"
Chen Yun replied:
"At this time, the children of Li Shuoxun and Zhao Juntao have just arrived in Yan'an and are now studying in the middle school of Yan'an University."
"Li Shuoxun". Chairman Mao heard this familiar name, but he couldn't remember it anymore.
Chen Yun hurriedly said:
"Comrade Zhao Shiyan's younger sister and brother-in-law."
After Chen Yun finished talking about Zhao Shiyan, Chairman Mao instantly remembered a few people, and also remembered something, and looked at Li Peng sadly.
Zhao Shiyan
Chairman Mao slowly said to Li Peng:
"Your uncle Shiyan! We are very familiar with each other. We had a revolution together, but it was a pity that we hadn't seen you yet! ...And your father is also great, forget it! Let’s not talk about these sad things, how are you studying? Do you like reading?"
Chairman Mao looked at Li Peng and asked about Li Peng’s study in a cordial manner. Li Peng said that he likes to read. When Chairman Mao asked what to see, Li Peng replied with some embarrassment: " "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" ".
Chairman Mao immediately became interested when he heard it, and said to Li Peng that he also liked it very much.I also asked Li Peng who he likes most in it. Li Peng immediately became happy when he saw that Chairman Mao did not criticize him for reading novels. He hurriedly replied: " I like Cao Cao ". At this time, Chairman Mao and Chen Yun both wrote surprisingly. Generally, everyone likes to compare the more decent images in the novels. For example: Hony's generous Liu Bei , Yi Bo Yuntian's Guan Yu , the loyal and righteous Zhao Yun , resourceful Zhuge Liang and others.
I never thought that Li Peng would like Cao Cao, who is known as a traitor, and Chairman Mao listened to Li Peng's explanation with interest. Li Peng explained:
"Because Cao Cao can unite his subordinates. For example, after the victory of Guandu, Cao Cao found many letters between soldiers and counselors and Yuan Shao, but Cao Cao did not blame them. , But burned all the letters face to face. People who had opinions about him were convinced by him."
Chairman Mao
Chairman Mao listened to Li Peng's headliness.
"This doll is amazing. It must be cultivated well. It must be an individual talent in the future."
Li Peng was also very pleased to hear Chairman Mao’s praise.He was also greatly inspired by him. Later, Li Peng learned a lot of knowledge from the teachings of his ancestors in Yan'an.
Mother's teachings, long-term vision
During the five years of living in Yan'an, Li Peng not only felt the revolutionary enthusiasm of his ancestors, but also felt the hard life at that time, which also gave him a huge temper, Li Peng recalled:
At that time, Yan'an was surrounded by military and economic blockade, so life was very difficult. At that time, there were about 10 people living in a cave. It was very crowded. It made people feel hot and could not sleep in summer, and it was very cold in winter. .
In life, because of Chairman Mao's call for "do it yourself, adequate food and clothing". Everyone, men, women, young and old are actively participating in production, so everyone can still get enough food and clothing in life. In such a hard and vibrant place, everyone is full of hope.
Yan'an Revolutionary Comrade
During these five years, Li Peng not only learned a wealth of knowledge, but also learned the ability to be self-reliant. He also further realized the ideas of communism, which also made him a true Communist Party member.
In 1948, the Communist Party decided to reserve a group of talents for New China, so it had to select some outstanding young people to send them to the Soviet Union for further study. But Li Peng hesitated at this time, even saying that he didn't want to go. Not long after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he finally reunited with his mother who had toiled all his life. He wants to stay with his mother and spend time with his mother.
Because Li Peng knows that since his father passed away, his mother Zhao Juntao has been unable to extricate herself from his memories. Li Peng has seen his mother secretly muttering to herself and crying in tears on the bedside and in the study, watching the portrait of his father many times. There is also the book "The Red Flag Fluttering" under her pillow, which describes Li Shuoxun in detail. She always reads it repeatedly and loves it like her own life.
So Li Peng wanted to be with his mother,Let her be more happy, so that she can come out of pain. But Li Peng's mother was very angry when she knew that he did not want to study in the Soviet Union. Zhao Juntao severely criticized Li Peng, saying that he was short-sighted and proud and complacent. Finally, at the strong request of his mother, Li Peng went to the Soviet Union.
Zhao Juntao and Li Shuoxun
In the Soviet Union, Li Peng did not live up to everyone's expectations. He chose the hydropower major at that time because it was the most needed major after the founding of New China. Later, Li Peng worked hard at Moscow Power Institute. He also served as the president of the Chinese Association of International Students. He helped the overseas students dispatched by China solve various problems in life. He also continued to assist the Chinese Embassy in communicating with the party. Various documents.
In early March 1955, Li Peng graduated with the best grades among Soviet students and returned to his motherland. After returning to China, Li Peng finally met his mother who had been separated for many years. At that time Li Peng wanted to live with her mother, but at this time Liu Lanbo asked him: ", are you going to work as a secretary in the ministry or should you go down to the grassroots work first ?" Li Peng's mother encouraged him to work at the grassroots level in the Northeast.
This time Li Peng did not oppose his mother and started a new journey. Premier Li Peng later said: "I have grown up healthily under the wisdom and vision of my mother all my life, and I have succeeded today." He carried forward the Yan'an spirit, worked hard to learn and practice, and linked the knowledge in the books with the reality as soon as possible. He also ate and lived with the workers, and soon became one with the basic-level hydropower workers and cadres, and his work experience was remarkable. promote.
Premier Li Peng
Soon after everyone praised Li Peng highly, they said that he did not have the pretense of studying abroad, and he could get along with the workers and endure hardship, and he also had a great future in technology.So he was appointed as the trainee director of the power plant.
After becoming a trainee factory director, Li Peng even more meticulously studied technology, and used what he learned in the Soviet Union in the power plant. A few months later, Li Peng was appointed as deputy factory director and vice president due to technological progress. engineer.
On July 19, 1965, Li Peng was appointed as the plant manager of Fuxin Power Plant . After that, he wore overalls and a safety helmet every day, working in the front line of the power plant. Therefore, workers often see him in front-line jobs such as boiler rooms, steam turbine rooms, and coal loading installations. Thanks to the efforts of Comrade Li Peng, the Fuxin Power Plant has achieved full output power generation with 9 units for the first time in history.
Premier Li Peng
On June 28, 1976, Tangshan experienced a major earthquake. Li Peng immediately led the team to Tangshan. In Tangshan, Li Peng brought the generator and brought light to everyone. He also formulated a power transmission plan according to the actual situation, and repaired the important route in seven days and seven nights with the emergency repair team, and successfully transported Beijing's power to Jia'anzi in Tangshan. After that, they rushed to repair 74 substations , so that Tangshan after the earthquake restored basic power supply problems within one month.
Deep feelings, regret for life
Li Peng is a conscientious person at work. In life, he is still a person with strong feelings. On New Year's Day in 1957, Li Peng met Zhu Lin at a party, and the two quickly developed feelings, after which the two officially formed a family.
Li Peng and his wife Zhu Lin
Once Li Peng took his wife to see Zhou Enlai, Premier Zhou Enlai once praised:
"Li Peng, you have a good wife, Zhu Lin is a good wife and mother of the revolution."
With a happy and fulfilling life, Li Peng still has great regrets in his heart, that is, his suffering mother. So in the future work,He always took his wife back home in his busy schedule to visit his mother, and took care of his elderly mother carefully, but he did not rush back to her when his mother died. This became the life of Premier Li Peng. The biggest regret.
After Zhao Juntao's death, Li Peng spilled her ashes into Qiongzhou Strait according to her last wish. Because Comrade Wu Yuzhang once wrote in a poem mourning the martyrs Li Shuoxun: "Where to find the remains of Qiongzhou, I like to see the Red Sunshine End of the World."
knows when Li Peng is away. Shi was still missing his father, , after working, Li Peng did not forget the teachings of other revolutionary ancestors, so he went to visit his ancestors many times. Among them, the most visited were Premier Zhou Enlai and his wife Deng Yingchao, who were most intimate with them. Deng Yingchao also called their family for dinner many times.
Li Peng, Deng Yingchao, Zhu Lin
After the death of Premier Zhou Enlai, Li Peng still took his wife and children to the square every day to mourn Premier Zhou. On Ching Ming Festival and his wife went to the square to eat, missing the days of living with Premier Zhou.
At 8pm on July 10, 1992, Li Peng took his wife Zhu Lin to visit Deng Ying again. Overtime, Zhao Wei reported in Deng Yingchao's ear, but she said in a weak and hoarse voice: "Li Peng..." That was the last two words Deng Yingchao said when he died.
