On December 1, 1948, People's Bank of China was established in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province. The bank then issued the first set of in China . Since then, the RMB has officially appeared as China's legal currency. Although the style of RMB is different in different periods, one of the most prominent features of the RMB is the words " People's Bank of China " and various types of texts with different amounts.
Most people are very interested in the RMB, and many people are curious. Who wrote the text on the RMB?
On March 1, 1983, Shanxi Daily published a related article on this issue and gave an answer. But just after the article was published, on March 22, the People's Bank of China received a mysterious letter. In this letter, it shows the true identity of the author of the RMB text, and what is said in the newspaper is not the truth.
This letter quickly attracted the attention of bank leaders. The letter was written by a Shanxi man named Ma Mei. She said it in detail in the letter. Although she did not introduce the real author of the RMB text in detail, she still wrote the author's real name, which is Ma Wenmo.
Looking for the truth
This mysterious letter caused a lot of sensation. In fact, the senior executives of the People's Bank of China headquarters at that time were not very clear about the real author of the RMB text. After receiving such a letter, they could not confirm the authenticity of the content of the letter, but out of caution, they decided to report it, hoping to find relevant information and verify the matter.
This proposal was recognized by the headquarters, so in order to find the mysterious author, the bank leaders found the sealed file No. 1.
However, in the top secret file No. 1, the handwriting of the original author is only preserved, and the true identity of the original author is not recorded, and even the name is not recorded. This put the investigation into a deadlock. Fortunately, everyone quickly thought of a solution, which is to verify the author's identity through comparison of handwriting. Although some people can imitate the words of others, everyone's handwriting is different, and handwriting comparison is undoubtedly a powerful proof of identity.
In this way, the staff of the Financial Research Institute received this important task. They took the handwriting sealed in Document No. 1 and went to Shanxi to look for Ma Wenmo according to the address of the letter. After some twists and turns, on May 13, they finally met Ma Wenmo himself.
staff begged Ma Wenmo to write the words of the People's Bank of China. Upon hearing this request, Ma Wenmo picked up the brush and achieved it overnight. He saw that the words he wrote were exactly the same as the words he kept. At this point, the real author of RMB writing was found, and he was indeed Ma Wenmo.
A bumpy life
Ma Wenmo was influenced by his father in his early years and loved learning very much, especially calligraphy. Due to his family, he was able to receive a good education and laid a solid foundation in calligraphy. At the age of 16, Ma Wenmo was admitted to Taiyuan National Normal University with outstanding grades, and later successfully entered the Central National University to study economics. After graduating from
, he once joined the Ministry of Interior of the Kuomintang, and later worked under Kong Xiangxi . But Ma Wenmo was a very upright person and couldn't stand the actions of Kong Xiangxi and others. He was also excluded and eventually resigned.
After the founding of New China, Ma Wenmoke hoped to serve the country, and at this time he met a noble man in his life. This person is Nan Hanchen, the first president of the People's Bank of China. The bank had just been established and urgently needed a large number of talents.
Ma Wenmo was recommended by someone to find Nan Hanchen. Since Ma Wenmo is a top student in the economics department, he had previously worked in the Mint and other departments of the National Government and had rich experience. Nan Hanchen immediately transferred Ma Wenmo to work in the banking department. Sure enough, after Ma Wenmo entered the bank, he solved a lot of trouble and made great contributions to the reconstruction of the financial and monetary order.
Gradually, Ma Wenmo became an important helper to Nan Hanchen, and the relationship between the two was very good. In the summer of 1950, Nan Hanchen suddenly found Ma Wenmo and asked him to write down words such as "People's Bank of China". Ma Wenmo didn't think too much at the beginning, so he used his calligraphy skills to write down related words.
After several writing, he handed over his best work to Nan Hanchen. Ma Wenmo did not expect that his set of characters would become the standard text for the second set of RMB in 1955. In fact, this was the task the organization gave to Nan Hanchen. He knew that Ma Wenmo's calligraphy was excellent, so he asked Ma Wenmo to write it. Because the task was highly confidential, Nan Hanchen did not inform the truth.
Later, Ma Wenmo was subjected to unfair criticism and was sent to work for a long time. Since then, he completely left his post. Fortunately, he saw the second set of RMB and realized that what he had written had actually become the text on the RMB.
However, Ma Wenmo did not fight for anything because of this. It was not until 1983 that he saw the newspaper reports and took the initiative to write a letter to explain the truth. After investigation and verification, the People's Bank of China finally found the real author of the RMB text. Finally, in 1984, the People's Bank of China officially confirmed that Ma Wenwei was the author of the text. At this point, the Chinese people finally understood this past.
