961, Ann Dunham , and met international students from Kenya , Barack Hussein Obama.
Hussein is 6 years older than Dunham and has dark skin.
But he can get the opportunity to go to university by the state, which is enough to show that he is very smart.
In addition, Hussein is funny and can always find a common language with Dunham from his studies to his hobbies.
Under his intentional pursuit, 18-year-old Dunham was in a mess and was determined to get married.
However, when their relationship was found out by Dunham's parents, they were strongly opposed by their families.
In other words, Dunham was born in a white family.
Her father is a businessman. It is said that his ancestors have produced many celebrities, so his family is from a wealthy family.
And what about her mother? He is the vice president of a bank.
With such a family background, how could parents agree to their daughter marry a poor black boy? In terms of
, the law does not allow it.
Because of that era, intermarriage between different races was not allowed.
However, no matter how their parents dissuaded him, Dunham, who was already tempted, still had to get married.
In order to pursue love, 18-year-old Dunham quietly married Hussein without telling his family.
Not only that, she gave birth to a son Obama not long after marriage.
Seeing the raw rice cooked, even if the family was angry, they had to accept the son-in-law and grandson.
However, what Dunham didn't know was: She abandoned everything and wanted to marry, but she was actually an irresponsible man.
It turns out that Hussein, who came to study abroad, had already married and had children in his hometown!
That is to say, Dunham was cheated of marriage by her husband!
Moreover, Hussein's parents also disliked this daughter-in-law very much; therefore, they rarely contacted Dunham.
What makes Dunham sad is that Hussein is too ruthless.
Because, the husband who is going to Harvard University continues to study has never thought of taking his wife and son with him!
It is estimated that for Hussein, Dunham, who dropped out of school, has become a burden.
That's it, the marriage lasted only three years, and Dunham filed for divorce.
Although her husband is ruthless, Dunham still keeps his original intention.
She did not complain in the predicament, but also faced Obama with a positive attitude.
She educates her son: Your father is a very knowledgeable person; Or: We will divorce, it is the adult business.
Under Dunham's careful care, Obama's childhood was very happy.
Riding on grandpa's back Malaysian and playing with the mother who was over get out of class. There are other children, and Obama does not lack it.
965, Dunham, who was in college, met Sutolo.
Sutolo comes from Indonesia , and has the same ambition as Dunham.
Two young people are in love with each other and have plans to get married.
At that time, Dunham declared to Sutolo in advance: If you want to marry yourself, you have to accept Obama.
can only be said that as a mother, Dunham is very responsible.
So, in 1967, Obama and Dunham went to Indonesia.
The local education level is not high, so Dunham strictly demands his son.
When other students are still sleeping, Obama will be woken up by Dunham.
wake me up at 4 a.m. every day, force me to have breakfast, and then teach me how to learn English for 3 hours. Then the two of them went to work and school separately.
Under the supervision of his mother, he had to recite 50 words and preview the course in advance before he could go out.
At that time, Dunham told Obama: If you want to change the status quo, you must be excellent enough .
Recalling this past many years later, Obama also believed that 's own success is inseparable from the mother's supervision.
The third year after marrying Sutolo, Dunham gave birth to his daughter Maya .
Now, Dunham, who is already busy with work, can't take care of both.
Moreover, the conflict between her and her in-laws is getting bigger and bigger.
Because in local families, women often focus all their energy on their husbands and children.
However, Dunham, who has suffered a loss once, wouldn't he be willing!
Under such circumstances, in 1971, Dunham's second marriage came to an end.
At that time, Dunham was alone with two children and had to work, and his life was very stressful.
In order to give her son a better education, she had to send Obama back to Hawaii first. After a while, Dunham also returned to Hawaii with his daughter to continue his master's degree.
Obama has encountered a lot of discrimination due to his skin color.
Once, he was taken by his mother to a friend's house.
When Obama played with his peers, the other party not only disliked him, but also smashed him with something.
At this time, Obama did not insult or take action.
He stared at the people in front of him with a calm gaze until they were timid and began to retreat. After
, parents also came out to stop them and educated those people hard.
At the same time, parents all think: Obama was educated too well by Dunham; he was mature, wise and responsible.
In response to this, Obama also said:
Mother does not allow us to be rude, mean, or arrogant. We are taught to have a broad mind. If we say something bad about someone, she will seriously enlighten us and help us analyze things.
Obama's mother and sister
I can only say that Dunham never fooled the children because they were young.
On the contrary, in Dunham's eyes, all their things must be taken seriously.
Thanks to the mother's education method, Obama has always believed that can only be recognized by others if he is excellent enough.
And Dunham not only said that, but also did it. After graduating from the master's degree, she started to study for a doctorate at the age of 30.
Due to the research direction, Dunham returned to Indonesia with his daughter.
At this time, Obama was left in Hawaii.
However, my mother did not ignore him because of this.
Dunham will contact Obama from time to time and share what he saw and heard.
In his mother's letter, Obama saw a world he had never known.
Dunham, who has been deeply engaged in research in poor areas, has always been Obama's pride.
, and living with Dunham is also his luckiest point.
It turned out that Hussein, who went to Harvard University, later married another white girl.
But Hussein was dropped out of school due to misbehavior.
After returning to Kenya, Hussein often blamed his third wife for this matter.
So, even if his wife later gave birth to a child for him, he was often beaten and scolded.
In Obama's brother's memories: Father often has conflicts with his mother because of a bad mood.
And Obama doesn't need to experience these.
In his memory, his father was still an elegant scholar.
995, Dunham suffered from cancer.
At that time, she had worked hard for more than ten years and wrote more than 1,000 pages of doctoral thesis. She was a real scholar.
Her experience and education have deeply affected Obama.
Donham's all-out efforts gave Obama a happy childhood.
He did not develop an extreme personality, but instead was positive and willing to work hard on his studies.
It is no exaggeration to say that Obama later ascended the throne of presidential throne, which is inseparable from Dunham's support.
However, at the age of 53, this woman who is talented and knowledgeable has reached the end of her life.
Send away my mother, Obama's life opens a new chapter.
And he always remembers his mother's tolerance, strength and hard work. These advantages also became the cornerstone of Obama's success later.
